You don't need that much traffic to start building a list. And even small time adult sites are getting enviable amounts of traffic compared to the mainstream folks.
List size isn't even that important. I've juiced 6-figures out of 500-person email lists over the year. It's getting the campaigns to convert that's tricky. Good copy, list segmenting, endless split testing, etc.
As for 'deliverability', yea, there are headaches with adult. And I think barefootsies knows more about the technical stuff than I...but it's really just a matter of having a good server and treating your list respectfully.
I get your point though. Setting this all up and creating winning campaigns year-in, year-out takes a lot of know-how and time. I'm just pointing out...the ROI is there if people will do it.
Or if you're pressed for time, there's an oddball on this forum who for some queer reason really gets off on this stuff.
