Cherie DeVille Shares 'How Pornstars Really Make Their Money'

LOS ANGELES — Multi-XMAs winner Cherie DeVille offers a behind-the-scenes look at the economics of a modern adult career in her advice article, “How Pornstars Really Make Their Money,” now available on her website.

DeVille details how modern stars can expand their footprint beyond a single paycheck, with studio work, clip sales, subscriptions, merchandise, brand partnerships, live appearances, and more.

“Today, performing is still central to what I do (the internet needs its favorite stepmom), but so is managing my brand, content, and relationship with my audience,” she writes. “On-camera work may be the most visible part of the job, but it is no longer the whole business.

“The goal is not to be everywhere. It is to choose parts of the business that work together. Views are flattering. Revenue pays the production bill. Profit keeps the business alive.”
