Or more accurately, the SALES business.
As I've said before in other threads. Most of us are not paid in e-penis Alexa ranking. We are paid on the SALES of whatever we are peddling.... porn.
I make good money in this industry. But I am a businessman. I am not a photographer. I am not interested in being a top notch photographer, nor branding out beyond my skill set and interest into other niches.
I could care less about my status on some message board with a bunch of unknowns, or what the general industry thinks of my sites and content. It sells to my customer base, and they keep on buying and keeping me in business. My production costs are recouped in 30-45 days. Life is good.
I am in this business to
MAKE MONEY.
Ego, knowing everything, being a BRO.... none of that shit pays my bills. I do not care about it either nor claim to be those things. I am a small niche player, and production company who listens, and reads, and pays attention. I am simply a business man who makes a good living doing what I love in my own specialized hobbies and passions. It is fun with a pay check for me.
