I do make a LOT more than $150 a set or video from the content stores, everyone says non exclusive is saturated, 10 sales would hardly saturate a set and we are pretty good shooters so sell 10 times easily.
But we have another problem.
Because of extra staff we've recruited for video editing and will employ soon as content manager, I have two girls sitting in the office doing very little work. We shoot 2-3 days for ourselves and the couple of custom clients we do have, Eva and I shoot for them, and just shooting more content will not resort to more sales.
The top content goes int PMCS, the lesser stuff goes into BBCS both sites get enough new content to keep sales rolling. Putting up more sets will not mean more $$$. We will also be brokering for a UK DVD distributor so sales are at the top.
So shooting exclusive was an option, I can put the two girls into the studio full time, they have both had their work published in magazines so not crap shooters, and leave them to it.
$1500 a day is reasonable money for an easy days solo girl shoot. Problem is some think that's a lot. Lensmans offer of $1,000 a day is a joke and anyone working for that price is a fool or not very good. Respect to him and good luck if he gets it done at that price but, the shooter could earn a lot more brokering the sets or he is a very bad shooter.
So maybe I should of started a thread asking what do I get these two girls to do, but that would of invited the idiots in.
