Are you still doing well or suffering like most affiliates these days?

Hey,
wow you've got a great memory :-) Well I am still doing adult but obviously its not as lucrative as it was years ago.
Lots more competition for eyeballs and search engine positioning. My income is steadily declining in adult but then so is the time I'm spending promoting adult. Becoming a dad twice in 1 year can certainly be distracting too
I still have adult sponsors that sell like cockwork but i dont want to go the way of BlockBuster and continue to rely 100% on promoting things that people can get for free or cheap elsewhere.
I've since been concentrating more on mainstream projects. It finally hit me that I've built up quite an array of skills and experience/expertise and I'm being silly spending 100% of my time promoting adult - when you think of it, adult is a niche product!
The mainstream market is wider and deeper than adult and there really are a ton of mainstream opportunities that I would be silly not to take advantage of.
Now that everyone and their grandmother has the internet in their hands - all the time - the opportunities are boundless. It requires the same energy and focus as adult but with a bigger market available to you.
It also takes time to build up a mainstream income just like it does in adult but its a more reliable income and makes more sense/cents than relying 100% on an industry that gets no respect the way adult does.
P.S. I find it interesting that google now refuses to take xxx adwords (I was making good profit on those!) but they still show a shitload of torrent results for xxx movie titles. fucking google
P.P.S. I still love promoting adult and seeing beautiful women naked! Always have, always will :-)
