It’s been a while since I’ve started a thread. This has been on my mind a lot and I thought I’d open up a discussion on content.
We realize the necessity to shoot exclusive content for our sites. Especially being in the niches we are, we find good quality content harder and harder to find. In order to retain our customers and convert we have to really dial into the mindset of our subscriber.
In order to offset cost we have been working on a plug-in to offer to webmasters, however I wonder what the future holds for plug-ins if everyone is moving towards exclusive content. Do you think webmaster will still want leased galleries and plug-ins? I believe that we will still use them because it’s just yet another bonus we offer our subscriber. What are your thoughts?
I’d also like to get some feed back from those of you who purchase exclusive content from producers. We’ve been approached by a few companies that want to buy exclusive content from us but I don’t see where its’ profitable based on the money they want to pay. When you factor in studio cost, cameraman (or at least a good one) models, production, etc. OH then you have to factor in the wasted time, breaks and people all showing up on time. Lol
So those of you purchasing exclusive video and stills, what do you pay & what is that based on?
Or those of you that shoot exclusive what do you charge?
We don’t want to go into full blown daily production. I would like enough clients to offset expenses, make a profit and shoot quality content for myself and clients.
Oh one last thing… how many shoot content in-house? MikeAI I know you do but don’t you also use producers?
Thanks everyone. I look forward to seeing you again.
