How To Make Adult Movies

Every day we receive emails, calls, faxes and sometimes even old fashioned mailed letters asking about filming adult movies.  Most are from people who want to be actors....sadly that is the hardest way of getting into the business and often the least financially satisfying.

My answer is simple and always the same - if you want to really get in the adult industry the best way is to hire yourself.  Click this link to read an article from our sister website www.adultfilmmaking.com on getting started in adult movies and adult websites.

Get Your Adult Industry Questions Answered - Live Call In Days

If you are interested in learning more about the industry please call in on our Open Line Call In Day for more information.

I remember 4 years ago, we met the founders of a little start-up called "X-TUBE". This web site skyrocketed to the top of Internet searches literally overnight after the show.. Just because we made this contact early, we were able to do great business together.

Contacts & The Correct Information Are Everything In This Industry

HERE IS YOUR NEXT OPPORTUNITY: We have finally caught up with client work, and we are opening up our telephone lines Wednesday and Thursday from 1:00 PM - 5:00PM (If you need to make a special telephone appointment, reply to this email and we will set one up for you).

“Special Call In Days” Wednesday & Thursday - Please call only if you are serious (this stuff costs me an arm and a leg). 1-888-412-3858 Please be patient, phone lines tend to get very busy during these call in opportunities.

Here are some tips on how to get the most out of your FREE telephone consultation:

1, Tell the paralegal/ business advisor what your business timeframe is … are you in a hurry to begin, or are you still in the research phase.

2, Take an inventory of your experience. What have you done, or what are you currently doing that you can direct to the development of an adult company (for example: do you have access to models? Do you have technical training with computers, cameras; video equipment? Do you have a background in marketing and promotions?)

3, How much TIME do you have in your current schedule to invest in your new adult company?

4, Do you have partners? (this can affect the legal structure greatly)

5, What is your approximate financial investment (it is OK to start with a low capital budget, but you have to be honest with yourself and have the correct plan)

6, Do you have an “original idea”? This is important: do not reveal your creative or original ideas during your initial call – you must be a member or client BEFORE “attorney / client” privileges are extended to you. Make sure your original ideas are “LOCKED UP” until you are ready to talk to me, or another qualified attorney. ( I see million dollar ideas get stolen all the time).

These are important points to have clear in your mind before you make your phone call. Also, if you schedule requires us to make a special telephone appointment, just reply to this email and we will be happy to accommodate you.

Dedicated to your Success!

THE SUPER BOWL OF ADULT IS ALMOST HERE...WILL YOU BE THERE

THE SUPER BOWL OF ADULT: For those of you who do not yet know, there is a “SuperBowl” event in the adult industry and it is called the AVN Show. It only happens once a year. It combines the most important trade show with the most important Award’s Show (ShowTime even televises the event). And, obviously, it is a great place to meet all the adult celebrities and players in the industry.

I always have clients that exhibit on the show floor, but this year we are adding a new twist … If you are an active client, and would like to exhibit your past of new products and services, we are putting together a cooperative trade show display.

This can give you a bigger budget presence and a fully supportive team too. This is the first time we have ever opened up this opportunity to all members. It is a great chance for you to super-charge your business. This is a very limited opportunity, and one that I can not guarantee will ever be repeated again.

Your chance to exhibit: For those that are interested in exhibiting at this once a year event, respond to this email ASAP (space is limited, and time is short).

Your chance to attend: If you would like to attend the AVN show for research and networking, respond to this email too … we are putting special packages together for all members and clients, so that you get full access to the most important parties and other social/ networking events.

And Don’t forget! Register for Our Upcoming Live FREE Web Seminar - This is a live event were you will hear from real industry experts live on how they succeeded in the industry. I have always believed that if someone shows me how they did something I can learn it to.

Adult Industry Legal Issues - Week In Review

Adult Business & Legal Week In Review

SPECIAL REMINDER - Before we get started on the week in review - Have you registered for next week’s premium Webinar? I will have technology experts demonstrate how the “I phone,” and other “smart phones” are revolutionizing the adult marketplace. There will be BILLIONS of smart phones in the world within the next 24 months.

