Interesting you mention this.
I recently had the opportunity to speak with a... ahem...
pornographer, and I got the impression that many people got into the biz thinking this would be easy money only to learn creating a quality site takes, you know, work. The shooter AND model have to know what they're doing.
Damn straight it takes work. I've run five paysites myself and learned new things each time I gave it a try. Taking a good picture requires more than "just point the fucking camera and click" y'know.
The money CAN become easiER after a while if the site gets popular and the model has a semblance of a work ethic, does't flake out, doesn't get a jealous boyfriend, or doesn't decide "being a model is too slutty for my virginal personality". You also have to "get down or lay down" with the right marketing venues for traffic (learned the hard way that just posting to TGPs and Topsites ain't gonna cut it!)
Well Ciggy has hit the nail right on the head there.. I'm a full time photographer and recently got into the whole "Model Website" business to create some extra income, and it is a business and in no way can be treated like a hobby..
Many, many hours of shooting and running sites brings little income to start with, but with the right kinda of girls there is $$$ to be made.
Long gone are the days of point and shoot sets posted online once a month for a membership fee, customers today want more than one update per week, webcam shows, videos and some form of contact with the model.
There are very few that make big $$$ online, for a single girl site it takes a very special kind of model whos not only photogenic but also business minded and knows how to market herself to her online audiance.
Sadly after alot of hard work models do bail, fail to show up for content shoots and the usual sh*t..
But if you hook up with the right kind of girl thats a good start..
