Time to pull the plug

[nnwebgirls]

StarMan, mind if I ask if your site is losing money, or not making enough money and taking up too much time for the returns, or other.

Are there things that you feel you should've done but didn't, or did things that were a waste of time or counter productive?

Any input would be appreciated, and best of luck to anything you do man.

I'm going to keep everything up until the end of the month so everyone doesn't have to rush to get them down.

I'm going to keep the domain so hopefully if things change and the economy picks up i can get back to doing what I love....but for now,pulling the plug is just one less thing to worry about.

I'd like to thank everyone for the trades and traffic over the years,also for putting up with my goofy and just downright crazy posts and giving a guy like me that really doesn't fit in anywhere a place to call 'home'.

And last but not least,thank you Green Guy and Jim for providing hands down the best webmaster outlet on the net.If it wasn't for you guy's I'd still be putting up Lexington Steele banners on my twisty's babe sites hehe.

Oh don't feel bad for me.Me and Mr Yum are sitting back sipping pina coladas in the webmaster after life.

Thanks -

Well NNick , you want a brutally honest answer? Here it go's.


As much as I LOVE the adult industry - I feel I dedicated a foolish amount of time and energy into something and have nothing to show for after all these years.I also feel that a part of being a successful adult webmaster isn't only about hard work but also being in the right place at the right time. If someone said they wanted to start a link list today I'd say - Your a day late and a dollar short buddy.

I know it's fun to receive checks for doing 'nothing' but looking back in hindsight - If I would have dedicated the same amount of time and energy into ANYTHING else I would have made much more money.

I also think that the concept of giving away free porn was doomed by design.When there was only a handful of people doing it,your going to hit it big but today it's like trying to sell snow to an Eskimo.

NNick,I promise you that this isn't some kind of reverse psychology to scare you off,this is just my brutally honest opinion.

That's what I realised aswell, but it's not doing 'nothing' is it... you spend a lot of time building pages and stuff, but you don't really learn anything useful other than basic html, image editing and maybe a bit of basic scripting - if that. I think one good way to stay in the business is to make it secondary to learning programming or design or something to do with it in depth, then if all else fails you still have something to show for the time invested that can be used elsewhere.
