Our "day" consists of about 6 hours siting about, 4 hours "walking and talking" and maybe only 2h of lesbian content. We run VOD site and make feature films. Our revenue is 100% from folks actually buying a movie stream or renting one. We have NO membership. We do not have any other sources. So if we make a shitty movie they do not come in droves,if we make a nice one, they come and buy. Each movie now has about 5 to 7 shooting days, in our own film studios. In the good old days we had the " luxury" of 12 to 14 days.

Thanks for this great info!! For B/G shoots in CZ I would probably add another $300 USD to make it $800 per shoot but not sure what the actual going rates are these days. I will find out in the Autumn.
With your business model it's totally understandable to take six months to recoup (break even). It's great you have such a loyal customer base! Having your own setup in CZ is sweet too. I will reach out when I am there to buy you guys as many pilsners as possible.
So what business model you work from also plays a factor. Most paysites rely mainly on memberships (joins and rebills) but also factor in upsells, cross-sells and ad space.
