I'm starting to feel a bit depressed...

I've been reading some of the older threads on this board, and they seem to indicate that a large number of users believe that it is impossible to make a decent living in online porn anymore. What's even more troubling is that most of these threads have posts dating from 2015.

If things were that bad in 2015, how much worse must they be now?

My site has been up since 2007. I had some pictures posted on it long ago, which I removed for reasons that have nothing to do with anything that might affect what I decide to do going forward, but I've never had any video content. Having gotten some filmmaking experience over the past few years, however, I thought that maybe creating some content for my site which I can then distribute through a linked Clips4Sale site might be a way to turn my filmmaking skills into a source of income.

Now, after reading all the posts saying there was already no money in this business anymore three years ago, I'm starting to think it won't be. The kind of niche content I want to produce might be somewhat costly, and I don't really know what kind of conversion rate I'm going to get. And then there's the piracy issue. So, I am looking at potentially producing a bunch of content that I might sell once and then see posted on tube sites the day after I post it.

What would be the point? Yes, I would enjoy the process of producing the material, but, if I'm not getting paid anyway, I could still enjoy an almost identical process creating films that cost a whole lot less.

The strength of my site is basically what I have to base my decision on. It still gets thousand of unique visitors per month, despite not having been substantially updated in literally years. And I know that my visitors are looking for the kind of content I intend to produce.

I just need to know: Is it worth the risk? I know I can't afford to produce each video and then sell it through Clips4Sale only 1 time. I would have to sell each clip for a thousand dollars or more, and even then I would just be breaking even.

Is there any chance that I can actually - now, in 2019 - sell the same clip enough times to enough different people to make producing it worthwhile?

What say you in the webmaster community? Any advice? Words of encouragement?
