My fealings:
-lease galleries - a tough road to make a buck
-exclusive - cash flow, but not big bucks
-custom non-exclusive - someone else pays for you to shoot and make the $$$ long term
-your own websites - make use of the talent and other people paying for content to make long term $$$
- diversify - do a little bit of all of the above

Gregg thank you. Sorry for the delay. My Pc crashed and my back-up wouldn't acept my internet connection. Long story.
Anyhow I totally agree with that advice. We have sites now, as you know and we're looking to go completely exclusive. In doing this we figured we'd also recyle old content into leased a leased product. We have a CMS that can serve it to us for X amount of days then make it available after X amount of days to the plug-in. Even if I only had 5 good size clients leasing I'm making money by offsetting cost. In fact we'll actually limit the plugin to how webmasters we lease to just so the content doesn't saturate the web.
This part I have figured out. And I may or may not sell non-exclusive in the store. Haven't decided.
What I need to figure out is what to charge for exclusive. Like I said I can't see a way to make money and still produce the quality I want. I have a few niche customers wanting to pay 5.00 a minute and it's just impossible, at least for me to do this AND have more then one model, action, props, studio, etc.
It took me a while but I found an excellent cameraman & photographer. As you know there are models all over South Florida and I'm renting a dungeon studio with theme rooms. Of course I'll be directing and scripting.
So tell me what you think is a fair price per scene for niche/fetish/bdsm - I know the laws down here and I'm willing to get a little hardcore.
Also, thank you Gregg for everything. You've been really great through the year plus I've known you.
