Yes "I Shot". During 2005 "I shot".
When most of you guys were scrambling for work from anyone who would pay a few bucks I was able to sit back and watch you while taking money from my work for the last 15 years. And shoot a bit for mags. Yes magazines are definitely going down, not dead yet and still a few buy. At far more than you'll ever get for Internet content.
AND they buy non exclusive. Which means we can still take money.

And even a little bit here.

Even C4S brings in a few bucks.
As for the idea I don't know how the custom content game works. I know exactly how it works. You work for a day, for a lot less than magazines pay and at the end of the day you own nothing or if you're able to squeeze in a set you get something for free off the sponsors bucks. Overall Sponsors pay poorly. ATK wanted shooters to do 10 sets or 5 sets and videos for $1500. Not just me but loads of shooters, both here in Europe and in the US. Do you remember the scandal when they weren't paying the shooters, not one but a lot. They then agreed to pay them in installments. AFTER IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE BOARDS FOR EXPOSURE. Great company to have in your sig, where's your site?
If you are as good as you think you would be working for magazines. Here's a link to what's left.

You see how clueless you are about the business. You can shoot one set and sell the same set to country after country. If the set fits the magazines style. You really need to do some research before you post.
The level of what a magazine demands is far higher than what the Internet does. Even Dean has said that the main thing today is getting all shot within the budget.
