I am NOT talking to content producers who have their stuff stolen and put on tubes, I totally get that!!!

Im talking about people who go on and on saying there is no money in adult because of tubes, xsell scammers etc etc. are killing the industry and scaring away customers.

The truth is, there are FAR more joins being made now that there have ever been (and those making them and taking them know Im right). They are consolidated amongst a smaller group of affiliates and sponsors than they used to be. Sure, 2001 was great for those without a lot of marketing skill. You could close your eyes, trip over your laptop and make 46 sales a day. Like any industry, its easier in the beginning. Things have changed. I talk about it often with those still around. The people who are creative marketers. Who can think outside the box are still around, doing better than ever. The rest have fallen off.

I Am writing this for NEW people to the industry. DONT LISTEN to this BS. There is MUCH more money being made online now than ever, and that trend will continue. You need to be better / different than you did in 2000. Customers can find anything for free, I get it. Its not easy. But if you are good at what you do there is massive amounts of $$$ to be made.

HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL in 2015: If you are new (or old and having trouble because the one meted you know doesn't work anymore) You need to do what people have done to become successful in business from the beginning....GET A MENTOR!! You want to make 200 sales a day?? Surround yourself with those who have what you want. If your new, go to shows, dedicate yourself, meet people. When you find someone who seems to be on the right track, offer to work for them....FOR FREE. Offer your services, maybe they need what you have and you can soak up their knowledge. Maybe you just need to offer to do whatever they need done for little or no pay. I can tell you, as someone who has been around awhile, I get excited when I meet someone who seems to have "it" and wants to learn. Most of the people I know feel the same way. We know that someone with potential who needs a shot, or some guidance is a future partner, affiliate etc etc. The more people in your circle who you trust and work well with, the more opportunities you have to create new products, campaigns, methods, sites etc. Everyone falls into their little niche, the more people around you, the more opportunity to create teams using these different skills and hence, create one more source of revenue.

IMHO anyway
