Some people stay in because like you mentioned in another thread some affiliates have been doing nothing else for 10-15 years, how do you fill that employment gap and what else do you do. Wherever I've been, adult is almost universally frowned upon, good bar talk but in most professional settings doesn't work. I know when people would ask what I did online I'd have to have a bogus mainstream front to cover any porn related ventures.

Most people can argue that you just need to work harder, well with so many hours in the day and with the ability to only give away so much free porn (there are traffic building ideas) but beyond selling porn for any amount of what it once was forget about it.

There aren't many of you that can afford to sit on their ass like you and reality eventually hits. Some of the makers of technology on here, though smart, lack true understanding of marketing or a true discernment for economics such as Paul.
I just wonder how lonely you may be on boards like this when the inevitable catches up to most people on here.
Most here would never get a real job in marketing online or offline. They have the same chance as I would getting a real job as a photographer. Their field of experience is very limited to driving traffic to porn sites.

My marketing experience comes from years of selling, market stall, clothing shops, office furniture and porn offline, online direct and indirect. I've adapted and learned that you can't compare chickens and cows let alone apples and oranges. Selling off a market stall is totally different to selling the very same clothing to a shop. Because the buyers needs are totally different. AND that is selling is rule number one. Understand your buyers needs. With porn it's to rub one out. Then get back to watching the TV or similar.

The odds on him needing something else are low, very low. We only have to look at traffic conversion off a Tube and compare it to traffic conversions off a TGP to understand that. Giving him more porn to satisfy his need so you might stumble over someone who needs more. Isn't selling. Unless the girl on the check out at Walmart is selling.
