Diversify, diversify, diverisfy!!
You need MULTIPLE income streams. Don't rely on just one or two sponsors or EVEN TYPES of income streams ( ie- only TGP's, AVs etc) and maybe even more importantly markets (mainstream vs adult). You've got to protect yourself from others AND you need to protect yourself from yourself and this is one MAJOR way you can do it!!
It's been said before but it bears repeating--
KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID
Don't be afraid to think outside the box! That may seem to contradict the KISS principle but it most certainly does not. Some of the best money making ideas came from a simplefication of a current model.
Don't be afraid to take risks and if you do what I described above you can afford to take more of them.
Don't be afraid of failure or get discouraged when you do take a risk or start a new project and it doesn't work the way you hoped. You may be able to refine it and even if not you LEARNED something in the process. Use that and move on.
