Affiliates: free content versus own content

[Greenguy]

Can I just ask who's buying/shooting exclusive content to make free sites & galleries?

Seems like a waste of money to do that with exclusive content.

Yeah, I did when I started. It was not too much more expensive, and it is easer to get listed with exclusive content, so I don't consider myself out of pocket. Plus I have since reused the content a lot. But I have not done this for many years because I can buy content a lot cheaper nowadays, so the price difference is greater.

I do exactly that and make great money with it. But it depends on the sponsor. Livecams i.e. and dating sites are kind of hard to promote because they usually don't give away free content. If they do, it is generic, overused crap.

In between shoots I have a model sit there with a keyboard and a webcam for 30 shots or so to make a gallery for a dating or cam site.

Works like a charme .....