This is a must see seminar for anyone serious about participating in the future adult business. Simply Register by calling 1-888-413-3858

Adult Business Week In Review

Strategy meeting with a client and an International Billing Expert: (Be careful, there are likely radical changes awaiting everybody in the very near future) Recently I had a strategy meeting with an International Billing Expert. One of my clients wants to attack the worldwide Internet market and so should you nearly 1/3 of the world will be online by the end of 2010.

( ASK YOURSELF! How Can You Take Advantage Of The International Market For Adult Content?)

Special Notes for all Active Members and Clients: The real money is in the ONLINE side of the industry … that is where large scalable opportunities are. Balance creative production and niche development with creative marketing and niche promotions – that is KEY. DVDs and other traditional, old fashion business segments are viable, but are not as attractive as the new frontier of technology driven content. Clients need to be a part of this in order to be successful in the future – and the future is right around the corner.

WEDNESDAY: Had lunch with Tony Batman who runs A- Entertainment News (Think of the E- Entertainment T.V. show just with adult celebrities). Closed a nationwide promotional that takes advantage of Tony and the Adult Industry’s special events and Club visits. This guy touches thousands of loyal adult consumers every week. (How many of you could take advantage of this?).

Special Notes for all Active Members and Clients: Promotion and Marketing is the most overlooked aspect of most people’s adult business plan. The good news is that it is easy to leverage our relationships in the industry. I have to remind my clients not to be lazy with marketing and promotions.

THURSDAY: Private Business Development Meeting with one of the earliest and most successful online adult businessman.

If you remember the Paris Hilton’s Sex Tapes? … this is the guy who did that deal. He had the experience and great vision to obtain that tape before Paris Hilton was famous. He had information on some very interesting MACRO-TRENDS are happening in the online adult marketplace … things that will re-set the entire traffic / revenue equation. This particular guy is excited about a new “Final Hoorah” Business venture.

Special Notes for all Active Members and Clients: Often times people ask me with a lowered voice – as if there is a secret to be shared – “AJ is there REALLY good opportunities in the adult industry today? Well, here is a guy that has made millions over and over and over again … and he is more excited about his current project than anything else he has done before. Also, look how the celebrity sex tape gimmick made millions – but be careful about the legal issues before you do anything let’s talk privately.

FRIDAY: Conference with the owner of an Adult Network Marketing Company
(think Amway ® but for adult). Cut deal for a “traffic trade” between our high traffic web sites. It is a classic Win / Win. This will grow both of our business immediately.

Special Notes for all Active Members and Clients: He also gave me a very interesting statistic – the majority of the people signing up for the network marketing program are WOMEN– I recommend to all my clients to always be aware of the trends and numbers —they are your money source. Women and couples are increasingly becoming a big part of the adult consumer.

Legal Issues Of The Week

First Big Legal Issue - Pornotopia once again battles the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico for a venue in which to hold its annual erotic film festival. Pornotopia, which is scheduled for Nov. 5-7, is no longer welcome at its previous home, the Guild Theater in Nob Hill. The city has stated that the site is not zoned for adult entertainment, the organizers have been told. Similar zoning issues threatened the festival during its inaugural year in 2007, until lawyers for the ACLU intervened

How does this affect you? If you are running a web cam studio, production studio or other similar adult business you are subject to the zoning laws of your area. I have had law enforcement enter my adult clients businesses to check for zoning compliance. Obviously they were also on fishing expedition. Over the years I have developed legal strategies to comply with these zoning issues and if you have any questions or concerns on the legal status of your adult business you should make contact with my office.

Second Legal Concept Of The Week – In the past few weeks I have had clients ask me the following questions:

Legal Question: – If I hire a web designer or consultant can this person steal my idea, concept or sell my videos or pictures.

Answer: Proper use of contracts between you and your vendors, consultants, video people and web designers is of extreme importance. Protect your ideas like you would protect the money in your bank account or cash in your wallet.

