What is the profit Margin for tickling Video Sites

[Dandy Jack]

Why do they have to be pathetic for simply doing what they want to do...(Producers)

I know many people that do things because they want to...

and they care not if they make a profit or not...(example some musicians)

People should be free to do their own thing...

Why do you assume that producers can't get women or regular people

to do things with?

Do you have any evidence to speak of? If so please present it!!!

Dandy Jack!

Derkitzelnkonig,

Reading your comments in this thread I can't help but get the feeling that you think shooting tickling videos and working with models is shameful/wrong, somehow. If so, well, you're entitled to your opinion. But then why do you think it's alright in the case of a producer who manages to make profits? Are you saying that it's ok to do someone dubious, as long as you make money doing it? If you do fetish work with models but your sales aren't good enough to make money, you're a pathetic pervert, but if you do make money doing the exact same thing you're a great guy, is that it? Sorry, but that doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe you think that the more successful producers don't get a kick out of working with models? If so, I believe that's an incorrect assessment.

I very much agree with being free to do their own thing.

You're not following me at all.

I don't see anything wrong with shooting tickling videos. I find it pathetic though that all these randoms pop up and pretend they are a producer with a succeeding business in order to get models to work for them, when in fact their business never are really what the average person would consider successful. So they are clearly only doing it for kicks, but in that case wtf cant they just go out and meet some people social and have fun with them instead of pretending to be something they are not. Does that make sense?

I don't care if the more successful producers get a kick out of it, I would expect a lot of them do, and lucky for them they are more successful and can have an honest reason to hire models.

I also don't care if the unsuccessful ones want to make videos, but portraying themselves to need models so they can sell videos when they know they aren't is lame and just a copout to avoid real interaction, and potential rejection in a social environment.

In a little over three years, I've just about broken even on all my videos. And that may be by just a few dollars. I guess if I could make better videos, I'd increase sales, but I think the profit margin would remain the same, considering how much "trading" and "sharing" takes place. Even my most successful videos barely make more than what they cost me to produce them. Believe it or not, my most successful video is "Lindsey & Tina's 1st Time" and it was also my biggest loss.
But I love hearing from people that they enjoy The TickleShow's Videos. I'll keep making them as long as people keep enjoying them.

Hmm... this topic intrigues the business student in me. I can see the frustrations associated with the very short product life-cycle of each clip (finicky viewers, piracy, etc.). As I know there are buyer frustrations associated with digital rights management (which I have experienced, personally--not with THIS media, but with an e-book that I could not view on anything other than my Kindle, but I digress.), it would seem there is a profitable business venture in finding a solution to the dilemma of selling access to this type of content without the risk of the product being stolen and distributed. I can see why many producers have resorted to subscription services for access to content, but that brings the burden of constant updates and fresh content, before buyers get bored and decide to unsubscribe. How does one address the one-time buyers who have no desire to feel "committed" to a subscription service? I think even trial subscriptions have a bit of a commitment stigma attached, but that's just my personal feelings. I could be wrong. To an extent, I like the Cloud setup that Amazon uses, but for a ginormous digital retailer like Amazon, they can DO that. What about the little guys? A solution to this dilemma could also provide potential solutions to ALL other versions of electronic media--movies, music, games, etc.

Does anyone have any recommendations or ideas?

 

[Dandy Jack]

I actually thought that someone would say that they have great profits and that they will sell for

a ten times multiple of their reasonable cash flow.

I'm working on an indie film right now that does just that! The incorporating of tickling into a mainstream movie, that is, and a lot of it!

 

[hlkkln]

I wonder how much the ticklees take for a video of 10 minutes for exemple?

 

[SoleMates]

I've made a whopping $7.10 this month.

Just sayin'.

It varies. Models charge anywhere from $40 an hour to over several hundred. The most expensive one that ever approached me wanted upwards of $2500 for a two hour shoot. I said no.

If it's an indie film, then by its very definition it cannot be mainstream.

Personally, I enjoy working with models even though I'm losing money. Pissing off derkookykomplainenizer is just bonus. That said, though, it does make it tougher to want to bother when there's no money to be had and the bitching from the forums just. doesn't. stop. I may just call it quits come January unless something huge comes my way in the interim... but I did start dating a hot, ticklish Indian gal recently so that whole "producers have no social skills" theory just doesn't hold any water.

