Q. What is Adult Modeling Alliance and what is it that you do?

A. Model Housing | Transportation | Bookings | Advice | Guidance | Support | Management & Success Strategies for the Adult Industry

We specialize in introducing new models to the industry.

Q. What is a reasonable expectation of earnings for these adult video gigs?

ADULT VIDEO SHOOTS:

We are seeing the average rate for a Boy/Girl scene in South Florida & New York range from $700 to $1,000 for the average new girl.

Exceptional looking and/or skilled models get more. We've seen $1200-$1500 in several cases for a boy/girl scene from the larger companies.

A exceptional looking new girl can make $10,000-$15,000 and even up to $20,000 a month between Florida , New York & LA.

WEBCAM

Some girls pay their bills just camming 3-4 hours a night from home.

You can pay bills on it. For more information about our webcam program, click here:

WEBSITE OWNERSHIP

Down the road, If you do a website, there's the website membership income which can add up fast even if you only keep a few hundred members a month happy @ $19.95/month with auto-recurring-billing.

FEATURE DANCE CIRCUIT

Doing adult films will increase your name recognition and earnings substantially as a dancer. Pornstars pull fans and the clubs know this.

Once you have achieved a certain notoriety in porn, (Usually 75+ videos) some girls can become a "pornstar - feature" dancer.

As a feature, you're getting a nice check to walk in the door ..usually with hotel and flights paid for ...add up tips and Polaroid's, T shirts and DVD's let's just put it like this.

Features can make a killing.

Q. I think I'm too fat or too skinny. I don't have a tan. etc.

A. There's is SOME wiggle room in the beginning as a "new girl".

Most of it is fixable. By the time you have run the course as the "new girl" you should be in good shape. So you join a gym.

Q. Am I too Old?

A. Age alone is not a deal breaker as long as you look good.

We have a 42 year old woman who outbooked ALL the 18 yers olds on her trip to LA.

We have a 53 year old woman who got into a magazine and did a couple videos. We still get calls for her.

Bottom line. If you look good in a swimsuit and you know it - that's usually good enough to start. Then you work on it a little.

Q. How much time do I have to devote to a trip if I am new and from out of town?

We usually suggest 10-14 days for your first trip. This allows time for you to settle in, get your portfolio done, get your

medical testing done, get your pictures out to production and still have about 10 "shooting days" left on your schedule.

Q. Hi. Veteran performer here. What can you do for me?

Call us (786) 226-6139 a couple weeks out with current testing and we'll give you the "7 Day L.A Express".

Hit all the major players. In and out with 7-10k + in 7-10 days with plenty of time left for shopping, beaches, and clubbing.

Q. How will I/we get around?

We provide transportation to and from the airports, train and bus stations to the house and to and from any and all of your shoots. People are constantly going out for food, groceries, cigs, the malls etc. You won't be wanting for much. We are close to everything.

Q. Do I/we have to stay with you? Can we stay at a hotel or with friends?

A. Absolutely. There are several nice hotels in the area if you still want pick up / drop off service to and from your shoots.

If you have your own car or local driver and are a industry veteran you are welcome to drive yourself.

Q. Is it ok if I bring my other half or a friend for support when we meet you??

A. Yes of course. We support any arrangement that helps you feel at home and at ease during your time with us.

From the moment you walk in our door, do your paperwork and model profile with our staff until you leave - you can have

any one you like right next to you for support.

Q. Can I bring my significant other or friend to the actual shoots or gigs?

A. Yes again. A "meet and greet" to chat and answer questions for a few minutes is expected and readily accommodated. We understand why you would want to be accompanied to your first shoot(s) and so do they.

We introduce everyone and chat for a few minutes until it's time for girls to get into makeup.

Once the little red "record light" goes on - nobody is allowed on set that does not absolutely have to be there including us.

When it's time to shoot the scene, everybody nonessential OUT. That's the rule.

Q. Can my significant other or friend stay at the model house with me?

Sorry, No. We have to draw the line on that one.

And yes, we have actually tried it on multiple occasions at the behest of the model who assures us her other half or friend is 'the coolest dude'.

It usually ends up causing problems with the other girls in the house after 'the coolest dude' tries to get into the shower with them, etc.

So. Models only at the model house. Thanks.

Q. What do you need to know about me?

First of all: Break out the ID.

You must BE 18 or older with VALID State Issued Photo ID or Driver's License & Social Security Card to prove it.

1. Have you done any adult content production work before? Who, What, Where, When.

2. Are you working with/visited with any companies right NOW? The truth please. It's a small world. We will find out.

3. What limitations do you have? "Do's and Dont's? To ensure quality, we suggest filling out this online application form.

4. What is your availability? If you are a feature dancer, you may only have a 2-3-4 week break, etc.

5. How soon can you get here?

Q. How do I get paid? Do I pay Income Tax? What is your commission or fees?

GETTING PAID: You get paid directly by the production companies that hire you for your shoots. Usually by check. Some are cash.

All checks are payable to you by your real name. We have covered the "you must have 2 forms of ID" already so you will have no problems cashing checks while in town. Some gigs pay "same day" and some "do payroll" and mail checks anywhere from 7-14 days after the shoot.

INCOME TAXES: While all earnings are subject to income tax, more and more companies will take actually take the payroll taxes right out of your check. This is becoming more and more common in California for example.

It varies from company to company and how advanced their accounting process is.

You will receive the proper forms (W-2 and1099) in the mail the following January for you to complete your tax returns.

Q. "Do I have to Audition"?

A. NO. We and the companies in our network hire based on your pictures.

Sometimes they will ask us to run you by their office so they can say hello. This is known as a "GO SEE"

They may ask to take a quick look at you. Some will snap a couple of pictures to attach to your booking sheet. That's it. It's a 3 minute thing.

Q. Will my parents & friends find out?

A. You want the truth right? Good - because we're not going to lie to you or sugarcoat it:

YES - SOMEONE YOU KNOW WILL PROBABLY FIND OUT YOU DID PORN.

In the interests of full disclosure, you should absolutely go into this knowing that eventually SOMEONE is going to put it all together.

If this is a problem for you - we recommend you take a pass. Come back when you don't care.

Q. What steps have been taken to help protect the performers health from STD's such as HIV?

All performers for all shoots we book are tested for HIV as well as other STD's before their first shoot and every 30 days thereafter.

The Adult Industry Medical (AIM) Health Care Foundation was formed to provide support & health resources specific to the Adult Video Industry including testing, counseling, treatment & education for performers and sex industry workers nationwide.

Q. What about Birth Control?

DISCLAIMER: Nothing you see here should be interpreted as giving advice or professional counsel. It qualifies as common sense logic.

OPINION

You should absolutely be on highly effective birth control BEFORE you even start having sex - let alone 'on camera'.

Birth Control is a private matter best discussed with your doctor after a full physical.

You should be candid about your line of work when you see the Doc. TELL YOUR DOCTOR. THEY NEED TO KNOW IN ORDER TO ADVISE YOU.

If you do not have resources to see a private doctor, we have linked to resources below such as Planned Parenthood which may be of help to you and are partially government funded and therefore less expensive.

They now have almost 900 clinics nationwide. Make an appointment with someone and get yourself into the office.
