so now that porn is dead...
 

Hey;

porn used to be a way to make money if you didn't mind getting into something tht was deemed unacceptable.

What would you say has replaced it as the best way to get ahead now?

Bitcoins:1orglaugh

thats money in the bank and mainstream apps.

cookies..

still making adult cash, but mainstream domain name sales has been good to me for 11 years or so, sold another one few days ago for $1073 profit, basically I reinvest all my adult/domain money into strengthening my current projects or investing in new projects so my portfolio of projects is pretty diversified should one sector go cold :thumbsup

Sunscreen, lots of sunscreen! You just have to find what everyone else ISN'T doing.

im selling typewriters

Im still making money, so go spread your filth somewhere else, only people who are not making money are the morons who are too scared to do any real work cause they have come to false conclusions ;)

bookmaking.

You remind me of my gf... Does nothing all day, expects money in her bank account.. :1orglaugh
Oh... wait. Money actually goes to her bank account... :1orglaugh

I'd feel a hell of a lot more guilty selling shirts made in a Bangladesh factory than consenting over 18 adults doing the most basic of human things on camera.

Sweater girls

LOL awesome! :thumbsup

traffic of any kind buy sell on behalf of others. There are plenty making money on here so they just laugh at you and tell you to do more work.

I have started a medium size Taco Restaurant specializing in the cities best Pico De Gallo

Dating is huge...

This is simply not true.

How many people had to work more and harder for even less money than ever? How many adult companies disappeared? How is that people that barely work is the richest in the world and people working 16 hours a day may not even have enough to feed themselves and/or their families? There are many factors to the equation, your personal story is 1 between thousands, so not even important in statistical terms.

I could oppose mine: due to a serious illness and my partner being not very comfortable with adult, we moved to mainstream and he told me we could make 3 to 10x the money we were making with adult. And so it was: I work less and earn a lot more simply by moving away from adult and working in more technologically current markets. And instead of burning myself, I have re-opened my office which I had to close because adult wasn't providing enough to keep it open. As easy as that.

In short, I'm the living example of the exact opposite to what you say. Statistically irrelevant (like you), but a sample of how smarter beats harder 10000000 times :2 cents:

With 15 years of stockpiled images, we're working on having a mainstream photography book published and distributed. Landscape, scenic and abandonments - more than enough for three separate theme books.

So far we've had one test-run (single copy) published, and everyone that's seen it loves it. It's encouraging.

after re-reading this I noticed it sounds very cocky and it wasn't my intention. What I tried to say is "working smarter beats working harder". And this is historically and statistically true, despite the Calvinist slogans.

Otherwise, we would still be happy with walking instead of inventing the wheel and the engines and the cars and the mass production systems and the planes and the rockets :2 cents:

OP asked "what is" so what is it that you do that is so successful?

videos of kittens

I have a pager business :thumbsup

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

You have to put this on the home page instead of this crappy video of a guy telling people he's gonna help their business... :1orglaugh

If there is no more money in porn... then don't quite your day job:2 cents:

Come again? :upsidedow

it's not a secret (otherwise believe me I wouldn't post it): I run a development firm, I was doing it exclusively for adult, I moved to mainstream. As simple as that. No secret formulas or crazy ideas. I moved from a seriously constrained market (no matter what 2 or 3 people says, I can prove it has shrunk at least 50-60%) with no more than 100-120 possible clients to a market with a few million possible clients willing to pay 2x to 100x more money. Do the math. :2 cents:

Tube site or die.

Oh I believe you - if you are developer you are sitting pretty right now.

What other things do you recommend? I am interested in those "mainstream" business. Give me some links or ideas. thank you.

I like that a tag for this thread is anal branding.

Na, Its just how you see it, at least you explain yourself :thumbsup

Keep calm. The best is yet to come. :2 cents:

If you're willing to WORK in adult there's plenty of opportunities.


In case it was missed the key word in that sentence is WORK.

Hmmm not sure why people thought I didn't expect to work.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Porn is not dead,it just changed revenue cake stats.

ppc, in for the penny

Do what Heisenberg would do:
