The fact that very few if any of the old time shooters have been employed by Site Owners leads to the conclusion that the money on offer wasn't good enough. Even Eva who I and aren't great shooters found that working freelance paid far more than selling our wares outright to people who paid $100s on sets we earned $1,000 on.
We found that selling content on the stores returned more money than selling out right to Site Owners. Work out what selling a set at $35 x10 and a video + set at $60 x 10 makes. Remember when everyone said non exclusive is saturated? That's the game for content producers. To sell 1 scene over and over again.
Anyone with a grain of sense would see we shot 2,000+ sets, 600+ videos in the last 10 years and not shooting 4-5 a day. We shot 2 a day. Plus we had a 3,500 studio. That takes money to fund. Money that comes from sales. Not at $500 for an exclusive solo girl scene.
But BM Bradly, who now has his link to a customer and not his site, knows better. Does he even have a site these days?
Am I alone in going down the non exclusive route and making money?
Only a fool would think that. There are maybe as many as 100 stills shooters, world wide who went the same route. From Suze Randall across to the likes of me. Yes there was that many of us earning our full time living shooting for mags. BM, I'm just 1 of 100 who found a better route than working for someone else for a day. And selling your work outright, whether your self employed or freelance, means you work for someone else if you're a shooter.
Maybe if you had my success you would be full of yourself as well. Or an arrogant bastard like me. 
And it's CHARLY, Not Charley. The spelling was wrong because a French Director got it wrong on the box cover. |
Charley, I know you've been having a hard time with health issues, the wifes accident and biz issues... I wish you and your family nothing but the best, but seriously why don't you stop making a fool out of yourself here at GFY? are you going to end your days like the midget from Fantasy Island, getting drunk, yelling 'fuck you I was a great mag shooter' at GFY on the monitor screen till you drop dead?
there's nothing 'the best I can do' I don't give a fuck about shooting for magazines and never have. and I don't give a fuck about the biz model of licensed content. and actually don't even give a fuck about shooting content other than doing a great job for my clients and paying the bills. don't even really give a fuck about about having a website, but if I ever do, I'll have one and it won't be what you expect.
I came into Internet Content Production after being disabled in 1999 from my TV/Film career and losing EVERYTHING with a daughter in grade school to support... you understand supporting your family don't you? or is that something else I don't get that makes me a fucking clown?
in 2000 I was retrained in computer science HOWEVER I had another disability hit while in school and could not work in the field. with a kid in school and no fucking money and not being a photogrpher I emailed every porn site I could find and asked what they paid for pictures... ATK answered my email in 2000 and put me to work. the first month I made $600, that year I earned over 230K. not bad for a guy that doesn't fucking get it and wasn't a photographer.....
now about you: I see all the webmasters calling you a dumb ass for your 'webmaster posting' and I don't have an opinion because I am not a webmaster... HOWFUCKINGEVER I am a content producer here in porn valley and I can honestly tell you... you have no real idea what the fuck is going on and the way it works out here, at least not more that say the mainstream media does as at anyrate... and I fucking called you on that.
I'm not sure why you think being a mag shooter in the 90's makes you an authority on web mastering and web content production but it doesn't. and hopefully you did make serious $$$ when you had work and hopefully you invested and saved because I'll guarantee you're not making the same income now and you still have the family to support.
so look I'm just here to fuck around and post nasty pictures and read funny shit. what are you here for? to remind us all of how fucking wonderful you used to be? you need to sit down and figure it out because you surley are making a fool out of yourself.
