Re: Is porn only "worth it" for LOADS of money? Warning - LOOOOONG post!
There is no doubt in my mind that I have NO regrets about what I do... and yes, it's largely because of the money. I'm paid like a lawyer, and I'm building myself up for a great future and early retirement. And all of the so-called stigma that goes along with it is well worth it.
And as I've stated in other threads, I really don't care what other people think about me.. whether that be a stranger, friend, or family. The people who really love me for who I am should be proud that I am making the big bucks and securing my future--and if they aren't, then I don't need them in my life anyway. :)

Many assume that porn stars get residuals. Porn industry misrepresented itself as being glamourous & the girls getting rich. Wrong, porn companies got filthy rich.
Used to be a successful porn girl made $100,000 a year with shoots. Now, most of those companies that did the shoots are gone, bankrupt. Tubesites killed it.
Porn used to pay WAY Better for shoots.
Many fans think we are all super rich. I ask them all the time if these mega porn stars are so rich then how come most of the either hook or cam?
Porn industry like for the average joe to think we all make big money so that it can get brand new girls to take advantage of.
The whole adult industry is trying to figure out how to make money now. Dvds are done. Websites sales are way down due to tubesites & only thing left is camming or hooking. If major porn companies are going under, there is no one to pay out big salaries or build a girl's brand.
But no longer does the porn industry dictate who is popular & who makes money. Girls of any age or size with determination & a good hustle/look or whatever can earn a good living.
15 years ago to get a brand new girl to do a solo shoot paid out $800 to $2000. Now, a girl is lucky to make $100 to $300 for that same shoot.
Ask those same people who think we are all rich if they now watch all their porn on free tubesites?
Smooches,
