I've got money, and that's just about it.

It's definitely tough, and tricky.

In many ways it's better to start with no money or a limited amount of money - because, simply, it's harder than it looks to make money in the porn biz.

And, having the right knowledge and skill set is more valuable than money. With the right knowledge, you can always make money, depending on how hard you want to work, and how much risk you wnat to take.

But with only money, you are at the mercy of the people with knowledge and skills.

Stay far away from "services" promising to help you make money - none of them are legitimate. None of them.

You don't mention wether you want to work or just be a passive investor.

If you just want to be a passive investor, I'd suggest researching sponsors and approaching them to buy in as something like a limited partner.

Don't be in a hurry. Really, you would be best off setting aside some of your money to support yourself while you do nothing but study the business for a year or two, reading the boards, teach yourself the basic skillset.

Then start buying up other people's work - traffic sources, percentages in sponsors, other assets - and see how well that translates into cash flow for you.

Move slowly, spend slowly, concentrate on gaining knowledge and skills. That's the executive summary.
