Default Re: $350 for acting in a porn flick?

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?

Ja, I know.

That's why a performer is best if they know how to run their own sites. That way they get the lion's share of the dough instead.

I have webmasters ask me to do toon sites for them every freakin' day. The large magazines also. I don't because I didn't have the time and why do it for other people when I can make the dough myself and offer an affiliate program instead?

One thing about toon performers, you don't gotta pay em'.

actually, starting your own site as a performaer is a horrible idea unless you have the backing from a major studio or net company....the solo girl market is so flooded these days, harder and harder to make a buck, very few are going to survive the next year or two without people like nscash, medium pimpin, porn stardollars, etc in your corner

porn sucks

I disagree to a degree. Depends on the talent, personality, niche, expression. Some models/actors can hold their own because they know what they're doing and they stand out. It's few but still you only need 1,000 members a month recurring to make decent enough dough to set aside. If you're a greedy bastard who wants yachts and shit then you deserve to fall off.

I run a one man operation, did it part, part time and still made more dough than most. My overhead is minimal because I only pay one person, the hosting company. I live a rough life you wouldn't believe and if I told you, you'ld flee for the hills. I can now take time off and just have fun focusing on the sites more.

You're smart. You know what you're doing. You probably don't need a major studio to back you up. I've seen the cookie cutter sites out there that just don't have any pizzazz.

I see the same thing in the video game industry. We design these characters and games and some make it, some don't. It depends on the talent, niche, personality.
