The problem I see is there really isn't that much promotion going on. How will anyone know you have anything new out if you never promote it? I know this girl whose agent will not return her calls and will not email her back. I told her he's lazy like many other agents. NOT ALL. But she is in a hit movie and no help at all from her agency. She also didn't get any help during the recent F.A.M.E. weekend. She had to set up her own booth and everything herself with not even a peep from her agent. I asked her a year ago why no press releases from her agency about her new movies. She contacted them and they didn't return her emails and calls. So I told her to write her own press release and gave her the formula for how to write a press release. I also gave her the emails and sites that run press releases and she got into most of them including AVN & XBiz.
Now I'm getting more press releases from other girls from their own email accounts. So they also have to promote themselves even though they have agencies but the agents wouldn't do the basic job of writing a press release.
The biggest Z-list Hollywood wannabes get treated like rock stars in mainstream Hollywood while well known porn stars get treated like shit. One of THE biggest female porn stars didn't get a birthday party or even a mention by her own two best friends this year. She said on her Twitter that fans from her social networks remembered her birthday but her own friends, boyfriend, and business associates did nothing.
You have more promotion for the newest sex toy than you do when they show up on a mainstream show. You usually hear about a mainstream appearance hours before or hours after it happened. Sometimes it's never released and you hear about it weeks later. How else are their fans suppose to know what's new in their favorite porn star's lives if it's never released? Their official blogs are rarely updated. Their Myspace blogs are rarely updated though many don't even own their own Myspace accounts. Many performers trust their handlers to do what they said they would do but it's rarely done.
Many fans are turned off with the shit that's going on in porn like pissing, slapping, gaping holes, and extreme porn where it's clearly visible that the girl is not enjoying it at all. Fans are also turned off when they find out the girl doesn't even run her own Myspace and once again had her domain stolen. And I repeatedly keep on hearing how many prefer watching porn from the 70's and 80's compared to the porn put out there today. The powers that be should take a look back at what was good 25 years ago and incorporate that into today's porn and see the turnaround that will happen.
