It is odd but Porn made the internet and now it seems the internet is killing Porn.
We miss you Brandon.
I was wondering if a way of monetizing new productions would be pre-subscriptions. For example if Brandon came out with a new line of SpermCocktail, in his old tradition, posted some pix of the star and waited until his profit margin was sold, until he released the flix, if this would help make new stuff.

I think dodgenot is basically describing kickstarter for porn.

It wouldn't work... what if his quota wasn't reached? Are those that paid shit out of luck? Would that person pay back the subscribers who did fork over the money? Probably not...
This isn't a slash at Brandon... but porn companies in general. There are a lot of shady things going on behind the scenes where the customer is fucked over daily. I, for one, would not pay for something from a pornographer in hopes that they deliver "once" it's available. No way... they killed my trust with cross sales, hidden charges, upsells, etc...

I always fronted the costs of anything I did and would not support any other way of producing. If the demand is there, you get to keep going.
I'm grateful for all the past support and appreciate all the great product available.

Thanks Brandon. You have always been an straight arrow in the biz.
But I wonder about demand and costs.
For example, yes you need some legal costs for maintaining records etc,
Pay for health tests, though some dudes would probably volunteer.
Now the cost of couple of hours of shooting and editing can be done for 2 grand at most.
Pay the girl. Uh, I can't figure out how all of this can cost more than 5-8 grand.
Maybe am way off on the numbers and I know people hate to talk about them, but certainly something has happened to the market since you, diabolic, Mike John were doing your best.
Thanks.

The internet enabling piracy and lowering the cost of distribution is what happened along with cheap digital cameras and editing software for one's PC or Mac. Low overhead = low barrier to entry > lots of product > tight margins. Your biggest cost is probably what you pay the girl(s).

I think the KickStarter for porn is a great idea. But I think it would need a director/producer of impeccable integrity who is very unlikely to let his viewers down, who's never put misleading images on the cover, who you just KNOW are going to shoot an actress the way you want her to be shot. Guys like John Stagliano, Jules Jordan, and even Brandon Iron are guys that could pull it off.
What if the reserve amount to do the shoot was really good? What if you could pay the girls more and still make more profit? What if more and better quality girls turned to porn? What if this solved the piracy problem?
I find myself wishing a true A-List director would just try it. Just once to see if it worked.

Brandon....my thinking is to shoot a series of 3 vids at a time. Its a 3 part trilogy, not one film with 5 scenes in it and 5 girls. Lets call the first trilogy Captured Cheerleaders....and its Tory Lane as the college cheerleader coach, with Amy Brooke and Bailey Blue as the cheerleaders..... and they are gangbanged, girl on girl, 2 on 1----a bunch of guys holds them hostage is the premise ....just a series of wild events.....but the girls are paid a larger sum than for one vid, but not as much for doing all 3....so they get a different amount for lets say 3 days worth of shooting...and there are 3 girls per trilogy You break even on the first 2 and have pure profit on the 3rd. WE get to see our favorite stars in 3 or 4 or 5 scenes in the trilogy. Whore Camp --- a trilogy where men go to train for blow bangs and gangbangs... With Bonnie Rotten, Veronica Avluv and Ashley Fires.... Blonde Whorehouse.... where 3 blondes challenge to be number one with the guys in the private club--- With Sheena Shaw, Zoey Portland and Rikki Six .... Only 3 girls per film with a loose story to hold it together.

It gets better with only needing 3 or 4 sets.(a house, a boat, a jail cell set). You can do the trilogys in a series also...just refilm scenes with different gals. Heres a good one----"Captured at Sea 1" Tory Lane is a rich mean bitch and has a yacht with 5 guys on board to serve her. Tory does them all in scene one one at a time in a fem dome scene. Out on the water, two girls and their boyfriends boat breaks down. Its bikiki babes Amy Brooke and Bailey Blue. Torys yacht pulls up to help. Tory takes the 2 boyfriends and keeps them locked up and tied for her use only....And the 5 man crew takes turns on the blondes. Great 3 part trilogy. The men love the blondes as they perform day and night, and Tory loses control....so Tory gets the girls and boyfriends to escape, and Tory offers the men a gangbang to regain their loyalty... Then, Captured at sea 2 ---- same story but different cast...... Bonnie Rotten as the mean rich bitch..... Sheena Shaw and Juelz Ventura as the bikini girls. So for captured at sea, you have one set you can use over and over. Same for Cheerleaders or Whore Camp. Id love to see the girls do the different trilogys doing different parts... like later on, for Captured at Sea #5, you poll who do you want to see in the cast..... Hmmmm.. Juelz as the rich bitch and Bonnie and Tory as the bikini girls... youre always finding new girls...(I remember Karina Kay for Bakers Dozen) so get 2 vets and a new girl... might keep everyone happy and the new girl will be an instant star!
