B) I sell retail goods. This includes the old shit I've accumulated from 5 decades in this business, items that are used in my videos, sex toys, lingerie for crossdressers and recently I've been selling LPs of the broads. Again it's all sold out of the warehouse.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to criticize you or anyone, but this is one of the saddest things and business models I've ever heard of in my whole life.
I see things from a programmer point of view, so when I approach to the porn market I just think about people having some addicted fun to porn scenes and hot pornstars.
Yours is more a pimp approach, so it sounds very gross and unappliable to me and to my morality.
Anyway I finally understand your critics to this thread. But your job has almost nothing to do with the internet IMHO.

"There is no money in porn"??? Yet I and many others still make six figures from selling porn. Imagine that. Oh wait, you can't. You look for excuses.
If you can sell ice to an eskimo (or Evian to a thirsty customer who could go to a tap and get free water) then you can sell ANYTHING.

You don't get the point.
I'm what you call "a man", cause I'm one of those who still sells half liter Evian bottles to many thirsty customers thanks to a 23 years-old experience in online adult biz.
It happens that Evian wholesaler (MindGeek Inc. if I'm not wrong) started giving away half liter bottles to anyone in order to sell it's new TWO LITERS new big Evian bottles.
And guess what? Evian won't release any 2 liters reseller license to anyone. Byt they will keep the 1/2 liter license to all the resellers whom are still struggling to sell them.
And if it happens that resellers jumping through hoops to sell freebies have a zero profit period, there's a chance to loose the freebies reseller license.
But hey, why the hell customers should get FREE bottles at the hi-tech fingerprint reader kiosk when they could PAY for water at our wooden fleapit? It absolutely makes sense and it's perfectly in-line with notinmybackyard's approach.
Anyway notthing against you, I'm signed up with all of your affiliate programs and I'm doing good with them.
I'm just pointing to the fact that big players are monopolizing the whole marked on webmasters backs and with webmasters' approval.
