CHATSWORTH, Calif. — Adult performer Monica Foster, who played "Claire" in X-Play/Hustler's recent porn parody Not the Cosbys XXX, has launched GettingIntoPorn.com — a one-stop resource of information for women currently in, new to, or who are considering entering the porn industry.
"This website has been in the making for a very long time," Foster said. "Officially since around October 2008, which was when I came up with the concept, but unofficially since I've entered the adult entertainment industry as an exotic dancer and webcam girl back in 2002. To my knowledge, there is no other free online resource for women in the porn business such as GettingIntoPorn.com
"When I decided to take a shot at becoming an adult video actress in the porn industry in March of 2008, I did my research. I regularly read through the premier porn industry resources and news websites like AVN.com and Xbiz.com. I subscribed to the adult industry news and gossip blogs. I read through the porn industry discussion forums. I watched AIM's very informative videos Porn 101 and Porn 102 through their website.
"... Though all these resources aided me in helping me piece together an idea as to what to expect when enterting the porn industry as an adult actress. I still was very unprepared for many of the elements of the industry I found myself facing. I hope www.GettingIntoPorn.com can assist women new to porn industry, who are interested in becoming porn actresses to not only have a clear picture as to what to expect, but also in providing some unconventional information as to how to take charge of your career and effective promote and market yourself — especially online which is where the future of porn currently is."
Foster said that actually GettingIntoPorn.com is her second free, adult entertainment industry resource that she has created.
"After I'd been an exotic dancer for a while, I decided to create RedTback.com (Real Exotic Dancers Talk Back) which is a bit of a video blog chronicalling my experiences as an exotic dancers along with some advice and tips for other exotic dancers. I'm still always surprised to receive emails, of which I always reply to, from exotic dancers who ask questions about various Fort Lauderdale and Miami-area clubs (which was where she was living while she was dancing) and about what I would do in certain situations that they encounter while working. Now that GettingIntoPorn.com has been launched I can turn my attention to bringing RedTback.com up to date start broadcasting the sites once-a-week, live show again."
Foster has a few other projects on the horizon as well such as pornworthwatching.com and xxxsimplesites.com.
"I love watching porn. I've been watching porn regularly since I was in high school," she said. "I always felt a little odd about it, especially being a girl, until I became an exotic dancer and met other women who also enjoyed watching porn. I'm a fan of quite a few performers, directors and studios. I 'm also into quite a few niches as well. Being such a fan is probably what brought me into the porn industry. I've decided to start a porn scene and movie review website called PornWorthWatching.com - which I hope to launch late fall 2009. On this site, I'll be reviewing new releases, both online only scenes and feature DVDs. I'll also have links on the site to other porn movie reviews."
She continued, "Being that I'm interested in getting into writing, directing and producing porn movies at some point, I think that regularly reviewing porn movies will sharpen my senses as to what the current trends are and what's just simply sexy. I feel a lot of porn fans (especially other female fans) will value not only a woman's perspective but also a porn performer's perspective on what's hot and what's not.
"XXXsimplesites.com is just a simple website development service I'm starting for the new and established porn performers on a budget who need a simple adult website presence produced. I believe in the concept of performers taking control of their careers. Assisting other pornstars register and start their own official websites for a very reasonable price, that they then own and are in control of is something I'm looking forward to doing.
"Since I've been a performer, I've met quite a few new and established women in porn who really have no idea who to go to or who to trust to build their website. I'd like to become that woman who can help to get them started."
Foster's other recent DVD releases include Lexington Steele's MILF Magnet 4 and Erik Everhard's Breast Meat from Jules Jordan Video. She can also be seen almost daily on her webcam at MonicaF.com, which she built in 2002 and continues to maintain, update and market independently. Members of Club Monica on MonicaF.com get free, one-hour webcam shows weekly.
