So when someone comes on here praising how amazing 'mainstream' is MY eyes glaze over because I know that that person doing all the cooing isn't sharing exactly WHAT THE FUCK 'mainstream' they are doing. They just go 'Yay mainstream!!"
So, that's an issue. LOL

Good point but isn't that very similar to "adult"?
Adult can mean paysites, cams, dating, ppc, sextoys... you can promote via galleries, blogs, fansites, pornstar directories, seo pages... hardcore, softcore, erotica, nonnude... u can choose pps or go with revenue share or sell your traffic...
The whole point is the size of the 'mainstream' market is huge. And mainstream doesnt have the stigma that adult does so your "market risk" is minimized. Adult is always under attack and gets no respect.
The size of the "adult" market is but a drop in the bucket when compared to the size of the mainstream market. Which means, smart online marketers such as ourselves
should be able to cut a nice slice of that mainstream $$$ pie for ourselves...
Put it this way, if you can do well in adult then you can do well in mainstream. Nobody is going to tell you exactly what their mainstream moneymakers are just like I'm not going to tell you which of my sites and sponsors I do best with ....but just know the moneymakers are out there -- its up to you to find them. Just like in adult 10 years ago.
