        Porn is an interesting one for me. I know most people in my situation would flee and expect me to flee as well. I'm always drawn back to it. I know socially it brings no status which is a shame. But on the upside I know the market well. I know the people in the space well. I have a ton of friends here. I'm not ashamed to say I like porn and like the porn industry. It's also always been a fun space imo.

          That's 90% of success right there.

          Getting a porn business off the ground is all about who you know.

          It's possible to succeed on your own, but it's amazing how much easier it is when you know the right people.

            Well I must say, with all your offers of consultation in the past, THIS is really the best way for you to stay in the game you clearly enjoy. Once you have been an owner it's hard to consult with someone who may or may not take your advice. If you're The Boss then it gets done!

              I don't know... I have never run a site on auto-pilot

              I think in Porn it matters less than anywhere else (wallstreet, politics, public positions, multinationals, etc) who you know. I mean... I don't need to know the right people to buy a cms; hire a crew and location, models; set up tube accounts; integrate affiliate software; etc...

              How would knowing the right people lead to that succes? (serious question) People do business based on mutual benefits (conversions, ctr, etc) and if needed you can always hire expertise...

                Elaborate what are the most important benefits of knowing people? Link/traffic trades? What else?
                Edit: just saw struggle already asked the exact same question.

                  Can only speak personally on this. The biggest and most expensive job we had was producing content. Stop producing and costs and work plummet. Looking after affiliates who were trouble was dropped, they rarely bought in enough to make a profit. The CMS worked perfectly and other than making sure the server was online. We had little else to do.

                  Customer complaints were almost zero.

                  In the first 12 months, our income stayed at 80% of the previous year. Our outgoing were just the servers. Our profits went through the roof. This carried on till 2006 when we shut it all down.

                  If a site needs constant attention, besides updating with new content, my idea won't work.

                    Knowing the right people means nothing. The right people are known by everyone, they have the pick of other people to deal with, they're the right people because they choose the best deals that make them money. The right people are always ruled by the bottom line, not by someone knowing them.

                    And making money in porn is all about having the right product that sells to the people no one knows. The customers.

                    This isn't the boy scouts.

                        In the first 12 months, our income stayed at 80% of the previous year at a staggering $360. Our outgoing were just the servers ($10/month cause we didn't burn any bw). Our profits went through the roof generating a ridiculous $28 a month!!! This carried on till 2006 when we shut it all down cause there were no members anyways.

                                Shap,

                                Just pick up DigitalDesire from Lani. I am confident she would sell for a reasonable price. I know it does not fit your criteria because it is on a decline. However, it is only on the decline because it is mismanaged. If the production went back to high end it could be grown quite easily. I happen to know just who can do that. ;)

                                The site has a great Brand already and is exactly the niche that does really well in this current market if the quality were at a BLACKED/TUSHY/VIXEN level or higher - which it could easily be.

                                        If the industry was as good as 2008, we would be back shooting running the content stores and making the money we made then. As you say it's hardly worth it today.

                                                  Well if anyone could shap could. I like being a periah. Shap has the accuem and tact. My new jersey state of mind nullifies my tact

                                                      why is there so much crying here about no money in porn?

                                                      Because you actually have to work and make a quality product. Gone are the days of shitty fhgs making you $5000 per month.

                                                      There are 100's of affiliate webmasters messaging over $20k per month. They don't talk much because they are working.

I've bled for it, but now I have everyone doing everything for me and that''s tough because i literally do nothing but hobbies 4.5 days a week. But I still have my pride in the game if that nakes sense

                                                                            As someone who sold did you get more than you could have got by allowing the site to keep going on auto-pilot and making a lot more profit each month. Or needed the lump sum and sold for someone else to run it down?

                                                                            All but a few sites are taking less every month. No matter how hard someone works a site it will take less than it did the previous year. Which is why so many affiliates are moving away from selling memberships to selling cams, dating or something else.

                                                                            There are huge opportunities for people with money to buy sites and run them down over a period of years. They can just do nothing which I could afford to, or do their own promotional work even with some outsourcing.

                                                                            For site owners who are running out of money or need money to sink into another project.
