I'm on my way out, I have been making a big shift towards mainstream. I don't see a lot of hope left over here honestly, which is part of the reason I have little interest in going revshare on this project. I have been here for two years though, and through trial and error spent a lot of time figuring out what exactly has worked for me. I'm taking that knowledge, my money, and the majority of my time and investing it into what so far appears to have far more potential for profit in mainstream promotion. At the same time I have stumbled upon a group of floundering bizop folk who are ready and willing to not only pay for my advice and have me step them through a few hoops in getting setup online, but would be more than willing to signup under my refs for hosting, domains, affiliate programs, software, and so on. Why not take that chunk of change that's sitting waiting to be made? I am prepped to charge them well for my time, and there are plenty of opportunities for bonus income on top of that.
I am no longer directing much new effort into adult, maybe 15-20% of my time at this point. So what do I care if I shove a handful of newbie webmasters into the ring with a bit of knowledge to get them going? No matter what you do there are going to be newbs making their way in. So I say bank on a few of them. There's money to be made in education and services. Live support and training is not downloadable like the latest videos from your favorite pornstar. The adult affiliate game is beyond repair, piracy is making it harder and harder to make money on your time. So I'm gonna bank a little extra cash on my way out to put towards better investments which are already paying off far better on that time.
You said it yourself, the adult affiliate game is dying already. You gonna go down with the ship? Or you gonna look into alternative income streams? I started looking elsewhere, and it's already looking alot brighter. There's easier money to be made other ways on time invested.
