How hard could it be to create a profitable porn company

It’s the business model that’s the problem. Free porn. Maybe there’s a little bit of revenue from advertisement, but not enough to pay the electric bill. So, online sites steal the videos and put their servers in countries where the producers can’t sue.

There are niches that can be profitable. Extreme fetishes, live video hardcore porn, or just push an extreme amount of volume...

I think @Icey knows so much about this because he spends alot on the Homo DP niche.

Making decent content is easy if your somewhere with a decent talent base. Getting a slice of the people willing to pay for your product is the hard part.

I don't see how you make money off of it. Everything's been done and it's all available for free. You can try 4k or 3d but who owns those kinds of televisions/monitors.

My, uh, friend is big-time porn aficionado and he tells me there are a lot of premium sites that charge about $30 a month so, but he doesn't believe they have more than a handful of subscribers. There is so much free porn available that there is no need to piss away even a few bucks for wank material. He's not sure how porn stars make any money these days with so much free and amateur stuff available.

I spent an hour tonight looking at clps4sale.com. They have an interesting model. If you pay a fee, you can open your own page. They specialize in fetishes. So if you like sucking dirty toes you make up an introductory page which anyone can see. You then produce your own video or audio, describe it and set the price to view it. I saw one hour movies for 59.95 and I saw 2-3 minute clips for 4.95. I’m unsure how access to a product is done, but it has potential to produce income.
I know a young couple who are handsome and are loving some crazy shit. They sent me a couple of 10 minute videos - the first has her sitting on his face for a good part of it, then he goes to fuck her ass, but needs lube and is off camera while she’s kneeling with her ass up in the air. He finally sodomizes her and she screams out in pain. The second one starts with her sucking his dick ( a bit longer than average) and then he starts thrusting into her throat hitting the back making her gag ( funny, she never gagged on my dick) He then goes to town pounding her asshole with her crying out in pain. The they get in a missionary position and she takes a pounding there. He then spits in her face and calls her a dirty fucking whore.
I talked with her after watching and asked if she was okay with it. Her reply - I don’t like it; I love it!
Something for everyone.

If your content is very good, sites like pornhub will pay a lot of money and offer it on their paid services.

There are many free porn repositories on the web now - with pornhub, xhamster, etc. So my thought is that the competition for paid subscribers must be intense.

I think it requires one to develop a dedicated following - which requires time and effort. I think that's why models use spots like chaturbate - as the infrastructure is in place - and they simply need to get naked and pay a fee to the host.

So I think it must be very difficult to be profitable.

If it were difficult to be profitable there wouldn't be that many and more wouldn't keep popping up. Note than a single company may own the rights to certain movies and own several websites. Porn is profitable once you get into distribution and production.

As a business, with the over abundance of free porn available, creating a profitable company would be extremely challenging.

There are niche, fetish, cam, and specialty companies but the main stream is saturated.

But of course you need a high enough volume as well.

I don't know how hard it would be, but I know trying would be a complete blast!
