Already be a sex symbol
When Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s sex tape was “leaked,” it became legendary because Pam was already a sex symbol. Thanks to Baywatch, Playboy magazine, the internet and countless calendars, Anderson had done everything but had sex on camera, until honeymooning with rocker Tommy Lee Jones. Trust us when we say Tommy Lee is not the reason millions of people paid to see Pam and Tommy do the wild thing. Farrah Abraham is known for having a kid when she was a teenager and getting plastic surgery done. That may not be enough to carry her sexcapades with porn star James Deen.

Choose your co-star wisely
Remember when Keeping up with the Kardashians first came on E! and a lot of us thought, “Who the hell are the Kardashians, and why are they clogging up my cable channel?” Turns out Ryan Seacrest knew something we didn’t — Kim Kardashian had done the no-pants dance with singer Ray J with a camera running. When the film was “leaked,” the public responded favorably. Conversely, when Hulk Hogan threw down on tape, he did it with his best friend’s wife, while Hogan was married . Not surprisingly, that scenario backfired and became little more than a tacky tabloid sensation.

Negotiate carefully
Marketing is everything! You can’t just look great naked and get busy with someone marginally famous. TMZ reports that Farrah Abraham’s sex tape is for her personal scrapbook but that she would consider selling it for no less than $2 million.
Two million? That’s a fatal amateur move. Kim Kardashian sold the rights to her sex tape for $5 million, and look where she is now. Radar Online reported that Octomom Nadya Suleman thought she’d give Kardashianing a try and made a “sex tape” that she thought she’d retire on. Suleman made two tactical errors. First, the tape was of her having sex with herself and it turns out few people want to see a nether region that’s delivered eight babies.

Hot or gross?
If you’re considering the sex-tape road to fame, let us help with a little game we’ll call “Hot or Gross.”
Kim Kardashian = Hot
Pam Anderson = Hot
Farrah Abraham = She’s probably considered hot, but her porn star co-star James Deen is not
Octomom = Not okay
Hulk Hogan = Also, not okay
Paris Hilton = Again, she’s pretty hot, but Rick Salomon = not so much
John Edwards = We don’t have enough time to explain how and why this is so not okay
There you have it, starlets. We hope this has been helpful.
