    Default Porn?

    Anyone here do any actual videos? What is the average pay per scene and how long is the typical scene? How do you find work do you email companies or do you find it worthwhile to join a modeling agency?

    Hi! I haven't done any but I've been contacted and asked to do some shoots and from my experience, the compensation ranges from around $500 - 1500 depending on how long the video is and the level of hardcore-ness, for lack of a better term. As far as how long the scenes are, it really varies depending on what kind of work you are doing, since porn is an extremely general term and there are lots of subcategories.

    The best way to get started imo would be to email sites directly such as Vivid, Wicked Pictures, Paperstreetmodels, etc. and also check out this site:



    It's a great site with hundreds of job listings for pretty much any adult-related jobs... lingerie print modeling, adult phone jobs, camming jobs, porn jobs, you name it. There are lots of sites that recruit adult models for shoots there. Good luck!

    Luckily (?!) One of the biggest internet porn sites, Bang Bros, is right around the corner from me...a lot of local ladies seem to get started with them (if they make the cut to even get in the door that is...)

    I know not everyone lives in a huge city with a major porn production going on down the street lol but it is definitely worth it to do your research, and Im sure that there has to be a dedicated porn forum with tips and such much like this one.

    For very very sure, the last thing you want is to end up in one of those fake interviews...casting call set ups that are filmed for underground porn sites where there is no job and they dupe a girl into doing scenes is big big business.

    All that being said, my knowledge is limited. Research the heck out of this, and whoever you find to work with is my advise.

    Well I am an hour away from miami and fort lauderdale so that definately helps. I did go for an interview for brazzers/ mofos seems to went well, waiting for a call. Im looking to sign for an agency as well tommorrow. I figure it may be worth it, im sure they will take a small cut but if they can find me work... besides i doubt I will notice the cut as Im sure they are able to negotiate higher if they are a good company, than I would get by myself, plus taking care of aim testing. I am moving away from escorting (waaaay to much heat right now in south fl) and am looking into this to help pay next months bills as I transition back into webcamming full time. So far Streamate has been superb! Just worried that my first check will be after my bills are due on the first.

    do your research. I am all for the adult industry, but i will say that my friendship with an up and coming porn star as well as my fairly recent trip to the AEE and AVNs this year has made me very wary of the porn industry. The industry as a whole has shot itself in the foot a long time ago when they started making things free. And there does seem to be a lot of negative treatment to the girls. i always thought that the negative portrayal of how porn treats women was kind of blown out of proportion (like the claims that most strip clubs pimp out strippers), but from what i saw it is definitely NOT all sunshine, daisies, and sex. You need to have a strong backbone and be very business savvy to really profit in the industry from what i can see.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    Athena (I love your name!) honestly I have been looking into this for a while, unfortunately theres alot of bs associated with it. The biggest problem I have had getting started is sorting out the legitiment offers from the crap ones. I have gone to a meeting and had a recruiter want to have sex with me for the interview and I walked out. Its one thing for it to be a guy for the scene etc but those recruiters arent tested. Alot of bogus offers of 200 per scene or guys just looking to basically cover up prostitution by filming it. Unfortunately thus far its been essentially meeting all those cheapskate guys from cam in person. Fortunately im determined .

    ok thats good.

    it seems to depend on what your goal is. i guess what really surprised me is how broke most of the porn stars seem to be. it seems if your name is well known in porn then unless you have a serious spending problem, you should be pretty wealthy. but i get the feeling that most porn stars make under 200k a yr.

    if your goal is to occasionally shoot scenes to occasionally put a grand or two in the bank then that seems manageable. but for me, the only way i could see pursuing porn was if i was able to spin it into something really profitable where i would have a constant stream of income and a lot of income.

    also, not the authority on this by any stretch, but i am pretty sure that 1500 per scene is quite high unless your name is well known. i am pretty sure that my friend charges around there and she is getting pretty well known, has a good publicist, in the AVNs etc etc.

    i havent done porn though ever so i probably should butt out. i am sure there are lots of girls on here who have who are more knowledgeable than me... i dont want to be putting false info out without a strong disclaimer that i am just a stripper who happens to know some people in the industry.

    To be honest I wouldnt make a career at it, right now Im abit more focused on my camming as it involved no sex. I wouldnt mind a grand here and there though (200k seems unfeasible to me hell a few months back I was waiting tables). Another point is exposure, people see me in the films, then they see me on webcam drives traffic, sm even has a pornstar section. I think it would be awesome exposure if only for a few movies.

    yea i guess thats a big difference for us. im a bit more wary about being on cam-- i have never even webcammed. for me personally, being filmed having sex would be a big step and the fact that videos are essentially permanent would be an even bigger deal. I mean with dancing the customer pays and assuming i am not sneakily video taped, the hour or whatever ends and its over with. but with porn getting paid X$ and then having no control of what happens to the video of me always scared me and made me feel like i would only do it if i chose to go all in and try to make it a very lucrative career where i became super well known. i would actually be much more likely to get involved with escorting than porn as a temporary fix (escorting although it is sex is not permanent).

    but this is obviously a personal choice. and i can definitely see how being a minor porn star would boost your camming income.

    I think thats a really good way of looking at it...if anything the experience, and Im sure it will do a lot for your cam business when you have that to link it to.

    I really have no idea how to go about getting into Bang Bros...I searched and found a few ads and agencies but Im so dubious about what is and isnt legit that I dont want to point you to that. Im going to shoot someone an email and see if shes willing to advise

    If you want to know more about the industry I recently interviewed Sandra London who did do porn and I also interviewed Monica Foster who's done porn films as well. In those interviews they talked about rates and gave some pointers. Sandra specifically mentioned prices based around types of scenes (the range $500-$1500 sounds about right) It might be worth checking out. We're looking to interview more people as well...so hopefully we can help answer some of your questions...

    Good luck!

    I don't know the 'proper' way of getting into the porn film industry, however, I do know that a lot of popular porn actress are represented by LA Direct Models (www.ladirectmodels.com) and they have an audition/casting link on their website where you can apply to be considered for a contract. They are based in LA (obviously lol) but have recently created an east coast sector of the company based in Miami called EC (east coast) Direct Models.

    I don't know how successful online submissions are but its worth giving a shot, especially since they represent a lot of big names.

    You may want to read these two recent articles that are circulating in the industry...

    Whatever you do please be careful!! I've heard stories about girls showing up to set thinking they were just gonna do straight sex then they end up having to do anal and all types of other stuff they didn't sign up for.

    They don't force them to do it, but they say things like if you won't do that then we don't need you today and you won't get paid. If you're desperate they can really take advantage of you. I'm not saying you are, but please be careful. I'd hate to see you have a bad experience.

    I wish I could help you more. Best of luck.

    I recommend getting an agent. They can steer you to the right kind of jobs to make a real career out of it and make sure that you don't end up doing anything that you're not contracted for or don't want to do.

    I'm represented by http://www.alisttalent.com/ and I really like them. Before you do a single scene go in there and ask them what they think you should do since you're new to the industry, etc.

    I don't think I'd work for Bang Bros, some of the stuff they shoot is really gross and rude, they're the ones who do all that, "ha ha, we fucked this slut on the street and told her we'd pay her and kicked her out of the van in a strange neighborhood before we did! Women are all dumb sluts! HA HA!" I hate that shit.

    Amen. I don't know why anyone would want to work with them. Degrading big time. Maybe the pay is good.
