Regardless of how slim the chance is that you are wrong, is worth testing. It might just make you even more money.

Testing and optimizing should be high priority in any business.
A top expert tests to hone his results. A guy without a clue, is groping around in the dark. Testing will never replace knowledge.

Exactly what I thought. ThePornTubeGuy's reply was basically BS. Taking 90% of what online porn producer shoot and teaching them to edit. Is like teaching a kid how to cook a sponge using sawdust. Most online porn producers simply don't have the raw goods. They can only cut a 20 minute scene in half and give a Tube more free porn. Teaching them to edit, take time out to edit and submit to a Tube on a promise of traffic.

The problem with the offline DVD people is they rarely talk deals. They want hard facts. Walk onto a stand at a show an offer them $1,000 a scene for the Internet only rights on content over say 4 years old and a load will snap your hand off. In fact some will give someone 5 scenes for that money. But it requires money up front. A lot know what brokering via content providers makes. In fact offer them online only content in exchange for offline and I got a 1 of mine to 5 of theirs deal. I did that with all the hardcore scenes we shot.

Teaching an in house editor is a lot easier, still it requires money.

I was looking at their stats and reading what they say they're doing. It would seem money isn't the problem. not as cheap as getting others to edit and submit for free though. I turned away from that avenue when I saw their contract.
