    Where is the money now?

    15 years ago I ran a very successful membership site that made millions a year. I sold out at the right time. A lot has changed. So much content is free now. So, where is the money? Toys, dating, cams... What else?

    I am looking to get back in.

                                If I knew -- why would I tell you?

                                I did read an astute statement yesterday: "Data is the oil of the future."

                                I would invest in disruptive Fintech for the adult processing industry.

                                    That reply sums up everything anyone needs to know about you, and about how you have absolutely fuck all knowledge of running a business, and why you needed to move to your shithole of a country to find a place where your minimum income could get you a young wife.....

                                                It all started going away (the money) with insane affiliate programs. The free content was growing exponentially as every webmaster was zipping up tons of promo content and sending it to affiliates. This, along with torrent that had full site rips. The final nail in the coffin was tube sites. I'm still amazed to even see membership sites. The money now is in interactive sites, tangible products, or services (SEO, Web Development, etc.).

                                                I wish I could go back to those glorious days of passive recurring membership money...

The free content was growing exponentially as every webmaster was zipping up tons of promo content and sending it to affiliates. This, along with torrent that had full site rips. The final nail in the coffin was tube sites. I'm still amazed to even see membership sites. The money now is in interactive sites, tangible products, or services (SEO, Web Development, etc.).

                                                  I wish I could go back to those glorious days of passive recurring membership money...
                                                  Man I remember having residuals coming in from casinos, from several programs, etc |
                                                  Them was the days back then in those days back when that was at that time back in the day then that's for sure
                                                  I cannot WAIT to have passive income again

                                                      Money will always be where your talents are. If someone has a talent for rim jobs, then they should be filmed rimming ever hairy ass they can find.

That should tell you something.

                                                                                              So like Paul said, unless you have some unique skill, know some way to get ton of traffic, or have some other breakthrough idea, adult is not where the money is.

I invested some of that previous adult income into mainstream stuff. So today combo of mainstream income and on the adult end mainly cam income driven by backlinks from my other 40ish adult sites. So I basically just built a network of adult sites just to have properties to link my cam white labels from. So I buy less traffic than the old days as I have 40+ sites to link adult from and 400+ mainstream domains to link mainstream things from. So if were just talking adult I make income from Cams, Toys, PayPerView, Tubes etc... but majority of the adult income is from Cams.
