Quote from: FreakAnimalFinland on November 02, 2023, 10:15:27 AMI was watching one document not that long ago, where model mentioned that way more money is made from selling costume used in the scene, that income from that clip itself. Some obsessed fan pays big money for used clothes etc.
The act of making porn is not the challenge at all, when you got platforms anyone can access, you got gear good enough to film or take photos yourself, you don't apparently need to even leave your apartment. With tens of thousands of women doing just about exactly SAME THING, challenge is how the paying customer find you out of that mass. I was watching other documentary where woman said the actual work is basically being 24/7 in social media, predominantly twitter, communicating with fans and posting tasters and trying to find people who want to pay for content.
I don't know how it is in other countries, but over here, it is curious how much big media promotes onlyfans. For some years, we have had repeated similar stories about how much money someone is making. Huge mainstream promotion of platform and "model". There has been no stories about probably thousands of other women who have read those stories, posted stuff, and realized there is no audience to pay them tens of thousands a month, and due not having any idea about "pornography" or "photography" or "filming", their idea revolves around what everybody else is doing. One more cunt staring at webcam and playing with dildo.. oh yes, success waiting...
I agree completely and very interesting subjects. Based on my own experience and confirmed by acquantances, those who succeed leave their job and become 100% sex workers. I use this term not with the PC meaning but by the fact that they become full time working in sex.
Most succesful one are no goats, they studied the biz, been helped by consultants (who are maybe other performers), create strong links in some sort of community that include producers, directors, content creators and biz influencers who write content for the community (One example is Gustavo Turner from XBiz).
The succesful ones do everything mikko said, run their own OF or similar, use twitch to interact with the younger generation with safer stuff (eg playing videogames in pijama), and are escorts as well. If you go with a good level escort here you pay between 150 and 250. If you go with a porn start you pay MUCH MORE. P0rn is great to boost celebrity and rise prices of performances and they do tours. Most adult stars and OF girls I know also provide that kind of service, often with an alias, but there are forums run by agencies where fan meet to discuss and rate performances where these girls are somewhat outed and indicated. It's manager themselves who often to this in agreement.
They also get hosted in night clubs (at least in switzerland) where they do show and often are available for dates, they keep all the money and only pay rent of the room that often is exchanged for the value of the performance.
My ex back in the days was working for RIV and Cam4, it was the early days, and there were not many doing this. Then there was a big review on a mainstream tv where a girl she was performing with got interviewed and things got wild. For 1/2 years it was cool to do it and also many guys looked for that. She was earning money by 1 to 1 calls, and had some regulars. She was selling clips, pics, underwears and getting gifts (delivered to my PO BOX together with your trades ahaha), doing vocal chats and on request videos pics featuring also other performers (both gals and guys, as well as myself although it was noit my thing) they then were using videos on both profiles. Now it's called content trade. Then she started having dates with some trusted clients, but it's another story. Unfortunately the boyfriend after me exposed her to her legit work partners and parents and was a mess.
