I get bashed on the boards now and then about our content is crap because we are not HD, nude, girls are not super models or whatever. At the same time, we only make like a 1000% profit on our content. We make our production costs on shoots back from clip sales ALONE in 30-45 days.
Membership, DVD, and anything else is just gravy. We already made out money back and everything else is profit. I am not in this business to be a Dean Capture, or JimGunn or Markham. I am in this business to
MAKE MONEY.
I know my niche through and through. I have shown some friends, who we've had these conversations, forums and message boards where members are talking about what they like in scenes.
Not a single time in all the years. All the boards. All the discussions has lighting, HD, or countless other things that are discussed
endlessly on the boards ever mentioned (cool down Markham, I am not saying they are not important. I am saying knowing your niche trumps the rest).
They, that being the potential customer and target audience, talk about the ACTION. Angles, if they can tell the camera person is into the market/material/niche or not (keep in mind, I am referring mainly to my markets. Not every market in the industry).
All of the one's I listed give me a laugh, and I am sure there are plenty I am missing as well.
11. Sex sells. Adult online is a gold mine.
12. You sit around in your underwear all day and money just rolls in.
...things like that.
