We have been celebrating our December Cybersocket Stud Matthew Ellis all month long...and we've loved every inch...we mean minute of it. We are so glad that after some time showing off his perfectly sculpted ass on Instagram, he finally dipped his toes into the world of porn. And boy did he. From being gangbanged around the globe to stopping by Sean Cody, he has literally been working his ass off to bring us some truly hot content. He is the THUNDER FROM DOWN UNDER!

In his short time in the adult industry, what has he learned the most? He stopped by to give us his Top 5 Things Matthew Ellis Learned from Porn.
1. It’s important to look at fellow creators as your peers and not as your competition.
This was a point that was really driven home during our time in Brazil. We grow faster if we grow together. There’s always something valuable that you can take away from every creator that you encounter because every one of us has different strengths and weaknesses so it’s really a game of recognizing those and collaborating to make sure that everyone benefits and gets lifted.

2. Respect your customers
It blows my mind how many of my subscribers are completely shocked when I reply to their messages and engage in proper conversations with them. It also blows my mind how many have mentioned other pages that they have followed that engage scam tactics and exist purely to gouge as much money out of people as possible. For me, building trust and connecting with my subscribers is a key priority. At the end of the day, these are the people who are paying our bills, and I recognize the value in a long-term subscriber vs. someone that joins for 1 month, feels disrespected, leaves, and never comes back.
3. Take a focus on quality over quantity
Given we are all essentially running our own businesses and building our own brands, it is important to make sure you are delivering content that you are proud of and you are happy to put your name to. I take my time when planning collabs to make sure that the scene will help to further my brand, and it’s not just a collab for the sake of a collab.

4. If you enjoy yourself, it will show in your work
A comment I receive a lot is that people can really tell I am enjoying myself, which makes watching my scenes all the more enjoyable. If you have lost the joy, I think it’s probably important to take some time and work out why that is, and find a way to bring the joy back to your scenes. I understand that this can be a really stressful and cut-throat industry (unfortunately), but at the end of the day we are not saving lives, we are just fucking. So let’s enjoy it.
5. Be kind to your creators – it’s a hard job
From the outside looking in, creating content appears to be one of the easiest and most enjoyable jobs in the world. However, in reality, we all know that this is not the case at all. It is a constant hustle, and it can be really difficult work especially if you are running your page yourself. Creators wear all hats, and we are responsible for every aspect of the page that you follow. I think this is overlooked by a lot of subscribers, and that might mean that they ultimately expect (and demand) too much from their creators.
