How much do gay actors get for a shot?

Hi,

E.g. on 8teenboy and similar Twink sites all the boys pretty look alike: very thin with huge cocks so I assume US porn producers have a huge pool on guys who are willing to act for them - otherwise I guess we would see a wider "range" on boys.

So to my question: has anobody a clue how much those twinks make for a clip? Is it $500, is it $5000, is it mostly for "fame"?

I'm not willing to open a porn label, I'm just asking myself often how much the get…

Most porn studios pay between 50 to 250 for your first shot. More in the 50 range than 250. You have to be very special to get higher pay.
Then they see how the reaction is to your shoot. If they see your worth the money, they call you back and negotiate higher pay. Some of the top performers make a couple of thousand a day.
But then you also have the seedy side. There are lots of people who will perform for just some drugs.

Just 50 to 250 dollars?  :afr:
I mean: these twinks are all very cute (depending on what you're looking for  ) and only get this little - wow…

Yeah but a lot of first-timers do it for reasons involving narcissism, getting attention, and achieving YOLO-type goals. Then "entry-level" guys beyond that do it for the (better) money and (sometimes) as paid advertising for their more lucrative rentboy jobs.
