How do you start a porn business?

In: Business Plans, Angel and Venture Capital

Answer:

== Answer ==
On a technical and legal side...Here are some of the laws that you will have to comply with: · 18 U.S.C. 2257: The Federal Adult Disclosure and Labeling law; Including the Amber Alert Laws, H.R. 4472 and the various amendments · Obscenity and Pornography laws; (Both State and Federal) · The D.M.C.A. Digital Millennium Copyright Act · Copyright laws; · Licensing laws; · Trademark laws; · Laws of Publicity and Entertainment law; · A host of state regulations and laws. Now these are not the only laws and regulations you need to comply with but I wanted to give you a flavor for the type of business you are getting into.

If I were a "newbie" thinking about starting this business I would buy every e-book, book and course on the business. That will probably run you around $200.00 total.
I would then I would sit down with a qualified adult filmmaking attorney or go to a legal seminar so that I can cover my legal bases.

After that I would start seriously looking at the different profit models in porn. The porn business is huge and there are more ways than starting an adult website or filming an adult film to make money. Of course those are the most fun.

After deciding on what type of porn business I am comfortable with I would come up with a budget...girls don't get naked for free. I may want to get investors...pretty easy to get men to come up with money to see naked chicks.

Finally, I would be flexible in my business plan. I have seen so many people start this business with rigid business plans and miss opportunities that present themselves along the way.
