Alot of people in the adult business learn the hard way not to put all their eggs in one basket.
Make sure you don't do this as you build your business....
Think of the eggs as your sites, domains, servers, traffic sources, etc...
Here's a quick story, when I first started out fulltime in the biz I had all my sites and webpages on one virtual server account. I had been working hard for a couple months on building my business. I was building pages/sites, submitting like a nut and doing the things it took to increase my income. I was starting to see the results of my hardwork in the size of my checks.
Then one day my host when down.
My sites where unavailable for almost 2 full days. For 2 days I had ZERO new sales and lost alot of links from people that where linking to me. The fact I had all my eggs in one basket (All my sites with one host company on one server) cost me big time.
Another example was when AdultCheck cutoff the majority of their affiliates. I thought AdultCheck was solid. Thought they would never screw me. I was making a big percentage of my sales/income with AdultCheck and it was like a kick in the nuts when they stopped sending the checks.
Here's a picture of AdultCheck kicking PornHero in the nuts:
... this happened when AdultCheck announced they weren't sending me checks anymore, it was PAINFUL.
So my advice for today is if you are at all serious about having this business support you and give you the good life in the shortest amount of time possible then please make sure you diversify your assets in all aspects.
"Making More, While Working Less" is the idea behind not making the mistake of 'putting all your eggs in one basket...'
It's alot of work to recover from making that mistake!
Apply this rule to EVERYTHING in your business. For example, use more than one host company, build your sites on multiple domain names, use more than one domain name registrar, spread out your traffic to various sponsors, obtain your traffic from more than one traffic source, etc, etc.
Here's a biggie: Backup your data! Invest in a backup drive (about $200). The feeling of "Fuck!" when your harddrive dies or your server is wiped out is unbearable when all it took was backing up your data on a regular basis to avoid that loss of income.
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket" is a lesson I learned the hard way and I urge you to consider it as you build your empire - avoid the same drama I went through!
Build something everyday.
