Sabufan: The selling of video as content is a very good way to improve your overall bottom line, and to help create a "brand" for your product. Imagine for example a fetish site plug-in featuring the "exclusive Sabuvision upskirt videos"... offer your plug in with a retail upsell, and away you go. Suddenly you have exposure up the ass.
Selling older material as straight content (vid clips, stills, etc) is another way to bring more income for your material. This money can be the (near) pure profit on top of a break even video project... maybe sell semi-exclusive 10 sets per video 1 year after it is "released", and don't include all of the material, just enough parts to make it work out. 10 sets even at $100 each is an extra 1k income for each video, which can greatly change the overall profit outlook. As semi exclusive, you should be able to bring in a bit more. You might want to farm the actual sales out to someone else, and give up some of the income - but you will still be getting money for nothing, if you know what I mean.
Finally, making distriubtion deals with fetish oriented distribution labels might also help - but they are rare and usually not moving enough product to make the real big dollars.
It's all about identifying all the different potential income sources, and not getting yourself trapped in a single low turnover revenue stream. Direct marketting is the donkey work of video sales, you are really doing this the hardest way possible, IMHO.
