In other words, the days of launching a single paysite and having it explode into millions in revenue are over. Now you have to WORK to get anywhere.

- 30% and 70% of revenue = 100% of revenue
- the first year you will have zero to little revenue
- there is little chance of building a $million tube unless you have $3-5 million to invest. even then...
- you'll never be on page 1 of organic searches. the tubes and torrent/pirate sites on those pages can't be beat.
there's way too much competition to build a $million business in porno now without spending (and likely losing) a ton of money. we have a handful of clients hitting that mark, and one or two that invested almost nothing to do it, but 99% will never see a million a year.
porno today is an act of love and passion. its not much of a business anymore. its still a lot of fun, which is probably why most veterans hang around.
if its profit and fast growth you are looking for, you are better off in mainstream. at least you can find investors if the idea is good. there's also a LOT more available skilled labor.
one last idea, if you really want to get back into porno, is to invest in growing/successful projects. there's dozens of good projects going on that need money and you wouldn't have to start from scratch.
