I am Officially Lowering all Talent Rates Industry Wide (See Inside)...

[Voodoo]

Due to the neverending saturation of the Adult Marketplace, to help companies realize ROI a little sooner from their investments, I am officially reducing all talent rates as indicated by the pricing structure below...

The following is the Official Talent Rate Chart for the Adult Industry:
Female Rates:
B/G = $100
Anal = $120
G/G = $20
Solo = $5
Oral = $20
Toys = $5

Male Rates:
B/G = $100
B/B = Inquire
Solo = $5
Oral = N/A
Anal = N/A

Do not overpay anymore. These are the Official Rates.

Regards,
Voodoo

[Redmanthatcould]

[Barefootsies]

They were paid in cocaine back in the 70's, so give it a whirl. Although you'd probably have to pay them in ice now a days.

[Voodoo]

what baout combinations like GGGB/ anal ?

GGGB = He pays you $300
Anal = N/A (Male)

[RayBonga]

The unions will kill you

[OldJeff]

Even at those rate, 90% of the yo-yos would not be able to finance themselves a POV blowjob

[TeenCat]

i am officially drunked, do not ovedrunk me!

[CB_Voyta]

NOTICE: Those prices are of course how much the performer pays YOU in order to be allowed to appear in your feature. I hope nobody thought we would be paying some schmucks to have sex on camera these days...

I may offer my Walker, Texas Ranger DVDs (to borrow, of course), as a bartering option.

[Gregory Black]

Low rates just means more jackoffs picking up cameras and calling themselves "directors".

ha, no shit, with rates like that a bum could become a porn producer...oh wait, there already are bums as porn producers

[D]

Do we still have to supply the toys?

We should bring this back!

[JohnnyPearl]

100$ for Male Rates for a B/G is crazy. Should be like 10$.

[Mutt]

ha you wish - the power is now in the talent's corner - there are so many websites and DVD companies now and the talent pool is small - there are girls who could jack up their rates to 3K a shoot and they would make no less - they'd work less shoots but make the same amount of money.

good time to be a crazy 18 year old girl.

[Fap]

Well now that it's official ill go out and buy some shots

[dodger21]

Ive got a beefy cock

[g$$$]

hahahah...u wish these were the prices

Mutt, the talent pool is bigger than ever in every region across the board and new girls are flooding the industry more than ever. Which makes it especially backwards and foolish the way that so many studios, and producers have been bidding up the talent rates for no reason at all the last few years. It's just so unnecessary and it only comes out of the independent producers or the studios pockets.

[stickyfingerz]

We pay our talent with Walmart Giftcards......

i agree that the numbers in the talent pool are bigger these days BUT the ratio of girls to shooters/studios has widened. the number of people shooting porn has by far increased faster than the numbers of new talent.

[Gregory Black]

Fresh halfway decent looking girls are getting over a grand without any problem.

Several of more established girls are getting $1200.

Yeah, the pickings are pretty slim when you get an order for 20 scenes in a very specific niche. Lets say you get an order for teen hardcore scenes. I challenge any of you guys to find even 5 cute teen looking girls on the agency sites. I am talking CUTE and without white trash tats all over her. (obviously I am talking about LA and not europe)

Recruit your own you say? Ha ha, yeah sure if you fucking pay me to do it. Recruiting is a full time job and even the agents who have people on payroll recuriting all day long hardly manage to get any new girls.

Yes, yes, yes. Perfectly stated.

Yes, but so what? This is exactly the attitude that makes these companies think- incorrectly in my opinion- that they need to compete with one another and desperately film some specific new girl of the week, today, right this minute. And therefore they pay a premium for the privilege of doing so and drive the talent rate up for everyone across the board for every girl including even the b roster and girls that have been shot 100 times and around for months.

In reality, except for rare exceptions, all these girls are essentially interchangeable within broad categories anyway, eg, teens, MILFs, ethnic types. It amazes me that others are so willing to throw their money away spending big money for every model in every scene across the board.

[tony286]

brother jim gunn has some good points

[Jace]

i would like to say that talent wised up and realized the potential of selling for each scene and the money that can be made from that one scene, but it unfortunately doesn't have to do with that at all...LOL

if talent doesn't realize the money that can be made on each scene they are idiots, and if producers don't see the money that can be made from each scene beyond the standard means of income from that scene, then they are idiots too

I can think of at least 7 sources of income off the top of my head from one single scene, if you are a content producer that can create high quality content on a consistent basis, you can make some pretty serious cash, and if talent ever realized this they would jack up their rates even higher

that's where you are wrong though - the girls aren't interchangeable. the great girls, the ones who make surfers go 'Holy shit! How can a girl this cute be doing porno?!?!' sell like crazy.

you're right in that the vast majority of girls are interchangeable and the way the biz has always been set up is that they all get the same amount for the same job (solo,b/g,g/g,anal, etc) - like in any other entertainment field the stars should make more and the journeymen should make alot less.

[MandyBlake]

$20 for a girl/girl! oh yes! i'm rich!

I think you feel this way because you dont pay talent lol

[Jace]

I think you feel this way because you dont pay talent lol

you are right, all girls need to charge $100

I have paid for talent before and have been on a budget before, and I never minded paying top dollar for certain girls that have the "it" factor

fact remains, if a content producer doesn't know how to properly distribute his content to all channels available and make all available money that is to be made, that isn't the talents fault, it is the producers

for instance, a web site owner that has all exclusive content should be researching ways to have his content started into a dvd line, then after that vod/pay per view...after that cable (if possible)...the money stream is endless, there are people still making money off my wife and i and we have not shot new material for dvd in 4 years, but new dvd's are always out with us in them and we are still constantly on cable....

[Nadia's Lair]

LoL!! pretty funny

[ElConquistador]

What is the going LA rate right now for a hot girl with good body, not all tatted up and fugly? What can she get for solo, girl girl, boy girl, etc.

Last I knew it was about $500 for a 1 girl-girl scene, and maybe $7-800 for a boy-girl, and up to $1,000 or more if you wanted her to do anal or something.

[GigoloJustin]

Why even pay them! Sex is fun right?

[bausch]

I hears Amy Reid gets 2x the average rate. Over 2k for a scene.

[davecummings]

He's Right!!

Jim's 100% correct.

Maybe agents/managers need to back off a bit, lest they raise rates of their contractees so high (thus making THEIR percentage higher) that the Industry crumbles under the weight of talent fees???

[GhengisBong]

Not just the agencies.some of the bigger companies over pay girls as well, they create situations where the model thinks everyone will pay this.

[Red Ezra]

i think coupon day might be a good way to go too or double coupon day
