Its not all the glamour you may be thinking and there's a reason there rampant drug use. Pay is poor unless you become a big name, think about it, how many porn stars do you know off the top of your head
i watch a shitload of porn and can't name a single pornstar
Yeah, there are two ways to make good money in porn. The first way is to be one of the lucky 0.001% who make it big, and essentially become a household name.
The second is to find a niche, (or even a niche within a niche), and make a name for yourself within that circle. The more taboo ones can be especially lucrative. This will largely depend on your personal kinks and physical traits though, so there’s not a ton of wiggle room in this regard.
There’s a reason so many trans women end up doing porn at some point; There’s a surprisingly big demand for it, and not many trans women to do it. So those who do usually end up making some decent money. Especially if they can find a niche within that niche. Basically, a trans woman may make good money, but a trans woman willing to do weird stuff will likely make even more. It’s also why furries are willing to pay so much for yiff art. Many artists aren’t willing (or practiced enough) to do it, so those who do are able to demand high prices.
