Lack of talent, lack of interest, lack of time, lack of a good business partner... you name it, somebody has probably gone through it.

I'm mainly talking about the award winning stars who seem to be amazing in every film they star in. Just think of ten stars you really like, and then go to their official websites. I bet most of them will have really old updates, be under construction, or be one of those on demand clones. The less popular actresses usually won't even have a website at all. It just seems odd to me that these girls don't care about making some extra money on the side. I guess it makes sense that most pornstars wouldn't be entrepreneurs, it's probably easier to just go to bangbros or whatever and just make some quick cash. Maybe they don't know their fans would support them if they were offering good exclusive content? I'm wondering if I'm alone in this? Does anybody know of any good official websites of top stars? I was just a member at enterbelladonna.com, and I thought it had some great content. Belladonna's official website let's you see what you're getting before you even signup, and it seems like she updates pretty often. [Link] |

I'd want to see the homemade stuff, the real sex... the real pics. I'd want her to write in a journal and let us know what she's been up to, do cam shows, really personalize it. Truth be told... most porn stars don't even have a say in their website. It costs less than $10 for someone to buy a dot com, and you can pick up content from almost any actress and slap together a site and label it "official". These days, selling porn is a lot more difficult than it was 10 years ago. You can't half ass it... and the majority of these porn chicks are. - Swirlie Take the Ass and Feet Tour... [Link] |

How many of them have enough money saved to survive long enough to make their site viable? You need someone to design your site, you need access to some good servers, you need a recognized credit card processor, you need to pay the talent that will apear with you(unless your doing solo stuff), you have to pay for the filming equipment, you have to pay for a director, you have to pay for an editor, and there must be hundreds of other little things that require payment. How many thousand of dollars will a pornstar have to pay just to do the above and then keep doing it for months and possible years before she gets enough money to be able to pay for all her bills from the profit made by her site. If you are working all the time on your site then you can't work for other companies and that's lost income. [Link] |

| pat362 Senior Member 10083 Posts 3/10 | Posted - Oct 31 2010 : 12:38PM I think that if you are updating then you should get money because your site is helping the company make money. I think it would be fair if you get a part of the profit relevant to the traffix your site generates for the network. [Link] |
| Gentleman Jon All-Star Member 1881 Posts 6/05 | Posted - Oct 31 2010 : 8:22PM Some of those performers get their site started, and then soon afterward go into full or semi retirement. Others are just more used to being hired than to booking a location, crew, and any costars. Others just realize that they could easily spend far more for even a solo scene than they are getting in their royalty checks, and decide the economics just don't work for them. It increasingly seems like there is no middle ground in North American based internet porn. It's either content that may not be that fresh or good, but a whole lot of it, by god, and for one low price, or it's a niche, perhaps even a custom made clip, on clips 4 sale for about a dollar a minute.
