best position to be in the biz

so other than the real big players who have fingers in every pie, who make the most money in porn?

as in:
models, actors
photographers
content providers
paysite owners

or even affilate, advertising, promo people?

just curious!

this is an interesting question. I think you have to look at it in terms of other factors such as capital requirements and time freedom. I can say that being an affiliate probably has just one highly leveraged and profitable expense: online marketing. It has low capital requirements, virtually no headaches, high leverage, and reeps the benefits of the whole industry all the way from pornstars to content producers, paysite operators, down to the whole technology infrastructure. You get all of this benefit and you own virtually none of it and have to deal with none of it!

In other words, every segement is profitable but which one requires the least amount of your time, is the most efficient, and requires the least amount of capital for every dollar of profit. My answer: affiliation. In porn, it seems distribution is very profitable, it is unlike mainstream, where distribution is a hard thing to do well, less effective and has lower margins.

My vote would be affiliates. Their overhead is very low, the only negative is the compeition.

Content providers and program owners both have a lot of costs and a lot of competition.

Talent sucks because there's no residuals, unless they have their own site.

Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

Good paysite that can convert isn't a bad thing to have.

so basically the people who everyone relies on and cant do without, ie the models!! (unless you're in anime ) are probably making nowhere near as much as everyone else?

So i think the best thing would be if i was a hot chick and i posed and photographed myself and set up a pay-site then i should have a good ratio, all i would need to spend on is getting some good traffic i guess and then id still be relying on all the affilate peeps to get my clicks!

Yeah i think you're all correct! the people with the traffic have the power!

all depends how good you are

you have as much traffic as you want , when your programs are converting !

Whatever you are doing you have to provide the best quality and then all aspects are integrated.

Belive it or not, also traffic providors has their costs, and their only way to earn is by maximize these costs to the best converting programs. Since you will not have a good converting site without buy the best content , there is a lot of room for good contect providors as well as performers.

So the golden rule is do whatever you are good at , and try to make it the best you can.
