So for those setting out to shoot a new niche or starting to shoot porn, here are some tips.
1. If you don't know and love the niche, question why you're shooting it.
If you do then shoot your version of it, to please yourself.
2. If you don't then go and research the niche.
This today is difficult because many search for the wrong sites to justify their abilities. Look at people like Score, market leaders in big tits and have some good teens. Same with Hustler, Evil Angel, Penthouse, etc. In fact anyone who was publishing offline will be a good place to start.
3. Unless you're a professional level trained photographer or like me have years of experience, start out shooting amateur.
Because anything else will expose your weaknesses to your model and audience. Both have a habit of spotting someone who doesn't know what they're doing.
4. Remember what the niche/style is really about to the viewer.
Your idea of what it's about often won't sell unless you really know the niche/style. Those that buy have a fixed idea in their head, long before they look at your samples. you meet that idea or you fail, you will not change their minds with text.
5. You can fool some affiliates and bro lovers some of the time.
But you can't fool the surfers any of the time. Even if you don't get why someone's content or paysite sells. What puts cash on the table is what customers buy. AND customers don't buy bro love. And they don't buy from affiliates who sent traffic based on BS, guesses or bro love. Affiliates will soon discover this in their stats and pockets. Then redirect traffic. Knowing what sells without having to test it with traffic saves time and money.
These rules, with some adjustment, apply to anyone creating a product to sell. It doesn't matter if it's online, in a store or on the street.
But I'm sure many will tell me because it's online the rules are different. AND their site or work is how it should be done. Beware snake oil salesmen.
