That's why I'm just going to shoot content. Screw trying to put together any pay sites. I don't have the time, nor the inclination to sit in front of my computer looking at stats all day. Not to cast aspersions at my contemporaries, I'm just not Webmaster material. The market is already so saturated that I don't think someone such as myself could hope to make any cash running a pay site. I would much rather create original, high quality content for you guys. Let's face it, a lot of so called "Photographers" out there don't give a shit about making a quality product, which in turn affects YOU. Now I understand that certain sites REQUIRE amateur looking pictures, but what thet Hell happened to professionalism? You have to spend money to make money, and doing shoots in some fleabag motel with some girl that just fucking STANDS there looking clueless does not arousal make...

Trust me when I tell you that surfers will just FLY through photo sets like that simply because they are BORING! You have to give your members something different, something that will give them a raging hard-on despite being an amateur shoot, and that my friends is what I am going to provide you. I'm not saying I'm going to revolutionize the industry, I'm not saying I'm going to take over and all of you will stampede to buy my work, I just have certain standards when it comes to Photography that I hope you all will appreciate and would be willing to purchase. I will let my work speak for iself when we are ready to launch and have at least a CD of content for sale. This should happen by the end of October if all goes according to plan.

I do think there is still room in this business for certain types of individuals who have the right combination of intelligence, creativity, imagination and BALLS to make a site that will convert like crazy. There are certain niches out there that still remain virtually untouched, mostly because webmasters are too scared to try anything new for fear that it might (GASP) FAIL! That's where the balls part comes in.

Everyone seems to be happy with what they have and that's great, but if you want to make money in this business, you have to be willing to put your neck on the proverbial chopping block...


Anyway, that's my two cents from a Photographer's point of view.
