True: I would be getting out completely IF I had an alternative source of income!
On the other hand I know of a lot of established webmasters who got out this or last year, simply because the earnings weren't what they used to be.
It's getting rather frustrating, and as an overseas webmaster being hit by falling US$ and falling conversions it's a double whammy!
Just lucky that I invested my adultsite earnings in real estate before our local boom started. That made me better money than I earned from porn in recent years.
I would start another business but where I live commercial rents are outragous, so setting up a shop-front business is rather hard, too! About 6 months ago I thought I was actually onto something, but then the supplier pulled the plug just before I was about to sign a lease...
