Which content company did a blow out sale and stayed in the business?

That's certainly a sign of that company having financial trouble. Paul rocks!!!

**Nydahl** · 12-11-2004, 07:24 AM

Hey Paul - thats the question I wanted to ask for a long time.
I have never done any blow out and I know that neither you do.Just some short term special offers.

Sometimes it seems it's to get out of the content business and raise funds to start a new project(s).

I've seen some people do the blowout and then launch successful programs.

If the raise cash to start a biger project with more income its fine but the worth of the content the sale go down when it is sold in big amounts for sure

Agreed

Focus Adult is still in business, they left the licensed content biz to shoot custom stuff and I think do some sites in partnership with programs. Cloud 9 Content who had the first and most successful blowout sale has a couple of paysites in partnership with a program and has a DVD distribution deal for his video content.

I don't think that any blow out can bring some special amounts - its some good money I believe but nothing special to biuld the new biz on

Thanks guys. Mutt I'm not so sure that Focus are shooting custom, more like Mike who use to shoot for them is.

What amazes me is how much cash do you need to raise to start new projects? A camera and lights top end is $10,000. how bad do you need to be to not be able to raise $10 with a few specials and then all the money in the world and the best equipment still is not going to turn a guy pointing a camera at a naked girl into a pornographer.

so true.

general rule:

"blowout content" = content that doesn't convert very well

there's a reason it's cheap.

**NaughtyRob** · 12-11-2004, 07:39 PM

I know that the owner of our company bought out 6-7 content sites last year. Maybe they were some of them.

That doesnt seem right, a nice camera, lens, strobe lights, some props maybe a backdrop or two, that would be closer to 25k no?

BTW, that is a QUESTION I know you know a lot more then me.
