What does a content guy need more than a bed and a nice camera? - GoFuckYourself.com

gothweb · 12-03-2002, 06:13 AM

I was just going through my content collection, and realized that more of it is non-goth than goth. Go figure. I also realized that I have more sets available now than I thought-- 70 big sets. Go figure. I also realized that it has been a while since I have had a big sale. ;)

Ideally, I'd like to sell it all, like the "pay off my credit card" sale. FYI, this time I actually want to buy a new camera and pay off the new bed. So, how does this sale work? I have 70 photo sets available, list price is $90 each. That would be $6300 worth of quality content. 50% off would be $3150. However, the bed and the camera come to only about $2750. So, that's the deal. All 70 of the currently available photo sets (remember, each set sells no more than 4 times) on my standard license, for $2750. I will even throw in the next 5 sets that become available (have some sets left to process) so you have 75 large sets available for a new site or whatever. That's just over $35 a set for semi-exclusive quality stuff.

After that, I have 67 more sets available. I will sell that batch of 67 sets, plus the next 8 that become available (again, 75 sets total) for $2750 as well, if anyone is interested.

(We accept payment via PayPal or check, money order, etc. in US$ or UK£, and can do online delivery and/or mail a CD-ROM. Finally, yes, I am flexible, so ICQ me if you want to mess with the deal a bit or whatever.)

Nice deal!

3Xguru · 12-03-2002, 07:07 AM

When I saw the title of the thread I thought you were talking about how to shot content and what you need for that.

I was just looking for a grate resource on my bookmark list.

Daymare · 12-03-2002, 07:16 AM

post some samples

gothweb · 12-03-2002, 07:16 AM

Heh, not quite what I had in mind, but not so far off... ;)

In my opinion, there are only a few things you need to shoot good content.

Nice simple backdrops
Cute models
A reasonable camera
A few good light sources
Creativity

The only one you can't do without is the last one.

Yes, you post a lot, but if I'm going to buy 70 sets, I have to see them first.. and besides, you only usually post Goth chicks.

If you (or anyone else) wants to see some samples, ICQ me and I will set you up with a login so you can see a ton of the photos. In the meantime, I will dig up some samples to share here. (Non-goth stuff, too.)

gothweb · 12-03-2002, 07:26 AM

Like redheads?

gothweb · 12-03-2002, 07:27 AM

Girls with some personality?

gothweb · 12-03-2002, 07:29 AM

Or a little romance?

You missed out one thing that is essential;

SKILL

Without that ingredient they are just another wannabee pornographer. You have it.

Thanks, I appreciate that. You're right, I should have included skill in my list. I guess I tend to roll it in with creativity, because of the way I work. I am not the technical photographer you are, by a long shot-- I just make it work with what little I know. ;)

Heh. I have some even better pics of Jenny's "personality"... In fact, a couple of the newer (upcoming) sets have her in them, and I made sure to turn her around for plenty of nice shots of her "personality".

Actually I was talking about this article .

Not a bad article.

Edit: (Typical understatement. Paul is a great photographer, and it would behoove most photographers to take his advice seriously.)

gothweb · 12-03-2002, 11:16 AM

No takers?

Yummy. Got proof she's a real readhead?

gothweb · 12-03-2002, 04:56 PM

Heh. Most of the proof is in the member area of my sites, not in free areas... However, this pic should be a good sign.

Need to see more?

Brujah · 12-03-2002, 04:59 PM

And if we wait a month, we can buy it all for $500 probably, according to the substantial price decreases since I purchased. I should've waited a little bit longer, I'd own 10 times the content.

RATBOY · 12-03-2002, 05:00 PM

Man i dunno... Maybe, but these damn cataracts

Huh? Are you upset that I sold my sets to you, then later had a sale? My prices have changed very slowly. Since you bought a chunk of my content, I have reduced my base pricing a whopping $10 per set, added special "everything" pricing, and put the everything deal on sale. Does that really upset you?

If you want a deal on the stuff you don't have yet, just let me know. It was great working with you, one disagreement aside. Plus, I am thankful for your patience in working with me when I was a brand new content provider.

Oh, and... If you wait a month, this content probably won't be around anymore... Not a lot of sales left on most of them, and its four-times only. I am not going to go with bargain-basement prices-- just ask Brad if I am flexible enough to let my stuff go for less than I think it's worth. ;)

gothweb · 12-03-2002, 05:31 PM

Here's an offer for either of the guys who did big sales before I offered the "everything" pricing. I don't want you to feel like you got a bum deal. So, I am happy to sell you all of the remaining available sets at the same per-set rate that this deal breaks down to, $36.67. (Obviously, not as much will be available if you both take the deal.)

gothweb · 12-03-2002, 07:38 PM

Almost forgot... Here's a couple of pics that might help answer your question, Ratboy... I am pretty sure she's a natural redhead.

Bedtime. I will be back on ICQ in the morning if anyone has questions.
