Couple of reasons but the main one is look at the price they pay and then think of how many sales we need to make to earn more money.

They want to buy solo girl set and video for around $300 to $400 a time. So a solo girl set is $35, set and video $60. How many sales do I need to make to cover that?

Their argument is some guy in Romania will shoot it for that price, or Shooting Maniac

My argument is if they can't convert my content better than his they should stick with the other guys. However Mutt, Max Candy and especially Tim Turner do shoot very good stuff.

The other reason is they tend to want to own you. Some are actually telling the shooters that you can't shoot the girl for other companies. Seems to me I'm the boss and not them, especially as they pay so low.

I did approach a few companies at the Amsterdam Webmaster Access show and the truth is I could of got the work if I'd cut my prices. I did not and they bought elsewhere.
