Max... I wish I did have the budget to have you work up a bunch of exclusive since I regard you as one of the best. But unfortunately I don't. I have a few of your sets that I got through Casper.
Paul... you turned me down. I think you were pissed because of CSI. Plus I sent you a long email explaining what I wanted. You just wrote back "We don't do Russians." which I thought was a pretty shitty answer. I mean, I signed the email with my real name, XBiz nick, and PM customer nick. Plus... you have told me before that you don't do glamour.
Regarding the costs... there are plenty that will accept a bit less to sell to a steady client. Vladimir offered the sets at about $150 per set exclusive for 75 images per set. I think that is fair. Some models used in Russia get about $25 for the day... so don't kid me on that. And don't say it isn't true because that is what Galitsin is paying. Plus in the States, it is possible to find new talent that will do it just for some content for her portfolio.
I have a few sites... membership sites, forums, blogs, affiliate work. I enjoy the content end of the business more than driving members to membership sites. It's like Casper and Thomas at Greatsexcontent told me - You can make a nice living with content - if you have the right content - which supports what Nydahl said. Of course, if I could produce my own, that would be more profitable... but with folks like Max, Paul and a few others, I will leave that end of the business to others.
