You know...I get so sick of hearing about mainstream too. Pussyserver this is NOT directed at you personally. But I own some commercial rental property. It's nothing but a fucking headache that has no payoff except for the fact that the businesses that rent spaces in the building are paying the mortgage for me and hopefully one day in 30 years (when I'm in my fucking 70's) we will sell that place and make a huge profit.
Wow.
Mainstream.
In adult, my overhead is nothing compared to brick and mortar business. It's more than 95% profit.
So unless you are a coke dealer or a prostitute...there is no easier and faster way to make a shitload of money than adult internet.
And "mainstream" internet? Please.
I was doing that crap back in the late 90's selling pay per clicks for American Express...and trust me, I had more traffic to do that with than you have ever had and ever will have. That's not a cut at you. It's just a verifiable fact from any of the old school people who know me and my background.
It was fucking chump change.
Ran an online clothing store from 1998 to 2005. Again, what a joke. "Mainstream" affiliate programs pay you MAYBE 5% on a sale. And then they immediately write emails to your customers with "specials" which effectively cut you out of any future sales.
I can make more money in a day in adult than I could in a year on "mainstream"
The term "mainstream" had just become another "saying" that surfers have picked up on this board. When I hear someone say that word...I immediately file it with that "Adapt or die" phrase as pure bullshit.

and its well within your right to be angry about people pretending to be anything?actually its well within your right to be angry about anything.
But honestly?. Why would anyone pretend to be working in adult or anything else? What would one gain from that?
Although my base and foundation is in mainstream, I am here for the same reasons as you and anyone else?.. profit
I would sell shit to farmers if I thought I could make a profit.
The part that confuses me is when people act as if someone would need or want to pretend that they are working in adult as if it were some sort of prestigious field ? or as if it were right up there with being a brain surgeon or a rocket scientist.
Its really not that big a deal for anyone to pretend anything.
Any chimp with a half a brain can generate affiliate sales and for quite a few people really their income is sheer luck. So please don?t assume that anyone would have any reason to pretend anything.
As far as mainstream? Mainstream is any product or service that is marketed to a true sampling of the entire general public. This includes kids as well as women conservatives and teens.. as well as a wide variety of other demographic groups.
I don?t sell clicks ?.. mainstream has been very good to me. Granted? its not for everyone and can be very expensive but with a little patience and a lot of brains, mainstream internet marketing can be very rewarding.
But as I said?. to each his own and hopfully if we do meet I can buy ya a beer or something.
