For the past 17 years, our Company has been on a mission to help aspiring adult film performers learn how to become a porn star. As the world’s top-rated talent management Company in porn, we’ve helped countless ladies & guys launch their careers in the industry. This article covers the four-step process of exactly how to become a porn star. You’re also invited to complete your application with us.
How to Become a Porn Star – Step #1 – Commit
Success in any area of life is 100% impossible without commitment. Try making yourself a peanut butter & jelly sandwich without committing to it. You won’t even make it off the couch!
Even something as simple as this requires commitment. You need to physically raise your body off the couch, walk to your kitchen, then remove the bread & other ingredients from their storage places. Grab a knife or whatever utensil(s) you prefer. (I prefer two disposable spoons: one for the peanut butter and the other for the blueberry preserves.) Eventually, you’ll be back on your couch practicing Step #4, enjoying your delicious sandwich with a cold glass of milk & maybe some potato chips as plat d’accompagnement (on the side).
I have some friends that frequently visit Asia, and they’ve done so for many years. Over the years, I regularly threatened to join them on one of their trips. I never went because I hadn’t committed. I never applied for a passport, set aside any money, or committed money to a plane ticket, hotel, etc. Billionaire real estate mogul & success coach Grant Cardone teaches that “a true commitment can’t take place without time & money.” I was merely shit talking.
I recently got back from my first trip to Asia, here shortly “post-Covid,” at a time when there were even more hoops to jump through when traveling. The only difference this time: I’d committed to the cause. Therefore I had very positive results.
Professional adult film (porn) production is a part of the entertainment business. The entertainment industry is the single most competitive legal industry in the world to break into & become successful in. Just think about it! How many hundreds of thousands, yea, millions of aspiring actors, models, musicians & pornstars have packed their bags & headed west to Hollywood over the decades with hopes of stardom & riches? How many horny men have exclaimed, “getting paid to fuck hot chicks would be the bee’s knees… it would be the single best job in the world… I MUST find out how to become a porn star!“?
Now here’s the kicker: how many of those guys are 100% serious about this? Not many! Most guys in the world today would emphatically make the statement, “Getting paid to get laid by hot girls? Sign me up!” But how many are willing to put the rest of their life on hold for this coveted career opportunity? How many are willing to accept the criticism from their family and potential future employers & lovers that this decision will undoubtedly invite? How many are willing to travel, or even relocate, to where the professional porn industry actually is (Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego)? How many are ready to take directions from a stereotypical brash, hairy-chested Hollywood porn director?
For comparison, imagine how many guys & ladies would like to join the UFC. How many are willing to make the sacrifices required & put in the requisite work to make this a reality? Becoming a UFC fighter requires thousands of hours of training, grappling training, striking training, weightlifting, cardio, strength, endurance & conditioning training, nutrition training, starving oneself to make weight for competition, risking & overcoming injuries, skin infections, knockouts, concussions, drug tests, weigh-ins… no time for friends, for a girlfriend or boyfriend, or for any other hobbies.
Becoming a UFC fighter requires years & even decades of training & some serious commitment… but it’s still an easier task than becoming a successful (straight) male pornstar! (Yes, you read that correctly.)
Just imagine: do you think more young men want to join the UFC & get repeatedly punched in the face or get paid to get laid by doing porn? Exactly! Of course, there are MORE guys that want to get PAID to bang cute girls on camera! Did you know that there are MORE new UFC fighters each year (after year, after year) than new male pornstars in the straight porn industry? That’s right! There are more that WANT to do porn, but LESS that actually pull it off.
Now, why is this?
It’s primarily because of commitment. There will be some amount of rejection & adversity to overcome when learning how to become a porn star. It might be great or small, but you are guaranteed to experience some rejection & some hardship on the way to becoming a successful adult film star.
