23.Why stay in adult?

As of lately I ask myself that same question every single day. Times are changing. Things are not as easy as they used to be. For some of you I know you work in adult because you actually have a passion for the porn and strive to build bigger, better and more original sites. For me, as I said, Adult was supposed to be a stopover on my way to something else, but the money was too good to walk away and frankly the people for the most part have been amazing!

I always felt that as long adult was at the forefront of technology, so was I, and that I was gaining valuable information as I was moving along. I think mainstream has definitely caught up with us, well in some ways anyhow, certainly not across the board.

I think all the skills I have acquired here are transferable and I am making the transition slowly but surely. I will always have 1 foot in Adult because of CCBTools but want to spread my wings a little too.

The tube sites, the shady processing, bad offers and of course just the economy as a whole has shown us that our business is not as recession proof as we had once thought. I do believe it is preferable not to put all of your eggs into one basket. I don't think we are going to lose the paysite model altogether and I don't believe that Internet porn will be reduced to only Tubes, but I think as I have always been about the money and not the actual porn it is time to see what else I can do. That said everyone who has the adult skills could be making money in mainstream some how too and probably should be.

Someone, however, came to me with a very cool and different project which might send me right back here full-time as I would love to work on it because it is something we have never seen before. We shall see I guess.
