I know several people who like to show off for money and they don't really want to go through all the trouble and expenses of setting up a full blown website,but are interested in selling their photos to other websites and such if possible. They are considering doing their own if they can't do it this way. Any ideas, you all can respond here and I will copy and paste it to them or you can email to them at [email protected], put ar15.com or something like that in the subject line and I will tell them to keep an eye out for your recommendations.

Quoted:
They just missed the AVN Convention in Vegas two weeks ago.

Porn is a well-established business these days, so there are plenty of companies and distributers to contact, most of whom are located in the greater Los Angeles area.

But there isn't a lot of money in it unless you handle all aspects of the production and (particularly the) distribution.  They might get a few hundred bucks for a photo shoot or video, but that's about it, unless they are producing "professional" quality stuff, and can get work with a major magazine (stills) or distributer (video).  They will need to have signed releases (check for what the company requires as far as paperwork) from everyone in the video, and if there is male-female interaction, there are additional requirements such as STD testing.  These records must be kept and must be publically available on request, and for video, a notice must appear stating the location and holder of these records.

There are tons of ametuers on the 'net making their own porn, and much of it is available for free.  In fact, even if you run a pay site, your stuff will be shared on P2P sites, Usenet, and other sources.

The real money is made by distributing the content yourself.  Traditionally, this means magazine subscriptions (stills) or DVD distribution (video).  For the last decade, that has also included website subscriptions.

Online, the money-maker isn't really the content, but a well-organized website that makes browsing and downloading easy, has a good, simple, reliable billing system, and is *constantly* being updated.  By "constantly" I mean at least once per day, and with new material at least once or twice a week.  The website has to be good enough that people are willing to PAY for the convenience of going there to get your content instead of searching for it elsewhere for free.  Of course, everything I just wrote is true of virtually any subscription-based website.

Like many other jobs that seem easy at first, most folks quickly find that this becomes a full-time (or more) job, not something that you can do "on the side" and make any money on.

No, it's not spam. I just happen to know some people who are real people not models who thought they would give it a try. And was wondering if anyone here knew how they could go about it. They have all sorts of stuff. I have been on here for probably 6 or 7 years back on the old board and such but I have been away a lot this last year and 1/2 so I haven't been on much so I will go read the COC and BOTD rules before I do or say something wrong.

With thnew rules here I do not think I can post any of the photos here. Most of them are short skirts, lingerie, topless, thongs, nudes, nude in public, and such stuff. A couple of them want me to bring over some weapons and tactical gear and such to do a photo shoot like that. These ladies are doing it to make some extra cash here and there and have some fun while doing so. Trust me when some of these people told me they were doing this I never would have believed it. But anyway, I appreciate the info, and like always I am re-assured that ar15.com members can answer just about any questions asked and do so very well.
