Numbers are always different etc.

Now this guy here Kvns - only wanted to offer 100 dollars for SEO work. Obviously doesn't understand it and undervalues the person greatly - he then wanted me to proceed working with no money exchange an when the traffic arrives - he'll decide whether he'll pay more than 100 if it was worth it. Im' sorry - we're not vacuum cleaner door to door sales people - you wouldn't dare do that to anyone else and if you do you're not getting very far especially with the problems the site has.

Paying several thousand dollars is to much - but around 1599 to 2000 per month is fair to start and common in the industry.
I certainly get low ball offers for website development all the time too. Invariably people are attracted to extremely low price offers and then just deal with the results when it doesn't work out. It's not exclusive to adult, but I do feel like because the industry is smaller and more inclusive, it feels like it's really common. What can you do? I just move on and look forward to the next client who values me. I have met some amazing people in this industry and almost all of my clients end up becoming good friends. The people who value good work and reinvest in their business aren't always the people we hear about, but they are the ones most comfortable in their lives.
