why so many wannabe content providers - GoFuckYourself.com

Buzz · 01-21-2008, 09:20 AM

I see wannabe content providers popping up every single day

" I'm content provider, I shoot top notch stuff, I'm Hefner's best friend, I've been shooting this for 250 years "

No samples, no references, no clue of why they're here and what's the plan.

Where do they come from?
Is it because pimping is cool?

I guess they have no idea about the condition of todays content biz....

me: "ummmm, yeah...good luck, buddy"

This seems a bit arrogant, really.
Or are you going to tell me that the very first pic you ever took got sold to Playboy?

I bet you started in the gutter just as everyone else.

vidvicious · 01-21-2008, 09:59 AM

if only they knew what are lives were really like .. they'd go back to pimpin sites

You mentioned this in another thread about content or content producers. Would you care to elaborate?

Not arrogance, it's perplexity

The first thing I did when I came to the board (and many others as well) was reading as much as possible and gathering any information I could complie.
When finished, I had a list of possible clients, and a plan to do, unlike the most of wannabes coming here and spamming their asses out, hoping to earn a buck.

Shooting content (and selling it afterwards) is a HARD WORK, that's why I wonder why so many tend to pick this way.

I don't claim to be the best, my content was never sold to Playboy (yet

) , but I produce solid pro-am content and I'm sure I can always find a customers for the stuff I produce.

maybe I did mentioned already - the situation is no good at least for us.Sales are down and we lost 2 big clients for custom stuff due to low USD vs local currancy.
Right now I am working on new face of ACC and will see how it goes on
but situation in content biz is pretty far from what it was - at least for us.Maybe others are still doing great as we did the last 5 years.

Ok, thanks. I remember you mentioned this before and did not understand what you were getting at.
Hope things get better for you

hi want to buy our content

Casa Nova · 01-21-2008, 12:26 PM

I've seen about 2 or 3 pop up this month alone, I guess you're right. & it is very hard work at times selling the content to the people who need it.

sorry we didn't get a chance to hang out in vegas...

I would guess that at least 9 out of 10 new arrivals fail within the first few months. This biz is very competitive, no doubt about it.

thnx man
but for some reason sales dropped down really unussual way - we've just started the production of nonexcl. HD collection so will see.I guess that there is no customer for non excl. now - sponsors provide thier own content + smaller paysites have completaly different problems (tube sites and so).
Will focuse on custom stuff if USD will make it bit higher

That seems to be major problem for most of Euro producers.

Let's pray US won't drop the federal bank-rate even lower
