Usual Disclaimer: I did not ask for opinions and I do not care whether or not you think I should do this. If you disagree with what I am doing, do not follow. Also, I am NOT suggesting that anyone follow my path. Just sharing what I am doing in case anyone decides to go this route. Also, I have a Master's degree, so you can expect that I know what I'm doing even when I don't!
With that out of the way, let's get down to business. Porn business. I am going to become a porn star and this thread is going to document that journey.
My why: Because I want to and because I can.
As I documented in this thread, my wife built a business on the verge of six-figures over the last year on OnlyFans. I played a role in that, mostly as a performer and advisor rather than as a business partner (technically, I'm a 50% partner anyway haha).
I've been in the adult industry in various capacities since I started as an entrepreneur. I've sold erotica, glass dildos, erotic dreaming kits, erotic hypnosis programs, and even temporarily a fan subscription (kind of like OnlyFans). But until now, I've never gone all-in on the physical capacity that most people associate with "porn." But that's what I am going to do.
I am going to build a porn empire.
It will have multiple income streams. Subscriptions. Ad revenue. One-off product sales. Digital products. Courses, Sponsorships etc. To do this, I will build up an audience, turn them into paying customers, and then expand both within and without the industry.
Where I'm At So Far
- I'm a verified model on PornHub, Xvideos, and a couple other tube sites
- I have 230 (free) subscribers on PornHub
- My PornHub channel has over 65k views with half of those views coming from a single (audio only) video
- I have limited content on PornHub already generating passive ad revenue
- Around 67 (free) subscribers on my OnlyFans account (those all came through my wife's account when she tagged me lol)
Things I've Learned So Far
- PornHub ad revenue is way better than YouTube ad revenue
- You can make money on PH even WITHOUT showing any nudity (as I was doing with erotic audio produced as video)
- 170,000 people are creating OnlyFans accounts daily but only 7k-8k of those are content creators
- There's a million bazillion ways to make money in this industry and there's a customer for every product
- Anyone of any body type/size/style/gender can do this if you've got the grit and you're a bit of a risk-taker
Where I'm Going Next
I'm on some tube sites already because I was making audio content, but my physical content is only on PH. Beyond PH I don't have an audience for this, so I'm going to start a YouTube channel documenting the journey. YouTube is going to play a key role in my empire. I think this is a better route for audience-building than the one most female OF models take (Twitter and Instagram). I'm also going to launch a Udemy course on OnlyFans that I closely collaborated with my wife to create. The idea is to build an audience that wants my content while also building an audience that wants to learn how to do this as a business. I want to sell to both types.
So the very next steps are to get some YT videos going, ramp up production for PornHub, launch the Udemy course in about two weeks, and then launch a subscription fansite. I'll either put the fansite on OnlyFans, AVN Stars, or just use PornHub. Not sure which yet. OF is super restrictive with their content. AVN Stars is the most lenient, but the least well-known. PornHub might be the best place, although they've got quite a lot of restrictions on their content too. Beyond that, I need to start thinking about how I'll niche down and what kind of content I'll create going forward.
That's where I'm at. I'll post again when I get something up on YouTube. For now, just imagine how you'll feel when you accidentally see my butt on the internet somewhere.
I welcome all questions.
