Yea, I never found anything close to what it was like in adult with PPS & reoccurring, which is why I really didn't bother with it. Only reason I even do Amazon affiliate is because it's simply free money to drop product links here and there.
I know back when adult was dying and lots of guys were switching to mainstream many guys were saying they were getting good money with credit card stuff. I know as example on Youtube the ad revenue for videos to do with financial stuff pays more money than say gaming videos do.
Kind like how ad sense always had that sliding scale based on niche.In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment

Really interesting story CS. Thanks for sharing. Sounds like life was pretty wild back in the dayI'm gonna break character and go on a trip down memory lane
I first started earning 'pocket money' in adult when I was about 8 years old. Video had just come along and it was my job to load up a bank of about 20 video recorders with blank tapes. Then, a couple of hours later, reload with new tapes. Although I had an idea it was 'naughty films' (Having seen bits of 8mm cine films through cracks in doors) I never actually saw what was on the tapes.
By about 15 I knew what the deal was and had started helping with the tapes sales full time, and at around 18, I began to create original content, which was all sold via mail order from small ads in the back of print publications...
Everything was going extremely well and then the internet came along. While I was quite good with computers, I didn't really realise the potential of the net at first, and simply saw it as another place to advertise my mail order business, and as such, business boomed even further. In around 97, I married my then wife, and followed her over to America to submerge myself in the heart of the industry, in LA and the San Fernando Valley...
By now the nets potential became clear, and I began not only to manage my wifes site, but then with the assistance of a business partner, manage a network of over 200 interconnected sites back in about 2001 / 2002. In late 2002 I was asked to manage a 32,000 square foot production facility, and also the second largest adult Swingers club in the USA. It was also the largest in California. We even held adult conventions there with great attendances from the public. I also managed an adult themed hotel in Palm Springs which got wired up as a cam place (but that never went live due to restrictions at the time) and continued online as a webmaster and an affiliate for other people.
In order to look towards the future, I created a mainstream money generating opportunity of my own, which was linked to the studios location in Downtown LA, and lead to involvement with major productions. Without going into too much detail, the first collaboration was on Terminator 3 for the fire truck chase scene, and after that, we hardly went a single day without generating serious money. However, In early 05 we decided that our marriage wasn't working out, as she was no longer my 'priority' and we divorced amicably.
I moved to San Diego to assist in IT for a pal, however being near the border lead to a random raid looking for illegals, and I got swept up in it. I was indeed a visa overstay, so after 6 and a half months in 'detention' I was removed back to the UK.
Back in the UK I began indulging my passion for a personal micro niche fetish of mine, and made and sold content until 2013, when I called it a day and gave all my camera equipment away to a pal who wanted to start up a wedding business. And that brings me up to today. I am retired, living ff income made in the past and rental income from property purchased back here in the UK... My content brings me in a modest amount on C4S and my old domains redirect to hostedtube.
So no. I have never had a job working for someone else, and as far as life goes, thats pretty much my story. Well, at least the main highlights of it of course.

Yep, it sure was mate - I really miss it. Loads of stuff I missed out of course, like working for the UK satellite channels before going stateside and all the stuff I dd with Paul Raymond Magazine group etc...
But what a lot of readers wont realise though, is that back when I first picked up a video camera, in the UK, and started shooting my own stuff, the entire legal landscape was totally different to how it is today... Even selling tits and bum stuff was pretty much illegal, but proper hardcore porn, actually producing it, was a real proper crime! The chances of getting in real hot water were very high indeed, and well that added to risk, it added to the value of the product.
Here's a true thing that most non UK people wouldn't realise. Say you filmed a real life couple having loving, yet vanilla sex. They are both CLEARLY over the age of 18, they both get naked, guy gets aroused, 'makes love' in missionary position, and you film it. No fetish, no angle, no side, no violence... Just loving sex between a married couple...
So, you wanna sell it? Well you can't even advertise it directly - So you have to build up a list of 'trusted customers' who have purchased softcore pics from you in the past, and hope that you are not dealing with a narc. Then, you can't put it in the post - you have to find a courier service - Which wasn't easy back in the late 80s, as they just were not around.
Should you think, 'Fuck It, no one will find out' and just stick it in the post, heaven fucking help you if you got caught ! You see, as it 'couldn't' be certified (No 'R18' back then) by definition you were selling 'Obscene Material' which was in direct contradiction to the Obscene Publications Act (1964) - Strike 1.
Because you used the post, you have committed a crime against the Royal Family - As it was, and still is 'The ROYAL Mail' - Strike 2
But the cherry on the fucking top, was that as it Pornography, It was a crime of a SEXUAL NATURE against none other the Queen Herself -! That was Strike 3 & OUT!!!
Not only were you looking at automatic guaranteed jail time, and a massive fine - (Have to sell your house kinda massive fine) - when you got out of jail, and you had nowhere to live, you then had unenviable pleasure of having to visit the police station each week, to sign your name in a little book called 'The Sex Offenders Register'... For at least 10 years, meaning you couldn't go on holiday, leave the country, or even move fucking house without having to seek approval from the police...
All for selling a simple fuck film in the UK...
Yeah, I know that sounds pretty unbelievable in this day and age of pornhub and mobile phone camera uploads and stuff, but back in the day (When I were but a lad) that was really what I was dealing with... The risks I was taking... But I took them, and came out the other side. I was born into this business. Its all I understood how to do
I couldn't BELIEVE IT when I hit porn valley and realised anyone could shoot ANYTHING and dupe it onto a VHS, and sell it by the pallet load - With zero legal restrictions ? Paradise !!! lol
America was like a playground for me, where I could do pretty much anything I wanted to, within the porn market, but without fear of heavy jail time or fines etc. I was able to creatively express myself and show off my abilities, which lead to all the stuff that came later with the studios etc
But yeah, it's nice to be free of all of it now - Not looking over my shoulder etc but I really do miss those early days
Anyway, just for full reference, incase Im asked again in the future and I can only find this thread to reference, this was my wife, Layla~Jade:
A beautiful girl and a beautiful person, whom you'll never hear me say a bad word about, and here's a list of her movies:

This was of course back when it was all VHS and DVD. The 'Good Old Days' Before 'online only' took over
