you're the only one. you're going to have to sell yourself traffic, be your own affiliate and shoot your own content then be your own billing company.

Is there more to this story? How many coats of paint did he put on the same ceiling?

I don't sell traffic and rarely buy any, I already shoot my own content and always have done our own billing.

So not much will change.

I'll be around until I'm not anymore. :rasta

Here for the long run.

Can't see myself going anywhere !

I'm not going anywhere. I've been having record months lately

I enjoy what I do, been growing a little bit month-by-month for the last couple of years... I'm just diversifying and building (still adult and dating). If it becomes impossible to make money this way 2-3 years from now, then I'll just do whatever is possible.

What I won't do is sell any of my sites for 3,6,9 months income :1orglaugh

i'll admit, i took my eye off the ball re: my current adult ventures and before i knew it, sales were off and recovering them has proven difficult. that said, i've diversified into mainstream and also have plans to diversify within adult, but i will let the current state of adult affairs play out prior to investing resources into this industry.

:-)

I'm diversifying my portfolio, buying low and selling high. Investing my resources and hording my stash. I took my eye off the ball and and a wizard stole all my cookies.

they all moving to online gambling biz

Whatabout 10 :D

I have been shooting porn since 1991 and I have seen a lot of changes in the biz in that time from VHS & retail store distribution to DVD to the Internet and multimedia. With some foresight, a lot of hard work, advances in technology and due to some long relationships with industry leaders I am thankfully busier than ever at a time when many other producers are stuggling.

I only wish I had more time and manpower to accomplish some of my goals and projects for myself. There is still a lot of opportunity on the horizon for people who really love what they do, produce quality or have a niche and can serve it well. The bottom line is that someone along the way from the hands on content producer to the program owner has to still be excited by porn and what they are creating and know how to market it. Someone has to think of the fans, the end users who actually spend money on porn. A lot of the old school late 1990's & early 2000's adult industry affiliate program owners really never did care about porn per se, and many of them have moved on to mainstream or offline ventures now that it is a lot harder.

In it for long haul.

Yup, I was thinking yesterday while driving...FM radio is 100% Free, but so many of us
choose to listen to satellite radio. And we pay for it.
TV is 100% Free, but 98% of households pay for Cable.
There will be Free porn, but that doesn't mean people still won't take out their credit cards.

Congrats on your success of doing what you love for so long. :thumbsup

We're not going anywhere but what we are doing is embracing the new markets (i.e. cecashmobile) while continuing to support the existing ones.

There is still a ton of business out there and this industry was long overdue for a shakeout. The programs with solid business models will continue to flourish as well as the smart webmasters who continue to work hard at driving traffic.

I'm staying... what could be better than taking photos of naked women and getting paid for doing it?

Making a living off of what you love most. Can't beat that.

I'm staying.. I can't sell a site for even 12 months of income when it will sure enough make at least 3 times that during its lifetime. And I'm still building more porn sites but I never intended to stay in adult forever so sooner or later most of my focus will be on mainstream sites.

I'm so close to retirement age now so I might as well stick around for the last 34 years till it's time to retire :thumbsup

looking at all my options but dont plan to go any were any time soon...

I am here, and gonna stay.

i am here to stay! going to rock this half year to 2011

Stay, me thinks :thumbsup

I am thinking about it and discussing it right now, this is the worst time for me to sell, since Networks with their own traffic are worth it in the comming events, on the other hand if I can get a good price for the Network I would sell it without blinking an eye.

Aint going anywhere.

Left 5 years ago around 2005
started a financial company
doing around 50k perm onth
on track to do around 300k per month for next year
use to spam altavista with subdomains... long way from there
there is definately a world outside of adult

I figure at least 3 more yrs. Ive been doing some form of adult for over 24 yrs now.

I think I'll retire, aged 40. There's only so much of this bullshit a man can take.

I have left.

I have two choices. Keep going, which isn't bad because we we are doing good, or sell if a serious great offer came around. Either way I'm happy.

how about your venture now?

Great positivity in this thread. Keep up the great energy everyone!!!

I hope you didn't forget to turn the light out on your way out, since you were the last one.
