Adult Film/Starting a BBW Model site.

Expert: - 4/16/2008


Question
I had recently started to build a website for BBW models. I would like to set it
up were the models get a percentage off of the membership fees and I design
and promote there sites.
My questions are: is this the most profitable for both parties? I am graphically
solid with the designing of the site, but how do I add payment options for the
viewers? and how to go about adding new models to the site?

Thanks for your help

Answer
Most models are paid a flat fee for video or photo shoots, but if they're willing to accept a percentage of membership fees, more power to you.  To limit their upside, however, and your downside, you may want to cap their overall payments to a certain amount.

I'm not sure if you're asking a technical question about adding payment options for your users:  do you mean what payment options SHOULD you include, or how to incorporate those into your website?  I cannot answer your question from a technical perspective.

Same comment for adding new models to the site - is that a technical question?
