    for me it was being a webcam model, then after being a cam girl for a while I go an offer to shoot in boston, then LA and montreal.

    but my life line is being a camgirl. porn has so many levels now, being a phone sex operator you are in the porn biz.

    I was doing reg nude modeling mostly off my OMP profile and was contacted by an adult agent. I thought about it and decided to try it. That was 2 years ago. I have since fired my agent and decided to self book and keep the 15% now that I've been introduced to most of the studios,etc...and built a little bit of a name for myself.

    Just be VERY careful if you decide to go with an agent. There are a LOT of really shitty ones out there who will screw you...either literally or figuratively!

    You can go on thefloatingworld.com and start calling agents until you find one you are comfortable with. You can also PM me with your choices and I can give you any info/opinions I have of them.

    QFT. Sad, but oh so true. Just because an agent says they have a shoot for you, if you aren't comfy you don't have to do it. It is possible to say no to things. Some will also push you to change your limits because well, the more you do the more money they make. I've turned things down and my agent at the time didn't give me any shit. He was one of the rare ones that actually supported my decisions.

    And dammit, may I just say....if you go to a shoot and the person you're working with doesn't have a test...don't do the fucking scene. Seriously. It's just stupid. If they can't be responsible to have a test with them, or to have a current test, do you really want to risk fucking them?

    How much money is possible/probable for girl-girl or just solo girl porn (vid/pics)?

    Sorry I haven't a clue where to check about this stuff and adultstaffing seems sketchy to me.

    I think you only get $200-400 per g/g solo scene. At least I did. Woopdedoo.

    That sucks I always wondered how much you would get. So to make big bucks you pretty much have to do everything.

    Pretty much. But that's the choice you make in life.

    I got like $300 for a solo on my first video with a company i never seen again after that., then I got paid a salary witht he impression I was going to make a website about $80k for a period of 2 years, the website went off wtihout being a part of it so I am not making the long term money.

    a week of shooting now for a new website which seems to be better going on so far I got $1,600 for a week of shooting.

    the most money I have ever made in this business is from doing webcam shows, and creating my own webstie all by myself.

    Plus another thing that is still taboo to talk about in the industry, is that its very racist on what the minorities are paid compared to the majority. which is also a big factor to consider when entering the business.

    I have met a few girls in the business who talk about it and sometimes it makes it a big discouraging to even continue, but they all tell me its best to create my own business from the outside-IN.

    Acceptable rates:

    solo: $300-$500
    g/g: $400-$700
    b/g: $700-$1500
    b/b/g: $900-$2000
    b/g/g: $900-$2000

    It goes on like that...the more you do the more you can get paid. And some companies do pay less then the minimums offered...like Playboy...but the name on your resume can mean a lot.

    Contact [email protected]

    She is a female porn star and always explains the job before she books it. She knows what it is like being a girl in the biz. She doesn't blow smoke up your ass. She will let you know if she doesn't think you will make $ with your current look, attitude, limitations or what ever may be getting in the way. She treats her girls with respect and only expects the same in return.

    Good Luck!

    How many scenes do most beginner porn actresses do a year, assuming they do all of the categories above? Would it be feasible to make a movie once a week? That seems like a lot but otherwise how do you make a somewhat substantial profit. For having your face and vag flashed all over the place less than 100k a year doesn't seem really worth it...

    ^^It depends on who their agent is, what they look like, etc. There are some girls that do EVERYTHING and still can't get work (I know of more than one) and there are girls that don't do anything but regular b/g and g/g and work pretty consistently.

    Well what is considered consistent, I guess is what I'm trying to ask. Like if a normal girl (preferably who is on my level looks wise. Also not some big name chick) said "I make 7/4/2 movies a week" would you be thinking "yha, right. " or is that feasible.

    I'm trying to get an idea of what I could expect to get. I really have no clue what is considered working a lot in the porn world. Like with stripping I would cinder working 5+ days a week a lot, 3 and 4 days a week average, and less than three not very much at all. What would that be in porn terms?

    I was going to LA 2 weeks at a time and shooting about 10 of the 14 days I was there. It was considered a lot. I'll put it this way......I make more money stripping, and I shot 75 scenes in less than a year. Most of those scenes were b/g.

    There will be times when you are shooting 5-10 scenes in a week...and other times when you wont shoot anything for months at a time. It all depends on who is shooting what and how well you are marketed.There is no consistancy in porn

    ahh okay that answers my question! Thanks.

    For some reason I was thinking that it would be rare do have more than one shoot a week. I'm not sure where I came up with that idea.
