What you have to consider is what you "Bring to the table."

What exactly are you offering besides wages and what level of skills/talent/devotion do you require?

At the moment I see you offering very little that someone with a bit of finance could not set up himself assuming he had the skills you require.

I recently spoke to the MD/CEO of a major UK porn publisher. They are looking to again try to break into the Internet. They publish magazines and I doubt if the editors earn more than $50,000 a year. They would never pay that to a webmaster to run their sites.

I showed him my site, told him what it cost to set up and run and then told him the membership and revenue it generates. Then told him the guy he's looking for needs to be a lot more skilled than me to do what he needs.

And should be able to make twice what he earns.

He is rethinking his plans.

And that illustrates the problem with the Adult Internet. Financially the bar is low for entry, skills/talent level is high for success. Whether you work for yourself or others.
