What's the most profitable content today, custom exclusive on non exclusive?

Simple question, what's the most profitable content today, custom exclusive on non exclusive?

But in relationship to the people who create it for sale. Not in relation to customers, affiliates or sponsors. No what is the most profitable for the people who shoot it for sale to others?

Last night I was chatting with a custom shooter, he's getting out of the business and taking an office job. His work is fairly good and he did have a lot of clients, from the bottom to the middle, no names. He does have some work I might broker but to be honest sales are down on content and that will not bring in a lot.

The problem is he only has a few scenes from a sponsor who can't afford to pay. After his years shooting that's all he has to fall back on. Considering the price he was paid he never made a lot of money from shooting and now retiring. But you will never know because he will be around and can still shoot at the weekends. His story will sound familiar to many.

We have tons of content and will get through the down turn because of this.
