It begs this question.

When setting up solo girl sites, should a revshare percentage be the basis for the model/producer relationship?

Or is it better to pay a model a guaranteeed fee under contract then the site owner deals with how and what the sites make. ?

now there are many sides to this question

1.) as a Model what would make you stay in the relationship longer and more productivly?

2.) as a producer do you need the model for a limited time only anyway and feel that revshare gives her too much power?

3.) as a producer do you feel that the best way to keep them involved and happy is to allow a revshare based on performance of the sites revenues?

4.) as a model do you feel that if the site makes money and you were paid a pultry sum ( in comparrison to the revenue the site generated ) how eager will you be to keep in the relationship? or will you look to move on ?

We've done it many different ways.

The easiest and least painful is just pay 'em for the shoots with no taste of the back end. To pull this off, if you catch one with talent and worthy of building a site around, shoot 'em early, shoot 'em often. Take a month or so and get enough content to span the lifetime of the site.

Most girls cant see beyond the cash in hand, so they tend to like this method. If you do a royalty agreement, unless her site is already going where there's a big check coming every month, she'll still want to be paid for the shoot. The girl who will spend much time shooting for "future considerations" is very very rare.

The downside of this method is you get no participation in the site for things like webcams, etc. And also, unless you keep paying her one way or another, it's tough to maintain exclusive rights. You dont wanna spend 6 months marketing her as the girl next door only to find her on some other guys site doing a gang bang and bukkake.

Royalties can incent additional participation, but the girls who have the personality and the smarts to actually do it are rare.

There's a downside to that too. I've got girls that we cut a good check to every month with royalties, but we haven't seen 'em for so much as a shoot let alone any participation in 4-5 years.

With all that said, I'll say that getting in business with models is not for the meek.
