If you have never watched a good porno, stop reading this post and proceed directly to YouPorn. But if you have watched a good porno you’ll notice that there are certain elements that make a porn star famous and successful, other than them looking good without clothes.
- Tease - in every good porno is a tease. Before they start undressing themselves, they usually start off with a tease, which makes things more interesting. The same goes with business, if you can successfully tease others, they will want what you have and pay you handsomely for it.
- Faking it – porn stars are notorious for faking it when being filmed. But the thing is, most people don’t realize they are faking it. In life sometimes you just have to fake it to make it.
- Dealing with life – no matter what cards they are dealt with (big or small) in life, they always make due with what they have. Instead of complaining, they either try and fix things or just move forward. If you complain about the cards you are dealt, nothing will ever get done. Stop saying “what if” and start fixing.
- Keep on going – whether someone in the film just came or it has been 2 hours since they started having sex, they never seem to be tired. They are continuously willing to give it all they have and they never give up. If you take the same principle with your life, you will accomplish your goals.
- Risk taking – have you noticed that porn stars are usually willing to try new things? If you don’t take risks, you will never gain any new experiences. It doesn’t have to be a big risk, but some risk is better than none.
- Confidence – no matter what you do, you have to seem confident. You think all porn stars are confident when they star in their first film? If they aren’t, they learn to be confident, which is what you have to do.
- Pleasure – many porn stars love their job because they get pleasure out of it. Whatever path you decide to take in life, make sure you are having fun. You are more likely to become famous and succeed when you actually enjoy what you are doing.
- The Release – the last part of a porno usually is the release. Every time a porn star releases, they do it in a big way. Whatever you are trying to achieve, just make sure you do it in a big way, or don’t do it at all.
The next time you decide to watch a porno, don’t just think about them taking off their clothes, but instead look for the elements that make them famous. I know this maybe hard to do, but try giving it a shot.
PS: Dad, if you are reading this, I have never watched a porno in my life.

So now I’m sitting here scratching my head wondering how to fake an SEO release? Good parallel Neil… fun read
db
I almost wrote a similar article called “What internet marketers should have learned from porn” the crux of the article was going to be that different is OK, very different is fantastic. Exploring how Porn has gone huge because of niches.
If you ever write it, let me know. It sounds like it would be a good read.
I’m not quite sure what you’re talking about Neil, time to do some research.
Dude, now that YouPorn has hit QuickSprout, my Internet usage behavior has gone full circle and the next time my girlfriend notices YouPorn in the URL history dropdown, I’ll just show her this post.
THANK YOU!
Seriously, nice comparison. I had no idea they ‘faked it’
LB
I’m glad I could help save you from gettting in trouble. The funny thing is if you show her this URL, she may end up reading this comment and notice you are just addicted to porn.
LOL. I guess you have to be a good friend now and change his name…
lol, hilarious…
Did you really just link to YouPorn, Neil? haha.
You know it! I once talked to both of the YouPorn founders and they were really cool. That’s why I linked to their site instead of any other porn site.
Damn, I can’t be the first to comment today. I had a meeting. Anyways, in business, you need to have a great product (personal brand) and be able to market it effectively. The confidence will be the driving force that allows others to take you seriously and for you to never say die (or quit).
Maybe next time.
HAWT!
And you still live at home?
I think you’re grounded…
BTW, this makes an interesting read after seeing the Pope’s Mass on TV this morning.
Laughing so hard! You’re right. lol
Yea, I still live at home. I am hoping the disclaimer at the end of the post saves me from being grounded.

Thanks for the vote!
haha …
You are making a good excuse to watch porn.
“Honey! I am going to learn new trips and tricks about blogging for money today by watching Porn DVD.”
I think the porn movie is way to long, comparing to our short life.
Regardless we fake or just keep on going in our life, I think we need to enjoy what we do and learn new tricks and positions. Just like they all do the front, rear and up-side-down.
Just don’t get too serious when you watch porn. It’s turn off when I have to think where I need to put my Adsense code and where I need to put my affiliate links, in order to get the best out of it.
At the end, you will feel tired anyway. So relax and have some fun!
I bet this post will get a great hit! Nice job!
LOL, if someone really told their wife that, it would be hilarious. And if your lucky, your wife will just say “lets watch together”.
Just great! I knew all those years of watching porn would eventually pay off….
:-)
You forgot “make your content addictive.” Oh wait, that’s not necessarily a good thing…
Nice addition to the list. If you make things addictive people will never forget and always come back.
By the way, myfreeadultsite.com is the greatest there ever was…not that I’ve ever been there.
Having done marketing and analytics for the porn industry the big thing is most people answer the call to action within 15 minutes…
To close at that number you need a product with the same fulfillment!
Great list, now you need a list of porn sites that people can research from.
Go to TechCrunch and search for “porn”. Most of the community based porn sites have been written on by TechCrunch.

Classic post . . how you linked porn to success and fame . . boggles my mind . . . i think you should switch your career to being a success coach . . like those on tv. They would be way more interesting.
LOL, never had a comment posted by someone with the same name.
I always thought about doing that, it seems fun and rewarding.
We may have to do some research next week in Mexico…. see you in a few days mate!
Sadly, I won’t be there. But let me know how your research goes.
What do you mean you are not coming???
I can’t come.
Too much work and too many trips.
you hav pretty much done what you described in this article, by writing this article. You took the risk of writing this article, you gave us the tease with Jenna’s pic, you really seemed to have enjoyed writing it and finally the ‘post script’ was hilarious.. a great release note.
Never really thought of it that way, but I like your perspective. The sad part about me taking this risk is my Google rankings vanished on certain pages because there is “adult” content on the blog now.
Now this is what i call a real learning something out of a thing considered just a pure source of pleasure, entertainment, and enjoyment. U r my type of a guy who seems to find something of worth from everything that comes in way of life.
Keep it up,
Learnt even more from this post of yours,
