But the attention to detail and the level of caring we showed our members, models, photographers, and affiliates was the key to our success. We never worried about making money today. We focused on the long term. I always made sure everyone I did business with was taken care of before I was.

For the time your content wasn't weak for the Internet. It was good. The problem today is paysites are weaker than Tubes all but a few cases because in the main Paysite are doing little different that what you did when you started. Uploading new content that has little theme, personality, character or realism. It's cut and paste content and you can't beat Xhamster and Pornhub at their own game and ask people to pay for it.
Besides the camera, what's and who has changed?

My advice to you all is to take some time to look at your business and think about where you are today and where you’d like to take it in the next 12, 24, 36 months. Write out your vision. Make decisions based on where you want to go. Plan ahead and plot your course. If you are doing the right things then when things change you’ll be better positioned to react to them (in fact in most cases you’ll already be a step ahead). So many people fail to plan ahead and as a result when something changes (visa regs, google, etc) they are completely screwed.

My advice is to think how you will get there by doing the same thing you did 12, 24, 36 months and 6 years ago.
Most here will have moved to pushing traffic at Dating sites and cams. With a falling income. Because most are webmasters and unable to adapt in a way that 100,000 other webmasters can copy them. And there's the problem today. The days of most webmasters are numbered.
The future is about entertaining people. If your site does little more than hoping some passing traffic will click on a link, you're going to suffer. Big
free entertainment sites are making the real money.
Provide value long term and money will follow. Like Google, Youtube, Xhamster, Facebook.
