In time? Yes. In 30 days? No.

I did not learn all of that stuff in a short period of time. I took me time to learn that stuff. I recall spending a good 3 months just reading and reading all of the various boards, hahahahahahaha University or whatever it was called, and anything I could.

But even when I did NOT know all about shooting content, video editing, running adult oriented (traditional model) pay sites, it only took me a few months to get up to speed. That does not mean I stopped learning. It means I was profitable and in the black. I kept learning, tweaking, trial and error over the decade plus.

What I am getting at here is, I am self taught. If I can do it, so can others. If you have the WILL.

I have to teach my assistant these things so I can scale my business now. In addition to her, I have a number of worker bees doing various one off tasks. Is it a nightmare? Sure. Not one of these people have adult industry experience and all work locally. Can they learn to do adult webmaster oriented tasks? Yep. All doing just fine. It takes time, yes. But can be done.
