I said its where the demand is.
Alot of photographers used to make a good living getting their sets on web-legal and places like that.....now alot of them shoot only exclusive because its the only way they can make money.
I remember a statement issued by Dave Clark not too long ago about not taking any new photographers on web-legal, because he just didn't see much of a future in the non-exclusive arena.
But I suppose you know more about the content business than him too right?
Every time you troll up one of these threads its only to sell your $30 sets out of your store.....so enough already.

Do I know more about the content business than Dave Clarke?
You just lost the argument.
Dave Clarke worked from home, his site was a nightmare, he did not give 2257 documents out, he said he could be relied upon to check them, then posted a forged ID he had checked. The guy could only sell $75 worth of our content over 15 sets.
He basically was yesterdays animal, he was put out of business by guys like me, Photorama, World Wide Content and many many more.
So he sized down because the business has moved to exclusive and the market can't sell non exlclusive any more. I wondered how long it would take before you came up with that.
IT's bullshit and you know it.
If we content providers can't sell non exclusive why is it all saturated content? We are either selling content and saturating the market, and that means more than 10 sales, or we are not selling it and not saturating the market.
Or are you just laying down a line of BS that you're doing great because you have exclusive to influence the affilaites, seems to me two people are trying to sell here.
And you came up with a good point,
our 20 sets for $30 offer. This offer will sell 200 times and be taken down. Thats 200 times $1.50 a set = $300 after the set has already made us money in the normal content store, then the bargain basement store and now in an offer.
Seems guys shooting for $400 a set and a video must really be cleaning up.
I don't care if you make a fortune on your sites and pay the guy shooting it $10 a set exclusive, if he's fool enough to sell to you, you would be a fool to take it.
But maybe one content producer will realise EXCLUSIVE works for the paysite owners not the producers.
But the reality is most custom exclusive shooters can't shoot to a decent level and are left to sell on price any way they can. There are a few exceptions.
Shooting_Manic we pay a minimum of $500 a day, and often more for solo and lesbian, for boy-girl it's around $1,000 a day. Add the agents fee, one in four girls, and you are very wrong with your assumption of $200. but as I said if you are paying a lot for models then you need to earn the most back. assuming you have the money to fund a shoot.
