This is very complicated issue. It can't be explained with generalisations and "black or white" arguments.
There are countries where it can be done - Germny, France, Spain,... with less financial risk involved
There are countries where it would be extremely difficult to do - eastern Europe - low salaries, small number of people online, reduced payment options, bad reputation (frauds).
There are other factors involved:
1. English is de facto official world language today.
2. People hardly read text when it comes to porn. It's visual entertainment. If your English is poor you can get away with it if your tits are nice.
3. It's easiest to do English sites because all neccesary things are there - demand, developed market, quality sponsors, variety of payment options... If you opt for non-English sites you have to develop much of those things yourself which spells much more work. It would be fine if it would guarantee more income - but it doesn't.
While we are on this topic, here are a few things which I must live with just because I'm from Serbia:
1. About 50% of affiliate programs don't accept WMs from my country, and those programs are all good and reputable.
2. My reputation was tarnished by fraudsters even before I decided to do this business. How many of you really would trust me, even if I am a member of this board for several years?
3. I couldn't get a credit card until 2002.
4. I can't open Paypal account because my country is not on the list ( eBay is out, too)
5. I can't open Epassporte, too.
6. 4+5 means that I can't get submit passes to TGPs which require funds from mentioned accounts.
No complaints here, I know perfectly well the reasons for these problems. It's just a reminder how different my work is in comparison to WMs from US, UK, etc.
Now to the point - I don't sell porn in Serbia for exactly the same reasons that are the cause of my problems.
