LOS ANGELES—It may seem like success has come easy to the award-winning Cherie DeVille, but in her latest article for the Daily Beast, she debunks that myth. Her latest piece, “A Porn Star’s Guide to Surviving the Recession,” explains her practical tips in these tough economic times.
Since her start in the industry in 2010, DeVille has been through a previous recession, stolen content on tube sites, and the very recent threat of OnlyFans banning porn. Through it all, she made sure she had a backup plan that included five steps to keep her afloat. These steps are helpful not only to sex workers but "civilians" as well. Cherie explains having more than one stream of income will ensure survival when things continue to change. She strongly encourages saving funds when things are fruitful to create a cushion when cash flow dries up.
With change coming so fast, DeVille points out how adapting is important. Sex workers need to utilize every platform available and look for new marketing tips from every source they can, shes says, and keeping your name out there is extremely important. DeVille suggests constant interaction on social media or sites like LinkedIn. Finally, she touts “The Golden Rule": Treating people with the same respect you expect goes a long way. DeVille points out that burning bridges with production companies will only hurt you in the long run.
Commented DeVille, "Surviving a recession is important to any career, but the nature of sex work comes with its unique obstacles. Being in the industry for over a decade and becoming one of the top stars was not by accident. I followed all my tips myself to get where I am. I want my fellow sex workers and my fans to be successful, and I want to share my advice to help them achieve their goals."
Cherie DeVille is a Brazzers exclusive contract star and is represented by OC Modeling.
