I have been VERY hands on in the managing of my previous sites.. almost to a fault lol Yet another reason I finally decided to stop the cycle where I am putting myself out there on so many personal and physical levels only to have profits going into pockets undeserving.. Of course this is more just a case of working with the "wrong" people and is not judgement on every webmaster out there.. Just a little guard that I have now put up when it comes time to do another site I am ALL for doing whats honest and fair. If you are working hard and helping the site grow then compensation needs and will be given accordingly. I am not ruling out the option of having a "webmaster" just simply saying that I will not allow for another individual to be the "owner" of what is inevitably Mine
I can not find any justification as to why a 2nd or 3rd party should ever own a brand that is 110% based off of my offerings..
As mentioned, my forte without a doubt is Modeling and my ability to interact with a following.. So of course a partner/webmaster/tech team etc etc will be very much needed.. However next time around I will be very selective and very hands on with the process in all aspects. Safe to say I will be handing out contracts to be signed :P
ps.. thanks to those who have given some words of encouragement and offering your generosity! I hope I have not offended any reputable webmasters out there or made it seem as if their talents are unneeded ... Just think its time models start having more control and ownership these days with all that we are putting out there and even at times sacrificing.. I hate seeing so many "dead sites" out there where the model has zero % compensation. Yes these are repercussions to ill decisions made around contract signing time (something i have even fallen victim of once upon a time(s) ).. but I think it needs to change. For models willing to take on more roles other than showing up to photoshoots, options should be given to where there is ownership of a brand that is US !
This option isn't for everyone of course.. but I am ready to do just that.. and I shall ;)
Believe it or not.. we aren't just all pretty faces
