Erotic Empire: Everything I Wish Someone Had Told Me in 1997

Max started making naughty movies in 1997 with a camcorder and a head full of wild ideas. 25+ years later: 100+ films produced, 25 major awards, work broadcast on Canal+ in France, productions across Los Angeles, London, Budapest, Prague, and Florida. He wrote this book so you don't have to learn everything the hard way.

What's in the book

A practical guide covering the full arc of building an adult content business — finding your niche, casting, equipment, platforms, monetization, content strategy, and building repeatable systems that don't depend on you being in the room for every decision.

Written for creators, influencers, producers, and the genuinely curious. Three ways to use it: straight read-through, interactive exercises, or keep it as a reference when a specific question comes up.

Why this book is different

Most adult content advice comes from people who figured out one thing that worked once and turned it into a course. This comes from someone who's been running productions for nearly three decades — and who was doing intimacy consulting before it had a name, making sure everyone on set was comfortable working with who they wanted, doing what they wanted.

That approach wasn't just the right thing to do. It was good business. Sets ran better, talent came back, productions had fewer problems. It still works exactly the same way.

Who it's for

• New creators who don't know where to start (and want to skip the expensive trial-and-error phase)
• Experienced creators who want to level up — better systems, better margins, more control
• Entrepreneurs exploring the adult industry and trying to understand how it actually works
• Anyone curious about the business side of a world that doesn't often get written about honestly

Internationally recognised director Michael Ninn contributed the foreword — describing Max as someone whose fingerprints are on every frame, from the first idea through production, marketing, and distribution.
