These days...
 
Ok, we all know what situation is in adult business so I was wondering what would you say someone who wants to try his luck in this biz these days. I remember when I was starting I was working like 2 hours a day and managed to make something out of it. How about these days? Is it possible to srat working 2 hours a day a make nay money worth mentioning? What would you recommend to people wanted to try it out part time?

Step 1: Check your calendar

Step 2: If it says 1998 proceed to step 3

There are no more 2 hour dreams left in adult. It is a full time job, emphasis on the "J-O-B" of it all.

If you want a part time hobby, go get a free wordpress blog and write about your dog or something. You will feel more relaxed and you will probably make more money too.

And yet, here we are, again.....

The internet is yet a baby....the online adult industry is yet, in its youth.

Chicken little has left the building.

What are you talking about? I started in 2000, we could work on avg 2 hrs a day and make close to 6 figures. Now we have to work close to 10 hrs a day to achieve the same thing.
Im not talking out of turn or giving an opinion Im stating personal fact.

If you know a narrow niche well you can still do well with not much time. I've actually thought of selling a little network of sites I have because now is the time to buy a house.

I'll kick myself if I can't buy a house in the next year when prices will never be this low. So, if I sell those and use the money on a house, I'd start up 4 sites again just like them.

In about 2 months I'd be making money off them, more than now in around 4 months because I know so much more about doing everything from scratch.

However if I had to make just a "general" teen or babe site, I would not even try. :rolleyes:

I know that when things get tight you guys manage to pull some very original ideas out of thin air!

And I know you seem to be working the same hours I do.

So who wants to buy my niche network of sites? 9 different domains, 3 top list, forum. Traffic comes from links so no need to worry about SE traffic, although it gets plenty from that too.

They are even all hosted on my own reseller account so you can just take over the account and leave them all right there. First $24,000 gets it! :clapping:

Traffic sites or pay sites?

They are a network of blogs on wordpress. However the main anchor site I have built it up with pages and everything so it's a full site. I have galleries, cartoon pages, crossdresser story pages (that's the niche, crossdressers, sissies and transsexuals), a store and so on.

I make my money off pushing niche paysite sponsors, dating services and webcams. I even sell ad space. I push around 4 dozen different paysites, dating, cam and PPV sites.

All you have to do now is update the post, the rest takes care of itself. If anyone bought it I'd switch all the affiliate links, you'd just have to sign up to all of them.

I can make a months worth of post for all of them in about 3 days, I update each one every 3 days, my main one every other day. Anyone interested email or PM me please.

BTW my main site in in my sig. ;)
