But, as a content guy I have come up against a wall.
My clients want to pay less and less for the same thing so they can keep earning mad cash like it was still 1999. "JOKE"
Other content producers who do inferior work with cheap cameras, shitty lighting, deadwood and ugly (cheap) girls are charging pennies on the dollar these days and getting work 'cause quality has gone out the window.
Of course Bang can afford to pay the girls whatever they want and they do, as an independant shooter I am under contract for a set amount.
My issue comes when it's not in the budget to pay the models high ass rates and I can't even do a shoot so we all loose money. The girls/agents still want huge dollars per scene no matter what my budget is for a shoot.
I recently tried to get some new clients as I had some free time to fill up in a day, when I was told what they wanted to pay me for content and what they are supposedly paying for exclusive content I found that I cannot compete as I pay the girls more than the new clients wanted to pay me for the entire scenes.......... CATCH 19!!!!!
And I am now (recently) POV talent myself so I am on both sides of this!!!!!  |
That sadly is the short sighted attitude of many porn publishers, not just Internet ones. A lot of the DVD industry decided the best way to make more money was to stick more titles on the shelves. And not raise the shooting budget in total. So shooters had to produce more for less. Many magazines decided that sales were down so the best way to cut cost was to buy cheap sets. And you told us the Internet story.
Many of the companies that did this lost their clients trust and then lost them.
Don't worry the money we save on the content we can spend on sending more traffic that converts worse and stays less. Then we can stop buying content all together and just spend even more on marketing.
The magazines we still sell to are the ones who did not adopt that business model.
