contributing to evil

if you could make the same amount of money elsewhere, would you be here? let's say the same exact money, except mainstream rather than adult. what would you choose? i'd be out of adult in a second.

your thoughts?

Yeah I would probably be gone too.. it was kinda cool to play the fake internet pimp when I was in my early 20s..

Now that I am in my late 20s.. not so cool.

Dunno. I'm quite happy now. If I found a 'niche' in mainstream I'd like.. I'd probably do that too. I don't think I'd leave adult.

your thoughts?
not sure if i'll ever make the $$ in porn as i am currently making in mainstream, but i have the time to do this and enjoy it sofar.

i personally don't feel like i'm contributing "to evil" porn will always be here it just depends on what is shown and how it is presented.

I tried making money in mainstream but it's really difficult.

I hired one lady to consult me and she basically said the trick to getting traffic is through meta tags and shit. So youre supposed to make pages, submit them to se's and sit there and wait a few months and cross your fingers.

Unless you own a site that's been around for years, I have no idea how people make money with mainstream sites.
And theres so many "make money from home e-book" scams out there, it's an industry on to itself.
I dont know how people make money on ebay either. They buy wholesale and sell wholesale so their margins must be small. Unless they're selling e-books.

Mainstream probably, far fewer billing hassles and other threats.
The eagerness with which i'd jump also depends on exactly what it was in "mainstream"...
I know a guy who was crazy into cars and started selling old car prints online from the 50's to the 00's at up to $100 a pop, made so much money he quit his day job.
Something like that you were passionate about? man, I wouldn't hesitate, but it all depends there would be a lot of mainstream biz more boring than this.
But then again it's a funny hypothetical in that no one would give up a successful porn biz for mainstream when they can branch out and just have both

if you had to hire someone to tell you about metatags I don't doubt the venture wasn't successful, mainstream isn't so unrelated to adult.. not as much as you might think at any rate. don't forget it takes months to start earning income in adult as well.. theres nothing online you start from scratch and are rolling in it a month later... well without a lot of money up front at any rate.

After working in adult for many years I made a transition to mainstream and would never turn back. The money is better, it's more stable AND I can tell my kids where daddy works.
