In good and bad times, sex sells [no longer]. If you want to make money working as a porn star, consider introducing yourself to adult studios and talent agencies. They provide regular people with the opportunity to jump into the adult industry and become a professional performer.
However, without the right contacts you have minimal chances to start your career. Read more about the ways to make your porn star dreams a reality, step closer to potential stardom and boost your profits.
How much can you earn?
American porn industry is a close-knit and highly secretive field. Consequently, it is very difficult to get information about the profits in this business. Almost all porn stars sign confidentiality agreements that prohibit them to tell the details of their salaries.
However, as with any other large industry, you can find some insiders who can tell about the peculiarities of their business. First of all, there is no "hourly rate" in the adult industry. Performers are paid on a "per scene" basis without any royalties. The exact amount can vary depending on the following factors:
• The popularity of the performer. As you understand, the salary of Brad Pitt in a Hollywood blockbuster will differ from the salary of a supporting character in an independent movie. The more popular you are the more money you will receive. The mega-stars like Jenna Jameson can earn anywhere from $200,000 to $2 million per year. An average girl will approximately get $500-$1,200 a scene.
• Male or female. Your salary will depend on whether you are male or female. Men are paid less. They rarely make more than $250 - $500 per scene depending on their reliability and popularity.
• The type of scene you are hired for. The more outrageous things you are ready to do the more you will get paid. Typically, you can make about $500 for a typical man/women scene with nothing out of the ordinary. Performing sexual acts that are a bit atypical will boost your salary into the $1000-$1,500 range. Anal sex is more expensive than vaginal, double penetration is more expensive than anal sex, and the more partners in a scene, the more money you will get.
• How will the material be used. You will earn more money for a scene in a full length film than for web-based content.
The other factors in estimating the potential for income in the porn industry include the credibility of the production company, how rare or in demand you are (for example, some companies might be more interested in BBW or shemale performers than in a blond female). Also, first-time performers are paid more.
Typically, porn stars get one-time cash payment or check for their scenes, but the terms of payment may vary depending on the length of the film.
If want to become a porn star, go to the porn studios and introduce yourself. The top adult movies in the world are produced in Los Angeles, California. If you don't live near this porn capital, you have minimal chances to get a job.
Another way to become a professional porn star is to send your resume and high quality images to a reputable talent agency. They will help you get auditions, and conduct negotiations with reputable porn studios. In return for their services, your agent will take from 10% to 20% of your paychecks.
