The internet porn goldrush is over. A few years ago, one could put up a few pics on a hastily created web page, and watch the cash roll in. But these days, it takes many many hours of tedious work to realize a relatively small profit.

If I work 10 hours per day for a week, but only make $300 or $400, then see that money go down the tubes paying for bandwidth, I'd be better off getting a job bussing tables at Hooters.

I can't start a membership site, because there are already dozens out there with 1 million pictures and thousands of movies available. How am I supposed to compete with that?

It seems to me that at this point in the evolution of the internet porn industry, I should be able to make money in other ways besides just selling pics and memberships to horny web surfers.

We always complain about our money going to pay for bandwidth, so why not join the guys who are making money charging webmasters for bandwidth?

We always complain about the lack of quality content that hasn't already been passed around for months, so why not create our own content and sell it to webmasters?

Anybody see where I'm going with this? Thoughs/comments?
