    Biz: Could a newbie start today and make $500 a day?

    Just curious what you all think of this. If a newbie came into the adult business with no contacts and set a goal of making $500 a day within a year, do you think thats a realistic goal?

    Of course anything is possible, but what are the chances of that goal coming true?

    I know someone who submits 4 galleries a day and 2 free sites a day and isnt making half of that. And thats a lot of work to do all that.

      knowledge is key, lot of learning and reading, trial and error, and patience, but its possible

        Definitely possible. But they must apply themselves much more today than in the golden days. Steering off of the path already beat by most would be a good idea also.

          you could start today and next week make $500 if you had half a clue what to do.

          now, is that $500 PROFIT or REVENUE???

          anyone can make $500 in revenue, but profit, thats a completely different story. shit, i could make $2,000 a day in revenue but with these companies not paying or not paying on time, thats a pretty big gamble IMO

            It depends on how much $$$ they start with. Like with most businesses, if you have money to start with it makes things a lot easier.

              I think it can be done, but it would take some discipline and patience to get it going.

                    i had one answer in mind then i read your last sentance. if you think 4 galleries and 2 free sites a day is a lot of work then my answer changes to fuck no it is not possible.

                      Yes, easily...

                      But not by submitting galleries and free sites

                          Depends on prior knowledge and experience. Not easy, but sure is possible.
                          Does anyone look down here?

                              It depends on how much money and time he is ready to invest in his business.

                                        im going to say NO. if you're a veteran who's coming back in then yes its possible, but not someone brand new.

                                          Yea sure It's possible. With the right knowledge and hard work. You have to be good at taking in information and apply It in your own way.

                                              No.

                                              As for $500 a day, $5,000 a day is possible, but it sure as hell ain't easy.

                                                  Most "veterans" don't even know html.
                                                  So it boils down to spending money for them.
                                                  Most new webmasters know both html and php.
                                                  And they understand the web 2.0.
                                                  Definite advantage over veterans, imho.
                                                  The only thing missing for newbies is traffic.
                                                  And there we have it again:
                                                  be first on the internet - make bank.
                                                  be last - struggle.

                                                        Realistic business plan is a must otherwise it would be a year wasted, a lot of reading at first will help build a plan, there is enough people that stay from the social industry that make a killing anything is possible but a direction is a must with constant hard work.

                                                            I totally disagree, the veteran will make more any day, the newbie might know a little html, php some design work etc... but the veteran has one thing the newbie doesn't, knowledge and experience and can easily setup a business plan while the newbie will sit and put in hard work with trial and error...

                                                                      What he said ^^^^ submitting 4 gal's and 2 free sites is not alot. Unless your friend is only doing this a few hrs per day and not dedicating full time into it. In which case, hell no, theres no way to make 500 a day doing it that way. But thats just my 2 cents.

                                                                        I was talking to an old friend of mine from when we both started in the biz, he was always kinda small time, small mgp's and a very very low budget paysite. In the last year he has been learning and listening and the guy is now making over $750 a day profits - up from $200 a day in 2008. All the best to him, he certainly deserves it.

                                                                                              I'm asking for myself. I've been pretty much part time in adult and I make like $50 to $100 a day in it. Which for me is great extra pocket money.
                                                                                              I got laid off a little while back and now starting to feel my back against the wall and Im thinking of just going full time working from home. And Im debating about working full time in adult, or doing something mainstream. My first love is really adult but all the "Sky is falling" stuff makes me think its better to diversify and try something in a different field.

                                                                                              all I know how to do in adult is:
                                                                                              - Promote other peoples pay sites
                                                                                              - Make amateur looking pay sites (I already have a paid ccbill and visa account)
                                                                                              - Make and submit galleries
                                                                                              - I have a small mature-niche dating site and I haven't been promoting.

                                                                                              I never really did avs sites or free sites, I always went after the faster traffic of tgps.
                                                                                              I dont know anything else. People here talk about "thinking out of the box" and being innovative but really the only things I see anyone doing are tubs, tgps, paysites, avs (or aen whatever) sites, blogs, freesites, dating and cams. I dont see anything new about any of that.

                                                                                              I could spend a few thousand $$ against my credit cards but Im debating in myself where to spend it.

                                                                                              If my friend is doing all that work to make all those galleries and free sites and not making half of $500/day then I would get burned out.
                                                                                              And yes that is a lot of work to start from scratch and edit photos and do the design then submit them all. I dont know why you all say it isnt.
                                                                                              Last edited by clickhappy; 09-12-2009, 11:51 AM.

                                                                                                  Regardless, I wish you the best of luck. There is still plenty of money to be made.
