I think the ones that Tina proposes to put on the new website are not the ones on her current MM site.

DUH

There's no need to worry about selling photos across state lines, as the government for now, has decided to stay out of it. 

My suggestion, is to collaborate with a photographer who is already doing this and who you can trust, learn all you can, and then start your own site, after you learn what there is to learn. 

This way, after you start your own site, you can control the money part of it.  I know a lot of photographers who have paid sites, but they never pay the models, telling them, "No one paid to look at your photos".  Of course, the model has no way to verify this, so they end up not making any money, while the photographer pockets all the money for himself.

Best of luck.

Cynic much?

If I had a site that made money, rather than merely having revenue (not that I even have THAT), I'd be happy to pay models.  It makes for a much smoother process, and it's only fair.

But, from what I've read, getting a pay site up and running is hard; making it profitable is VERY hard.

Thanks!

It is easier to have a web site and charge for a membership than selling pictures.

If you actually think selling nude images of yourself, even very "adult" ones will make you any kind of a living... you are sadly mistaken.
I have noticed more than a few "models" from well known amateur adult sites, showing up here on MM trying to make money as non-adult models.

I'll be brutally honest with you here.  While your images are pretty, they're not exactly what I'd call something I'd HAVE to see.

So... if all you're looking to do is be naked and make money, there are a few megasites out there that will supply a space and a template for you to supply them with tons of content.

One's called Southern Charms.  But I don't know what you're really looking to do here.

These sites usually become a lifestyle if you want to actually make any money on them.  And the money isn't THAT good.  Because in general, they only give you 50% of what you actually bring in.  Not a bad racket for the sites.

Funny you mention SC.  I have found no fewer than 4 SC girls show up HERE lately.  I have also worked with girls to produce pages on SC.  There is so much of this type of content on the web thats available for free, that the average SC model is making maybe $100/month for the first year, IF she stays that long.  Most don't...

That's the key question right there.

I have a paysite, and it's a very specific fetish for a very specific audience. My best-selling work is non-nude videos, though I offer both nude & non-nude to appeal to a wider audience. I seldom shoot pictures for that site...people want video.

If you don't know your market, you will fail.

Very few people will pay for adult pictures of "just porn." They want specifics...specifics that they can't find anywhere else. Oh and videos are a must!

MILF as I noted above.

Cougar!

And, yes, Southern Charms

Vince: That's a little rough. Many people would love to see her photos and she wasn't asking for a critique. Female models are not always looking for critiques from male photographers.

What a prick.

Some of us know the market... and some, apparently, don't.

Vince, I still think you're really hot, for in case you wanted an unsolicited photographer's opinion about you.

Doesn't bother me at all. In my business I've been called worse than

There are a number of websites and boards for the adult industry. Mucho information out there.

Be warned that it's a tougher and tougher business, according to industry sources. A simple, solo-girl, membership website is a pretty tough biz now, among other reasons because of the tons of competition and free stuff. Not to mention the endless piracy going on. You may get some useful suggestions in this thread, and specific leads, along with the usual insults and nonsense.

As far as agencies, I doubt that there are any in Minneapolis that specialize in nontraditional, alt, nude, erotic models.

Good luck.

I'm not hands on in the adult industry, much less adult webmastering, so I'm sorry I can't give more specific advice.

Southern charms & Clips/Images4Sale (both of which have been mentioned) are good choices without the huge overhead & hassle of running a site yourself.

You can also do Zivity, but you have to work with Zivity photographers for the most part.

Yes, and clips4sale [videos] has a companion site called images4sale [for stills] - same company.

They are effectively brokers and they front the sales and billing for you on commission.

Start your own website at www.castme.xxx. They have all the tools for creating a membership website. You can charge ppv to view your photosets and take monthly subscriptions. By far the best website to make your own website and make alot of money. I know a few people that make a ton of money charging pay per view and running a membership website.

D.R.,

I know they say , "It's never too late.", but...
