total noob Q's about selling content - GoFuckYourself.com

Spelvin · 04-26-2009, 04:05 PM

Hey all, basically just wondering what I ought to be doing with my videos once I've shot and edited them. How do I find companies who will buy the rights and where does one post video previews to direct them to? What is a fair price range for amateur material? Solo material? Fetish material? I know there will be few if any short and simple answers to these questions, so any directions to helpful articles would also be appreciated. All I want to do is shoot and edit the material, not manage a website or company anything.
Help this noob out for karmic brownie points!

Too many variables, no easy one size fits all answer.

Hrrm, I knew it! Well let's say I've just shot a scene, where do I look for people who will buy the rights? Should I just come on this message board and announce it, because I don't see many others doing that with much frequency.

Exclusive?
Semi?
Non?
Previously released or not?
Niche or not?
Pix and Video?

See what I am getting at?

Although really I'd like to know about any and all of the above, let's say non-exclusive, not previously released, just video, and niche , for starters, if that can help anyone help me...

Hello fellow chicagoan!

This board is a good place to advertise your content. There are many ads in this "Sell and Buy" forum to give you ideas.

I personally recommend that you do a website to post samples of content for sale.

Good Luck

Spelvin · 05-01-2009, 03:55 PM

Cool, thanks! Any particularly wonderful places I should be putting samples on?

You'd be best off registering your own domain via GoDaddy or another registrar and getting a hosting account (adult friendly obviously) .. then having a designer slap something together to best showcase what you have to offer. No idea on the rest lol but hope that helps.

Hit me up on ICQ.

First ask your self this question, could I teach photography at the college level?

Did I go to college for Photography or Design?

Have I ever sold my photos commercially before?

Do I have a contract lawyer on retainer?

If the answer is no to anyone of these, you have a long way to go as your competition is years beyond you.
