Since a guy only makes money so he can get more pussy, then the male talent could just be paid in pussy. I'd live in a cardboard box if I was doing this on a regular basis.

What video is that from?

[Penny24Seven]

This is how I did it.
I charged the customer for the custom video which he wrote the script for and he would pay on average 500 dollars.
Each girl got 150 dollars for each scene. We would do 15 scenes in a day.
I filmed it cost 0.
Breakfast 50.
Dinner 75
At the end of the day after collecting the money from the customer and paying the girls and giving them bonuses for made up shit for the fun of it I would still have a grand in my pocket and 15 scenes that cost me nothing to make.
The girls about 2K each, we would all fuck one last time. The end.
Cost zero LOL. I do not agree with those prices

I fixed it for you.

[Paul Markham]

Here's how we did it. Model's cost $350 per scene. Which sold for an average of $3,000 each offline and $1,000 online. I still own the library and still make $500+ a month.

Studio, office costs in total were $500 per scene.

Great for those who can adapt. The OP's figures are probably about right for now.

150 per girl for one scene. Isn't that cheap? I mean, good for you.
Can I see those videos, please?

[iSpyCams]

I think if we're not talking about one of the half dozen or so outfits that have any budget at all, then the only item that belongs on that list is the female talent- who is also the makeup artist.

For everyone else the male talent, camera, director, writer (lol) sound technician (rofl) and everything else including the webmaster are the same person who gets approximately nothing except another piece of content for his website which may or may not be earning income.

The "production assistant" is the talent's boyfriend or whatever that she brought along even though she knows she wasn't supposed to. He doesn't get paid unless she pays him.

If this is per scene, then the female talent rates are about right, everything else is high. I mean, $500 for a makeup artist?

[Photoguy3]

I'm a good friend of Ginger Lee, ex star and what is correct about the article is the girls going to clubs dancing as a featured dancer who has a name a lot of money can be made. Also sometimes the girls are hired as models for photo workshops, again, with a name they will hire out for private sessions after the main workshop if finished again making more $.
Interesting article. I have been wanting to get into video and have really no idea what to pay talent.

Today most of those guys are gone. It's a model and shooter.

Some of today's rates in porn valley

Girl-Girl : $350 - $600
Boy-Girl : $500 - $800
Anal : $600 - $1000

Male performers : $50 to $300

Producer or shooter handles everything and the girl does her own make up.

That is cheaper than A pornstar escort for an hour. I'd assume they would prefer escorting to making a scene (except the number of scenes needed to retain their status so they could charge their money).

[shimmy2]

so thats what ive been doing wrong all these years

[CaptainHowdy]

[Relic]

Madalton, seems legit.

[DMRC]

Much less than female performers in Japan, even the new and unknown ones, but accurate for the male performers.

I'm actually surprised at the female performers numbers. Even at the lower spectrum, i thought she would earn way more than $300

[NETbilling]

I'm not in the content business and I don't use prostitutes but I always wondered about this...

If a hot girl gets $750 for a day of shooting porn, why not just be a Vegas hooker and make $300 an hour?

Shooting porn is advertising and branding for your more lucrative escort biz

[fris]

thought girls would get more than the men performers

Mitch

some porn girls actually want the fame and feel like actresses, not hookers

also girls told me that they don't like escort cause there they have to talk/listen to the guys and hear all their stupid stories - also they dont like to fuck old, fat, hairy or otherwise disgusting men

$50.00 and you get your dick wet -- no shortage of talent probably (free viagra )

[TheLegacy]

You can tell they only use a selective group geographically.
Parts of US girls/guys get paid based on their connection to the photographer

Yet now - because there is so much out there photographers are hurting badly and content companies are hard pressed to actually dump their product therefore selling it in bulk for a huge discount. Now find a girl who is prepared to cross the border in content then you may have something.

Those who shoot put more into their equipment than the models.
Those who buy it put more money into the computers and editors than the models and photographer.
Even cam companies spend more money on the backend of their system and promotional sales reps than they do on the models
The rest of us spend more money advertising on tubes than it costs to actually make a tube and populate it.

This industry is very tight lipped when it comes to salaries or expenses so be surprised at these figures coming from more than 4 people.

LA produces the most porn. It's considered the porn capital of the world.

High end escorts don't want young guys, they like older men, as long as they are well groomed. Young guys are riskier, more likely to try to rip them off, less discreet, more likely to become obsessed and think the escort is actually in love with them, physically abusive.

Pornstar escorts get $1500 for an hour - tlc - The Luxury Companion tons of LA pornstars repped by that agency and there's more who don't want it known that they escort in their private members area. It's an easier more lucrative lifestyle than shooting porn where she would make $800 on a shoot that lasts all day, no condoms, huge dicks that cause damage.

Spoken by a man with a clue about this sector of the business.

Those rates all seem about right for medium quality LA vignette type scenes.
For gonzo the rates would shift lower I think.
