Just by the way, if your looking to replace the income of an overpaid Bay area exec, don't believe anything you read about incomes in the adult industry, especially if you are a newbie. It will take you years and years to come even close to replacing an executive salary. If you're lucky and put in a good forty hour week, you may make enough to buy a case of the cheapest beer once a month.
If you have a family to support or a mortgage etc.. then do the porn thing on the side, on weekends only, and get out there and find another day job.
The "grandly fucked up economy" as you put it, has absolutely had an effect on the adult biz as well.
Not to mention years of steadily declining sales due to the overwhelming quantity of free stuff out there.
As well you seem to think that porn business people are leaders in the internet marketing field.
Well just for the record, that may have been a long time ago.
Porn marketing has been surpassed and out gunned by mainstream innovation for a good while now.
Also to note, get more opinions! If this forum exists what are the chances there will be others like this out there?
Every board has it's slant and the more hills you look at the better.
The best thing for you to do right now is find a real job and keep porn a hobby.
Surf it deeply, make a few purchases, observe, take notes, build your site and have fun, because unless you have a massive amount of capital to pump into a leaking ship you really are not going to make any kind of serious coin.
