What's the most profitable content today, custom exclusive on non exclusive?

Did you see that they are selling Lacy stuff as bundles?

I can send you the email if you want to look

All content is profitable ..... its how you package it, market it and sell it :-)

But on a more serious note, times are changing, before exclusive wasnt important...too much 'new' stuff was getting online as it is and consumers couldnt tell....but now, since lots of stuff is online, consumers are getting pickier, smart, experienced already, seen it , done that, jacked off to it...and looking around...so i say, the future of exclusivity is going to start coming back! That will be a important part of production in the future....

Please do. Might come in useful.

shoot your own shit and make your own site, sell scenes to however u want to, whenever you need to and buy cars and condos in cash, keep your overhead low..specialize in a niche, not easy to shoot..take the rest of your savings and put it in gold and world wide currencies..do u need anymore info on how to survive. Hardly any big boys buying exclusive content anymore..so fuck it

Exclusive pulp is still pulp and a lot of sites are suffering because of this. The members don't care if it's exclusive or non exclusive, they care if it gets their dicks hard. And that's it.

But you bring up a good point and as a content provider you will understand this. For a scene to get seen by all the members in a micro niche like hairy pussy it needs a few sales to a few of the top sites that's even assuming you can buy it because few will shoot or sell it non exclusive. For a scene to get seen by all the members in a niche like teens or MILF or big tits it needs to be sold a lot of times. So with sponsors paying from $240 to $500 for a set and a video of a solo girl scene how does that compare to selling it enough times to saturate it?

And of course saturating it means people joined the site in big numbers and the sites buying the content keep buying the content. You can't saturate a scene selling it twice, .

With Boy-Girl we find today it simply does not sell well enough to warrant shooting it for the Net only. With Girl-Girl it can do. Solo will always sell. But at the moment we are not shooting for the content store, the reasons are well known, I might start soon. Eva is getting better. LOL

So if we sell a scene 10 times solo that's $600 and 10 times will never saturate a scene in a niche of 2,000 with 10 sales. Stick on top mobile phone, DVD and magazine sales and the scene is worth a lot more. How does that compare with a buyer paying $1200 for 5 scenes?

I think mixture of both,as surfers cares about niche but they also cares about amount

And price

Too many different variables in the equation. Simply said, content producers of today will have to learn marketing.

To stay alive, sell some of their own stuff for themselves. Licenses will change to more of a semi-exclusive as most programs are not wanting to pay exclusive rates. They want exclusive, or semi exclusive content, but they do not want to pay for it. Their 'promise' is all they would like to offer you in return to hold out.

But friends is friends... This is business. Promises do not pay the bills or put food on the table.

i have some special requests, will contact you this week. Nice work.

I would say it has more to do with the NICHE of the content than anything.

Shoot niche and shoot it RIGHT and you'll have gold

There's just too much vanilla porn out there, period. I don't see how exclusive girls or content is that much better unless the model is a serious dime.

I've been looking for fetish content, GOOD niche content, and there really is very little out there it seems.

Start changing your license terms or think about licensing DVD titles at $5 because that's the future... in fact, it's already happening.

Exclusive is ok, but when I buy exclusive I want full rights. With full I mean phone, tv, paper, tube, give it completely for free, share it on p2p and torrents, or resell it if I want to. Absolutely no restrictions.

It's very simple, if I make money with your product I will buy it.

As are things now with stupid licenses it's almost non profitable to buy exclusive except for very specific niches. Change your license terms and you will get lots of more work to do.

Last time I requested formally exclusive quote from a producer the license terms were something like "It's exclusive for you, but you cannot put that it was produced by your company, you can only use it on internet and you can not watermark it". The price was practically the same that we could get by doing it ourselves hiring the place to film, models and camera equipment and staff.
We ended producing the content inhouse... The final bill was even cheaper than hiring that content producer. We sold it to local TVs, satellite channels, paper publications and local mobile phone companies. It has still not hit the internet and it's already profitable... enough to not even bother to release that content on Internet.

I have it more than clear... producing the content inhouse costs practically the same as hiring exclusive producer. The exclusive producer just saves me a couple of hours organizing everything on my side. If the exclusive producer doesn't give me full rights the way I want them, then my company will not hire his services.

i am actually quite happy that from day one on we always shot stuff for ourselves. if we would depend on exclusive productions only - like many other producers - this would be hard times for sure. although we still shoot a lot, just not for the US market.

we always had a long term plan and despite some adjustments here and there it's still intact

Absolutely, this is the way to go. All you need is a few thousand dollars for the equipment.

Then access to girls good enough and willing to work. A site should be possible with 5 to 10 days shooting.

Knowledge of the niche is essential as you point out and the ability to shoot porn that will sell in 2008.

No worries I think it can be done for around $5,000 to $10,000 plus the cost of the site, marketing and the work involved. Good idea and as I said very possible.

Can't market something you don't have.

It's tough to change the way you operate in 2008. Those who shot 100% exclusive for others have nothing to fall back on. As you said promises do not pay the bills.
