Seems like everyone is bailing out of the Biz - So who is staying...
 

And riding this baby all the way through.
Hope I'm not the only one. :Oh crap

i'm debating, cuz right now would be a really good time for me to sell

Meeze in and full time.

Sally.

Good time for the buyers, or good time for you? What makes its a good?

I suppose it's a good time as it will be worth even less next year...

I'm here, about to launch a new site

Im launching more sites than ever before.

well, both. i've got a few things going in mobile niche. ok money and i could expand on it but the industry climate makes it iffy, so 'selling high' while mobile is still hot is an option

I'm not going anywhere anytime soon... :thumbsup

Well I ain't going anywhere, neither is Tushycash :) We have something so fucking awesome that's coming out it will be the next big thing! Mark my words!

I am not going anywhere.

Things could get 10X's worse, and I can still make money shooting new content and running the stores and sites. If you know how to do your shoots right, and control costs, you easily make 1000 x's profit over the years. The content game is a delicious money maker.

Looks like I will be one of the last one's standing with everyone bailing out.
:pimp

Still here, and growing in leaps and bounds. It's amazing what one person can accomplish if they NEVER STOP, like a fucking Pac-Man.

Wooka wooka wooka!

If you think outside the box you can make money.

I'm not going anywhere, but only because I'm not accepted anywhere else :Oh crap

I'm staying ... unless I am the last one out and have to turn off the lights.

I'm living on royalties from this business and enjoying life a little bit this year. To hell with working so hard :)

I'll be here for years to come.

So you actually are doing that? I remember you telling me you were going to do that. You told me that while you were sitting in your office at 3 AM. :1orglaugh

If you decide to sell your mobile stuff give me a hollar.

Hey buddy - I'm not bailing immediately but I'm definitely making plans to move on. I'm finding less and less loyalty among content buyers these days and it's kinda like a big ol' slap in the face. Hey, It's been a fun ride for sure....but I'm ready for the next chapter :thumbsup

Great having lunch with you a few weeks back - let's do it again soon my friend :thumbsup

I'm watching Jersey shore on the couch and getting ready to hit the beach tomorrow morning. Summers=Slow :)

Yeah I am still living off royalties from 10 years ago

I'm in it for the looooong haul, and right now I'm getting back to my roots so to speak,

Got a lot of new things in the works, and very soon I'm be bringing the 3D Toon niche to a whole new level!

-Loki-

wow??? you mean people are leaving??? OMG why???

What many need to do is stop looking at all the negatives in the industry and focus your attention on the positives and capitalize on them. Constantly worrying about "what if" will do nothing, but make your situation worse. There's still plenty of money to be made in this industry no matter how bad things may look. it's all about what you do and how you do it. I've had many ups and downs in this business in the last 13 years, but never once have I given up and I'm not about to start now.

It has already been mentioned in this thread, but think out of the box.

I'm semi retired. Not sure if I'll ever shoot again. Just selling what we did shoot for the last 20 years.

So long as there's money to be made the stores will stay open.

Then I might post just to pass the time. :)

who is bailing out? you mean those few people who are lazy or dont want to make money the hard way so are selling and running like a little kids? :upsidedow

I imagine many of the half-assed will leave and many of the hard-working will stay. Hopefully so - I'd LIKE to keep selling adult domains but mainstream's been much better lately.

this is like a monthly thread just with stupider people.

I'm in, but I will be doing things differently. I need to start applying everything I've learned over the past several years visiting GFY. Yes, believe it or not, if you can get past the drama there is a lot of useful information to be had.

yawn
enough with the negative threads

and ruin the spirit of GFY???


Sabby:)

I'm very unhappy with the state of the industry and the direction it's headed, but I'm still here.

same here... sigh

If you're not willing to give it your all you'll just drift in mediocrity. If that's the case get out now and try not to 1/2 ass the next thing you try.

same here

i'm too old to do anything else....

as long as they still bring in money, I'm keeping my online businesses alive.

I have 5 yrs of cam left in me.,,(before I look 30 lol) im gonna open some businesses in the fraser valley when I retire .. either coffee franchises or hair/nail salons.


Hopefuly my son will be out of university by then and making $100k yr as a pharmasist. He'll invest in me.
