I had it easy, once I crossed the line of learning how to do it and making a profit from shooting content. All I needed to do was find a fresh pretty face. Today you need so much more. Yet;

Today content is churned out on a conveyor belt and much of it is pretty mediocre. And some of the girls have nothing to offer other than a pretty face. Yet when traffic hits a site nothing matters but that sites ability to convert traffic. Our income depends on it, unless you like throwing traffic at a site that doesn't convert.

Marketing is often telling the customer horse meat tastes like prime steak. After a while the consumer gets wise and depends on the strength of the content and not the words. Then a special girl comes into her own.

Think about a site that converted 50% better and retained 50% longer. Special content does that.
