I come from a business where shooting non-exclusive and selling it country by country, first and second rights is the only way to go.
For instance a good magazine set would sell in UK, US, EU, Australia and Japan. Maybe not every set, every time but enough to make it worth while. The same with videos, they would sell country by country.
An average to good set is worth $3,000 minimum. Problem is they are hard to shoot, the girls have to be good and the most we can sell in a year is 120.
On video we have a UK company paying us $300 for non-exclusive video, to go with a picture set that is exclusive for a year. Plus I have just been speaking to a contact who will pay $10 to $30 a minute for non-exclusive video to be sold on tape via mail order in a single country.
Now with the Internet we have another place to sell our content via the content stores. And possibly paysites in the future.
So how do we feel when a paysite offers us $300 to shoot a solo girl set and video or even as much as $1,000 for a boy girl set? We politely turn themn down and tell them the price is $450 for solo or $2,000 for boy-girl.
The Internet is fast becoming the prime area for people to buy porn, it's private, easy, cheap and the selection is awesome. This is the fastest growing porn market, magazines are shrinking and videos are stagnent. This is where the business is.
However some companies need to pull themselves out of the "Price" rut. If they do not they will disappear to be replaced by companies with the balls and money to rise above the rest.
And please do not tell me you can't afford it. If an exclusive solo video and set that you can do with as you please, give to affiliates, put up as many time as you like is not worth the cost of 15 sign ups (using the $30 a month price) then custom is not as good as I'm told.
