    I would hire 250,000 mexicans to post all day so I could sell sig space, argue politics that I know nothing about, and beg for donations. Isn't that what this place is for?

            then you can't come to adult and blow a mill and thinking you'll make 2, you have to know what the fuck you doing, therefore if he made it outside this industry investing here will be "probably" useless.

                  Take it to a financial advisor and invest in outside of adult if you have never been in adult. There is a steep learning curve. Most everyone here started without two nickels to rub together, so the mistakes we all made didn't really hurt us. But you're talking a million dollars, nah... Stick with what you know.

                          200000 $us dollars for my subject (sorry not adult).
                          can make 5-100000 in first year.
                          about 10-200000 in second year.
                          possible 50-2000000 after few years!
                          whatever you will not lost.

                                  I would find another place to invest 1 million dollars rather than adult myself. God only knows where the govt is headed with all the crack downs, VISA/MC issues, patent issues (acacia), law suites etc.

                                  Every business venture is uncertain but Adult is certainly traveling a different (more risky) road at this time.

                                    where is the risk , there is the money.
                                    Even with all the risks you mentioned , WHERE would you invest if you had that money to invest.

                                      It is never cut and dry. Everyone is different. I personaly would not put 1 mill. into one arena. Diversification is my thing. I delegate a percentage to aggressive investments (adult related and risky stocks), a percentage to managed investments, and a percentage I deal with myself (stocks, bonds, IRAs, Mutual Funds etc.).

                                        Take 900.000 and invest it in bonds, with 100.000 I would open good paysite/s and spend the rest of the money for traffic.

                                          thanks. this 1000000 are totally aimed to be invested in the adult industry.
                                          My question is not IF or how MUCH to invest but WHERE to invest.

                                            You ask 100 questions, 99 times the answer is money.

                                            You could flip 100k from 10k without all the excess easily.

                                            Throwing money around like that would have it's benefits, though. But only from a branding standpoint.

                                            Just wait till I hit that 10k of pure disposable income.

                                            Just ...wait.

                                              I am not into developing. Are you familiar with an existing adult operation that wants to be sold ?

                                                You could flip 100k from 10k without all the excess easily.

                                                Throwing money around like that would have it's benefits, though. But only from a branding standpoint.

                                                Just wait till I hit that 10k of pure disposable income.

                                                Just ...wait.
                                                keep talking. you sounds intersting...

                                                    My advice is to be as unique as possible! Also think tons and tons of people surf the internet for porn without their better half knowing, friends or parents. Keeping that a secret is worth millions in itself. I have a great idea on this subject but have never really had the money to have this project developed and promoted. If you are interested in more details ICQ me and we will chat.

                                                        I would try to use the $50,000 of it first and try to see what really works ( advertising wise ) .. anything that seems to be working, i would use the next $100 000 to focus on that sector. basicly i would have spent $150,000 hopefully i would be back to $1mil or more within 2-3 months and i would forecast the recurring sales to see how much exactly $150 000 brought, at the same time i would make sure to examine the logs very careful to see where the best sales are coming from, and then keep it going towards that direction.

                                                              Why invest it in adult? You could throw it in tax free bonds and clear 60k a year no taxes. Buy a place in mexico and swim in senoritas and margritas for the rest of your life.

                                                                          These guys have allocated 10M dollars to the project. We spent a lot of time looking at the adult market since we were getting paid to do it and produced a large report, What we found was that their is still money to be made in the broadband space since that is a untapped market, any thing related to Video on Demand and Live Conferencing over IP, Cable, Satellite and 3G Mobile etc will be sure bet if you want to spend that kind of money.

                                                                            2) build up a affiliate program...
                                                                            3) spend the REST in advertisement.

                                                                            you'd be better spending 990,000 for advertisemnt and 10,000 for your sites than 500,000 for advertisement and 500,000 for the sites.

                                                                            with so many paysites out there the only way you stand out to recover your money is marketing and you have all the resources/

                                                                                          I don't know anything about running a paysite, I have some good ideas, but I don't have time to develop them at this moment.

                                                                                          Visit some webmaster meetings (Cancun, Amsterdam or the Internext) and meet the player. Don't make some fast decisions.

                                                                                                Include a webmaster program that focuses on that site and lets people promote it. Make sure you have about 10 people involved in each gangbang video (to make it somewhat unique... because all the other sites only get around 4 people into the fuckfest usually) you put out.

                                                                                                Make a HUGE deal about how crazy the gangbangs are and that the visitors have NEVER seen ANYTHING like it and it will sell, because people who pay for porn on the Internet are idiots to begin with.

                                                                                                For your webmaster program, make sure you host the banners to promote the site with... webmasters like that, because it makes them feel like you actually care about them.

                                                                                                It's the type of site all the perverts looking for porn would love and the type of webmaster program all the webmasters would love, so you'll get your $$$ back and make a significant profit, if you advertise on the right sites.

                                                                                                That's what I would personally do, but maybe I'm just a complete retard too? IT COULD BE!
