Porn nowadays is not as stigmatized as it used to, especially with the rise of amateur, self-shot porn sites online. These sites put the power into the model's hands, and you are able to create whatever images turn you on. It can be a powerful experience to share your real sexiest self online!

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer
  • Internet access
  • Digital camera
  • Good light source
  • Props
  1. Step 1

    Search online for amateur porn websites. You'll find amateur sites catering to all sorts of people. For example, VegPorn features only vegetarian and vegan models, while NoFauxxx features models who are genuine--in body and style.

  2. Step 2

    Decide which site you would most like to appear on. Think about the values of the site, the type of people it will attract, the amount exposure you will get and the compensation. Considering each of these factors will help you make the best choice.

  3. Step 3

    Read the website's submission requirements carefully and print out the model agreement if one is posted on their site.

  4. Step 4

    Find a photographer or videographer you are comfortable with. One of the great things about amateur porn is that your lover, your friend or even you can shoot it. You are in complete control of the shoot!

  5. Step 5

    Choose a theme for your shoot. A themed set of photos is much more interesting than random shots. Your theme might revolve around an item of clothing, a piece of furniture, an object, a location or an action. You could even dream up a story to act out.

  6. Step 6

    Stage your shoot. In amateur porn, it's important to let your own personality come through. Do what makes you feel sexy! You can be as soft core or as hard core as you want, as long as it is genuinely erotic for you. Use props or just use yourself.

  7. Step 7

    Review and submit your photos or video. If you like them and they completely satisfy the requirements of the porn site, submit them! Be sure to include all required material in your submission. Check the site to see when you can expect to find out if your work was accepted.

  8. Step 8

    Keep trying! If your first set is rejected, try another set or try submitting elsewhere. When a rejection notice contains feedback, apply that to future photo sets or videos.

Tips & Warnings
  • Poor lighting is one of the main reasons photos are rejected. Test your lighting at the beginning of your shoot.
  • After you get your start on an amateur site, think about starting your own personal site! Browsing models' personal sites, which are often linked to their photos on a public site, will give you ideas.
  • Be sure that the site you submit to is legitimate. Some websites may steal your photos or video and post them without any compensation to you. Read reviews of the site and look at what sites link to them to help you determine the site's legitimacy.
  • Unless the site specifically requests it, do not send an inquiry or a single photo to ask about being a model on the site. Instead, locate their submission guidelines. If they don't have guidelines posted, they are likely not looking for models.
