If that is you question, the answer is yes. But not based on the O.P. and his $50k budget to make $5/month yoke. But because I believe that ultimately you're work ethic and will to succeed is what makes or breaks you. The money can make it easier and faster assuming you have the right blue print in the first place. However, that is not going to be the KEY to the success of failure.

Wow that was a completely messed up sentence. sorry

So youre saying even the percent of people who have drive and work ethic is real slim. But you think a decent percent of people can pick up enough knowledge about the industry to learn all the scripts, places to promote, understanding of where your content will convert, what style of content to produce, who to edit your content, how to work video editing software, photo editing software if you dont end up paying somebody, etc etc and succeed with a small investment to the level of paying their bills and then saving enoguh from this profitable site to reinvest into it to keep it going? all without having prior adult industry experience...

i'd love for you guys to guide one of your friends who hasn't worked in adult and is looking to get into it and point them over to these boards and tell them, well there you go, start! and see how much money is spent before he gets to launch date. including his time and bills.

again i have to say, you understimate how much knowledge you've picked up being in this industry for as long as you have and launching when it was easier to stay afloat. it sounds so easy to us but people outside this industry, its alot tougher than you think, hell i tried to show somebody how to use smartthumbs, that was a while until he got a good understanding of how it operates.

I dont consider that person dumb or unmotivated, he simply isnt' experienced in this industry or the type of scripts we work with day in and day out, its a big learning curve
