Indeed padawan however,...
Traditionally, in adult or online, in general few people would really share their tips and secrets. Believing everyone on the planet would copy them and they would be competing against those same people and lose money.
I can think of many times over the years that people try and copy people and have less, or greater success. That said, if you had the exact blueprints to what I, or anyone, has done and follow them to the letter. You are not going to mirror their success. The best plans will still come down to your dedication and execution.
I float the idea every time I have a new website ready to come on line. To pick up someone locally, or online, who can spend 2 hours a day. Cutting videos, submissions, screen caps, writing up descriptions or any number of mundane tasks more a less babysitting a website and learning, how and why, I do what I do while learning the business.
I have two of those right now. I have either minimal responses, or those who do respond are not remotely interested in the long term benefits. They just want a job because they can't find work. They are no the right mind set for what you are looking for in a 'big brother' type deal.
Very few apply, have what is needed (will power) or if I find someone. They simply do not want to work. Regardless of the fact they are mainly babysitting, or pre-programming updates, typing in descriptions of scenes, and whatever.
I used to pay house cleaners, models, assistants a lot more in the past and have tinkered with that formula and different ways to structure things over the years. Paid as they learn skills, paid on existing skills, paid more to get better quality out of the gate.
In the end what I have found, and it has been reinforced over and over again.... it comes down to the WILL of that person. Whether I paid them $300 or $100. Some will do the same caliber of work they want to do. Money will not motivate most people.
You need to find someone who wants to get the skills, by work, or has a solid work ethic and does not like to let people down, and is insanely committed to being successful.
Hence the "will" I was referring to.
