Never the less, I agree, everything you said are things newcomers will have to weigh out when thinking of partnering to decide if it's really worth it to them in the end.
And you're absolutely right about Ruseful and his openess to educate others on how he was able to succeed. But you still have to remember that he had extensive prior experience in his field. And although putting that experience to words for other's to follow is great, even that may not be enough in the end. If I'm not mistaken he said he ran that tube site for 4yrs. When you know the ins and outs of how the tubes work 1st hand, that experience goes a long way towards ones ability. And thus it may not be a template that everyone can follow. We don't know how much of success in JT's model is weighted on ones experience/ability with tubes and their users, as opposed to being able to follow guide/plan correctly.
Is he the first to actually go that route from scratch, relying primarily on the tubes to generate traffic? It no doubt seems to be a great path model. Could very well be the new industry path model of the future. I would like to see if any other starters can actually use it with a fair measure of success though before we brand it as such.
Looking back I guess I should've just said there's pluses and minuses to everything.
True, it's not supposed to be easy, but it's not supposed to be impossible either. Lot's of people start mainstream businesses all the time from scratch without any prior experience and are able to become successful. A lot fail, sure. But there are also a lot of success stories out there.
I was simply asking where are all the success stories for recent newcomers doing the same in adult.

Ok, if a newb is able to come to a board like this and pay nothing for valuable firsthand knowledge from someone like Ruseful, Barefootsies, WA, or any other experienced person willing to help lend a hand, then doesn't that actually prove my point?
It is like you think there is some wall to success just because the person is a newb but that just isn't true. There is amazing access to plentiful information on how to succeed but most will choose either to ignore it or never look for it in the first place. Ruseful didn't know anything about adult when he started. He is willing to pass that on to help someone else. Doesn't that mean others could achieve similar results? Most won't, of course, but it has nothing to do with the market and more to do with their business skills and work ethic I guarantee.
For example, being successful on tubes is not rocket science and it is not some secret which only the initiated are privy to; it comes down to doing research, analyzing data, and refining the pitch while providing steady content for more exposure. Lather, rinse, repeat. It is work that many don't want to do, especially most content producers that tend to be more focused on whether or not a starlet is going to show up to suck cock in yet another POV scene.
