Sorry if I got this wrong are you selling for these guys so taking a cut of the money?
Yes one of the reasons for our success is that Eva is a very good shooter, not quite up to my level but far more motivated and dedicated than me, and a damn site better than I was after 7 years shooting. Eva allowed me to go about marketing and making sure the programmer built the site properly. Back in 2000 we were two people and two part timers. Me and Eva, then Katka make up and Pavel who built the first site.
Now we are ten and looking to take on another, all because we took the long term route. Long term in that a set of our will sell 5 times in the first 3 months and return $175, set and video $350.
Yes our overheads are a lot more than a single guy working from home, but so is our margin. Very few custom shooters turned up in Amsterdam and I doubt if there will be many in Vegas.
