Hey everyone I'm looking to get into shooting my own original content. Would love to know if I'm headed in the right direction with this or not from those of you on here with tons more experience than me.
I have about three niche ideas in mind to focus on(not sure which ill decide to go with yet to begin) and about $10,000 in capital im willing to put into this endeavour upfront. I'd like to see the bulk of this $10,000 go towards actually producing content.
I figure I'll need to spend some money on getting a paysite setup with a members area but now a days with all the prebuilt solutions I expect this shouldn't eat too bad into my budget. I have another business that actually makes me money related to graphic design so I can handle the graphics for my site/content myself + editing in the beginning.
My other expense aside from direct content cost will be buying a quality 4K camera and lighting and other things. Lastly some legal costs setting up an entity and getting proccessing hooked up. I see their are 2257 record keeping services out there for like $30/month from the looks of it roughly just from my googling. I already have full Adobe Suite from my other business so have editing software and all that covered.
I figure I would also use OnlyFans + FanCentro as additional ways to monetize the content I produce.
My plan for getting traffic to my site, onlyfans, and fancentro were going to be to upload short versions of the content to all the big tube sites and then use reddit and twitter mainly alongside it to promote my content also on various subreddits and drive traffic.
My main questions are how does my idea of how the process should work from creation to putting actual money in my pocket sound? Free Tube site content + Reddit traffic + Twitter traffic > My Onlyfans/PaySite/Fancentro
How should I go about getting models for the content production. From the sounds of it Craigslist use to work pretty well but this is no longer allowed so that is a dead in the water idea. I see there adult job listing boards so I can of course try those. I figured perhaps reach out to women shooting content for their own onlyfans that are smaller creators and see if they are willing to do a shoot etc. Any other ways anyone is willing to share?
What should I expect to pay when shooting amateur women? I've googled around on this and see numbers varying from $200 to $3000. I've peaked around here on GFY and found also similiarly varying numbers. I'd be referring to producing content with women in the USA that is B/G for context.
Is a startup amount of $10,000 realisitic in shooting amateur B/G scenes with no male talent cost or am I wildly underestimating in 2022 what it takes to get something off the ground costwise.
Appreciate all responses and if anything I've said is totally stupid let me know.
