$500. $300 up front when we agree, for the content. The $200 balance after, for the posts.
Two halves, doing two different jobs. First we buy from the library you already have, because the site needs something on it and yours is sitting on a drive earning nothing. Then you post — and that is the half that builds you an audience, which is the only reason any of this is worth your time. It is also why most of the money lands before you have made anything new.
What a $500 deal looks like
Around thirty pieces you already have — roughly two videos for every five photos, and please do not get a calculator out. Already shot, already edited, already sitting there.
Two posts a week for six weeks. Library work, new work, whatever you have that morning. Fresh always beats filed. Hotter means fewer pieces. Undressed is worth more, so it takes less of it — cut the count by about a third and we are square. Interactive video, you talking to whoever is watching, is worth the most and is the one we actually want.
Six weeks is the floor, not the finish. The people who do well here are the ones still posting in month four, when there is finally somebody to post at. Keep going and we keep building your audience. Nobody has ever had to talk us into a second deal.
We are flexible about basically all of this
Mix it however you want. We can settle the shape of a deal in about two messages — tell us what you have and what you are up for, and we will come back with something built around that rather than making you fit ours. Long on photos and short on video? Fine. Want to skip the library and just start posting? Also fine, it is a different number. Got an idea we have not thought of? Best outcome of the three.
If we like what you do, we will make it work.
Nobody is grading you
Stop wherever you like. Plenty never go past “fully dressed and getting away with it” and do very nicely, because suggestive done well beats explicit done lazily every time. Nothing here is required and we will never ask twice.
Girl next door is great. Tattooed goth is exactly as great. We are not curating a type, we are curating a tag list — so tag it properly. An untagged photo is a photo in a drawer.
Be cool. Have fun. Get paid.
We are taking you on faith. Post like you mean it and the last $200 goes out without a conversation. Mail it in and you still get paid — we said $500, we will send $500. We do keep a small downgrade button back here, though. It takes no money off you; it takes you off the front page and down the directory, which was the entire point of being here. We trust you. We are just not idiots.
About 60% of a deal can come from work you already have. The rest is you posting. We are not buying a hard drive off you and then never speaking to you again.
No exclusivity. Keep posting everywhere you already post — we would think less of you if you stopped.
If we take more than a week at any point, chase us. That means something went wrong at our end, not yours.
