In case you haven’t noticed, the porn industry is no longer what it was decades ago. The internet spoiled the industry and it became hard to make money from porn because people were no longer willing to spend too much on something that they could easily watch for free on the internet. Thus, DVD sales went down and porn companies were no longer making as much money as they used to.
Just like the music industry, the porn industry also took a major hit because of the internet and with dwindling sales everyone in the porn industry had to reorganize. The producers and directors had to look for other revenue streams but the actors were the most affected, especially those who did not have other revenue generating streams.
However, it was not all gloom because even after playing a major role in the decline of the porn industry, the internet gave rise to the webcam modeling industry and some of the best webcam sites around. . Porn stars who took advantage of this became instant stars working as webcam models because they were already household names. Thus, it meant more money and the ability to be your own boss. For pornstars who did not make the move, they continued making less money doing porn while others quit the business and most went back to school.
How is camming more lucrative than porn?
- More money Unlike porn where you have to wait until a company calls you to do a scene, camming allows you to work as often as you wish. Sometimes actors would wait for up to 3 months before they are invited to do a scene, especially if you are not well known. When you are a webcam model, you can make it your everyday job and you will never be a starving artist. Additionally, camming gives you more income generating streams because you can earn more money by selling merchandise, selling recorded clips and nude photos.
- You don’t have to be nude to be a webcam performer Most webcam models make a lot of money without even getting naked, through the non-nude category. As a pornstar, no one will buy a movie if the actors are not removing their clothes; after all, they want to see good sex.
- You are your own boss In porn, directors will usually match you with a total stranger whom you have very little time to bond and expect you to produce a good movie even if you`re not comfortable with the person. However, in camming, you can perform solo and if you decide to choose a partner it`s either your real-life partner or someone whom you`re comfortable with. Additionally, you choose what you want to do in a show, unlike the porn industry where you have to follow the director`s script. If the viewer wants to make suggestions during your performances, it is up to you to either reject or accept.
- Anonymity It`s hard to be a pornstar and keep it a secret from your close friends and relatives; after all, you`ll have no say as to where the movie will be distributed and who will purchase it. In the camming industry, you can do it all your life and no one will ever know. Most webcam sites have a Geo-blocking tool which allows you to block viewers from a certain state, country or even an entire continent if you want.
If you still make good money doing porn, you don’t have to quit the industry. The best thing is to juggle it up with camming and make more money. As a matter of fact, if you can do both, you diversify your revenue streams which is very important in the current economic unpredictability.

The erotic webcams are much better than the porn videos. I like them because the girls are live and you can interact with them. I think that the future of porn is on webcam.
