And let's honest here, nowadays it's becoming very hard for those new guys to make sales, I don't even imagine, DAMN, how hard it must be in an expensive country to make a living for the AVERAGE adult webmaster... so Jim, you should tell them truth about the current adult business situation so then they can decide if they still want to try their best or want to get a real daily job.

I think if you want to be an affiliate in this business today, and your starting out, you NEED to already have a day job. Period. Five year later and i'm making out pretty good, and for a part time commitment, I have no complaints, but I certainly don't kid myself thinking if I did this full time i'd all of a sudden make double or triple. Takes time and lots and lots of patience. Google doesn't bestow SERPs upon you overnight... usually takes at least a month or two before you actually see any results.
Try something, look at your competitors, copy success, rinse and repeat. Don't be lazy. Ditch the sites not making you money and most of all DON'T EVER FUCKING GET PERSONALLY INVOLVED. Build, build and build some more. Buy keyword domains and avoid the dashed ones like the plague. Don't even think of using anything other than .COM's. Sign up to every webmaster board and stay on top of what's going on. Look at the bigger picture. Get decent hosting, virtual servers are not your enemy, and get DECENT hosting. Did I mention get decent hosting? Stop using free hosts, and don't use sponsor free hosting, you don't need it.
I can go on and on and on... but this is good enough for now.
