People are definitely spending more money on security this year than last.

I've been averaging a good 20% growth year on year since the late 90s. I think I'm going to plateau here pretty soon unless I can find new ways to expand... or if my top secret cloning experiments finally work.
![]() Fortunately, my expenses have remained basically static during the period as well, but I know all too many people who aren't in that fortunate position and who're getting absolutely hammered by gas increases, stagnant wages and inflation. I always wryly suggest that adult could solve all thier ills, if they're willing to... SELL THEIR SOULS, MAUAHAHAHAHAHA! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

I sense some dishonesty in this thread, so I'd like to say that I'm making considerably less than a couple of years ago (still more than you), but now I have stock options and I'll be uber-rich ANY DAY NOW.

more money (specially after switching to mainstream). But maybe the better question to ask would be... "Do you have more diverse revenue streams than last year"? My personal goal is to keep building new business streams. You just never know when streams will dry up. Diversification is a key asset.

This business is still growing every year, just because your slice of the pie is shrinking doesn't mean that's what the majority of us are experiencing. |

Sorry I went out to eat, for some reason I've been thinking a lot about this thread in my time away I've come up with "what should have been said". Lenny, I don't know what you do or who you are but you've been a member of this board since at least 2001. Surely you've noticed the concentration of bullshitters on this board (and industry as a whole) claiming everything is on the up and up when in fact it couldnt be further from the truth. Claiming that 'I suck' doesn't hold water as you don't know what I do or who I am - but on the same note my assumption that "the majority", as I've misstated, are lower in adult revenue is also just an assumption. Truth be told, my slice of the adult pie has shrunk considerably and I know of several others who experienced the same. To deny this is foolish - but to assume the majority of players are experiencing it, well that's just as foolish. The industry has a lot more participants then when I first started and my generation was ten fold the one before us - each addition of new members slices a little bit more of the pie for themselves. Yes I agree there are people who are growing in this industry, people who have just started a program, people who've developed new software, hundreds of new B2B services, even new methods of promotion. In my personal opinion are all the people who posted that they're making 5x the revenue really doing so - no. It's hot air. Keep in mind I'm thinking about those of us who earn our livings from adult. Not those who've gone from one sale a month to two.