LOCK UP YOUR IDEAS! - DO NOT DISCLOSE YOUR IDEA OR CONCEPT to anyone until you have the proper legal contracts signed. Also, I have seen so called – Adult Business Consultants sign non-disclosures and non-competes and then go ahead and steal or use the idea to compete. Suing someone is expensive it is better to use preventative law. We have developed a legal strategy to protect your ideas – ask us. This deserves repeating! You must know who you are doing business with this is your first line of defense –

Doing business with the wrong person in this industry can ruin your business, your reputation and your chance of ever making it in the industry – Don’t make this mistake

Featured Success Story Of The Week:


www.ejokesforguys.com

Check out this new site just now coming on market … it is a slightly naughty version of “Hallmark greeting cards meets The Office.” ejokesforguys.com“ This is the kind of web site that could “go organic” and grow exponentially in a very short time … I love the innovation.

I am also very proud that this business was born at our Punta Cana seminar last year. It took great care and attention to finally come to life but again, this business has all the telltale signs of a big success. Look for yourself and see what you can take and use in your own business plan.

NEXT WEEK’S IMPORTANT EVENTS AND DATES:

IMPORTANT - don’t forget to register for our upcoming Premium Client Webinar (only those that register will be sent a complimentary recorded version). Click this link to register now –

NEXT WEEK – having my monthly meeting with the owner of Clips4Sale (I call him the 100 Million Dollar Man, because of his company’s success) He always gives me some up-to-date and pertinent information on what is selling and what is not – Stay Tuned.

****************************
Legal Tip Of The Day - KEEP IT A SECRET
****************************
Many people want to enjoy the benefits
of the adult industry...fun, profit, sexy people
etc....while having their identities remain private.

I always tell my clients it is better to fly
under the radar screen in this industry.

Now the real issue is:

HOW DO YOU DO IT?

In this electronic age, it is so easy to just
do a little research and find out information
on anybody.

BE CAREFUL!!!

My smart clients already know the tricks to
protect their real identities ... Do You?

Over the past ten years, my office has represented
many high net worth individuals who wanted to own
adult companies. But they also protected their privacy.

I counsel everyone to protect their identities. It is a
good practice to keep your business affairs private.

Feel free to contact our office to discuss these techniques
and strategies. 888-412-3858

How To Legally Hire Hot, Beautiful, Sexy, Women & Men To Star In Your Adult Films.....

Did you know that if you are not using my legal method for interviewing adult models that you could be arrested....Adult Film Attorney A.J. Comparetto is holding a FREE Web Seminar that will teach you the legally correct method for interviewing potential adult film stars so you avoid legal problems....

From: A.J. Comparetto, Esq.
Tuesday 9:32 P.M.


Dear Friend,

I want you to imagine yourself interviewing one of the hottest, sexiest porn stars you could imagine....who wants to star in the adult film you are getting ready to shoot. You are having a hard time asking the interview questions as you look at this sexy thing....You can't believe your luck.

Not to long ago you dreamed of filming super hot women (or men if that is what turns you on) in super hot sex scenes. Now you are interviewing the girl of your dreams and she is hanging on your every word. You quickly ask her the question...."will she star in your upcoming film." She parts her wet lips, her chest slightly heaves as these words come out of your mouth.
  • "You are under arrest for solicitation of prostitution"...
  • "You have the right to remain silent"...
  • "You have the right to an attorney"....

Your fantasy is shattered because you did not understand that interviewing models for adult films is a legal event that can get you arrested. Your adult film career is over before it has even started.

Now if you think this is a "made up story" or some fanciful concoction you need to think again. Just three months ago, I was speaking with a new adult filmmaker who said he had been "set up" and arrested in this very scenario.
Sadly, I told him that if he had followed my simple method of legally interviewing adult models and actresses that he could have prevented his arrest.

Remember, you can have a great biz and make one legal mistake and in a flash you are in jail and your money is gone. You must stay 1000% compliant with all laws to run a successful adult film business.

Next week, I will be doing a FREE web-seminar on:

'How To Legally Hire Attractive Women & Men For Your Adult Films.'
Here is how you can attend this important FREE web-seminar:

1 - A web-seminar is a private, password protected seminar that you can attend from the privacy of your own home on your computer or even your telephone. Very convenient, very easy and very informative.


2 - To attend you have to go to http://www.adultfilmmaking.com/. You will need to register with your name and email and we will send you a passcode by email. We will also send you our FREE Adult Filmmaking Legal Newsletter. Really, if you are serious about the biz you need to be getting this information every single month...without fail.

Dedicated to helping you succeed in the biz,
