It's not as difficult as most make it out to be, but it will certainly be more of a challenge than an inexperienced webmaster is planning on. One of four things will happen to a n00b:
1. They get tired of putting work into something that isn't profitable and quit prematurely rather than tinker with the various options available to them.
2. Same as above, but they continue to follow the adult business primarily as a spectator with the intention of eventually getting back into things. In the meantime I think some of these surfermasters become posers that can't restrain themselves on the boards.
3. This is rare, but some n00bs are so far out in left field that they accidentally do something amazing and cash in outside of the business model safety net that most experienced webmasters confine themselves to for financial security reasons.
4. These webmasters tried a bunch of different things, were not afraid to change things up and kept at it until they landed on their feet. Maybe it was six months of trial end error. Maybe it was two years.
Now, how exactly one should specifically go about this as a new or struggling webmaster is open for debate. Personally, I think anything having to do with TGP's or TGP traffic in general is going to create problems here in 2007 for someone who doesn't know what they are doing. It used to be that TGP was the starting point. Now I think it's probably more like blogs.
And of course you should at first limit yourself to niches that you personally love and thus understand what is going to sell. There are a TON of paysites out there created by people who didn't understand the niche. Never assume that since you don't understand a niche, your sponsor does and thus you are safe sending traffic because usually you aren't!
