Porn market

(or, "Capitalizing on your ASSets" ;-)

How much would you need to be paid in order to post naked pictures of yourself on the internet? How much would you be willing to pay to see naked pictures of someone on the internet? There is market opportunity there for a trusted third party broker.

A model posts censored photographs of him or herself and establishes a threshold amount of money at which the uncensored photos will be released. The uncensored photos are deposited with the broker, which also collects money from "donors" interested in viewing the photos, holding the funds until the threshold is reached, at which point the model is paid, and the uncensored photos are publicly posted.

The business model of the broker is to invest the "float" between when the money is collected from the donors to when it is finally released, to the model.

Photographic challenges can be used to establish that the model is in fact the person submitting the photographs.

Donors may withdraw if the model raises the threshold. The model may lower the threshold to immediately "cash in" on the donated funds thus far.

Good idea. I think it would be hard for someone to get much money, though. Someone could get $50 easily, but nothing like $50,000 unless she were a celebrity
