thinking about joining the porn industry

[dsity]

I have an apartment, a camera, $500 and craigslist. Am I leaving anything out?

An 'in'.

 

[RedArmy]

Paper bags?

$500 ? I doubt anyone would want to sell themselves for $500, especially when you're going to sell that junk.

what you don't like mature porn?

 

[rasczak]

For $500 bux you could probably get two bums to do each other. That's about it. You may have to join them too.

Just common sense, ky, and your lawyer's number on speed dial.

...who brings these things into conversation? I can't picture ever being in a conversation about this stuff.

I was approached by a recruiter for the porn industry a couple of years ago. He offered to pay round trip airfare to CA as well as accommodations. The pay was $5000 for gay porn and $1000 for straight porn. I turned him down though.

So no, you don't have to start out with gay porn, but you'll get paid a hell of a lot more if you do.

Not being mean or overly critical, but I will say some things you may not wish to hear.

For a 500 dollar budget in porn, you might get two scuzzy streetwalkers to play with each other for an hour or two.
Am amazed at how many people think that escorts and porn stars are dirt cheap.
A good quality escort in a medium sized town costs about 300-400 an hour, and thats with no frills.
If you want extra services like being able to film her, or getting her to work with another woman, (or both) thats gonna get real close to a 500 bucks an hour, each girl.
Regular porn stars who dont do escorting usually make a couple grand a day. And I'm not talking about the big names like Jenna Haze or Bella Donna, I'm talking about unknown names. Girls fresh off the bus, making movies with guys who work in their house and use a handheld camcorder.

I recommend OP stay out of the industry or at least start slowly. Go work for someone else and learn about how the game is played.

As what, a fluffer?

 

[zanejohnson]

i actually know a little about this...

your gonna need about 5000 dollars just in licensing to get started, and then 2-3k for girls willing to do nasty stuff like anal and get nutted on on cam...and thats if your producing/directing/printing the DVD's/CD's/Hosting if it's a site by yourself...


but...in the long run you can make some serious cash.

One-eyed midgets would cost more than $500.

Do you have a girlfriend or wife who'd be willing to "help?" Would both of you look good on camera?

There are some couples that do this as a business - have a membership-style website and good quality video and pictures. Some might do live chat, and can take requests to do various things on camera.
Startup costs/considerations:
- A hosting service of some sort that will handle that kind of bandwidth and content.
- Various sex toys.
- A girlfriend/spouse/"partner" who's willing to do this sort of thing on a very regular basis, and who is attractive enough to bring in lots of views.

Dam I thought I was doing something wrong, I don"t charge anything

There are quite a few of these. For example, search for:

Brandibelle
NaughtyAllie
Spring Thomas
NaughtyAtHome (Desirae Spencer)

etc.

They each have their own schtick, so the OP and whichever girl he uses would need to come up with their own style if they want to adopt this methodology.

Hmmm, where do I sign up for some one eyed midget porn? Finally, niche porn I can really enjoy.
