Featuring locals as content: Good/Bad idea? Advice for the ignorant

[Tullian Zombie]

Ok, here it 'tis.

I'm not a content shooter. I am however seriously considering/studying up on getting into content shooting for the "For Women" niche simply because there is a woeful lack of plentiful and exclusive content for those programs. I won't make that much money but damn it, we need more content!

But that's beside the point.

Anyway, I've received several e-mails from local males who want to model for The Smut Lady

I explain to them that I'm just an affiliate and I'm not the one who produces the content.

But I've been thinking...I have access to professional equipment AND professional photographers (who owe me a few favors) so what would be the harm (providing I secure and maintain the proper 2257 paperwork) in featuring local amateur males on The Smut Lady?

Pro: I can claim exclusive male content. Could help increase my traffic.
Con: Might be a bigger pain in the ass than it would be worth. Couldn't make $ from just featuring them.

I've been bitching about the lack of long haired rocker type male models available. This guy sent me this pic the other day almost as an answer to my whining.

Yes, a little rough looking but that's kind of what I've been after. He was a dancer until he injured his knees. He's a biker too.

I just don't know...........

Good/Bad idea?

sadly some good threads get overlooked.. I have noticed the lack of content for this niche as well. I always thought my surfers were 99% male , but when looking through my stats for dating sites it seems i have quite a bit of "female" traffic and on my search engine i often see "porn for women" being searched..

anyways , content is always a good idea.. the 2257 stuff is a little more complicated to protect yourself legally but nothing is easy...

I dunno if its worth it or not, but goddamn the kitty pictures on that site are funny as hell!
