This is pretty close to hitting the mark.

You have a lot of people floating around this industry who do not have a collective clue. They were a glorified affiliate manager or alike, that once the music stopped and they did not have a chair,... had to hit the job market. They found out how little they actually knew.

They used to make $50-100k a year, and now are chasing down scraps with more of the same.

I've interviewed plenty of them over the past few years, and most can talk you in circles with just how little they actually know. A true webmaster can actually generate their own traffic, do some level of HTML even if on a small scale, have run pay sites, etc.. Essentially, they are the jack of all trades, and these guys are still chugging away making money.

Adult does not have an eBook tutorial of how to learn to generate your own traffic, link building, running a pay site, affiliate programs, conversions, content shooting and so forth. I am sure if you intern for someone you could learn over time, otherwise, you must read read and read some more.

What I am saying is,... it's a lot of trial and error before you make it. You have to find something that works first, and then replicate it on a scale to make it a living. Most do not have the patience to work for themselves, much less to do it online.
