Default $350 for acting in a porn flick?

I just got an email from some guy looking for actors and actresses to star in porn flicks. The pay was a measily $350 per 'episode'.

WTF? You mean people work for that cheap? What about royalties?

for a guy $350 is killer money, barely any guys get that in the industry

for a girl, $350 is VERY low...my wife used to get that just for a handjob

right now if we were to go back to porn valley my wife could get about $1500 per scene

oh, and there are VERY rarely royalties in porn...VERY rarely, like 0.001% of the time someone will offer royalties, and those that offer that never amount to anything and don't sell shit...LOL

fact is, porn dvd's don't sell enough to really offer any royalties, and how would you offer royalties on a internet scene? by download? by site profit? how would you measure you videos popularity over anothers?

That's piss pitiful money for letting millions see your performance.

I thought the top actors made 6 figures easy.

6 figures per year or per scene?

6 figures per year is easy as a female performer...hell, when my wife and I first started we made upwards of $120k in 4 months or so

you have to figure a hard working porn girl makes $1500 a scene and if she puses herself works 2-4 times a week....average 3

that is over $200k a year easy

most girls blow their money VERY fast though...but if you are hot, do a good scene and show up to work with a nice attitude, you can live a nice life fucking on camera

guys are WAY diffferent.....here is a little tidbit for you...you know when you see porn and see a guy blow his load and dribbles out? that isn't because the guy sucks, that is usually because the guys get such low pay that they have to do 2-3 scenes a day sometimes if they can squeeze it in...so, you may have just seen that guys 3rd scene for the day and he is all tapped out...cause when you only make $150-250 a scene, you have to work 5 times as hard as the girls to make decent money

there are a few guys raking in the dough though...some of the more solid performers can get upwards of $600-800 per scene...but they are solid, cute guys that can always get rock hard, cum on cue and never fuck up a scene

and oh yeah.....letting people see our "performance" wasn't any deciding factor in it all

our performance is just sex...and sex isn't this big taboo thing for us...if we were allowed we wouold have sex in on the benches in the mall...it just isn't anything really, just a nice fun act that feels great.

nudity is nothing to us, so the chance to get paid for fucking on camera was a kickass opportunity...hell, we had sex in front of friends for years before we did porn, so why not get upwards of $2000 to do the same exact thing?

$350/scene is chintzy as hell, but plausible if we're talking about fresh girls who has no idea what she COULD be making, nor any idea what kind of money they're making for the company involved. ... Which describes just about all the girls in the alt-porn market.

It still baffles me that they'd work that low unless there's some benefit down the road like they appear on Bang Bus and then do a 'fan' circuit by appearing at bars and parties. I'd bet there must be a secondary market. $350, even $1,500 is like peanuts considering the widespread exposure. Don't think porn is only watched by a few. The only reason you don't hear about Bang Bus and all your other sites in popular culture like songs and tv, movies is because either the names are forbidden or the sites are competition. You'll hear them mentioned soon though for laughs. Kevin Smith's newest movie got real close.

What don't you guys understand? It is the law of supply and demand in full cry. Getting girls to have sex is easy as pie, hence it is not valuable. It is one of your minor costs.

Yeah, getting them to have sex is easy, escaping with your life is another!

I carry extra garlic, silver bullets, holy water, and that stuff you use on zombies in the video games.

They call it 'pussy' for a goooood reason:

All cats have claws.
