1) Adapt or die
I have adapted "Crossed the road" in porn more times than most here. In fact the only reason I'm online is because I adapted from offline. Most here think adapting is adopting the latest way of giving away more free content.

2) How to light a set.
Pretty easy today with digital. so it amazes me when people get it wrong.

3) Quality of content is more important than traffic.
Yes, but if your job is only driving traffic and you think all porn is the same. Then it's hard to figure it out. Because to get decent sales you need to get 1,000s of hits to the sponsor and then 10,000 on your site.

Edit: and in the end nobody knows who's right and who's wrong because the big boys who know it all and make a few millions per year aren't posting their secrets in there. I'm just saying that I agree with many things Paul writes. And if he writes something that doesn't make any sense, that only confirms he's just another confused human being.
I sincerely believe there are few of them in online porn. The myth is that there are lots, yet even Lensman only got $9 million for his entire operation and him when sold to Playboy. A very nice sum. If he was making $2 million a year, then it seems small to me. And there's the problem, I have known people who do earn that much and their life style reflects it. Also when they think of business their approach is different to what I see online.

Yes there are a few who earn $2 million a year. But only a few. Probably Mallick did.

And as for not telling anyone how they do it. Well the moment they put it online the secret's out. And as online porn is home for copycats, their secrets are cloned by the lower rungs of the ladder.

For many the key to success was getting into the business in 1998, surviving, learning, adapting and making their fortune before free porn took over. No secrets.
