2017 - Find a new career - Porn is dead as we know it.
 

im sitting here and dont know what to do, i have been doing this adult stuff for the past 12 years and this is what I know to do. It could not come in a worst time, since I have a daughter that is 1 yo and I have to take care of a mother(mom of my daughter) that cant take care of herself. She is fuckin squeezing everything out of me...

I really need to find a new career and do some other stuff in my life, im really tired of this adult shit... I want to do something so my daughter could be proud of me;( the hard part is that im in a foreign country and cant work here, only online. Luckily I did save for the bad times, lets hope something good will happen soon or everything will fall apart.

Hope everyone could figure out what they will do if porn really stops selling. Good luck all, we are all humans after all and everyone should have the basic needs to survive.

Getting out of porn - on a porn site,
like a drunk getting on the wagon at a bar :upsidedow:2 cents:
Kind of funny, but I hope u get what u're looking for man - seriously, good luck :thumbsup

Then try your luck in the mainstream.

Try Diet and Gambling niches both have big pps's.

What country do you live in?

Porn will never die ...

im Canadian but been living in SE Asia for 10 years.

You could get a remote job at one of the porn companies.

You probably have many of the skills they need, and you would be cheaper than the locals.

Is not about porn, i have some friends that works online in mainstream and happen the same with them. I think is not about the porn, porn still sell, and sell a lot

Go to college and get some training. a trade maybe?

This is a career?

Like others have suggested, mainstream. Or, why don't you try utilizing the skills I'm sure you've acquired in adult to: build websites, SEO, SEM or try your hand at online consulting/remote marketing?

You could do Media Buying for a major advertiser or marketing agency in SE Asia as there's plenty of them there.

Also, if you can learn how to code (try Udemy, Coursera, Code academy, Khan Academy - all free) and you can make really good $$$ as you can charge per hour. good luck :)

Freelancing seems like an option. Good luck!

quit because it is not easy anymore? don't let the door hit ya...

I guess I should say try selling webcams ...

There are a lot of reasons why business is tough -- but it always has been tough.
There are easy money days that come and go.

Thirty-eight years ago my sales manager said to me for every low point there is a corresponding high point. I kept going ... wasn't that easy.

Expand your opportunities and figure out what you are good at.

I thought this was going to be a thread about Trump.

Stop being a migrant and go back home.

Being an adult affiliate is the same as being a salesman. Find out what's selling and sell it, or work on basic marketing techniques?

Porn isn't dead, it's just a lot more of it and other people found out that it makes money, too, so there's more content available and a lot more people to compete with..

What I'm about to say is totally serious, no joke.

Migrate back to the States and settle in South Dakota who's unemployment is 2.7% and who is so desperate to fill $26-$40 an hour jobs that they are importing workers from overseas.

This will give you time to assimilate back to U.S. culture & a stable high paying job in a low cost of living state & focus on your future out of adult. :thumbsup

After 5 years of living overseas and not setting foot back in the States I know how daunting coming back home is, everything from renewing your passport at the enbassy to getting pets & stuff home to securing a residence. Are you ready to make the jump?

Enjoy hard labor for the rest of your life!

funny, i thought it was dead in 2004 and moved on to other areas online.

good luck man :thumbsup

Reinvent yourself and never give up.

whatever path you choose props for recognizing you need a change. I look at it this way, life is really fucking short and we all only get one go-around. It's a waste to spend 8/10/12 hours a day doing things you don't enjoy, that you're not proud of.

if I were you I'd stop thinking about options in binary 'adult'/'mainstream' terms though. why not think about what you enjoy, your skill sets, your priorities and let the ideas come to you? pre-sorting them into two arbitrary categories serves only to knee-cap your creativity and imagination. which you need, esp living abroad

as far as the 'daughter being proud of you' concern, speaking as one if it helps, it probably won't be a big deal to her either way if you live a life that teaches her kindness, strength, compassion, generosity, accountability, imagination, ethics and reason. you can do that (or lack that) in any field, including adult

wish ya good luck

there is no money in porn :2 cents:

Does sucking cock at the local truck stop count as a trade?

