In fact if it cost more to produce where you are you should be maximising on the content. I assume you shot Casey, have you shot her on film? Then show the set to the magazines.
Barely Legal up to $2400
18Eighteen $1800
Tight $1800
Club Confidential $1200
Then the UK market, reckon on $800 to $1300 a set, then Europe, need I go on.
Off our store brokered 20 sales at $40 split 50/50 give you $400 for the set, you could also give it to a few other brokers.
Then the video will sell the same amount. Then there are DVD, Video, do I need to go on.
The only reason I can do it is I refuse to shoot for clowns who think they are doing me a favour by paying me $400 for a set and a video exclusive. So they can make big bucks off their sites. Because as they tell everyone the only way forward is exclusive and their sites have it and are successful.
There is no need to run a store if you have not the time. Try brokering a set and video and see what makes you the most money.
And who give a fuck if it's filler or tour content? A buck is still a buck.
Playful Me has the right idea. We produce content and earn more money selling licenses to lots of people.

Im not really disagreeing with you Charly at all. It's just not my market and when I sell someone exclusive sets ( I normally shoot entire sites ) I have to mean it.
The reason why cost matters is that for me to do what you do we would have to lay out a ton of cash. Where you could spend 2,000 and get a ton of content, 2,000 for us gets my two days with one girl or one day with two models. So maybe 10 sets where you can get 3 times that for the same price. I would have to pay out 8,000 for what you can get for 2,000. Thats when it matter. So, my start up cost for shooting non-exculsive is much great. Why pay that start up cost, when my clients will pay the model rates and I dont have any out of pocket money for talent? We just have a different business model really and your cost are significatlly cheaper.
Yes, I shot that casey site in my sig. Its one of mine. The only reason its there is because i parnter in the as I do a couple sites in that program.
I'm not saying you are wrong at all. This is just the way I do it. It works for me and I get to have more interaction in the site and how they will market it in the end. I like that.
