Custom/exclusive shooters, how much money are you making?
Just had a very intersting chat with a guy on ICQ who is shooting some very nice sets exclusive and was shocked to learn what he earns a set.
Over the course of 3 months we sell a solo girls set 10 times at $35 to $40, go back 3 months and a good set will sell another 5 times, go back another 6 months and the set will sell another 5 times.
20 sales over a year on a set at $35, these are average figures, $700 split 50/50 the shooter gets $350, still owns the set and could place it with other brokers becasue I doubt if I have all the business on the Internet. Plus he might like to sell it to magazines.
This guy is shooting sets $150 a set and he's good. Only problem is he's scared I will pay him the same money.
On Lesbian and Hardcore the figures are a lot higher.
The "Exclusive is the only way" brigade will have you believe that anything non exclusive is flooded on the market. Yet they pay a lot less than it's worth if it was sold non exclusive and flooding the market.
To flood a set on the Internet and it's 1 million feeder sites into 200,000 paysites would be a phenomenal job and mean we would have to sell a set 100 times minimum with every buyer having the right to give it to 1,000 affiliates.
Truth is these guys pay squat, in the hope the producer does not realise one of the reasons the buyer is buying is the way he will make proper money.
We broker for one guy who is with 5 other people, bet he makes more than any of the custom shooters. He also sells to magazines.
