IMHO, a lotta people got overexcited about e-commerce.
Venture capitalists showered money on any upstart that was cyberspace-related. The day will come when folks buys anything and everything off the net, but that day is not today or next year.
The press latched onto the legend of the college student who became the millionaire with the wonderful pot of gold know as the Internet. They also helped create the myth of the simple soul who makes millions of dollars selling amateur porn.
Of course there are folks making huge money with net porn but the ones that make good green today have vision, business acumen and the ability to persevere.
Smut will always sell and Internet smut sells best because it brings a product that is socially maligned into the privacy of the home.
The money is there and everyone knows it. That's the problem. Hundreds of thousands of fools jump into this business armed with only that knowlege. No plan, no training, no clue.
I do believe the internet porn market has hit a plateau of sorts. So many adult marketeers depended on the newbie factor. They counted on profiting from the sheer numbers of folks that were buying a computer for the first time. While every, single person in the world does not have a comp, I think everyone that's going to have one is pretty much on their second generation machine right now.
While the market of porn customers regenerates itself with every 18th birthday, the market of Internet newbies will not.
So many of you depend on the innocent newbie and market to their faults. Newbies are a dying breed. Who/how will you market your product when the newbies dissappear?
I by no means believe Internet porn is in danger. I simply believe the field is oversaturated with get-rich-quick dreamers/schemers.
