As a consumer of amateur porn, thank you!
Getting into amateur porn
We've been making amateur porn for about a year now and its been very successful for us. We show our faces because we don't give a fuck who sees us, some of our friends and coworkers know what we do too.
Its so easy to do it online now, don't need to start your own website as there is porn video sharing sites that you can open an account and just post your videos and get paid with ad revenue and/or selling your videos as the price you set. The site does take a percentage but it seems fair as it takes the hassle out of running our own site.
Word to the wise is to use a HD camcorder with good lighting, put effort into your videos. Many think they can just post a few short smartphone clips and expect the money to roll in. Wrong! Our videos are 10 minutes to an hour long and our fans love it!! At over 2 millions views now ;)
Feel free to message us if you have any questions :p
You have gotten some good warnings. We know some people who thought things would never circle back to them. They took tons of precautions and assumed they had done enough. Just assume your kids, parents, and the cashier at McDonald's will see your hard work. There are some ways to conceal your identity if that is an issue. Spend some time figuring that out.
Now, as Travelvet has pointed out, you need to put a ton of work into quality with means tons of lighting and shooting at a bare bones hd of 720. Keep in mind that even though you are gunning for the amateur category there is some really stiff competition. These guys get the injections and stay up for days. Be sure you find people who can perform really well and a super well groomed. Be sure that you have actors/players sign the waivers provided by the hub, hamster, or any chat site you might use. Also consider talking to a lawyer and being sure that these work in your state and will protect you from liability. You may need to use a second for where you live to keep you safe. This won't mean that they cannot or will not sue you at some point. Especially, if your actor turns out to be someone's cheating husband. Take a lot of time to vet those you are going to perform with. If you are going bare back then insist on testing and test yourselves regularly. The clinic folks will know your names and probably your web page. Also, put in some quality practice time in front of the camera to get your lighting and mics all set up correctly. Avoid amateur errors like shadows from the tripod or camera guy. Think about spending a month perfecting your set up before moving toward shooting. Then just start with some solo shoots to introduce yourselves or just your wife.
Now that you know I'm no expert... I can tell you what I've learned through talking with the head guys and decades of watching.........
Anybody these days can get a camera, a woman, and have sex. Upload it to any number of sites and now you're doing amateur porn. What will set you apart is what porn are you shooting? Is it high quality HD? Is it well lit so you can see everything? Do I want to see you both having sex in the first place? Do you have good angles? Good sounds of love making? Do you both look like you're enjoying it? Etc etc.
That's video one... Now how are you going to keep me coming back? Same room each time? Same outfits? Same dialogue? Same people? Same titles? Are you going to do something new? Innovative? Sexier than the last time? Are you consistent?
All of that is your gameplan and investment plan. Anybody can have a PHub or OFans page. But can you keep people coming back to watch YOU? Are you willing to invest in that expensive camera and light set and get different hotel rooms?
It's easy..... But it's not easy
I've actually gotten a woman into porn before.... Story time :) and then I'll drop my pointers....
I'm something like a poet, but I used to be on a bigger notoriety scale. Anyways, I get a random email one day from a woman who wants me to help her get into porn. I have no idea why she chose me, maybe some lyrics... It was during Myspace era and her pics were old and grainy. Think 2005-2006. This had to be a joke right? She was older than me, never married, two kids, from bumfuck NY. This can't be true? So being the intelligent man that I was, I went directly to her house without vetting her any further than that :/
Luckily, she wasn't a killer.. She was actually gorgeous. Probably the top 10 looking women I've ever been with in my life. Amazing body. Funny. Good person. Seemed so wholesome. I still couldn't figure this out. We spent the weekend together, I took her pics, we went out, met the whole family, parents too, and went back home.
I sent the photos out to the emails on the back of DVDs lol. About 5-6 companies responded and asked for her info. They said if she flies out to Cali, shoots for 6 weeks, they keep 20%, I get 5% and she keeps the rest. About $1000 per scene and she could shoot as much as she wanted... Sadly she couldn't go to Cali for 6 weeks with her job and children. But these were major companies. Vivid. WCP. A few others.....
That's as much as I could do. I mean to go from nothing to cali porn shoots is pretty amazing. She ended up doing local NYC porn cause she could get there in a day. She filmed maybe 3-4 scenes. If I gave you the studio name, web address and showed you the video, you still wouldn't know the name of the company. That's how small it was.. NONETHELESS... The year is 2020, almost 2021... She has grandkids, a live in boyfriend, never did another scene, never used her real name, nothing... She STILL catches absolute HELL from those videos. Lost jobs. People expose her at her kids' school. Angry exes upload it to sites again. It's spread around her home town so she gets looks everywhere.. This was 15 years ago!!!
People act scared on here about faces... Ever since then, I never once questioned that fear. People will treat you like trash if they think you're doing something "wrong" sexually.......
OP: Are you looking to do this just for you, make amatuer porn for others using others, or go public with yourself being the actors to make a buck or 2? If the latter, one of the current forum people (overeducatedcouple?) is doing that through Porn hub an can probably give you more details.
I'd give that lot of thought if I was you. As one who had a couple videos of myself posted on a porn sight, without my permission, it wasn't easy to get them down. When I was younger did a little modeling and there is nude stuff out there, but nothing sexual. that I can't do anything about. But having worked for large conservative corporations, the videos did cause me to lose some sleep. Fortunately they caused me no problems, hopefully no one I worked with saw them. If they did they kept there mouths shut and never mentioned it to me. You act in them they will be out there forever, you sign releases for their release and distribution. We know a couple who made some in L.A., while out there on a trip. Nothing big, made a few thousand dollars. They really don't care who sees them.
We knew a couple that went to California and made some porn movies and next thing her movies were all over town and she was the talk of the town.I would advise against it.Just our thoughts
Be very careful.. we had some in Vegas who wanted to film us.. no way for us.. turns out he was selling all he ran into on SLS to amateur porn sites..
Now not that we are prudes.. but BOTH had high profile jobs in very public domains.. and well lets just say once its out there it out for good! Swingers well over 20 plus years and really never cared to go public before SLS and our profile.. now that we are retired.. really do not care "too much".. one still consults so we weigh the good and bad!
It would appear to be pretty straight forward on pornhub: create an account, video or cam some play, post a teaser and see if anyone “contributes”. Issue is it’s not very private for performers. Have eyes wide open if you proceed, and if you do hope it is all you hope it to be.
My wife and I have talked about the idea of her getting into amateur porn or doing adult photo shoots. Definitely not looking to make this a full-time thing but we would like for her to play around with a little adult photo shooting and possibly doing some amateur porn scenes. We know most places are in California we live on the east coast in Maryland any help would be greatly appreciate it