Straight guys that are NOT willing to do gay-for-pay movies: most porn agencies and production companies, regardless of your incredible cock size & stunning good looks, will respond to you sarcastically with something along the lines of, “ooooooooo…. wow… a straight guy that wants us to PAY him to fuck our hot girls on-camera… how original! We definitely don’t hear that 1,000+ times a day! Where have you been all our life? We’ve been waiting just for you, sir!“
Ladies, gay/bi guys & straight guys that ARE willing to do gay-for-pay movies: Although how to become a porn star should be a lot easier for you than it would be if you were a straight male that wasn’t willing to do gay work, you should still brace yourself for some rejection from the industry. Although it might not be as harsh & condescending, you must remember that you’re not the only cute white/black/Asian/Latina girl or twink to join the industry this year, this month… or this week! Any aspect of yourself could arouse interest from some production companies, and the same element could cause immediate disinterest from others. Some producers want only inked-up white girls, while others want white girls with no ink. Some studios shoot exclusively black girls, some only teens. Others shoot only girls with big natural tits, fake tits, small tits, girls with braces, girls without braces, etc.
The point is, it’s going to take grit, determination & commitment to overcome the rejection & adversity you’ll encounter and continue pressing forward, no matter who you are.
How to Become a Porn Star – Step #2 – Take Continuous Action
If you’re reading this, you’ve already begun this step of how to become a porn star. Moving past the shit-talking phase and into the actual research phase is a huge deal. So, congratulations! Give yourself a big pat on the back.
With any venture in life, whether it’s getting married, having kids, starting a business, buying property, starting a new sport or hobby, competing in a sport, etc., talk is fine & dandy, but we all know that talk is cheap.
Once a person begins researching a subject matter, they begin to mentally insert themselves into the scenario, whatever it may be. In the sales industry, it’s when a prospect (potential customer) begins asking “buying questions.” He’s moved beyond “That’s a cool looking car” and into the realm of, “would it fit in my garage? What kind of financing do you offer? What would the payments look like?” When looking into how to become a porn star, this is moving from “what’s it like to be a pornstar?” to questions such as “is it possible to become a pornstar if I have a c-section scar? how big of a cock do I need?” and things like that.
Research, nowadays, often begins with a few Google searches. You might try talking with some people that have experience in the matter. In the case of the porn industry, certain industry conventions can be one way to network and get varying perspectives from different folks. The most intelligent place to start your porn career is with our Company.
We are the top-rated talent management Company for new adult film stars. Having a great talent management company representing you when you’re seeking how to become a porn star takes all of the guesswork out of the equation. Our contract performers are still encouraged to think for themselves & to do their own research & to make their own decisions, but 16 years of full-time service in this industry affords our team a wealth of knowledge, expertise & connections within the porn industry that you’re simply not going to have as a beginner aspiring pornstar. We know everyone in the industry, but we also know who is the most legit, who the assholes are, who the good ones (the winners) are, who pays the most, who always tries to work a deal, etc. Our connections, relationships, and expertise become your own when you sign with us.
If you choose to secure professional help to launch your career in the entertainment industry, there are four basic categories of support to choose from:
- Talent agent (talent agency)
- Talent manager (talent management company)
- Publicist (P.R. company)
- Lawyer (law firm)
Even with professional help, how to become a porn star still won’t happen by sitting around on your couch, waiting for your agent or manager to call you with a booking. Although it is up to your manager or agent to secure your bookings with producers & porn studios, a good talent manager will assign you several tasks to help boost your career, brand, and fame while dealing with the business people in the industry. It’s a team effort. In between bookings, it might be a good idea for you to post homemade videos (solo and/or with a partner[s]) & photos to your membership site, to do some webcam modeling or other brand-promoting activities.
People sometimes want to know the difference between a porn agency/porn agent and a porn talent management company/porn talent manager, like our Company. Two things:
A great talent manager generally provides a more personalized level of attention than a talent agent would.
Talent agents often function as glorified box tickers. For example, “welcome to our licensed & bonded porn talent agency. I see you’re a white girl with tattoos and big tits. We’ll call you whenever a producer calls in asking for a white girl with tattoos and big tits.” In the meantime, you won’t hear a peep from them, and you won’t even cross their mind. Frankly, they might even forget that you exist. In the American porn industry, porn talent agents have unfortunately developed for themselves an even more insidious & vile reputation (more background here), and yes, that includes (and is specific to most or even all of) the so-called “licensed & bonded porn agents.” They might as well be referred to as “licensed & bonded pimps in porn agents’ clothing.” Thankfully, a porn talent agency isn’t your only option when seeking professional assistance with how to become a porn star. That’s where we, as experienced talent managers, come in.
