Aaron you may be right for most content providers, but for iothers you are 100%. WRONG
Selling porn has been my full time living living since 1988 and part time since 1977.
This set was shot in 1989 and is still selling, to date it has sold 60 times on the net, starting at $35 and now at $5. Even at % it would have made $300.
I've spoken to many people about shooting exclusive and to be honest it's not worth it. Good sets that sell to magazines will make on average $2,000 a set. Then on the net you can reckon 20 times at $35. Total earnings $2,700. Got anyone spending that kind of money for EXCLUSIVE SOLO GIRL SETS?
Tag on a video and you can sell it for a little bit off the net, it's really a hard core market. But add on $500 and then 10 sales at $35 total $850.
TOTAL SALES $3,550. For a solo girl set, shooting two girl will put 25%-35% on these figeure, Boy girl 50%+ But shooting couples is slower.
Bad sets we don't shoot on film and it's a productionline here. Most of the pretty girl sets will sell 10 times and a video 5 times, these are low figures. So reckon on $525 a set/video. Shot 5 of these a day and you are making $2,600
You used laughable figures, from where I'm sitting, to prove your point.
Seriously look at most of those shooting exclusive custom content and then look at us and tell me there's no money in non-exclusive. There's just no money for most of them doing it and the reason is not because it's exclusive or not, it's because it's not good porn.
It might fool the webmaster or even a paysite owner, it might have fooled a surfer 12 months ago, but today it just does not cut it. Buy bad content, exclusive or not, and the surfer will see it for what it is and move on. Buy good content and the surfe rwill see it for what it is and stay.
Be it Playboy style or Reality, TODAY it needs to be
