In These Troubled Times, Is It Still Worth Managing A Membership Site?

What used to be just seems worn and obsolete.

Is it still worth the trouble making membership sites? Marketing gurus say that we only need to create more valuable content. But how more "valuable" can we make them when people apparently prefer quantity over quality? Can we really still make money with content?

And yet while all things remain doubtful, I still think the porn industry will never die. Our industry has always been innovative. We are the the first to try new things. Reinvention is our middle name. It is our adventurous spirit that will lead us to a new profitability. It's just a matter of time.

Do you share my optimism?
Yes it is still worth managing a membership site.

The porn industry will never die, however the landscape has changed greatly the last few years and the divide between who is capable of making money, and who is not, has deepened.
