Starting a new business successfully.

I'm prompted to write this because of all the threads I see from people who think starting an online porn business/site is easy.

It's the opposite and people should think long and hard about it. This is 2016 and we've had 20+ plus years of online porn.

For a business/site to succeed it has to bring something new and better to the table. Or just shave off a micro-layer from all the others doing the same. Because there are others who have been around for years, successful and have all the elements needed to keep going. Imagine opening a grocery store opposite a Tescos or Ralphs. With products they sell, but far fewer, same price and the same level of service. Will it succeed?

That's the situation every startup porn site faces. Your product has to be different and better than the competitions. How you do that is hard to answer with one rule for all. Because for most people, the solution is beyond their grasp. If it were achievable for all, everyone would do it and we would all be back at square one.

Myfreecam did come up with a new model of camming and made a killing. Then Chaturbate popped up, now there are more and the old model cam sites are dying.

Don't know the first porn Tube, but the same happened. One popped up, then a few more. now there are so many only the top tier make real money.

Same with Teen porn. Barely Legal magazine, then there were 20 in the US.

Girls getting fucked in cars, leg sex, big tits, gonzo, reality, POV, and so on.

The last thing the consumer needs is another site doing what 100s of other sites do.
