Lately, especially since I really caught my "niche" with erotic modeling and bodyrubs I've had friends wanting to know how to make "Adult Biz" money. Huge payouts, little time, minimal work. Just show up and be cute and get paid...right?
*shakes head*
Everything, webcamming, modeling, stripping, escorting, etc is like starting a new business. You must advertise it, work hard at it - and yes, your inital work may be completely uncompensated; that's to be expected in almost any situation of self-employment. You will have failures. You will need to invest SOMETHING if your trying to be any sort of "high end" or "luxury" anything.
There are risks. There will always be risks. You cannot demand adult industry income without SOME risk, and SOME amount of sexual work with people, usually men, you have no attraction to whatsoever! I've lost count of the friends I know who want to make a couple grand like I do while offering much, much less.
Honestly, if someone says to you "Here, I'll help you make money. I'll show you my business model. I do X, Y, and Z. For this I charge A, B, and C. I've been doing this for X months/years....."
And you respond "Um, okay but I don't want to do X,Y,Z .... well maybe I'll do X but it would have to be for lots more. And um, I want to make 2x's what you made last week, but in like...3 days. Can u helpz me?
That's RUDE, that's insulting! Adult money starts with adult risks, it always will that will never change. There are risks because this is all taboo. Its naughty, its bad, its what we're not "supposed" to do. If it were not this and there were no risks then there would be no industry.
Understand that you can also do EVERYTHING someone else tells you, but your limited by different looks, markets, and just sheer luck. Yes, I'm sure if your a busty blonde former pornstar you can make an awesome social companion in Las Vegas....but not if you a Ginny Weasly lookalike in Jersey! Listen to and appreciate all advice but understand that any advice is useless unless you can put it in context to your reality. Learn your market.
Desperation does not pay. Selling yourself for $50 on Backpage will not solve your financial woes. Entitled attitude does not pay. You will not post one ad on CL and get a whale of a sugardaddy overnight. Both attract a very twisted and malicious type of man who preys on naive girls.
No one in this industry has their best day every day and even the factors that create a "best day" are sometimes completely out of one's control.
- Save money. Tomorrow is never garunteed in adult work.
- Figure out your limits before you step in. Your uncomfortable with all of it? Then don't do it.
- Accept competition.
- There is no price on safety. No one can barter or negotiate that.
- Lots of guys talk about the cash they have. Until its in your hand, they are worthless to you.
- You will need to maintain yourself and invest in your work
The most important aspect is hard to really put into words but its something I've noticed of all the most successful girls I know who do adult work of any kind:
On the outside, your an angel. A dream girl. You maintain a shapeshifting personality that adjusts to the desires of the target client/customer/viewer. You have no drama, no problems, no flaws. You are feminine perfection and you radiate a welcoming confidence that comes from a place far beneath your makeup.
...on the inside, your calculating, intensely listening, and measure everything from body language to tone of voice. Your hunting, and your prey is always a slow kill. Is it greedy? Decisive? Manipulative? Hell yea...but they'll never know it.
Hard work and luck is the only thing that ever pays and only thing that ever will.
