Do you seriously imagine that anyone who is successful has any real secrets from others who understand the field in which they operate? The reality is that you could post a blueprint for your business on the internet and doing so would not dent your income by a cent, nor make many others rich.

Few if any business models are technically complex or especially innovative. One company succeeds while another fails, because of differences in vision or philosophy and the way they are applied. Every single bit of knowledge anyone needs to be successful is right out there in the public domain, but most are content to produce poor copies of what they see someone else doing, instead of taking the trouble to learn and understand for themselves.
Good post as always. What so many here think is porn is like programing and can be done like a "Paint by numbers" exercise. Get x amount of content, y number of affiliates, z traffic and it all falls into place. Porn never was like that and never will be, thankfully.

If I move the market up a bit I educate the affiliate and surfer a bit more and cut out some competition. Because most here will never learn.

made2ordervideos I never said it could not be done, just that it's not easy. OK your business relies on your ability to keep 10 porn models happy. Mind if I don't think that's a sound business plan.
