Not exactly.
Every Wetlook Producer I know did not start out to make a business. It started with a "passion", not a business model. So many wetlook producers like myself started this way ...
- Was born with an interest in wetlook - Developed as an adult with a passion for wetlook - bought cameras and other video gear - Found a wife or girlfriends who would share my passion - After indulging too much with the wife or girlfriend, they grew bored with my hobby, but I wanted to continue, so - With wife's blessing, decided to start hiring models - grew bored with local settings and locations and wanted to expand and use nicer locations - grew bored with the "methods" of getting models wet (there are only a few) so wanted to get more props and use more expensive methods and locations - with more and more models and better props and locations, things became too expensive to continue as a "hobby". - When the hobby became too expensive, at that point it made sense to share my hobby with other interested fans and therefore recover my expenses to support future projects.
So, making a "business" was the last phase of my evolution, not the first phase.
Those who attempt to start a business from the outset, but lack the inherit passion for the subject matter, are doomed to failure.
If starting a business is your main interest, there are a million things you can do that can produce more income than a wetlook business can. For example, my next door neighbor has a Youtube channel and all she does is promote her channel on Youtube doing the everyday things that she already loves to do.....cooking, knitting, giving advice to retirees, touring around town in her golf cart and doing live-streaming events. She has over 120,000 followers and makes $25,000 per month from her monetized Youtube channel. She recently bought herself a gullwing Tesla X sports car and now she loves to show it off in her driveway, whereas I am still driving my 19 year old Toyota Corolla....ha ha.....so trust me, wetlook is only for people who have a passion for the subject matter and it is not something you want to do purely as a business.
