Question
As i was a young teenager I have always fantasized about being a female porn star and i am now 19 and I am ready to try and get into that industry. Can you give me some tips or help or how to's to get into the porn industry? I am willing to do anything because It is my dream to be a famous female porn star.

Answer
Briell,

The first step is to find an agency you're comfortable working with, and is willing to understand what your likes and dislikes are.  If you research my past posts, you'll find I list several reputable ones.  You can also visit http://www.thefloatingworld.com for good resources.

There are also sites like www.sexyjobs.com and www.adulthire.com where you can create your own listing, but you need to be careful to closely check out the companies that contact you.  My firm has a number of production company connections, and if you're the right fit, we will sometimes help connect talent with the right company.  If you're interested in learning more about that, you can contact me through www.adultwebsitelawyer.com.
