Serious Question: No Liars Please
honestly, how many people here will be leaving adult in the next six months if things don't improve?
secondly, what will you be leaving to? mainstream? off net job? |

I think I will be sticking it out as I have yet to feel a serious pinch.
Though I also am looking at some additional offline ventures for extra income.

I'm preparing to get into the biz. Is it really that bad? Someone must be doing well, because it seems like there's 800 new porn movies every fucking week.

I won't be going anywhere. My monthly earnings have been increasing steadily over the past 12 months. When the industry changes, change with it. On the other hand it is always good to diversify into other industries as well.

Going anywhere? Hell no. Been here since '97. Can't imagine life without lots of naked 18 year olds running around my house. If things are going that badly you're not expanding in the right directions.

well, so far good to hear.. i hate quitters.. stick it out until you have exhausted all options...
i think its going to be tough the next 12-18 months, but i think there is money to be made by getting creative.... also, i am in agreement to supplement adult with either mainstream or offline projects... |

I do both mainstream and adult, but even in the worst economy people still love sex and booze. This is a great time to be peddling porn and if you're not making good money at it, you're just not doing it right.

How many people or the percentage? I wouldn't be surprised to see at least 30% go. And that doesn't include the ones I know are doing DAMNED well in adult but are focusing on mainstream in hopes to eventually wean off adult (at least most of it).
The interesting part will be the higher management positions being laid off. It's easy to hire a rep at a small salary and promises of big fat commissions, but if you're used to get getting that big fat pay day in and day out, it's going to be hard to match it elsewhere. |

as much as i think you are annoying, i get the feeling that you live low key and bank most of your money... i think you will ride the shit to the bottom if neccessary...
one thing i have always wondered about you is what you did before adult... |

Over the past 6 months I have been doing more and more mainstream and it is in an area I have a true passion for so it is fun to do the work. I will still do adult dating and dating as they pay the bills.

Been around since '99 ('95 if you count the production years before we went to a paysite format) - so chances are slim we'll be goin' anywhere soon.
Besides, there's too much invested in what we do to pack it in. Plus...last month was one of our best for sales in our history. ![]() Still rockin' in '07. |

I'm never leaving. With all this 18 year old pussy running around my house....
Oh wait. There is some cock running around too. My home is filled with running genitalia. But I want to be around long after I quit performing. I love the whole industry, and can't imagine things differently. (that could be due to the fact that I've been in it since 2001 and know nothing else...) PORN OR DIE!!!!! RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Noticing the fact that there's a lot of competition in an industry makes you think it's a good idea to enter it?

Been doing this for eight years and don't plan on quitting anytime soon. Besides, who would hire me? I'd be lucky to get a job at Burger King. I can just see my application now...
"Previous employment: Pornographer" Hmm. Application immediately thrown in trash. And even if I did get hired, I'd be leaning out the drive-thru window asking cute chicks if they'd like to make some extra money on the side and would get fired within a week. Doh!

Marketstreet the honest answer would be many of the more serious people will either diversify and or stick to adult. Then another segment which is massive will still be in the webmaster reserves playing on weekends and talking about it every so often as it brings in anywhere from some beer money to several hundred a month for them. They will also continue to throw as much free shit at the wall to see what sticks and makes them a sign up. Then there will be some who just can not devote the time anymore and will fold.
Biggest issue that keeps so many in play is that hosting can be free, content is free, the scripts are free, the work is almost done for you, so in reality it is near impossible to bottom out and assuming your close to it you can just whore youself in some contest threads and clear a hundred or two a month.

at some point, i would have to think that working 20-40 extra hours a week in adult but only making an additional $100-$1000 a month at some point isnt worth the effort... i was asking original question in hopes of getting an idea of how tough it is for the average person to make $ in adult these days and to determine if it is pushing them out of the industry... so far, it seems (from the initial responses) that most are going to try to stick it out for at least another 6-12 months... very opposite of what i was expecting, but its late on a weekend... we'll see what the weekday crowd has to say... |

You know, I think honestly what to do is do the job that you love the most. If you love being in this industry, you will evolve and adapt and change and figure out new ways to keep making money. If you don't really like doing it, hell, go back to college or whatever career you want to really do. You are only happy when you are doing what you love.
