How to get paid doing porn, honestly and after every shoot
Getting paid doing porn with us follows one simple rule: the rate for a scene is agreed at the casting before you agree to that scene, and you are paid after the shoot, with nothing ever charged to you along the way.
Adults only (18+). Applying is free. You never pay us.
Paid per scene, after the shoot
Performers are paid for each recorded scene. You are not paid for applying and you do not pay for applying either. Once a scene is recorded, payment follows by the method and timing confirmed with you in writing at the casting. There is no subscription, no commission taken from you by us and no deposit to hold your place.
- One agreed rate per scene.
- Payment after the shoot.
- Method and timing confirmed in writing.
- No fees, deposits or deductions charged to you.
The rate depends on the scene
We do not publish amounts on this site, and we are honest about why. The rate depends on the type of scene, solo, girl-girl or boy-girl, on the format of the production and on what your limits sheet includes. A number on a landing page would either be misleading for most scenes or invite people to apply for the wrong reasons. Instead, you hear the exact rate for a specific scene at the casting, before you decide whether to agree to it. If the rate does not work for you, you say no and nothing changes for your application.
How payment works from casting to payout
Here is how getting paid doing porn works with us in practice, from the first conversation to the money in your account. The full path of an application is on our how it works page.
- At the casting we describe the scene and tell you the rate for it.
- You decide. Saying no costs you nothing.
- The rate, the payment method and the timing are written into your papers.
- You record the scene with the limits you agreed.
- After the shoot, you are paid as written.
How you are paid
Payment goes to an account in your own name by a method agreed with you at the casting, usually a bank transfer or another method that works in the country where you live. The timing after the shoot is written down before you sign, so you know when to expect it. We never pay or ask to be paid through a third person, and we never ask for your card details. The papers that confirm all of this are described on our porn contract page.
Warning signs on the payment side
Most scams aimed at people who want to get into adult work follow the same pattern: money flows from the candidate to the "agent" instead of the other way round. Learn to spot them, and read our comparison of adult film talent agencies for more detail.
- A fee to register, to be cast or to join a database.
- Paid portfolio shoots as a condition of getting work.
- A deposit for travel, a visa or housing.
- Requests for your card or bank login details.
- Promises of a fixed amount before anyone has seen your ID.
Taxes and your own records
Performers are usually paid as independent workers, which means you may be responsible for your own taxes where you live. We cannot give tax advice, so ask a tax professional in your country how to report this income. Keep your copies of the papers for each scene, they show the agreed rate and the date of the shoot. Your legal name stays out of titles and credits, but it appears in the age and identity records the law requires, explained on our 2257 age verification page.
Getting booked again
Performers who are reliable, clear about their limits and easy to work with are the ones we invite to more scenes. Each new scene has its own casting conversation, its own rate and its own consent.
