I went to a Brazzers party once in Vegas and met some of their stars, Julia Ann and that british dude. Awesome huge party at the Hard Rock. They have so much damn money, and there is so much money in that business; VC money, Angel investors, banks, off shore money, you name it, that a bootstrapped operation would have to be completely innovative in some way to get traction. I dont know what that is, but it looks like there is a very high barrier to entry.
Starting a local porn production company like Brazzers

I have seen some of Pierre Woodman's porns. In the popular ones I have seen he is always banging some innocent looking girl that seems like she doesn't want it in the ass and the girl is screaming. Thats part of his niche or maybe just perks of the job but the only videos I have seen from him with tons of views that are reposted everywhere are the ones I mentioned above. There is certainly a audience out there who wants to see young "innocent" girls get ravaged.

Live porn could be another angle. Not sure the legality of it though
Come over for chill and sexflix?
I seriously try not to watch but back when I did, I was quiet intrigued with the fake sugar daddy videos.
There are only 2 legit videos I could find in this niche but considering the work done on RVF sugar daddy thread, there could be tons of videos in this niche.

I've thought about the whole business.
As mentioned above, how many people actually pay for the stuff with so much free on the tube sites etc?
I understood how Vivid, Jenna Jameson, Ron Jeremy etc became rich before broadband and cheap hosting etc. But today, there are LOADS of companies, big and small, but how do they make money?
I know people who've made money in porn. But that was more "the olden days". And crime was never that far away. Atleast in the olden days, you could sell the softcore version to cable TV companies.
Vivid and the like seem to be involved in events and stuff. But how does that pay?
In the USA, I notice "starlets" might get a couple of hundred USD for a film performance but charge way more for escorting eg 1000usd per hour. Perhaps that is what funds some/much of it? Thats certainly the case in some countries. But most of these "porn stars" are anything BUT "stars".
I suppose virtual reality and niche markets MIGHT give some money... atleast for a very little while.

I know a guy who does this, i helped him with the tech side so I have a pretty good grasp of how it's done.
casting women = escorts, cam girls, strippers, sexyjobs.com, eastern europe, ocmodeling.com, hussiemodels.com, and many more adult model casting agencies. Bigger agencies will at first reject you if you have 0 content on your site so you'll need to get rolling with amateur girls. Not surprisingly lots of johns try to book porn star models for escorting which is something they don't like due to the risk and no fame benefit.
equipment = some high end sony camera that was about $3,0000, you could probably get by with a panasonic GH4, a pair of cheap 700w studio lights available on amazon
website = elevatedx.com which is like wordpress for adult sites, lets you setup membership, billing, trials, etc. Used by many big sites. Their server/hosting service is way overpriced, go with vultr.com or digitalocean.com instead
payments/merchant account = ccbill.com is what he uses, oldest and most stable with weekly payments but they charge a higher fee than most. The upside is 0 headaches and it's a trusted name among the few remaining people who pay for porn and is easy to setup with just about any website. There are other options but no sense in fiddling around to say 3% on fees
marketing = uploading clips to all the free porn tube sites, subreddits, forums, and making webm's to post on 4chan's /gif/. These places don't send much sales directly since they are 99% freeloaders but people searching through google for keywords will find them and he gets a lot of sales that way. A clip hosted on pornhub is 500% more likely to show up on the first page than if you hosted that video on your own site. He uses semrush to evaluate the big sites like pornhub, xvideos, etc and then filters by keywords for which ones he should use.

Is making porn DVD's and selling subscriptions to websites actually still lucrative? There is endless free steaming porn on adult sites. Those sites primarily just get paid by ads since they are covered head to toe in advertisements.

I get the impression most guys are just using it to pay to fuck women as opposed to having any serious intention of turning a profit or turning it into a real business.
I actually did this way back when, but my porn site was weak. I basically created a website dedicated to all the hip-hop based strip clubs in the USA, and you could read and write reviews for free, and there was a forum. Funny thing is girls started promoting their services in my forum. lol. I also had videos that I merely embedded from other websites that showed hip-hop type of girls dancing nude in various clubs, parties, music videos, etc. I didn't make much money at all, just enough to buy a round a groceries each month, because I did not charge for the site. I was worried that people would not want to pay for my weak amateur site that I created in my living room. My revenue came from advertisements, and I used JuicyAds and other third party sites to manage my ads. I had a full time job at the time, and then shut the site down for various reasons. It was fun though. I had quite a bit of users and visitors on a regular basis. I created and ran the site myself, and had to personally approve all club reviews before they were posted to block spam. To this day I still don't think there is another website up like mines that is dedicated to that niche. I have a tech background so it wasn't too bad for me getting the site up, just took time. I may relaunch the site one day, but I will need to make it mobile friendly because I created it before all the smartphones, apps, and iPads came out.

Big props to everyone ventured into this world. I've always wanted to get into the business consultant side of this helping people with a lot of the grey area in the adult industry similar to this guy out in Australia http://www.adultservicesaccounting.com.au
But with barely any experience, I'll sit in my cubicle until I get some more skills to branch out and set up shop in Arizona or Florida haha

Anyone knows if there's a possibility to monetize home-made porn with ads like one can do with videos on Youtube?
edit.
OK I've just done some quick research. Pornhub has a partner program which seems similar to the one Youtube offers. Here's the link: https://www.pornhub.com/partners/cpp However, I could not find how much $$ you can make per say 1000 views.

Saw this also in France, find on porn tubes some french amateur vids that were about 5mn long with some good action, then at the end they used to tell you "for more suscribe to our site...",.
Basically the same group of friends keep fucking pros and "women who want to try porn once in their boring life" I thought "there is no way guys be that thirsty to pay that much money to have access to some amateur vids".
The funny part is that the site got no longer new vids but still get subscriptions so... might be interesting to go in...
