I'm only doing some blogs right now but have toyed with the idea of starting a site with original content. You guys must be making A LOT of money if you can afford to pay models more than $2,500! I'd probably have to plan on start-up costs of $50K or more just to get enough models to launch a site!

I think a lot of the guys one here are feeding you a line or crap. We pay a first time model $500 for a first shoot. It includes video and stills. If we bring him back, he'll get paid $750 to $1,000 depending on what we want him to do and how much we like him. Seldom do we pay more than $1,500.
