CONTENT PEOPLE... When selling content by the sets....
 

For all you content providers....

When you do a shoot how many pics do you usually take and how many sets do you usually break the shoot down to? Also, how many times do you sell the set before you stop selling it so it doesnt become overused?

Thanks...

Till your hard on dies down, then you turn the cams off :Graucho

Will you quit asking to see my cock? I already told you on ICQ 15 or more times that I am not going to show you.

Anyone who is in the content business out there???

I usually take 150 pix per shoot.

After 50 sales it automaticly is removed from my site. I usually get 2 sets after removing the pix that are unusable.

hope that helps

:thumbsup

cool thanks kosmic....

so out of 150 shots, how many do you throw out. in other words, how many pics do you end up with for each set?

Well it depends on the content provider ofcause!

How many pics:
Well anywhere from 50-200 pr session, after sorting the bad ones out that will leave you maybe 30-150.

Breaking down a set:
we never do that!
1 session 1 set!

If the photographer does not use brokers and has a desent license the set never gets overused.
The set just sells less and less as he/we add new sets that are either better or different.

When the sets get really old some pile them together and sells the content either as discount sets or in large cheap packs.

Tons of ways to do it, so you cant get a 1 answer to this.

Hope that was what you were looking for :winkwink:

I shoot 300 photos at a time, 10 wardrobe changes, and get 25 photos per wardrobe change. I have shot about 150 girls and have 2140+ sets for sale, so I'm not that concerned about overuse. Maybe if I were selling hundreds of sets per week, but with the volume I do divided into the number of sets I sell, I don't worry too much about it. Besides, it's a myth that you can prevent overuse by taking photos off the market. That would be the case if everyone were honorable and dutiably obeyed copyright law. However, once you sell a photo, even to a pay site that buys nothing but exclusive stuff, it leaks out into the newsgroups and photoswap boards pretty quickly anyway. I'm hoping someday there's an effective way to control content, but at this time there isn't. Just buy stuff that's brand new, that's your best defense, but only for a while.

Thanks unseen and loch... thats exactly what i was looking for. :thumbsup

Waitaminute, you mean some people actually respect Copyrights?!?

I shoot up to six sets in a day, often shooting two days in a row. I take 130-170 photos per set. I use 90-120. When I sell them, I sell them all together. Splitting a set up is like selling it twice as many times, in terms of saturation. I only sell each set a maximum of four times, plus use on my own sites, and for promoting them.
