some people seem to think there is plenty of money to be made circle jerking the surfer.

tough way to go, every day the surfer becomes more sophisticated. think about what the surfer really wants.

make unique and high quality content. think quality, not quantity. go in a different direction. do not clone the content of others. adapt and be a leader, not a follower. constantly test. pay attention to your stats.

do not sell your content to others, make your sites all exclusive content. if people try to steal from you aggressive shut them down.

if you have some sort of artistic sense that will help. spend most of your time creating the content---do not piss away your $ with affiliates. take no partners.

that's the best way to make serious steady $ that will withstand the vagaries of the marketplace.

respect the surfer, and the surfer's intelligence. give the sufer good value.

and the $ will come.
Using good content helps, sometimes.

So he goes and blows $2 to $10 a pic, builds a nice site with 500 great pics costing him $1000. Now his site just wallows in the darkest depth of the internet porn gutter.

Sorry, you aint gonna make money with good content alone. Most of my best moneymaking sites were made from 3 year old pic set from CD's that cost $100 for 2000 pics.

Of course if you run a paysite with exclusive content and promote it well, it should hold members if you do it right (newbies usually won't). Content is a very small part of this biz.
