what does "make" mean? revenue? profit? company? personal? before tax? after tax?
let's say: we have done better in the past on the exclusive stuff, but non-exclusive is doing very well. and i have updates for the next 3 years without having to spend one cent on new productions i don't complain PS: see http://www.gfy.com/fucking-around-and-business-discussion/965354-finally-exgf-packages-video-pics.html ;)

![]() Most content shooters have adapted to the times.
Some have opted to go the webmaster route, others have started shooting for others, some have went from exclusive to non or semi exclusive, and broadened their company base. I have also noticed more providing their content in ready made sites they sell off. |

Production is not down for the handful of really talented producers who consistently do good work. I have been in the biz since 1991 and an award winning porn director since 1993. Last year, 2009, was my best & busiest year ever and 2010 is shaping up to be even more so. It's taken me a long time to build my reputation and skills to this point and create a style and train my crew and develop resources to deliver quality work with fresh American girls from teens to MILFs. I am working hard and smart and making the most of every opportunity from filming exclusive content for some of the biggest affiliate programs and DVD movies for porn studios, plus licensing non-exclusive Ex-GF style amateur content, and monetizing my own content on a few web sites and clip stores, and with studio residuals from DVD sales and VOD, and other avenues. Plus I do special projects like interactive flash applications & informercials and instructional DVDs for adult and mainstream companies looking for R rated entertainment. I even do some webmastering and have some affiliate income, plus consult & do post production work for clients looking to bridge the offline and online adult business world or for startups getting into the adult business.

What exactly do you mean by Content Shooter, someone that only produces for others? As Robbie mentioned there's producers that make that or much more producing for themselves.
See sig.

I can tell those of you who don't know how things work...The biggest companies like Brazzers, Naughty America, etc. don't buy content. They have an in-house crew. A vid cam guy/director/producer and a still camera guy, and the assorted monkeys that do the grunt work (why on earth they spend money on a PM and a "lighting and sound guy" is beyond me...in reality ONE person can take the stills and do vid and no need for the extra guys or girls) And that in-house crew shoots 3 to 4 scenes a day 5 days a week and they are on salary. And that salary ain't nowhere near 10 grand a month. Then there are guys like Jim Gunn out there shooting content. I have no idea what he makes or who his clients are so I don't presume to speak for him. I'm sure times are tougher now than before piracy happened. If for nothing else because there aren't as many clients now with the budgets they had before. Does he make ten grand a month at this moment in time? I don't know. In his business maintaining a steady income is tough. It's a buyers market right now. But for all I know he just might be making a lot more than that. He's been around a while. And the longer you're around, the more tricks you learn to survive. |

Was making that easily 2/3 years ago. With the demise of the magazine market and our health problems it's been cut back but still making $10k a month from content.

That's really not much.
I stopped selling scenes as of last year but 10k would be 5 - 6 scenes (shot in Asia - not the USA or EU). We were shooting 2 - 3 scenes a day. Of course that was a year ago and I've since stopped selling content, but even with the current market that could still be made with ease. Even with companies dying, many will still pay up for exclusive or hard to get content and those who do need to lower their price can find someone else to take the risk. But, even if you sold cheaper, you could still make that within a week if you wanted to. The trick is having content people want. It doesn't have to be "the best" or in HD, it just has to sell. ![]() |

My stuff is exclusive, as are my models. not making 10k per month. Shit guys, if I was, I would leave today and just travel the U.S. shooting fetish shoots and beautiful women. I think with some people, hearing all of this success true or not, just makes us smaller producers just that much more hungry to do our concepts and strive.
Although I would say for the smaller producers, that if we have been in the game 4 years or longer, it's pretty much a labor of love anyway and money, fame, etc, are all just great ends for hard work imho. Adult in 2010 is mos def not for the non motivated sort.

...shit guys, when i started out in 2001, i was shooting girls, pawning my camera to make rent, getting it out in 3 weeks, shooting girls, repeat.
Thank God I don't have to do that for awhile now, only through adversity, will you ever see where the true passions of yourself lies. I am not making a ton, but I am launching, tweaking, building and expanding, listening to advice. I believe and will take the pepsi challenge to anything once my concepts are done. Because I believe I am building the slickest adult directories out there. And energy mos def has power. In the end, there has to be something more to come into this game, you can't do shit that looks like everyone elses and expect to make serious $$$. You have to have a passion for perversion, a love for the perverse or both. You have to understand it, see the beauty in it to convert it, period. But when I do make it, I will never be an asshole, always listen to my niche and still strive even more to live vicariously through their eyes ![]()

no it's just for beautifulfeetonline.com and 2 feeder sites I am doing this summer, one foot worship and one pantyhose/nylon. I have thought about it, but waiting for now. I live in my "photostudio", which is actually just a 1400 sq foot room, basically. I am also a makeup artist and so do all of that myself as well as shooting, promoting, etc.

![]() Randy West once told me, "Shoot what you like to jerk off to and your market will find you." Anytime I've strayed from that simple concept, I didn't do as well. When I stick true to that, I make a lot of money. Go figure. |

I only shoot content that appeals to me personally. I do not deviate from it. I have always made money on it. First run on pay sites and clip stores, and later on licensing. Your passion comes through in the end product, and people/consumer will always buy it. Especially in niche markets. |

Nail to head brother. I absolutely love what I shoot. Before I even turn the camera on I pretty much "see" the entire thing from start to finish, know exactly how I'm editing, sound effects I want to use, even the transition effects I'm gonna use. I get excited when I'm shooting. I love it. The creativity, the execution, the final product, and then watching it pay off.

I have noticed a lot of content shooters getting out of the game here in Eastern Europe. Most just can't find the work like they used to and the demise of the magazines. Agents are finding it tough as well.

I mean both.. I guess someone shooting exclusive content for they're paysite of a girl you can't find nowhere like karisweets would make a gwap.
But both, produce for themselves and others...
