Former Disney star Maitland Ward says doing porn helped her find her true self, and she’s now earning six figures a month from it. Before making the jump to porn, she was a Christian who spent her childhood in a Bible-thumping home. But after she became a star in “Boy Meets World,” she decided to try her hand at porn.
Ward has found success in the adult film industry, earning multiple AVN and XBIZ awards. Recently, she released a book, Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me From Hollywood, in which she details her transition from Disney to adult film. In it, she tells how she made her way to the top, and shares what she’s learned from the experience.
When she first started appearing in porn, she was barely noticed by the public. She had been on TV shows a few years before, but her connections in the entertainment industry were fading.
However, her love life was still going strong and she reconnected with her former lover, Terry Baxter, who was a staunch supporter of her sexuality. In a party, she met a lap dancer, and her new lover, who also supported her sexuality, approved of the sexy scenes.
Ward started her career in porn after posting some risqué photos online. Although her photos were eventually removed by her social media platform, her fans suggested she open a Patreon account. Within a week, she had 2800 subscribers, paying up to $300 a month. Since then, Ward has expanded her career and secured a yearly contract with the adult website Deeper.
Maitland Ward has been making money since 2006. The former Disney star first started uploading naughty pictures to social media. Then she starred in her first porno movie, Drive. She said the script was great and the role was different than anything she had portrayed before. The script triggered her to take her porn work more seriously. Now, she’s earning ten times more than she did before.
Ward says her popularity has grown dramatically since joining Patreon. Her videos gained more than 2800 subscribers within a week. She started earning between $15 and $300 a month with her porn videos. She also says she has no regrets about her decision to enter the porn industry. The site offers a platform for porn stars to connect with their fans, and users can send them direct messages.
