Revenue sharing with model.

[Simon]

One suggestion I don't see yet is to make sure you have a TON of content already shot/filmed before you open the site. Some would say you need a year of content to be sure it's worth doing even if your model vanishes on you soon after you open the doors.

Also, if live cam shows are an important part of the marketing approach and a big reason members will remain members, then you need to have some clear guidelines that apply to any ownership and revenue the model is to receive should she decide to stop doing shows (or just quits).

That was also the first thing that crossed my mind when I read the OP's post. A year of site updates in the can, in addition to the content initially loaded to the site for launch.

The second thing I noticed, not much mention about marketing of the site itself, unless that is what was meant by "marketing the products." It's tough to market a solo model site without at least some personal interaction from the model. Unless she's just plain smokin' hot she also needs to have something that sets her apart from the rest of the herd, something to focus that marketing around.

All that said, a 50/50 split is usually the easiest way to keep both parties happy, so long as it's clear who covers what expenses out of their split.

YES, this is VERY important!

And you should control ownership of the domain if at all possible!

Hi, I have made my living for the past 14 years on my own content. Yes there is a lot of content you can purchase. Yet, having some unique and not seen before girls is the key. 50/50 split is more then fair and you also should pick up the tap for all photo shoots. With out the model you have nothing. You should have no less then 1600 photos for the members area and 20 solid videos before you open up sales on the web. Doing no less then 3 shoots a month and updating your members area no less then 3 times a week. That has been my formula and it has work very well. I prefer to have a model contract that makes me the owners of all pic and videos with out question. Get with your attorney on that. I find the average model will last about 6 months. They quite for odd reasons(new boyfriend, pregnant, move, rehab, etc.. Yet 6 months of photo shoots gives me a ton of content to work with far beyond the length of stay..Also rebills are great when you have exclusive rights to that model.
