I will toss in my :2 cents: here.
This is from almost 9 years of running the same website, talking to others and helping others with their sites when they had problems. My conversations with other amateur sites have always been very blunt and honest, not the glamour, advertising stuff that people say on here.
The solo girl craze (I have not personally noticed it any more then usual) is nothing new, there has always been people who thought it was the best and easiest way to make money. The reasoning behind it, which I have always thought was flawed, still exists and has been stated in this thread. Thats model of having xx amount of sites, and making xx amount of sales per day to each and the outcome ,making lots of money. Some people can do this, most cant, as with any business. The reason I think its flawed is because if you cant get traffic to one site, you damn sure are not going to get it to 100 sites. I know allot of people who tried this and 99% of them have shut down.
But in general, most sites, not only solo girl or amateur, barely make it, if they make it at all. Even allot of the sites you all hold up and icons and who you envy and try to copy, you would probably be surprised to know the truth - and to me, the truth is not how much a site makes, its how much it actually poskets as profit.
the future of sologirl sites is the same as its past. Few will make great money, some will make allot, most will hardly make it.
