Still working, I run a business

I wanted to make a post to keep those of you who follow me up to date. I appreciate your support. I understand many of you get bored and you’ve been reaching out to make small talk, which I appreciate. It’s always nice to hear from all of you. For me, I’d prefer if you told me more about yourself rather than reach out to me to try to get me to talk about myself. I don’t like talking about myself too me. If you follow me on my social media accounts, I’m not a huge “extrovert”. I know that sounds ironic because I have no problem flashing my junk to everyone on camera. But there is a huge difference between interacting with a camera and then having to interact on social media.

I run a small business which has been stalled at the moment, like most small businesses due to covid-19. But unlike most small business, my business is not entitled to any bail out or relief as the relief package specifically excludes anyone who shoots anything considered sexy…sorry instagram models or anybody who has posted skin on the internet.

If you are a business owner, I’m sure you understand how fun it is right now to try to hustle to keep your workers with food in their mouths while you cover your overhead for your business and health. I’m very blessed to have been able to save up and plan however many of the costar and models and crew are not so lucky. It’s painful to know many people are struggling and the relief packages can not or will not help them. Even if some of you can get loans for your business right now I recommend you read the fine print on your deferral. Many banks are expecting a big lump some at the end of the term of your loan. For example, Let say your bank gives you a defferal for 3 months on your building you pay $1000/month on and it is April 1st today. May-June-July 1st, you will ow $3000 lump sum on top of the next lease amount of $1000. If you call your bank, you may be able to set up a payment plan so try to call them NOW!!! You will be put on hold for about 3 hours but trust me, YOU NEED TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN WHTA YOUR EXACT SITUATION IS.

I have been spending my days researching information to pass on to my fellow kinksters. I have been researching ways to keep my business open. I Have been working very very hard, day and night to be creative on ways to keep income coming in so I can keep my doors open. So you will not find me doing webcams or private chats. The short term income from that creates an opportunity cost for me both short term and long term. I chose to work smarter, not harder. Also I want to leave those things open to the models who always do that; where that is their bread and butter. The market is saturated right now with models doing work out videos or webcamming, I do not wish to be in that market. I didn’t do cam shows before and i’m not going to start. My time is much better spent creating content and helping others.

right now porn is not shooting. We are on a voluntary moratorium. The FSC has recommend that models only shoot with their partners or room mates at their own home…..this is a good recommendation. I may be able to shoot in the future if I am able to book couples for my mixed wrestling match. But I will gauge what the CDC and WHO recommend and my professors at my data analytics school are recommending from the stats we are getting in. So that’s what I’m doing. Yes I’m keeping very very busy. Thank you for your support. If you find any helpful information about relief, please email me ariel@ariel-x.com so I can research it and send to others who may need it. Cheers. Be safe.
