As time passes difficulties seem to always occur regarding fairness of compensation, involvement in the site, willingness to shoot etc. I know there are examples where the model herself runs the site/program but those sites are not very common.

It's almost catch-22, you make the model exclusive and the contract with her ends up being described by her as "indentured servitude". Those who have actually run single model sites for a while will know what I am talking about. You decide to run the model non exclusive and just shoot years of content on the front end and then you have a hard time selling the site because the gal shoots with everyone else.

I like the single model business, its just not something I would push all my chips to the middle over. Anyone who manages a group of models exclusive and manages to keep them all happy gets my respect as this is very difficult.
