Aw, Dad, you've done a lot of great things, but you're a very old man, and old people are useless

IE advertising spots on sites can cost you 1k per month. I don't know why you dont put up a LL? I would think if done correctly in a short period of time you would have some great backlinks. This is just like any other business. Thats why they call it the adult business. There is no way of getting rich quick, but just like opening up a store front it will take time and hard work. I think to many people get into this thinking they will just wake up at 11am, work on their site to 2pm and then call it a day and watch the money roll in. If it was that easy everyone would be doing it. The good thing about this business unlike others, is it will still pay off if you work hard and dont give up. You just have to be willing to pick yourself up when you make a mistake and drive on. Other industries are not that forgiving. As far as your 4k a month dont seem worth it comment. I have to disagree. Thats 50k a year. And thats a good living. Not great but good enough to live off of.
yeah, 4k a month is a decent living but it taking one year of work just to achieve it is what i think isn't worth it. i'd imagine there are other more lucrative things you could work at for one year straight and make much more.

i know the online adult industry isn't get rich quick but it used to be, for me at least. when i first started doing this i was making 10k a month within 6 months. i spent years waking up at noon working for a couple hours a day and partying the rest still pulling in good money. i guess all of that has spoiled me because now all i can think of is how much better it was back then.

as for the reason i don't start a linklist now, its too late to be a greenguy, or a tommy, or xxxjays. no one is gonna submit to a site that doesn't have hundreds of thousands of hits per day.

i've just got to face the fact that things are very different now and will never return to the days of old but if i can't make 50k a year working 8 hours a day at whatever in the online adult world, i think i'll have to find another area of work but i can't for the life of me imagine working for someone else now, after all these years of freedom.
