The class structure is as such: The classes are designed in three basic parts beginning with the lecture, continuing with a shooting class, and finally an editing session. But private independent study is available on a one-on-one basis, and can be custom designed to fit your time and particular interests. Distribution may be discussed as another possible option.

The first day of PornBiz101 is strictly a lecture using printed materials & video examples. It usually goes on for over 5 hours, so do bring plenty of water, pens and paper, as there is no written material at this time. I will exhaust all questions you have, so at the close of the class time you will have complete confidence in working in relationship with others or as a complete independent producer. You are allowed to bring a sound recording device only. I will walk you through chronologically from beginning to end on how to conceptualize, produce, write, direct, shoot, edit, package & market your very own independent adult production.

The lecture will cover all pertinent material enabling you to set up and start your very own X-Rated business with a minimum amount of investment. What equipment & where to purchase it, where to advertise, what to say in the ad, what to pay the girls, what to say to them, how to cast, direct, write a script, block a scene, rehearse, where to shoot, how to get what you need from your actors & actresses in order to accomplish your goals, tech & spec givens, where to sell; contacts to sell your raw footage, online auctions, content brokers, DSL, computer tips and programs, NLE editing, & digital shooting, how to shoot with no cameraman, lighting, how to create your publicity and promotional box cover material, where to print, legalities, genres of x, product lengths, public & private shooting tips. The lecture will begin with excerpts from a PBS special on Pornography, as will be an actual Playboy shoot. You will be given a printed handout with resources for raw materials, free business cards, equipment repair , talent agencies, raw materials, etc.
