Working out of your apartment doesn't signify a lack of professionalism on its own -- for a one- or two- man company like it seems he operates, this is the obvious way to operate. Whatever his role is, I envision it being closest to that of a consultant. Leasing office space would be wasteful and inappropriate for what I understand his role to be.

Anyone who does what he does could probably do well with the modern tools of the trade -- an iPhone; maybe a netbook with 3G wireless internet service. Skype and other IM clients would keep him in the loop. Meetings would get held over lunches or beverages on the go.

BDD says there are three ways to make a living in porn, and then proceeds to list four ways.



Overlooking BDD's innumeracy, I would propose that assuming Monstar doesn't fall into the fourth category listed (PR), that he is carving out a new (fifth, unlisted) niche for himself.

Besides all of this, how does any uninvolved layperson judge whether a professional hired by a performer has been beneficial to them? Without access to the performer's financial records or work histories, they're obviously going based on their own internal compass of whether the performer has seen any gain or not from said service provider (and how accurate can that be?).

There are lots of service providers in the marketplace whose wares are hard to measure in tangible ways, don't guarantee results, and still make a good living.
