Another awesome post. But a few gaps.

In other words, it's not so much the same girls getting shot over and over again...it's just that they are shooting for EVERYBODY.

And then it's all over the place for free on the tubes and torrents.
You have the effect then the cause. Do you expect a girl studying, working or just unemployed to turn up to be shot by us so we can tell her family she's a porn whore?

If Puma Swede, Sara Jay, Deauxma, Penny Flame, etc., etc. each were only shooting exclusively for ONE site it would be different. But these girls are making a living out of shooting. So when Naughty America says they have a shoot for one of them...that's an easy $1500 for a couple of hours morning work. Then Brazzers calls the next day. Bang Bros the next.

To me, it's short sited on the part of the girls and the companies. There's a lot more money the girls could be making with their own sites if they could stop thinking like strippers for one minute and see the big picture in long term thinking.
A model who thinks long term. Now that's a new one.

Or even a porn business who thinks long term.

This is the major reasons why very few models have sites of their own. Sponsors will not shell out the money it costs to keep them exclusive. Models will sign exclusive contracts, the problem is the model has a guaranteed $1500 a day from Bang Bros, Brazzers and a lot more the offers made for exclusive do not compete. I've had the top sponsors ask me to ask a girls to go exclusive. The offer they made is never enough. As you point out the girls can do loads of work at $1500 a day. Or even drop down to less. 50 x $1500 = $75,000. She might not earn that, but then she would not be one of the girls on every second site.

Same with the companies shooting. There aren't enough "new" girls out there when some of these companies have 20 + websites that need updating weekly. So it all starts to look the same.

Today I ran over 300 new hosted galleries each on ShavedGoat.Com and Grampland.Com. There are thousands and thousands of galleries in the archives. Mostly just those same girls doing the same guys over and over and over.

When you combine that with the fact that EVERY ONE of the scenes is available for absolutely free on tubes and torrents...well, it doesn't work real well.

I'd take Puma Swede for instance...and create a website with "episodes" of her "adventures". And she would shoot for NOBODY except her own site. At least for a couple of years. And her site would be VERY hardcore. And the content would be protected.

That would make money. A lot of money. And you can insert Puma Swedes name for any of the other party/content/stripper girls in Porn Valley. They are all branded...hell almost "over-branded" if that's possible.
This problem could be solved very easily. But it would mean cutting the traffic budget and increasing the content budget.

But you can't make a fucking dime on any of them the way things stand right now.

They are all hot, we love to watch them fuck, and if this was 8 years ago we would all be millionaires just running the hosted galleries on our tgp's.

The approach to this needs to change.
Yes you can if you give affiliates 75% rev share and $100 sign up Sundays.

We made our bed and now we have to lie in it.
