To run a successful in porn studio , know the business from the ground up.

Today's blog is a bit more directed towards the emails I've received from my readers in regards to requesting advice on how to open a porn studio, distribution company, clips store, etc.

I'll tackle the mechanics of the questions once I launch the show / video blog for gettingintoporn.com (which hopefully I will do before the end of 2009). Today I'll start with one rudementary piece of advice: LEARN THE BUSINESS FROM THE GROUND UP.

I'll refer you to a bit of an emotional and personal take on this piece of advice which I wrote on my personal Monica Foster blog (click here).

I've found that the most successful individuals in porn who direct, run studios and/or produce content were at one time not only adult talent's themselves, but have worked in nearly every capacity of the business. Look at studio owners like Sky Blue, Vince Vouyer & Lexington Steele.

In order to be successful and lead in any industry you opt to enter, you need to have a clear and detailed mental picture of everything and every position which is vital to the finished product. You also need to be willing to take on any task (regardless of how unimportant or low on the totem pole it may seem) within that business. If you don't, then you're sure to overlook important details which are crucial.

So before you decide to sink your own money (or someone else's money) into your dream "porn studio" venture - take the time to see if you can handle working nearly each and every position within the porn industry first.
