You can absolutely make 30k a month or more as a content creator. Amatuer video sells well and if you're marketing and making enough volume then id say totally possible.
But I assume you're a female, know that solo or gg works fine too. Colabbing on sex scenes with male talent they need to bring a lot to the table.
You don't seem super well versed in how content share or trade works - highly suggest getting yourself fully informed before working with anyone else - lots of dodgy ppl out there!
- content selling means lots of editing, uploading to clip sites
- don't trust anyone w rev share unless it's a partner.
- content trade means you each film a clip or more and each have full ownership of that clip.
- content share means you both sell the same clip. This can work for some situations but if there is any imbalance in your followings, etc.. it's not a great idea.
You should always:
Have up to date (with 2 weeks) sti testing through a PASS approved testing. PASS recently added vaginal and rectal swabbing due to an uptick with new strains of viral STIs
The talent should show you their test - ideally via a website. Tests can be photoshopped.
You'll both need 2257 docs, model releases and depending on where you sell you may need multiples. Do your paperwork first. Consider an NDA to protect your privacy.
Go over comfort and safety and boundries before the shoot. Also include things like how you want to be advertised. Tags, descriptors etc
If it's someone you don't know well, put this in writing
Always leave with copies of your content that you own.
You mentioned professional porn.. these shoots are usually not content trade, you walk away with a flat fee and no rights over your content.
