I recon the biggest problem in all this is that newbies come in, and really think that "sex sells" and bingo, they're gonna get rich quick.
By assuming that, they invest WAY too much, before they realise that reality is completely different.
You only hear about the success stories, but never about all of the bancrupcies!
The entire statement of "sex sells", sucks.
I mean, everything sells, even a hotdog with ketchup sells.
But in porn, from the outside, you generally only see the glamour of it. Even I "play" the role, where I dress up in Versace rings and gold pimp stuff.
And a fair part of the "act" is playing dosile and laid back, like it's all really easy.
You don't really want to show the nitty gritty countless hours of planning and marketing events etc that you must do to get things roling.
But, "they" actually believe that you're drowning in cash... that has come easy.
But, with all the newbies etc, thinking that this is easy, they hardly ever actually digg into the what's and how's etc in advance. They don't even take a closer look at the reasons for why some go bust, and others do well.
At the start of 2004, I heard of a company over here that were starting a "brand new" Internett Erotic shop.... yeah, great stuff, nobody thought of that before...
And they went to a product supplier and had estimated approximately 20,000,000,- Norwegian kroner in one years turnover!!!!
Haha, fucking dorks.
A simple check at the tax office would have told them that the biggest company over here in this field, that also has 8 physical shops, only turned over 14 million the previous year, and that is after they have been in the branch for like 12 years, and supply all major outlets!
Naturally they went bust.
But, they are not alone in this misconception of this-is-the-easy path.
To a large degree, I think most bancrupcies are good, to clear away much of the crap and cons that's going on.
This is a marked based product. Just like everything else.
The only advantage I can think of, is that this is a lot more fun.
