I'm no expert but there is some good advice in here. I would say this as well:
1. as others have said manage your money well. I would say live well below you means. If you are making 100K a year live like someone making 30K and save and invest the rest. The reason is simple. This business will chew you up and spit you out. In a few years you may change your mind and decide you want a different path. It might take a while to find something else to do with yourself and you will need that money.
2. If you have plans of being a teacher or dong any job that deals with the public or kids, don't do it. Eventually someone will find out about your past and it will cost you.
3. If you are doing this for some quick money, don't. There are better ways to make some fast money than to be a porn star. If she is hot and just needs some quick cash she can strip for a few months. Sure, someone she knows might see her, but that is better than having hardcore porn movies out there that you will spend the rest of your life explaining.
4. Go big or go home. If you decide to be a pornstar work you ass off to be as big as possible. If you work hard, save your money and do everything you can to make as much money as possible when you get to the point where you no longer want to do it you will have a nice chunk of change to live off of.
5. Learn to say no or have someone in your life that will. You hear about girls going to a shoot then finding out the director wants them to do anal or something they weren't planning on or getting paid for. They feel pressured to do the scene and are guilted into doing it and regret it. Be willing to say no and if you can't have someone with you that can and will. Don't be afraid to walk away. It is better to lose a job then end up doing something you regret.
6. Understand that this is forever and people will see it. No matter what you do with your live down the road these movies and pics will be around. People will recognize you and approach you in public. If the idea of having "fans" approach you while you are in the mall with your family or friends horrifies you, don't do it. Also, understand that 20 years from now when you are long retried from the business and working for some big company, someone will find one of your videos and it will make it's way around the office. There have been stories of people getting fired for having been porn stars 15 years earlier so understand that this will happen and that many people, once they find out about your past, will look at you differently.
anyway, just my 2 cents
