    I don't know... I have never run a site on auto-pilot

    I think in Porn it matters less than anywhere else (wallstreet, politics, public positions, multinationals, etc) who you know. I mean... I don't need to know the right people to buy a cms; hire a crew and location, models; set up tube accounts; integrate affiliate software; etc...

    How would knowing the right people lead to that succes? (serious question) People do business based on mutual benefits (conversions, ctr, etc) and if needed you can always hire expertise...
    Half troll half amazing!

        Elaborate what are the most important benefits of knowing people? Link/traffic trades? What else?
        Edit: just saw struggle already asked the exact same question.

            Can only speak personally on this. The biggest and most expensive job we had was producing content. Stop producing and costs and work plummet. Looking after affiliates who were trouble was dropped, they rarely bought in enough to make a profit. The CMS worked perfectly and other than making sure the server was online. We had little else to do.

            Customer complaints were almost zero.

            In the first 12 months, our income stayed at 80% of the previous year. Our outgoing were just the servers. Our profits went through the roof. This carried on till 2006 when we shut it all down.

            If a site needs constant attention, besides updating with new content, my idea won't work.

                Knowing the right people means nothing. The right people are known by everyone, they have the pick of other people to deal with, they're the right people because they choose the best deals that make them money. The right people are always ruled by the bottom line, not by someone knowing them.

                And making money in porn is all about having the right product that sells to the people no one knows. The customers.

                This isn't the boy scouts.

The CMS worked perfectly and other than making sure the server was online. We had little else to do besides me doing jigsaws and walking the dog and Eva being a cleaning lady full time.

                        Customer complaints were almost zero since we had zero.

                        In the first 12 months, our income stayed at 80% of the previous year at a staggering $360. Our outgoing were just the servers ($10/month cause we didn't burn any bw). Our profits went through the roof generating a ridiculous $28 a month!!! This carried on till 2006 when we shut it all down cause there were no members anyways.

                            Apologies for the spammy post but thought this thread maybe a good opportunity to post my domain registration business that is for sale. It`s a one word domain and it`s being offered for a low price as I`m just looking to clear a few projects!

                            It`s listed in the buying/selling forum or simply click here!

                                        Shap,

                                        Just pick up DigitalDesire from Lani. I am confident she would sell for a reasonable price. I know it does not fit your criteria because it is on a decline. However, it is only on the decline because it is mismanaged. If the production went back to high end it could be grown quite easily. I happen to know just who can do that. ;)

                                        The site has a great Brand already and is exactly the niche that does really well in this current market if the quality were at a BLACKED/TUSHY/VIXEN level or higher - which it could easily be.
