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.

Great post. Ultimately an affiliate saying he's marketing is misleading. He
generates traffic, the best affiliates generate traffic with a certain need. Then they send them to a site. If he's using any pictures or videos in the process he's 100% reliant on the quality of the porn, not image definition.
If the affiliates marketing doesn't match the visual content, he fails. If when the the surfer arrives on a tour and doesn't see more content that matched the promises. He doesn't buy. People who buy porn are a tough audience to sell to today.
Most tours fail to convince anyone that the site is worth $30 for 30 days. Or even $30 to download 100s of movies.
We just used excuses to cover up that most tours fail to convert.
