What are you prepared to pay?
This is the problem. A girl who does this wants $2,000 you need to give the guys (five is minimum) $200 each, so modelling costs are $3,000. Can really only do 2 a day, 1 a day is best. Plus ex's, getting it edited, correcting pictures, etc let's call it $,500
No good magazine sales really. The film could be sold as a scene to film people who are very fickle and require quality. But not guaranteed.
Will you pay $7,000 for an exclusive or will 35 webmasters buy it for $200?
We can shoot this any time I'm asked, but this is the problem.
We shoot solo girl set and video, we pay the girl $60, with editing and correcting $200 absolute tops. We sell the set 30 times at $35 and the video/set 15 times at $70, which makes us $2100. This is before the set goes into Bargain Basement at $5-10 each.
We can shoot 5 sets/videos a day.
This is the problem, we can shoot anything and the big wise programs know that to be a cut above they will shoot it themselves and sign up 1,000s of surfers. But the small paysites owner is looking to buy a truck for the price of a bike.
It's all down to costs.
