    Best country to be an adult webmaster?

    I'm doing fairly well, earning around $2,000 a week from adult and mainstream combined.

    I'm thinking of moving from the UK to somewhere with less taxes and more sunshine. Preferably with as little beurocracy and redtape as possible too.

    In Europe, Spain is an obvious choice, but taxes and social insurance payments are high. I notice there seem to be a lot of Spain based webmasters here.

    The Czech Republic has 15% tax but gets extremely cold in winter.

    I've read that Uruguay also has low tax. And a nice climate.

    Any suggestions?

    Dubai has a classic business environment but obviously not for adult webmasters.

    I'd love to hear the suggestions too.

            Isn't Indonesia muslim? The trouble with dirt poor places is the health systems are literally.. third world. I want to move to a better climate because I have health problems, and I'm not doing so well yet that I can afford BUPA international.

                    Will you leave UK completely? I tried to move away from my occidental country a few years ago, and it was really a pain in the ass. You had to sell everything, give back your permit, social security, health insurance and never go back home for more than a few weeks per year.

                    Even with that, any judge had the ability to decide a few years later that you did not really left for X,Y reasons... really it was just freaking complicated with no assurance that the taxes won't hit you 10 years later.

                          aha, yes czech republic does sound tempting. I was in Prague earlier this summer and loved it.

                          Is it difficult to set up there, red tape wise?

                              Yea, but 'the further north you go, the uglier they get'.

                                      Just buy some real estate in a sunny country with low taxes and stay there for 6 months and 1 day per year. That way you can legally tax your income there, even if you stay the rest of the time in the UK, for example during the spring-summer time. Check Carribean, for example Bahamas are tax free.

                                        being 4 years in CZ now, i can say that i'm quite happy here. basically it's only the language that sucks, but in prague you will have less problems than i have here in brno.

                                        and when you want to open a company just get a tax accountant or lawyer and let them do the work - a limited requires 200.000 czk deposit (about $10,000) and takes maybe 2 months and a few signatures to set up.

                                        but yeah, winter can get pretty cold

                                          I can't argue with that, it's completely true. In fact it's true with guys too, I'm a normal guy in South East England, but now that I live in North Wales I'm relatively good looking

                                                The world economy is going into the shitter, there is no way to really stop it so I am of the opinion that the USA is probably going to be the best place in the long run as the infrastructure is a lot stronger than in many smaller countries. There are some tax issues but nothing that can't be handled properly if you set things up properly. It is far too easy for some of the smaller governments to latch onto your funds or smply block them than it is in the USA as long as you keep the IRS off your back. Further, so many smaller countries are in or in danger of being in one war or the next or under the foot of some country like Russia which can control things like natural gas at a whim.

                                                If things get realy tough on a world-wide basis, they're going to be a lot tougher abroad than in the USA and at least in the USA I think I could survive even the worst.

                                                Just sayin'.

                                                    Is the satellite connection affordable now ? How much is let's say per month for something similar to high speed connection in USA and Canada ?
                                                    Also, is it stable ?

There are some tax issues but nothing that can't be handled properly if you set things up properly. It is far too easy for some of the smaller governments to latch onto your funds or smply block them than it is in the USA as long as you keep the IRS off your back. Further, so many smaller countries are in or in danger of being in one war or the next or under the foot of some country like Russia which can control things like natural gas at a whim.

                                                        If things get realy tough on a world-wide basis, they're going to be a lot tougher abroad than in the USA and at least in the USA I think I could survive even the worst.

                                                        Just sayin'.

                                                            and when you want to open a company just get a tax accountant or lawyer and let them do the work - a limited requires 200.000 czk deposit (about $10,000) and takes maybe 2 months and a few signatures to set up.

                                                            but yeah, winter can get pretty cold
                                                            You can also register as self employed which cost only 1000 czk.

                                                                        No, I am not "paranoid" at all but very realistic, I think. Look at ir this way; the Middle East is assured of going to shit in the immediate foreseeable future, so that place is off my island. Mexico is already in the shit with internal strife far beyond the ability of its very, very corrupt government to control. The smaller nations near Mexico will suffer from the turmoil in Mexico as well. Indonesia has gone essentially apeshit as it seeks to become the domiant power in the region through the acquisition of nuclear weapons, which is going to screw up most of Southeast Asia and the Pacific nations and we haven't even written of the influence of those nutballs in North Korea who will most likely precipitate anoather "police action" of some kind.

                                                                        Central Europe is far too easily influenced by the Russians and the Russians are changing their mood lately as often as most people change their socks.

                                                                        South America is a hotbed of strife due to both the drug cartels and that lunatic Chavez in Venezuela so I am convinced that even if a global economic depression or near collapse occurs, the USA is going to be the best place to be.

                                                                        Sally.

                                                                            2. The emails you get are from her Newsletter, which is for non-members, and it refers to her members area, not anything to do with promo tools. You must've signed up for it. Unsubscribe from it.
                                                                            3. I allow certain affiliates to create their own tools if they can't wait for the (massive) update upcoming. See #1
                                                                            4. I work 16 hours a day, run 26 websites, an AP, etc etc etc. Don't you ever call ME a lazy bitch, you drunk-ass fuck.
                                                                            5. THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT SO THIS IS WHY IT'S CAPITALIZED. FUCK YOU IF YOU DON'T LIKE HOW I RUN MY BUSINESS. I DON'T WANT YOU AS AN AFFILIATE. FUCK, I'M NOT EVEN SURE YOU ARE AN AFFILIATE "MATE" BUT IF YOU ARE PLEASE STOP.

I know a guy who wanted solar panels on his house but did not want to pay the small increase in real estate tax which could have resulted, so he spent thousands to buy three trailers to place them on and even more to hook them up to his house but by God, he saved about $20 a year in property tax!

Look at ir this way; the Middle East is assured of going to shit in the immediate foreseeable future, so that place is off my island. Mexico is already in the shit with internal strife far beyond the ability of its very, very corrupt government to control. The smaller nations near Mexico will suffer from the turmoil in Mexico as well. Indonesia has gone essentially apeshit as it seeks to become the domiant power in the region through the acquisition of nuclear weapons, which is going to screw up most of Southeast Asia and the Pacific nations and we haven't even written of the influence of those nutballs in North Korea who will most likely precipitate anoather "police action" of some kind.

                                                                                                Central Europe is far too easily influenced by the Russians and the Russians are changing their mood lately as often as most people change their socks.

                                                                                                South America is a hotbed of strife due to both the drug cartels and that lunatic Chavez in Venezuela so I am convinced that even if a global economic depression or near collapse occurs, the USA is going to be the best place to be.
