Hi there, So here we go again, another wannabe producer, yawn, yawn.
Anyhow, I'm hoping some kind person out there might like to give me some opinions on selling via content brokers like Great Sex Content and Club Xstream & the like. Im also looking at approaching Redzone, plus selling clips on 'Sell My Clips' or whatever its called. So thats how Im thinking of getting started.
Does that sound like a good way to begin? Im looking at shooting reality/amature threesomes hardcore vid. I was going to try Kinki Kiwi's set up coz I knew him from the club scene - nice relaxed guy - but now I hear he's emigrated.
So in the new year some time I'll book models and a studio (Ive got other leads, but will welcome any recommendations!) and see how it goes.
Does any body have experiences/ opinions they could share regarding such brokers - is it really worth it? Any reliability problems regarding payment e.t.c? Im glad Ive found this forum and Im exploring others so I hope over time Ill get to know to all. Nice to be here.

Its a long hard trawl if you are starting from the ground up these days. Those who have cut their teeth back in the late 90's (ie me) have weathered the changes.

The problem you are up against is that everyone is shooting reality based amateur or variations on the same theme. The only way you will rist to the top is through consistency of your work and produce lots and lots of it.

I wont vouch much for clips4sale but I'm sure you'll pocket a bit of money along the way. Strictly Broadband is an option as well but overall the returns you get may never exceed the outlay you've spent per shoot so its just a question of persevering but if I was to offer any real positive advice. Get your own girls fresh from the apple cart. Shooting all the established models is not entirely productive if you want to stand out from the crowd.

That said. Welcome to the war zone pal! I've been in Nam since 69 and this is my fourth tour of duty man...I love the smell of napalm in the morning...It smells like....Victory.

In the land of the internet. The man with the content...and lots of it, is King.

Mmmm. Thats what Im suspecting. But got to give it a go and keep going, just want to get some foothold and then build from there. In it for the long haul unless its a disaster. Thanks for your input One Eye. Going to look more niche but still reality.Here to learn.
