2) adult affilite VS operating own business - Affiliate is much easier; All you need to do is set up your own sites and try to push traffic. You can do what you want and no one will say boo to you. Open up your program and everything you do is subject to review and approval right here on GFY. Say the wrong thing - lie about one thing here - you'll be called out, crushed, and put out of business. I would imagine owning your own business would have a bigger pay off these days, but not by much. You missed the good days.

3) 'staright' VS gay/lesbian - That's up to you. Gay has always done very well really. But you should push what you are into. If you are into chicks who deep throat, do that. If you are into men who deep throat, do that.

4) hooking up site VS dating site VS cam site with professional models - I work in dating myself so keep in mind my thoughts here might be biased... Dating and cams are becoming bigger and bigger. The Internet has always been full of free porn, and now even more so with tube sites, but live entertainment is always going to be big. Dating too - Every is looking for something.

Good luck.
Respectfully disagree.

1. Amateur porn still dominates the market. The biggest programs still have more amateur than pro and the so-called new glam porn market might seem like the next big thing at the moment but it is pretty much DOA and doesn't stick once people see how boring it tends to be.

2. While I agree that being an affiliate first is a way to get started, I disagree with what you are saying about running a program. Why would he have to worry about people calling him out as a liar if he runs a straightforward and honest program?

3. You don't have to promote only what you are into; although, I do that is true if you are acting as content as well, but when it comes to selling, you just have to be good at figuring out what the customer likes. That can be learned without having to necessarily "be into it".

4. Ok, yes, that is biased and doesn't make sense to me considering how long you have been in this biz. Tell me one major program that doesn't juggle all those - dating, cams, hookups?
