Getting Started In Porn - Part 5: Treat It Like A Business

If you haven't already, you'll want to read Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 , and Part 4 in my Getting Started In Porn series before jumping into Part 5 (this post). Hopefully by now you've made some videos, are used to editing and uploading, and are finding that with each shoot things get a little bit easier. So now let's focus on streamlining, meeting goals, and staying focused with regular video releases. Basically, let's go over how to treat your porn business like an actual business, because it is one! Anyone who's ever run a small business of their own knows that you have to streamline to be efficient. Well, your porn business is no different. This covers everything from pre-planning scenes to storing all of your outfits and toys properly.

Then make more columns called: Edited, Rendered, Backed U...

Getting Started In Porn - Part 3: Lighting

Getting Started In Porn - Part 1

So you want to be a porn star and don't know how to get started? Yea, neither did we. But I researched it a lot and still couldn't find much to go on. That's why I started this blog. So I can share what I've learned and help others along the way (hopefully). Just a month ago we were totally newbies when it comes to porn. A full month later and we're now, well, newbies still! BUT... We now know a LOT more than we did a month ago. This is a big topic so I will break it up into multiple posts. This post, Part 1, will focus on the basics you need to get started. Get A Camera Before you do anything else, get yourself some sort of camera. Yes, this can be your phone for now. Don't waste money on the latest 4K handheld just yet, start with your phone. As the saying goes, the best camera to use is the one you have on you. And that's your phone for now. Already have something better like a GoPro? Great, use it! Look at your GoPro settings and look for the FOV...
