The smaller companies and niche players will still be busy shooting for themselves, their own sites, clip stores, DVDs etc under the formulas that work for them. As well, the top porn studios and very biggest porn companies who have successful sites and/or DVD series will continue for the markets that they serve. Like Dan, said, even with the economy, societal changes and omnipresence of free porn, there are still a number of lucrative revenue streams to be exploited by re-purposing your content several different ways if you have quality content, style, personality or content that serves a niche or fetish market well.

I am fortunate that I keep pretty busy shooting the different kinds of content that I excel at, for some top programs and porn companies around the world. But there aren't a whole lot of independent producers left who can make a living at this game, that's for sure. I am continuing to shoot the hottest new American teen girls in solo, fetish, g/g and b/g and group sex action for demanding clients. I have put a lot of effort into new sources for recruiting the new faces that contribute to a lot of my business. And the occasional cool jobs like shooting adult software game apps, adult informercials, and other special projects always a neat to expand my skill sets.

In 2009 I had been shooting more for myself as well. Despite the economy, I actually invested a significant amount of money and sweat equity into shooting unique new softcore and hardcore girl-girl and boy-girl content that I intend to market under my own brand in 2010 with the help of a couple of the biggest distributors and programs to release my new movies on DVDs, web sites and other markets. I feel strongly that nowadays especially that it is important to get feedback from the actual consumers who are your end users as well as the more immediate business to business target markets to make sure that you are on the right track and that you don't end up filming more boring, generic porn that just won't sell anymore.
