People are aware of what porn stars do for a living, but I don't think they know much about all of the stuff that goes on here. Again, I don't know what all that stuff is yet, which is why I'm here.

Apart from production and publication, sites, there's little else to tell other than webmastering stuff which is pretty much the same as other online industries. Most webmasters are using the same techniques they would use for selling other products, which is why they can switch from recorded porn to cams, to dating, to pills, to mainstream. And many of them are very small. The main traffic sites are Tubes which give porn away much like Youtube gives films away to get traffic to sell ad space.
That applies to the offline porn industry as well, except back in the day the police were far more interested in what we did and the prosecutions were more often. We produce a product, market and sell it. Production has the greatest difference from producing other products. Producers have to deal with knowing their product intimately, finding models, dealing with them, shooting it correctly for the intended market, then marketing and selling.
I've been in porn since the mid-60s. Skype me paulmarkham1
