A little background WHY I started this business. My boyfriend of 9 years has duchenne muscular Dystrophy, which is a nueromuscular disease, I tell everyone "he's one of jerrys kids" - its a muscle wasting disease that affects all muscles, voluntary or involuntary, and will eventually kill him. He is 28 now, many don't make it past 25. I wanted to do something for a living that either we could do together even with his lack of ability to move (he is in a power wheelchair and is dependant on others for virtually everything), or something that I could make a decent living with, but not have to be gone all the time. The result was he and I starting a porn studio.

Now onto my rant....

I have been recruiting models for the past several months, shot a few.scenes, made some public appearances with models, all seems good...well its not. Tonight I loose 4 models that I had already had scheduled to film next weekend to Helix, because he offered them more than what I am (by a considerable amount). This is not the first time this has happened, it happened about a month or so ago as well. Then just a little bit ago I lost two more to twinksgethot.com as they offered them more than we were.

My question is how the hell is a small time operation supposed to survive with all these heavy jitters taking us down?
1)Get amateur or guys not really into the modeling scene so others do not know about them. Actually will pay off big time if you find a true hottie and get him to at least do his very first shoot with you or even become exclusive with you.
2)And most importantly, these days you really have to carve out a very UNIQUE niche for yourself..something no one else is doing (or not doing it well..or very little if at all). It might be just a different take with the same type of models (twinks for example), but something that makes your work stand out that models will want to be a part of.
3)If all else fails..get them drunk as hell and start filming!! Just kidding! (Sorta)