But you're a GWC not a producer.

 

[AdmiralBeatty]

15 to 20 dollars a minute. Approximately 150 to 200 an hour.

 

[SoleMates]

But you're a GWC not a producer.

The professional models I've worked with say otherwise. And I mean that literally, as I commented to one of them that I was "little more than a GWC" and she said "No, you're not. You carry yourself professionally, and you make money off of your work. That makes you a professional."

She's been in this business a long time. I defer to her experience.

 

[AdmiralBeatty]

I don't see one big name model on your site, just a bunch of locals, College girls, escorts and clerks needing extra money. The real models would call you a GWC.

Let the real producers answer here.

 

[AdmiralBeatty]

IIRC Clips4sale takes about 60% though I may be a bit off on that.

 

[SoleMates]

Catalina Siri is a professional print model, as is Ash Plagues, April, Teri, Kiki, and Barbie. Barbie modeled for FM Concepts, Southern Atmospheres (both tickling producers) as well as Moraxian's Game Room, and has a non-fetish resume so long that I nearly shit myself when she showed it to me.

So you can fuck right off.

 

[AdmiralBeatty]

Uh yeah. Hardly big names. Escorts, college girls and clerks a bunch of no names. Name one REAL fetish model who will vouch for you not being a GWC...

 

[SoleMates]

Name one REAL fetish model who will vouch for you not being a GWC...

You should work in construction... your ability to move goalposts is pretty amazing. "Oh, they're not actually models, oh wait, they are? Well, they're not FETISH models... oh wait, they are? Well they're not REAL fetish models because I'VE never heard of them!"

Both Barbie and Ash are real fetish models whether you like it or not, and they provide references when I need them. As do the others.

Aaaanyway, I'll just say two more things before I do something more constructive with my time. You'll notice "real producers" (as defined by His Holiness) stay out of threads like these. Why? 'cause they have better things to do than argue with assholes who resort to insults (and yes, I realize the irony of this statement). The other is that depending on what criteria/goalposts you use... EVERY producer is a GWC, with the exception of the one or two studios that can afford to not shoot in their apartment and/or basement. Although, doesn't Tommy use his basement? Hm, guess the top studios are just GWCs as well.

We're all hobbyists. The level of scrutiny, criticism, and bile levied our way is beyond ridiculous given that observation. Private Bailey up there is just one example.

Peace out, y'all. I've gotta get up early for a date with one of those women in my life that doesn't actually exist.

150-200 for an hour of tickling? It is Extremely cheap... i understand that models are not ticklish or somehow ticklers do fake touches otherwise it would not be possible to convince a ticklish girl for such a torture

That's not true. I've been to gatherings where women did scenes for an hour, easily, and they weren't faking it. 'cause, y'know, why go to a gathering if you're gonna fake it?

It's not a solid hour of non-stop tickling, you give 'em breaks between sets.

Anyway it is too low... 150 usd for one hour i would easily accept to play as tickler and to pay the cost of ticklee if i were in us

 

[KaBand]

Id say this isnt worth it by todays standards based on what others have said.
This also means a decline if quality for all of us.

No that equates to 10 to 15 minutes of tickling. You pay them while you are setting up, doing make up. Usually a good rule, for every 10 to 15 minutes of time you see on video takes an hour to create.

You're infuriated by "GWC"s aren't you?

Riddle me this, dipshit, what if college girls are hotter than "the real models"? What if thats what i like? What if "the real producers" have this weird problem of getting stagnant and shitty after awhile?

Now this has me curious as fuck, like you have some sort of experience. I'd love to hear about your firsthand accounts, and not just "Well I just know how it's supposed to be done!" ramblings.

 

[AdmiralBeatty]

Comfort Eagle. Iagree. I'm simply pointing out in professional terms he is a GWC. He took offense, that is his issue. When discussing profit margins let producers tell us, not GWCs.

 

[AdmiralBeatty]

Having tickled lots of college girls I know they are great fun. Clerks too!
