The thing is most webmasters were full of bullshit.
Some professed to making loads of money buying crap content cheap, but never progressed above buying crap cheap content and few ever buying new good content to keep the sites alive. But all screamed out the key to success was new exclusive good content.
They told us producers they were making millions from their sites and if we gave them our content they would make us rich. Rarely happened, either they were ripping us off or full of bullshit.
Yes some programs were making a lot of money, their key to success was great content + lots of happy affiliates because the content converted and kept getting produced. But when they approached us they claimed they could only pay a fraction of what we were earning and retaining the copyright to the material.
While some mistakenly thought taking pictures of their wives qualified them to shoot porn!!!!
It's a pity you never grew from driving traffic to having a site like DDF, Sapphic Erotica, etc.
The biggest downfall of online porn is illustrated in this thread. One man bands were able to cobble together a site, drive traffic and make a wage, good or bad. That allowed 100,000s in and they all had to share the people who were already buying porn. From offline where one man bands had to be experts in one field. I can only shoot and sell content. Couldn't edit, print, distribute or sell the magazines. Generally editors, printers, distributors and sellers of magazines couldn't do anything else.
