In adult, a few people/companies control the vast majority of the wealth left in this industry. It's not to say there is not money to be made as a producer or pay site owner. But if you're a lowly affiliate, you will find that swim in increasingly more difficult for you. It's time to diversify. Assuming you know how to build sites, and drive traffic, you should be able to easily transition into other online spaces. You just have to WORK and retool your operation.
