I've been seriously thinking about selling up everything, getting away from the PC and going back to university and finishing my degree. 6 years in this biz is a long time!

So, why do YOU stay in this industry? Thoughts?

if i earn more money than in adult biz i will quit

Because I failed in mainstream but still wanted to be in online biz.

Some thoughts:

1) I don't consider it a job

2) I love getting paid to explore and create new methods of generating traffic

3) It's the only thing, outside of art, that I can find that excites my passion for creating something tangible from intangible ideas.

there might be times where it can be a little stressful, but i've never hated it. if you hate it...for any amount of time...it's time to re-evaluate.

I am in it for the dough. I do not like 90% of porn but then I rarely have to look at it or deal with it. The dough is very good but it does cramp your real life. I am getting ready to go out tonight and I will not announce to the room that i sell porn for a living. One person there will know but everyone else will not.

I would like a business like this that I could be open about.

:Oh crap

Ever notice how the Internet Porn business is always 2 steps ahead of mainstream Internet business? Pay-per-click ads, Porn first. Keyword targeted ads, again portn before Google. Paid subscriptions online, porn. etc. etc. etc.

Screw school, the only reason to get a degree is if you want to go work for someone else. If you want to work for yourself and get out of porn, take your skills you learned here and apply them to mainstream business.

Mortgage companies will pay a truckload for lead generation for instance. How many really good geo-ip targeted mortgate ads do you see showing great deals in your area?

My opinion is the cutting-edge stuff being discussed on GFY right now will be standard marketing procedure for maintstream business when they finally catch on.

Breaking into mainstream ain't that easy though. Need to learn the basics such as who pays who doesn't, what converts, new traffic sources become available and old ones vanish (the whole free samples for traffic deal in adult) etc. etc. etc.
