Go back and re-read the first few pages of this thread when nearly everyone was saying if you don’t already have traffic and/or a ton of experience don’t waste your time. So we’ll just have to agree to disagree here. When you start providing evidence of the influx of newbies launching successful pay sites then I’ll believe the hype.

And for the record, I never said I was planning on investing in adult again to begin with. The question was asked to get the “truth” about the state of the industry as far as total beginners launching pay sites.

I’m about making money first and foremost. I never expect starting any business in any field to be “easy”. But there’s a big difference between a market having fair odds and one having extremely difficult odds. It’s "possible" for anyone to make it to the pros from a minor league team, but the reality is that the odds of someone actually getting there that way are really stacked against you. There are a lot of great players out there don’t always even get an opportunity or a break. But I suppose people like you would say the ones that didn’t make it, it’s because they didn’t train hard enough, or didn’t have enough will to make it. Sometimes it’s a little more complicated than that, regardless of what industry you’re in. That’s all I’m trying to say.


Sounds like another one against a newbies chances just starting out.


No one's disputing that. I feel like we're just going around in circles here arguing the same thing. My whole point was that sometimes you can have all the tools, do everything right, and still be unsuccessful. Perhaps there were just 1 too many pizza stands on the same block.
