The latest video with Vonka, Have You Got Something To Hide, has been out for about a week and has only sold one copy. In contrast, recycled videos from years ago have sold quite well over the same period. It does encourage me to not produce much in the way of new content. Indeed, I should avoid making new content that is not the result of a custom.
The bondage store sales overall are now only 25% of Bound2Burst store sales. Not a good sign.

There is another aspect to this but his Vonka' selling these days. I don't want to sound cruel here but i feel it's a good point to mention while we are on this. Would that video have sold more say if Jasmine' had done it food for thought.

On a sort of related note, would anyone be interested in splitting the cost of a Mura custom with me? Is splitting the cost of a custom even still allowed (@Dave)? An idea I've been considering is something along the lines of bringing back The Binder or The Binder's Apprentice type of story line. I've got more ideas fleshed out, but I don't want to dump them all here unless someone actually might be interested.

It's not cruel. I think it's mainly that you want to see Jasmine in everything. I have joked in the past that we should create a jasmine-st-james.com website which would probably satisfy all your needs
While Vonka is less of a looker than Jasmine, in my opinion, I also keep in mind that there are many different tastes out there, and I don't want to select models purely on the basis of what I might choose for myself. I was just surprised that a video containing on screen tying, several bondage positions and plenty of struggling attracted no interest. To be fair, things sell better on Clips4Sale, although even there, the numbers are not great for new videos, while spruced up old ones often sell better. I'm sure the greater variety of models from the past helps, but unfortunately, that's something I can no longer reproduce. For example, I have approached three models this year and not one has even responded. Times have changed.

Thanks i didn't mean it to sound to hard and slap me down anytime if i do go to far please. However i did think Vonka's[ outfit in the video looked great and that's important to me with the models what their wearing at the time. There was a recent Jasmine video posted which i totally ignored the self bondage handcuff one. Because i think this theme as been explored once to often and with Jasmine' For me it takes away the capture of the damsel herself if you get my drift.

Naturally you only respond to what you want to see. This one was actually a custom by someone who wanted me to reproduce an earlier video she did, almost beat for beat. Unfortunately, many people who order customs want to see the same thing again and again. Eventually, I have to draw a line or everything would look the same all the time.
