Hello,
One of my long running fantasies was a potential win/win situation. I would create a clip store in which the sole purpose would give me the opportunity to break even on my fetish activities. You folks that follow my posts know that I have recently been paying for sessions. I am grateful for that opportunity, but as you can imagine it is not cheap.
I have been thinking of ways to either supplement my income, or find a way to bring down the cost of feeding my fetish. I thought about either doing a clip store or a membership site. The goal of this endeavor would be to break even on my tickling desires. However, in order to do that, I would need customers. To get customers, I'd have to produce good content. I'd rate my tickling skills as slightly above average (since I have the fetish, and I've had quite a bit of practice recently).
The areas where my plan falls apart are legion. The biggest hurdle that I can see are filming and editing. In my fantasy, I imagined that I'd set up a fixed camera that I could manipulate to get various angles. If I was tickling a lady's feet, I'd position the camera to show the soles, then move it when I tickled the tops, and so forth. However, lighting would present a problem. Then there is the thorny task of getting my videos at a clip store or something to that effect. Hosting, if I were to set up a membership site.
Sourcing the models would be easier thanks to the one's I have meet thus far. However, the rates for videos would be more expensive than private sessions. Then I thought, what if I just passed the sales clips beyond break even (the selling platform, equipment, editor, model rate - hopefully subsidized since they'd make it back through the royalties from the video they were in, and my time wouldn't be priced in as it is compensated by the ability to tickle them).
Even if the models agreed to such an arrangement (hard to fathom) my time would still be a cost. I have a full-time job, so finding a way to make a viable avenue to break even would be difficult. Not to mention, the low cost of the individual clips would mean I'd have to pump out an average of a clip a day. My fetish is strong, but not that for that amount of reps in a short period.
Assuming many of the pie in the sky fantasy aspects were viable, the edifice would break down by the shear numbers I'd have to produce to hit that break even point. Cheap clips would be nice, but what's to stop them from ending up for free on Pornhub or Youtube?
Then I wonder if a channel might be a better alternative step. However, finding enough advertisers to get it to break even would again be a Gordian's Knot. It doesn't make a lot of sense unless you plan on scaling it to be profitable is the conclusion I've reached. After this mental gymnastics I decided that doing private (unfilmed) sessions as I have been doing, is my best bet.
Anyone dabbled with this or similar fantasies?
Thanks,
K
