Like I said in my first post: If it was all about marketing and not so much about * yet another cute face * then EVERY SINGLE girl in Lisghspeed cash would be making as much or more than Tawny's site is, I mean the ppl who * made * tawny the * superstar * can make any other girl the superstar?? right??

WRONG! It is a very even deal.. She is just as much if not more important than the marketing!
Thanks for your input. I will just address some things:

1) What you've been told about the revenue may be incorrect. I'm not saying it is but you prefaced by saying that your 'understanding' was that the site makes $60k per month. Most programs don't volunteer showing their figures and when they do, they often bolster them.

2) So the model's take would be $24 and that would leave $36k for the webmaster(s) cut, and to cover all other associated costs. That's very doable, but I wonder how realistic it is. It'd be curious to know how the site is able to generate enough traffic to be able to gross $60k without affiliates and what the costs of those promos is

3) Not every girl can be a superstar, but a girl with superstar quality can only become a superstar with the proper exposure. There are women walking the streets in every major city that could be super models but aren't. Imagine if they never decided to record Elvis. He would never have been a star even though he had raw talent. No man is an island, yet I would say that Elvis still had more to do with his success than somebody like Tawnee. Elvis performed, did interviews, made key appearances, sang, and wrote. Tawnee is fortunate to have a pretty face...she is told how to pose and who to pose with, how to dress, what makeup to wear, when to do it, what to say. I think that's the difference.
