do you depend on porn business or have a side business too?
 

i am willing to know how many of you run a side business and not fully depend on porn?

It's unwise to put all your eggs in one basket.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Why porn? There is 1001 opportunity in the internet to make money. I have no offline job for more than 15 years and I'm ok with that :)

Adult was my primary income for 6 years - but we saw the writing on the wall and diversified before we reached a downhill financial slope.

It was a very good learning experience, though. If/when I go into a full-time mainstream venture, there's several things I'd do quite different.

what do you do now?

Other than a couple of small personal projects and the occasional 'consulting' job helping a few friends, I am more or less out of porn now.

I haven't depended upon any business for a good few years now but I need something to get my teeth into business wise so I am a franchisee, with Shell, Costa Coffee and Domino's Pizza.

But it's a whole lotta fun putting your cock in multiple holes. :thumbsup

I've been working full time in this industry since 1999.

I work for the city.

Shell, as in gas station and mini-mart?

So is stating the obvious.

I've tried to start up other stuff a few times, but never stuck with it long enough

Last 2 or almost three years, I am also doing "real "job. Didn't plan at first but somehow it happened. Huge project that is taking most of my time and nerves. And that reminded me why real job sucks, actually. Phone calls , waking up early, handling people, paying stuff you don't need online,travelling,etc.

I have a couple of side projects that make money, but my main income is my phone sex biz and creating mp3's. I want my business to become residual income based now. pso is a great income, but telling guys to suck dick for me all day long becomes repetitive ;)

Yes, Royal Dutch Shell to be precise :) I have 9 of them.

Adult is my primary income and we have a dental clinic as well.

Yes I sell porn and I also run a homeless shelter.

I sell porn and also own Dunkin' Donuts (4 of them)
I sell porn and also run 7 Korean nail salons.
I sell porn and also own several meat packing facilities (no jokes please).
I sell porn and also run a Del Taco on weekends.

porn was my main business till 2005, then my side business till 2012 .
now, I do not invest a minute in it , just getting the leftover income as it comes in .
Diverted in real estate plus consultant for major Canadian companies.

I was full time porn from 1988 to 2008. Now live off the pensions and investments.

Real porn, not dating or webmastering.

That's very impressive!!!

I take it you are not in the US. May I ask a few questions I have always wondered about.

When you receive your petro deliveries what is the price based on? That days price? Price when ordered? Can you pre-buy for X amount of time at a fixed price?

Also the convenient items you are selling, do you have to buy them from Shell, or prearranged suppliers?

And some Dominos food stores! Congratulations again!!!

No money in porn anymore. I still get some ccbill checks but that's pretty much all to cover my internet bills.

Fuck this shit. Hire me, I can crop thumbs :)

Ahh...so that's where all those sex-in-a-dental-chair scenes come from.

Always wondered about that.

I am an employee at Brokerbabe but I ran also with a partner a stagparty and event agency in Prague for gods sake I dont have to invest there time!

btw if you come to a potential employer do you explain that you worked in the adult business ?

I didn't wet out to the street and ask for spare change ... yet.

music producing / sound design (for advertisements, video games, films, you name it), since ages. wonder when these 2 worlds can meet.

also..

i used to work in non-adult (BI (business intelligence) content marketing + numerous local startups as product- and project management, copywriting, ux consulting.. Fantastic world out there!), adult was always a funny topic to talk about at interviews, even the most pokerfaced suits turned into curious little kids when adult was mentioned, awkwardly joking around like "can you give me a free account? hahaha" "well.. only if you hire me" :winkwink:

i had much, much more strange reactions when i mentioned i've been learning mandarin chinese for years.

porn is just a part time hobby for me

just porn :)

Just porn for over 11 years now. Owned 2 bar/whorehouse/guesthouse restaurants in Thailand but that was for fun.
