The problem is simple. For a magazine set we can earn $1,000 to $4,000 for an Internet set few go over the $2,000.
For magazine we only have to shoot and submit it to them, they are not interested in BS, whether I'm a "Pimpin Playa" what ever that is, or anything else. They only care if my content is legal and will sell their magazine. They buy 10 sets they do not ask for a discount. They value content, they make $millions.
For the Internet most of our sets will make less than $1,000 in a lifetime. I spend hours on the boards promoting us, have to go to shows to keep up the promotion and have to compete with clowns who a few years ago were driving taxis for a living.
Some of the content buyers see us as a pain in the arse, a necesary evil, only buy on the price of the image or the discount they get, could not tell a good picture from a bad one. Whether this is the buying motives of the people they are selling too is another matter, I doubt if "members" buy a wank on any of these criteria.
So look at some of my fellow competitors. Guys selling on cost and content that abuses women, content that is thrown out as fast as they can, a lot boast about the number of pictures on their site, not a bouth the quality.
I see a lot of "Hot Girl" threads, a girl who is at best cute. Girls who may be naked and showing their pussies, but also showing they have little intention of using it to fuck someone. Porn in the mind of the buyer is stimulation for a fantasy, a lot of content does not stimulate anything.
But some buyers insist it does not matter, so long as you throw enough traffic at it. Well try throwing traffic at good porn bought on the same motives as your customers and you might se yourself earning more money.
