3) You own a skate park and want to add a skate shop to the mix.
4) There are other complex reasons for starting an outside business that you wouldn't understand, otherwise you would not have  at the post. For example, having a legit work visa, having a legit company in a country that allows you to buy land / property when starting a company just for buying land is illegal, or even a non-profit foundation that can lower a persons tax burden by... a lot.
5) You finally realized how horrible and damaging this business is and you have made enough money to do something productive with your life. You realize that the delusional people who work in this industry are not only stupid beyond words, but selfish and bottom feeders of the worst kind and you simply don't want to waste another day of your life with the filth and hangers-ons that this low life business breeds.
I'll let YOU figure out which three are my reasons for researching such a business. |
Most of the money I have made in my adult life has come from porn, but back in 2006 I opened a small freight expediting business. I know it's not a skate shop, but you mentioned opening a business outside of porn that would be satisfying to you personally, and this was to me, as my father owned a large cargo airline and running freight was always kind of the family business.
I still own my porn sites and I still send a lot of traffic to sponsors, mostly dating, but that expediting business is my pride and joy. Every time I pick up a new contract I beam, and every time I can get out of the office and run a route myself (we own mostly cargo vans and box trucks, although we did recently buy a semi) I am even more happy. I enjoy the porn biz, but knowing that I can be successful at something else is incredibly satisfying...