You’ll notice the difference from the beginning, even when you apply on our site. If you are pre-approved, you’ll get a phone call from one of our friendly talent reps. We take time with those applicants that we’re interested in, to get to know them, to become acquainted. Your goals & dreams become our own goals & objectives, on your behalf. The agreement we sign with our performers is titled “PERSONAL Management Agreement” (emphasis on the word “personal“) in big letters at the top. Although certainly not required, our talent reps sometimes become friends with their performer clients simply due to working so closely together. It’s an organic result, similar to how one might become friends with a co-worker over time. Yes, a good talent manager will work to introduce you to producers that are seeking performers with your specifications (similar to an agent). Still, he’ll care about your success in the industry and life in general. To talent agents, you’re often just another number. To most porn talent agents, you’re just another whore for their prostitution ring. According to Hollywood talent manager (talent manager, not talent agent) “Eric” from HBO’s hit series & feature film Entourage: “The manager is the one who cares.” A great talent manager may also do some P.R. (public relations) work for you, potentially eliminating the need to hire a publicist or P.R. firm. This service is included for our contract performers, at our Company.
A great talent manager offers a more holistic approach than a talent agent would.
Your career & success is more than ticking a checkbox for a high-quality porn talent manager. At our Company, we genuinely care about our performers’ overall growth & well-being. We constantly strive to help our contract performers reach their own individual goals. Bookings, of course, are the main thing, but what else are we doing to get our performers’ names out there? We help them launch their own profitable pornstar websites. We setup our performers on online platforms where their fans can interact with them to request custom videos, etc. (this is all for a monthly fee, of course, that the customers pay to our performers). We also teach our new-to-the-industry performers every step toward becoming successful in the industry. Most people have heard of the annual AVN porn convention in Las Vegas. Most laypeople assume that’s where the industry shot-callers do their networking, but this is a misconception; the AVN convention/expo is geared towards the fans (fans of adult stars). Although a small amount of intra-industry networking occurs at that annual event, there is a separate, much less known, one-day event that occurs the day after all the fans go home from AVN! It’s also in Vegas, and for years, our Company has been the only talent representation Company at that event. We are there actively, in person, promoting our sexy performers to the actual decision-makers of the biggest porn production studios in the world. Isn’t that the kind of talent representation that you deserve? Our contract girls & guys come to us seeking how to become a porn star, not how to accumulate thousands of useless, non-paying “followers,” but rather legitimate success in the adult film industry. We believe that whoever created the statement “money doesn’t buy happiness” was an absolute moron, and a broke one at that! Who cares how many views you have on PornHub if you’re still stressing out while waiting for the total to appear in the Whole Foods checkout line! Whole Foods doesn’t take PornHub views as payment for groceries, but they do take green cash money!
Our talent management staff is well versed, and constantly studying in all areas that can lead to our individual success and the success of our business family. (If you’re one of our models, you are part of that family! If you’re not, then you should apply to be!) These areas include business, finance, investing, photography, videography, photo & video editing, marketing, sales, follow-up, closing, negotiating, psychology, sociology, statistics, trends, legal, etc. Like Joe Rogan always says, “There’s levels to this shit.” [sic] And like our Vice President always says, “I’m not some Joe Schmo who went down to Best Buy, bought himself a video camera, and now claims that he’s a pornographer with his little OnlyFans account… no sir… I’m a lifer in this game, a professional, a 16-year veteran, a world-class expert.” We’re here to impart our expert knowledge & experience to our contract performers so that you can take the guesswork out of how to become a porn star.
How to Become a Porn Star – Step #3 – Blast Away the Haters & Naysayers
Haters & naysayers will show up along your journey of how to become a porn star success. Notice that we didn’t say they “may” come… they will come. Unfortunately, this is a universal life principle that all highly-successful people have come to understand. As success appears in a person or organization’s life, so will the haters.
Unfortunately, some of the initial haters & naysayers we encounter may likely come from very close to us, even from our own household or family. Naysayers are less easy to spot than outright haters because their destructive comments are less noticeable. A naysayer may say things like, “You don’t need to work so hard. I love you just the way you are.” To achieve high levels of success, you might need to either “check” (put in their place) or separate yourself from your naysayers, regardless of how close they are to you.
