SAN DIEGO, CA — It’s tempting to think that the only thing that matters when dealing with content is lining up a model and taking decent photos of him or her in action. Such is not the case, as Dave Cummings of DaveCummings.com, Dirty D. of HowIGotRich.com, Rusan “Kroy” Aziani of TwistedCash.com, and Brittany Andrews of NicheBitchNetwork.com explained during Cybernet Expo’s Friday afternoon “Dealing with Content” seminar, moderated by Ron Stewart of ItsYourPorn.com.Andrews and Cummings were able to contribute to the discussion not only as content providers dealing with models but also as performers in their own right. Each pointed out that they had learned a lot about the production end of the business by spending time in front of the camera and noticing how those behind it did or did not understand how to best take care of their needs. Both stars encouraged those working with talent to remember to “treat them properly,” as Cummings politely phrased it. He explained that he works hard to ensure that his starlets feel special and respected. Among the ways he does this is to save a parking space for them, put their name on the room where they will be dressing, and give them as much privacy as they want while changing clothes. Additionally, he emphasized how important it is to not push models to do things they don’t really want to do and to make sure they are promptly and properly paid for their time and effort.

Andrews, who, by virtue of her sex possesses industry insights that none of her worthy co-panelists possess, backed Cumming up by insisting that “little things mean a lot” when dealing with performers, including making sure that they are fed appropriate foods, if catering is involved. For instance, she recommended that producers consider replacing greasy pizza with healthful, waistline and breath-friendly foods such as veggies, fruit and yogurt.

Keeping bathrooms clean plus providing towels, appropriate safer sex supplies and hygiene products such as condoms, lube, and enemas were also cited as contributors to a more professional shoot. Male performers who take the time to keep their pubes and asses well-groomed

Once the proper infrastructure is in place, the search for people to photograph can properly begin. Where to look, of course, is an obvious question. The answers were not always so obvious and varied from panelist to panelist. Dirty D., for instance, has had excellent results simply by relying upon work-of-mouth recommendations. He also occasionally uses online ads, but feels that the former method works well for him because his “goal is for everybody to have a good time and tell their friends.”

Andrews confessed noticing a tendency for models to agree to shoots but never show; something that has motivated her to use talent agencies, where unreliable models are more likely to be held accountable for their behavior. She also makes sure to always have a “Plan B” in case of no-shows.

If a producer is determined to find girls in public places, Cummings recommended that “send two coeds, they’ll have immediate rapport.”

When a reliable model is found, Kroy proposed that they be rewarded if they could refer other responsible workers. “When you hire a girl,” he reminded the assemblage, “you hired every girl she knows.”