Hey $10 bucks is $10 bucks and it adds up after a whole night! :thumbsup

Yet 12 years later.. Here you are :D

Read a book and learn an easy skill.
Like even just Wordpress development or SEO or Twitter promotion, then start a little side hustle consulting for people.
Start small and as time goes by you'll get better at it and get bigger clients.

Now you got a mainstream "cover" so when people say what do you do, well you own an agency. And by the time your daughter graduates from high school you'll have an amazing business you can hand off to her. :thumbsup

I know of a few people who make megabucks just doing Pinterest consulting for businesses, so it doesnt really matter what you pick as long as you start somewhere and keep forward.

I post here regularly and have pretty much no adult presence at this point.

I've gone in to shooting commercials, music videos, shorts and feature films.

I'd shoot some porn if someone wanted to. We have a Red Scarlet. a BlackMagic Ursa and a few Sony cameras and studio ready to go.

Porn is not dead and probably will continue to sell far after we are dust in the wind, that being said, there is plenty of hope for you. It sounds to me that you got caught up in a family life now and priorities are shifting, perfectly normal. Sad to read she is squeezing all your creativity out of you, if it feels like this I can understand that porn is the blame of the life you have now. But its not a reason to throw away your knowledge, you sound like a person who knows some stuff and this is a great value for your future.

Post a " Hire me " thread, and explain to the industry who you are. Someone will pick it up and continue with you and help you to grow more. I have good hopes for you!

Good luck!

thats the best i have rad today

thx guys, just woke up here, its 6m here in bangkok.,read all the replies and will probably read them 10 times again and take notes. i have to say that you guys on gfy are awesome, thats why i like it here, I agree on many things that have been said.

So you got married to a ladyboi and now have to support all her family?

What were you thinking? Get the fuck out of there while you still can.

Good advice from a good man! :thumbsup

I often think of getting out. But not until I significantly increase my earnings. Besides, I would just be doing pretty much the same thing but selling shoes instead of porn. (Not really, but 'mainstream' is all about selling something.)

Your kid never needs to know what you do. Will she be looking over your shoulder or have access to your computer? Keep the office LOCKED and if she ever asks just say you do computer stuff. Boring computer stuff.

Daddy!!!!!!!! LOL Good luck man!! :)

haha, funny man;) actually mom of my daughter is Filipina minus the dick, just taking a little break from Philippines, that place drives me nuts sometimes, so its good to get away.

If you want inspiration and meet some people from GFY

Affiliate World Asia 2016
5-6 december 2016 • bangkok, thailand
https://affiliateworldconferences.com/asia/

I would certainly go there if i was in bangok.
I am too far away :(

Once in awhile there is a helpful thread in GFY :stoned

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Compound interest op.

Saw the thread title and figured it had to be Paul Markham, surprised it isn't.

you could say that;) I have been doing this for the past 10 years and made a living from it, I had a good life doing this mostly in SE Asia, I lived in Indonesia for 5 + years and was married there unfortunately my wife died from cancer in 2012, I lived in South Africa 1 year in 2005, lived in Thailand for 3 years from 2012 and now live in Philippines for the past 15 months and have a beautiful daughter... All of this paid from porn;) My biggest sponsor was nastydollars and a whitelabel cam site that I still have but now its not getting much sign ups and ND is very bad for me now;(

I used to make 7000 a month with them. I need to re invent myself, I will take some advice that I read on here, it will be very helpful;) If you guys need any tips about traveling in SE Asia, you know who to ask;) and NO I dont like ladyboys.

Thx Nerdy;)

Thx man, good advice;)

it's not surprising that you oppose education

Porn is dying?? People will always look for porn and as long as you have traffic you will be able to make money from ads.

Thx Jesse, your message is well appreciated;)

Thx Ivana, I will look into what you are suggesting me;)

Im up for that anytime, if I go back to Canada, I would sweat my ass off, I have no problem working hard to make ends meet.

guys seem to like to move to SE Asia for the women but never let it go past a pump and dump. these chicks are all just looking for a white guy to support them.