Haters & naysayers are unfortunately 100% guaranteed to show up in the life of any successful person or organization. Instead of learning how to become a porn star, you could hypothetically be studying how to help end hunger throughout the world. You could choose to dedicate your life to the cause of feeding homeless & low-income populations, start a non-profit charity, travel the world, feed millions of “less fortunate” people, and guess what? If you are making any significant impact, you will have haters! People will accuse you of mishandling donated funds, insincere motives, etc.
Haters may not bother people who aren’t doing anything with their lives, who aren’t making an impact, but they will surely come out of the woodwork once you begin achieving success (and maybe sooner than that). Suppose haters will attack someone for succeeding at a virtuous cause like feeding the homeless. How much more likely are they to (verbally) attack someone for pursuing a “fringe” career like professional adult movies?
By pursuing how to become a porn star, you may be called a whore, a slut, a bad person, etc. You might be told that you will not succeed or end up in sketchy situations. But you need to ask yourself, “The people saying these distracting things… how much of my rent & bills have they paid in the past 30 to 60 days?” The answer is most likely zero. So don’t let the haters & naysayers live in your head rent-free. Even if they were paying a portion of your rent or bills, it’s best to check or get rid of them if their negativity is holding you back.
Write down your goals twice daily and move towards them!
Step #4 – Enjoy Your Success!
Life is meant to be enjoyed. Yes, our younger years should be spent wisely hustling & stacking streams of income, including cash-flowing assets, but tomorrow on Earth isn’t promised to any of us.
As previously mentioned, we believe that the culprit that coined the phrase, “money doesn’t buy happiness,” was a broke motherfucker, and a stupid one at that. In fact, from personal experience, I can confidently tell you that the exact opposite is true… Money DOES INDEED buy happiness. I learned this when I was a very young man.
I got a job selling artwork in a shopping mall. As I walked to work during my first week, I passed by a restaurant in the mall that served breakfast food. I wanted some nice, hot eggs & link sausage before going to work, but I didn’t have any money. So, no eggs and no link sausage for me!
A week or so later, I received my first paycheck. I walked into that same restaurant and confidently ordered some eggs & link sausage with buttered white toast. Maybe some coffee and orange juice and ice water with lemon to wash it down. I was a pig in shit… I was HAPPY. And I realized that I would pay for that happiness with MONEY.
I realized the guy who coined “money doesn’t buy happiness” was an unadulterated dumbass. Money DOES buy happiness. Any other message is foo-foo, nonsense, egotistical garbage perpetuated by VERY misinformed people in a prideful attempt to be perceived as spiritual or lofty… or they’re just plain stupid. Money buys happiness for the possessor, the spender, and his beneficiaries.
I earn a large portion of my money from my ventures in the adult film industry. With that income, I was recently able to comfortably take my first proper vacation as an adult. I spent three weeks in Thailand, one of the greatest countries on Earth, disbursing a bunch of cash on extraordinary women, great food and unforgettable experiences. Once again, money bought me great happiness. As you learn how to become a porn star and succeed in the industry, invest most of your money, but spend some of it on some fantastic experiences. You earned it!
Not all jobs are a hoot. I’ve personally worked physical labor in a factory with little-to-no air conditioning in some rooms. I’ve done cold calling telemarketing straight out of a white pages phone book. I’ve even worked a few different positions as a trustee (the real ones shouldn’t have to Google that)! Let’s face it: some jobs are just more fun than others. Being a police officer, for example, seems like a lot of work, but it also seems like it would be a lot of fun.
Working on camera in the porn industry is another job that inherently includes some on-the-job fun. Very few people would disagree with that statement. The prominent part of that fun is pretty much built into the position: the primary job function is literally fucking on camera. Male or female, if you don’t enjoy having sex, then there is something wrong with you. Humans are supposed to enjoy sex; they’re wired as such. Figuring out how to become a porn star allows you to have a job in which the central element of the job description is something physically enjoyable. That enjoyable activity is bareback sexual intercourse.
