Getting into porn.

Hi, I am looking for input about some of the different ways one would go about getting started in the porn industry. I?m 25 and have a healthy appetite for sex. I love anal but at the same time can get hard at the drop of a hat. I like pleasing others as well as my self and would love to be able to make a living at it. Also I feel that it could be of huge benefit in the way of being able to afford some of the surgeries I need. So I guess what I?m looking for here is to get some general info about the business as well as maybe get some Q&A going to help me better understand what I need to do to get the ball rolling.
Thanks in advance.
Samantha

P.S. here?s some pics.

I remember watching an interview with Jenna Jameson awhile back, she said that no need to be able to get hard in any situation as the shoots are hardly private or romantic. But thats hollywood and that was also a few years ago.
I would think setting up a webcam would be a good first step, that would get you both money and exposure.
Have some professional pictures taken, I know swimsuit models ect... send them into studios and agents. You could also put them up to advertise the prevous suggestion
Thats just what I would do, and those ideas are based on ZERO experience or industry knowledge, they just seem like good ideas to me.

Two members of this site, Seanchai and Nikki, run porn sites. You should contact them to ask how to get started. Also try to get contact some people working as models in the business and ask them how they got started and what one should expect when getting into porn.

Honestly you're not my type. However, you have a look a lot of guys like in transsexuals. I think you will do just fine.

Hi Samantha
First of all, you've bags of potential based on those few photos but I want to make you aware of a few realities.
"Making a living" in porn isn't that easy. There simply isn't that much tgirl porn shot in the USA and the girls who seem to be doing better are the ones that approach it on mutliple strategies, yet still they have to work extremely hard to make a decent wage.

A typical shoot would pay between $600-$1000 for a solo scene and $800-$1200 for hardcore, depending on the model and the company. My company which produces more content than any other, would generally only shoot a TS a few times a year across multiple sites. A model such as Kimber, Bailey, Chrissy Snow, Celeste, Carmen Moore or even a stellar new model may get more as would models exclusive to us, but you aren't there (yet?) but even so, it wouldn't add up to that many shoots. The other companies (SMC, Bobs, Strokers, etc.) - there are probably less than 6 companies in the US shooting. So to get even 1-2 shoots a month would be improbable at your stage - and even if you did, that would be on average less $10,000 per year.

So starting your own site to bolster might be the way to go, however in todays market it's MUCH harder than it was a few years ago, yet not impossible. Average girls solo sites might get 100-200 members in their first few years at about $24.95 per month. Yet the costs associated with it (credit card, webmaster, photographer, server, etc.) can really eat into that.

Being a cam girl also would of course increase your dollar and this might be the best part of the strategy, people will pay to see girls they've seen on sites or their own site more than not, we have quite a good cam site at http://tgirl-cams.com which can pay more than Imlive (which it uses as the system) as we bonus the models from the sales we make on it.

So you'd be looking at a lot of work. The top models like Kimber, Yasmin, etc. still escort to support their income - there are others who run their sites and model and make a living, but it's down to you to see where your talents lie.

Now as far as your current look, as I said, you've bags of potential but we'd want to see some breast development and some further feminization I think before we could work with you (if you want real feedback, the hair/makeup need some work). The TS site of the industry isn't one where you can turn up and expect a stylist and makeup artist, you are expected to show yourself in the best way you can, polished and ready.

I look forward to seeing your development and you can get me at admin@grooby.com if you have futher questions.
Thanks
