How do you see the future for porn?
 
Running a business or being self employed demands planning for the future with your business and the industry you work in.

I felt in 2005 that the whole industry was running down, offline was suffering and online wasn't replacing the income. So planned on that basis.

So where do you see online porn going over the next 1 to 5 years?

ow man your getting annoying
I have only been in adult online for just over a year and seen a massive increase in income, If your sites are not making enough money change them or do something different.

This is what I think. I think a handful of people in 2007 gamed the search engines. They realized that free videos (like youtube) got google rankings.

So some people stole as many vids as they could and made tubes.

So from 2008 till today massive stealing going on.

Now... Manwin buys up all tubes, and the stolen and not stolen content, and calls it a biz.

Carry on ladies. I think the next 2 years will be ludicrous law suits.

How am I auppose to steal content now when manwin owns it all and will sick the attorneys on me:( $lol

Adapt or die, just gotta keep up with new trends.

there's a reason why you have your own forum: Not fucking up the main forum with shitty threads. Now you're making threads in the main forum, linking to threads in this retarded forum.

Very true. Sell traffic instead of selling joins. :Oh crap

I see opportunity. Lots of it. Of course, it's different than it was before, and it may be harder to make easy money, but it is not impossible to still make a lot of money. You just have to work harder and smarter.

The herd is being thinned and that is a good thing. Entry level is too low. It needs to be higher again.

I believe all of that will eventually balance out. For most (but probably not all), tube traffic is becoming less and less productive, and you can tell this by how aggressive they are becoming with their ads.

Sooner or later a law will change or a new one passed, and it will change the game once again. There is a reason the biggest tube sites are DESPERATELY trying to license every scene and DVD they can get their hands on right now. They too see the future, and it isn't one full of illegally loaded content.

I think the industry is going to be lot smaller. The internet came and porn exploded. I think the industry cant handle the amount of people working in it. Water seeks its own level. I think porn was a small industry before the net and its going back to that. You add a bad economy and credit card limits decreased.

Yes a lot of those falling off the tree are people who would never of got on it, if the entry lever were tougher.

Doing pretty good this year. Bottom line is looking fat. Now is the time to sell.

Porn consumption definitely exploded. Porn revenue didn't. The money offline never came online. Different reasons, free, unable to pay and able to download so much in a week and cancel without spending anything for months being the top ones.

A small industry? :1orglaugh

Less people making more money without a doubt. But think about it first and do some research.

Will post why I hold this opinion, from working both sides of the fence, later.

What I know is I continue to make more money every year since I started in 2005 and GFY only seems to get more amusing, thanks for that Paul.

I'm shocked we still take money after 4 years of doing nothing. In 2 years for us it will be me selling content via hard drives for peanuts.
