We talked about the fact that "Ashley Alexandra Dupré" was already cashing in on fame and fortune from the Internet, and the first figures coming in for her song downloads are at around $206,553, according to the NY Daily News.
The figure is based on over 300,000 people listening to her music on AmieStreet.com, where it quickly increased in price to the top 98 cents each. Each of her two songs - "Move Ya Body" and "What We Want" - reached that price. Artists receive 70 percent of the take, the reason for the figure above.
Now she is also being courted by Hustler, after it was found out that Penthouse tried to get her to take a cover photo shoot for a reported $1 million. Vivid Video, a porn studio, is evidently preparing proposals as well.
While this story is obviously entertaining and interesting, I actually hope Ashley makes a decision to bypass the easy route of quick money through the porn industry, and uses this as an opportunity to leave her lifestyle. That would mean getting some more songs out there and using this short window of fame to leverage her brand.
To go the porn route is a one-way ticket to nowhere. How many people want to hear a prostitute sing? It doesn't work. Hopefully she'll get some quality support and she can make something of herself. The Internet has given her the opportunity if she's willing to take it.

Has anyone out there heard about WideCircles.com. It seems like a way better service then wasting money on PPC. Apparently they are using refering websites ( forums, blogs, wiki, etc. ) and have a viral word of mouth distributed approach to it. My friend told me he got around 100 visits from single post which cost him $0.40c. I am going to give them a try today . In case you are intrested here is it. http://widecircles.com?s=imt1
