Unless you're trying to sell something to affiliates, why paint a rosy picture?
The same goes for so much here.
We were firstly magazine shooters and even with a list of our clients, a detailed instruction manual on how to shoot a set. Few shooters could produce a set that magazines would buy. Because they didn't have the skill to find fresh new faces, budget to wait for 6 months to see their money start to come back or the people skills to get a model to pose the way so many others did.
So from Suze Randal down to me, we were not going to compete with other shooters.
Now do I tell them it's so easy that anyone can do it and they lose a lot of money. Or worse still they do get in and take some of our business and income?
So why would people want others to come in and encroach on their market?
If it's so easy, they stand to lose money. If on the other hand it's so hard the person being encouraged in stands to lose money.
This is business not a social club or communism where we share our wealth. We are either risking losing money or conning someone into a false sense of security. And letting them risk money.
Every new affiliate doesn't bring 1,000 new porn customers with him. He could take 1,000 away from others. The hard part about being affiliate is getting
enough traffic to make living. I see no sense in sharing it with others who will only take from the pot.
So Sly are you one of the
"lets share our traffic with everyone crew" or
"lets sell something to a newbie crew"?
