I've done shared content shoots and paid shoots.
No issues with either.
I work on the basis that both types will be on the net forever
& used for who knows what.
No concerns.
Shared content shoots had a transient benefit to me
but as time rolls on, my styles change and I felt the older pics no longer represented me.
How long have you escorted?
Is this your only job?
If you have other employment or perceive that you will work in mainstream society
{non escorting, non porn} then porn pics with your face on could surface at any future time.
Oh, how you represent image wise as an escort/budding porn star, is this significantly different to how you look to friends family, work colleagues? ie. would they recognise you from a cursory glance of a selection of pics on a porn site? Would you care?
Shooting with a 'Name' may bring you more invites to shoot shared content with others with their own pay sites, but that's all. Unlikely to increase the volume of punters visiting you.
Least wise no more than pics from a professional shoot where you own full copyright, would.
Do you have or are you considering having a paid site? If not, there is little benefit to you.
A lot less than there is to the other person, who presumably does have a paid site.
You have understandable reservations which are accurate.
If you apply what I've written above to yourself,
and you are concerned, don't shoot.
Who's the known porn star?
Yes I was thinking over much of what you have put here before reading it!
I was trying to weigh up who was benefiting the most from this, whether to feel 'flattered' that I was being asked to take part, or on the other hand whether its a bit
like being asked to work for free....Which doesn't help me as someone who is trying to derive an income solely from escorting.
I note what you're saying that the shoots you were involved in made no difference to your escort income, and I suppose there's a limit to how much I'd potentially gain from sticking
images in a private gallery on AW as well though I thought it might gain me some added interest.
I've only relied on escorting as a 'full time' job since the end of January though have been doing it as a sideline since May last year, I would like to think of it as a longer term thing but hard to see how its going to pan out - I was hoping it would be more profitable than it has been switching to full time.
Being 'recognised' by friends, family or suchlike is a slight worry though as I'm not (well at the moment at least...) a full-time TV I'd say the escort image is somewhat set apart from my normal self.
Its Strap-on Jane who also has another site 'Nylon Jane.' From my own experiences of internet porn pretty well known at the fetish/domination end of the spectrum I think.
