I was trying to think of other adult stars who are really good at marketing themselves. And was wondering if you guys had any thoughts? By far Jenna Jameson is #1. The other ones that comes to mind is Tera Patrick. There are a lot of other stars like Briana Banks, Krystal Steal, but Jenna has helped market them.

I think one star who could be a bigger name in porn is Tabitha Stevens, she is a Stern regular. And with the right people, she could be a "bigger name" She has a fun personality.

Jenna Jameson really knew how to market herself so well. I think one key is she "keeps" herself limited. She hasn't done a ton of movies.

I have heard Tera Patrick speak she is very articulate as well.

Belladonna is also pretty good at marketing.

She's crossed over to directing and it seems like she's been very sucesfull in directing girl-girl movies.

I hope she get's back to doing guys again, and the she direct some good movies that isn't only girl girl.

another good one is Gina Lynn. There are a lot of legendary performers, not so much if its great marketing just been around for awhile.

Not himself, but his movies.

Skeeter Kerkove.

I'm sure his funny hype caused many a porn viewer to rent or buy one of his films. "It's a love story of epic proportions".

Tera Patrick wasn't good at marketing herself, Digital Playground was. They made her. She's best with her mouth closed, because she comes off as very smug in spoken interviews. In print interviews, she's also questionable, because her story about her origins changes literally each time and really doesn't make any sense when logically perused.
Right now, she's coasting on the tatters of her Digital Playground success and reputation. Her sales are down and her bargaining power in decreasing. Tera is no Jenna and Spyder, her partner, is no Jay Grdina. She is very vulnerable in the business savvy department and I don't see a good future for her.

Tabitha hasn't done a porn movie in four or five years. Her Stern appearances help her promote her feature dance appearances and whatever else she does on the side.

Don't mistake Belladonna's appearance on 20/20 as 'good as marketing'. She was mislead as to the nature of the appearance and it turned out to be the typical mainstream media special on how 'Porn Is Bad'. ABC used her to get ratings and after Bella refused a followup interview, they actually had a guy go undercover posing as a fan with a camcorder at an Alabama porn store signing asking her,'What are you up to now?' She should have sued them.
