Out with the Chuck, and in with the Mandy!
Another female in Gay porn, Bec!
She wrote that she had worked there for 4 years or so, took a break to do health care, and is now back.
When I told her I'm 63, she said the health care work she did was Geriatric.
I'm sure didn't mean it in a wrong way, but the reference was odd.
I told her I had told my 35-year old rep once that I was 63, and he hung up on me! And never called again!
Ageism even in customer service?
Yes!
I am thinking AEBN is in deep trouble anyway and the proof is in the new payment system too.
AEBN? Are they still alive? I used to make some decent money with them, but now it's $5 a month if I'm lucky.
I have spent hours, over days, over weeks, fixing links to my 400 VOD video titles, that went live 2005-2013, on 5 VOD sites.
Would you mind sharing those 5 VOD sites? PM if you prefer.Quote:

As for VOD portals:
AEBN is the biggie. HotMovies, GayHotMovies, is next.
TLAVOD is a white label of GayHotMovies, so once you get titles on GHM, you contact TLAVOD and work that out.
XTube hasn't accepted physical DVD submissions for a while, but does accept video uploads from members and sponsors.
GameLink, AdultDVDEmpire, AVR exist.
As much as 10 years ago, when I was getting going with AEBN, GHM, XOD, XTube, AVR, YAPPO, DogGone, I also tried with MaleFlixxx. MaleFlixxx bounced me around like a pinball. Last week as I was busy Googl'ing myself, I found MaleFlixxx taking up space in the Google search results, promoting my studio name on their site, but no titles within it. Got that removed!
Since we're talking studio biz, the 900 pound Gorilla in the room is live Cam sites.
For all of the money we studios invest in HD camera(s), PC or Mac computers, editing software, DVD authoring, postage and shipping or uploading of files to VOD hosts... recruiting and hiring models, scouting and hiring locations and possible support staff to shoot scenes... There are Cam sites.
Some Cam sites are owned by Cam studios, and models are like prostitutes. Most are European or South American, where the models don't know enough international languages like English, to speak with viewers, let alone type readable phrases.
Other Cam sites are there for anyone to broadcast with their $40USD webcam, from their own bedroom, living room, hotel room. Last night, I watched two str8 guys, in various stages of nudity, earn about $2000, for doing 10% of scenes that studio DVDs expect.
Guys tipped 250 tokens, that cost them $25, to get the Cam model to do 5 naked pushups!! 1000 tokens, that cost viewers $100, to "flash" their dicks.
While some loud mouths in the biz have promoted "bareback" - and only "bareback" - videos for years now, the real competition is a pair of str8 guys who drop their undies and compare dick size.
I, too, have earned more being on Cam, than some of my VOD videos have earned. The key here for studios is to use Cam sites to promote their name and brand, even have their models on the studio's Cam, and following the majority of viewers, not just the 2-3 who want to see something in someone's hole.
But, the newest trent in Live Cams is the Ohmibod. A dildo, for women and men, that can vibrate. It is bluetooth enabled device that can respond to tips from viewers of Live Cam sites.
Popular with str8 male Cam models, who know their bodies, and know what their bodies like.
