LOS ANGELES — Cherie DeVille has penned an opinion piece for The Daily Beast, titled "A Porn Star's Guide to Surviving the Recession," offering practical financial tips for tough economic times.
“Since her start in the industry in 2010, Cherie has been through a previous recession, the emergence of stolen content on tube sites and the very recent threat of OnlyFans banning porn,” a rep noted. “Through it all, Cherie made sure she had a backup plan that included five steps to keep her afloat.”
According to the rep, these steps “are helpful not only to sex workers but ‘civilians’ as well. Cherie explains having more than one stream of income will ensure survival when things continue to change. She strongly encourages saving funds when things are fruitful to create a cushion when cash flow dries up.”
In the face of rapid changes, DeVille writes in the piece, the ability to adapt is crucial. She urges both sex workers and people in other professions to market themselves in any way they can, including utilizing relevant social media platforms like LinkedIn to promote their careers.
"Finally, Cherie touts The Golden Rule," the rep added. "Treating people with the same respect you expect goes a long way; Cherie points out that burning bridges with production companies will only hurt you in the long run."
Although the ability to ride out a recession is important to any career, DeVille noted that sex work presents unique challenges.
“Being in the industry for over a decade, and becoming one of its top stars, was not by accident,” she said. “I followed all my tips myself to get where I am. I want my fellow sex workers and my fans to be successful, and I want to share my advice to help them achieve their goals.”
