    Search How do I get into porn, what do I need to know?

    I've been camming for the last few months full time and have had so much fun and been pretty successful, making an in come unlike anything else I've made before. I plan to continue camming and I want to start making porn videos on the side to make more money and further publicize my cam name. I am aware of the ugly side of porn and the reality of what I will be doing, but want to avoid anything unsafe.

    I really want to make naturalistic/female friendly/bdsm porn. I don't want to be treated violently, spat on (although I'd happily dish out these things), and can't deepthroat or do anal. I also am hairy with shaved legs and underarms - my lady forest is my selling point on cam and I wouldn't be willing to get rid of it. I am very aware that there are no pubes in porn, so am looking to fit a niche I guess. I've heard that a good rule to stick by is don't do anything on camera you wouldn't do in real life.

    Are there any reputable UK based porn companies that would fit my bill? If so could I have some details on how to contact them? I have been accepted for an audition by one company but they want me to do an unpaid test shoot first and this doesn't seem quite right - I don't want to work for free so I'm stalling- is this common practice?

    I don't work in porn, so I won't attempt to give you specific advice (though lots of advice on SW is relevant to all sex workers, regardless of where in the industry we work).

    I do, however, recommend that you read Jenna Jameson's autobiography (http://www.amazon.com/Make-Love-Like...6513924&sr=8-1). The industry is completely different now compared to when she started, but a lot of her advice (and pitfalls) remain relevant.

    I do not feel like it would be best to give you my advice either when I don't know crap about the porn industry lol, but I would say run away from the unpaid test shoot. I would not trust that myself to be honest.


    You can try to message JustKota on Twitter. I know she started out as a very successful webcam girl and she eventually got into porn. I did not talk to her personally but there are articles where she talks about how she got into porn too.

    Again, I do not know her personally. I just used to follow her on Twitter.

    Watch the NetFlik's documentary called " Hot Girls Wanted" directed by Rashida Jones, I believe it is quite realistic about what's going on right now in Porn. If you don't have Netflix try to find it online, supposedly the porn industry was threatened by its release.

    I don't work in porn and never did in the past, so I cannot give any advice on that personally, but I would NOT do an unpaid shoot, that sounds scary and sends up red flags.

    You might want to look up posts by sam36g-I know she has done work for bangbros, and she has posted a LOT of spot on advice for girls. She has written good stuff about watching out for "directors" taking advantage and having realistic expectations of this industry (ie its not the quick easy money everyone thinks it is). I know based on what I read in the past that doing anal is pretty much expected these days if you want a lasting career, but you said you want to do fetish, so I'm not sure how you would go about getting into that.

    And I second what charlie61 wrote about reading Jameson's bio.

    I've seen it. I love Rashida Jones and it was a very eye opening documentary, but I definitely believe that it is very different to how it is in the UK, in Miami (I think that's where they shot it) the porn is really extreme and the girls live with porn-pimp type figures. Hell, I know a friend of a friend who flew to Miami to do porn and her way of paying rent is having to fuck on demand, whenever the guy who is hosting her wants to. That's fucked up.

    I'm not interested in doing porn if it will compromise my own interests.

    Thanks all for your advice

    Why don't you open a Clips4Sale account and then just shoot with people you know? Or go to conventions like Exxotica and see if you can meet camgirls/boys that you can shoot with for your store. That way you are 100% in control of what you do and how you do it, plus you are more likely to be working with other people who are concerned about safety etc and can intimately tailor the scenes to your and their liking? Also if your clip store is successful, the long term revenue generation can be a lot higher than in conventional porn where you get paid for one shoot but then see no royalties on anything after that.

    ^^^100% great suggestion. As I understand it, monetizing as a cam girl is about marketing and controlling your brand and your IP. Porn production is a Wild West right now. You probably have as much marketing power as any of the smaller producers. 10 years ago it was different, but today content distribution is in total disarray.
