What exactly IS your niche?

Posted by Kelly Shibari On September - 20 - 2008

niche marketing What exactly IS your niche?Take a look in the mirror. When you see yourself, what do you see? What is the FIRST adjective that you can use to describe yourself?

Adult video is usually categorized in the following niches:

  • Barely Legal
  • Mainstream
  • Busty / Thick
  • BBW
  • Transgender
  • Gay
  • Fetish – Domme
  • Fetish – Sub

Of course, there are many subcategories, either based on race (Asian, African American, Latina, etc) and there are multiple subcategories when you enter Fetish.

Once you’ve figured out what your niche is, I would suggest you search online to see what kind of content is available in that particular niche, to make sure that you have an accurate assessment of what it is that you think you are suited for. There are several “free” porn sites that are perfect for research purposes.

Next, get some stills taken. Most production companies require them, and it’s a good idea to have them just in case you are asked to submit pics for consideration for a booking. What most companies require is:

  • 1 face pic
  • 1 side full body pic
  • 1 frontal full body pic
  • 1 rear full body pic

They are NOT looking for glamour photos. In fact, they would prefer to see you fresh, with no makeup, and no elaborate hairdo. No costumes, no lingerie – what they are looking for is what I would call a “full body mug shot”.  They want to see how your body is built, if you have any tattoos, if it looks like you’ve had plastic surgery, any major scars…you get the drift. They want to see what they might be working with.  So don’t cover it up with anything fancy – that will only alert them that you’re trying to hide something. Trust them in that they have done this enough times with enough girls to know what they will eventually look like with a hair stylist, a makeup artist, lights, wardrobe, and a set.

Got your pics?  OK, next let’s talk about testing.
