Kendra is one of those case studies for why porn performers shouldn’t buy into their own hype. She’s an extremely successful porn performer. But she’s also unable to break the proverbial glass ceiling to crack the mainstream.There are other girls who have as large a following as Kendra (or larger) and they still shoot for studios. Payment for 1 studio scene probably pays less than the PPV from selling something herself but studio content is basically free advertising that keeps a performer relevant and boosts OnlyFans subscriptions
I think OnlyFans pays out weekly but in theory a slow week with few PPV sales/tips could be out earned by 1 week of shooting for multiple companies. OnlyFans should be seen as supplementary income for performers but a lot of girls have backwards thinking and see it as their main.
The cashflow will inevitably drop off over time and should be treated as a retirement/savings fund. Studio paychecks is what should be used to pay bills and buy things (but some girls could also save money by having fans buy things off a wishlist)
Kendra might have also left mainstream porn on bad terms which is why she will likely never return despite false promises she might.
She previously ran a talent agency, Society15 but maybe the work was too overwhelming or she never got popular talent. She eventually sold it to Nina Elle who hasn't done much with the agency either.
I remember when Briana Banks briefly returned she handpicked Kendra & Society15 to represent her for studio bookings but about 6 months later Briana changed her representation to OC Modeling.
Kendra also attempted (and probably still is) to become an influencer and podcaster but I don't think that's been a big success for her which is why she's still producing OnlyFans content because her other ventures aren't as profitable.
Not sure if it has any impact but Kendra was a contract star for Arch Angel Video but the owner/director/producer MimeFreak got metoo'd by a lot of girls (yet he's still around) which might've been a bad look for Kendra for being associated with him.
She tried a podcast, and just isn’t a good enough talker. She’s tried the influencer route a number of times, and fails to realise - her followers want to see her naked. They have little to no interest in her promoting other products, or sharing her views on pretty much anything. The influencer market is flooded, daily.
Her “fame” stems from one market. And that demographic just isn’t interested in following her crossover exploits. They just want to see her getting railed. Leave the other stuff to the “experts”, and focus on what you’re good at honey.
