But what I also know, is that on the B2B production side we did pretty well for more than a decade.
And because of that I was able to leave the porn business and have the funds to invest in a totally new and different business.
Because I wanted to but also because I know that the business is fundamentally changing from the old structure of people like us producing something which is then consumed by many to performers taking their business into their own hands.
Also because many of them realized that being paid peanuts for a handful of scenes which then go all over the place and ruin their lifes is not the way to go anymore.
What you fail to acknowledge, but what everyone else understands, is that just because people like you or me are in decline, it does not mean that the whole industry is shrinking. Because it isn't.
And no, you could not have done what Perfect Gonzo did, neither could we. |
So you did pretty well B2B but we didn't even thought we sold to a much better paying side of B2B!!!
Good site. If we had found someone to handle the webmaster side of the business we would have done a paysite ourselves with content not sold in the content stores. Similar to yours but with teen girls who weren't working for others.
What was it that Perfect Gonzo did that we couldn't? Make harder content, use a different "White" balance, film more intense? No problem and we put together a few quotes for people for people who asked us to, they didn't want to pay for the costs.
As for the industry growing or shrinking, what do you base that on?
Yes models are producing their own content, but that could prove that people like you and I can no afford to give them work because fewer paysites can't afford to produce content. Even if the owner shoots for himself so models have to work for themselves, promote themselves to get the work. How many models make $2,000 a week now?
