do you enjoy this industry (regardless of money)
 

your thoughts?

all things considered.. its better than having a real job. But my main goal is eventually to do most if not all my business offline.

slooooooowly getting there:)

Well.. I'd prefer this over any other option I have currently. So I guess I enjoy this. I'm just such a lazy bastard, I wish I had millions of dollars getting 4% intrest on my bank account and do nothing.. but I have like 250? in my account, that doesn't get me huge intrest.

For a while its great but then I suppose I got used to it now so its nothing big anymore!!!

Still beats the ass outta most jobs in the world tho...Right??

:thumbsup

You know quiet...I've done a lot of things.

I tried stand up comedy...I worked in the commercial/film biz out in La...I've managed resteraunts...I was a repairman at Six Flags Over Texas (ass't foreman over video games repair)...I'd have to say tho' I love the fuck out of this job.

It's challenging...you must use all your skills from biz to art.
I don't just show up at an office and churn out shit all day long.

Sometimes there is a production line mentality in it especially when you're encoding video or cropping images etc...but when it comes to coming up with the perfect sales pitch...the perfect layout..design etc...it makes it al worthwhile.

I'm actually pretty indifferent to the porn industry itself.. But there's a lot to like..

1 - It's one of the only industries where a tech guy or a content guy or a biz guy can put together a respectable sized company from basically nothing.

2 - No bosses. I hate fucking working for people.

3 - The people. Lots of free spirited people in this industry. Very few sticks-up-asses here, like in the IT world where I came from.

I just like it. It could be selling blenders online for all I care.. The chicks are really just content after a while, you get dulled to it. You start to enjoy clothed women a whole lot more (mmmm.. Morgan Webb)

Yeah I agree with you...but one thing tho'.
I did the ebay thing for awhile and was making some decent extra cash and was building a nice bit of biz...but I got tired of all those damn trips to the post offices hauling packages..and don't get me started on the fucking packing.

I was always the guy selling the object that didn't fit in a standard free priority box.

It's only about the money and the way I go about making it.

I love the flexability it provides me.

This business is alot of hours and legally becoming a mess from credit cards to bible thumpers.

Make your money Love your money and get out :)

well said

In comparison with the other businesses I am also involved in, I enjoy this the most. I can't quite get my head around the longevity side of it though. I guess the bottom line is, I don't really want my kids to get involved with it.
I do spend a bit of time working on property development, which I see as a good area for my cash flow...

It was a lot more fun in the beginning when things seemed fresh, and less saturated and money wasn't rolling in. Like anything else I suppose, the newness and excitement wears off after awhile and all the big paychecks are just business as usual. Every other site looks the same, all the sponsors the same, avs's the same, email programs the same. Same old content and video feeds.

Need more toys, more entertaining diversions. What do you do to keep it interesting ?

I think most of us are kids, I'm 22 almost 23 but I still think of myself as a kid... :thumbsup

on 200K a year lol

It was good before all of you showed up and ruined it for the rest of us.

Thanks fuckers.

i love the opportunities internet porn has given me. take advantage of an opportunity, and reap it's rewards

i'm sure you're far ahead of the pack.

Quiet,

not that you haven't already thought about it, but why not have one of your employees mange your site(s) while you travel the world a bit?

My best job so far.

25 8 366

hah. this sounds wondeful from the outside. but believe me, the idea is a joke. i've been burned by everyone from basic employees, to family.

you run a business, you fucking run a business.

anyone who says, 'stop crying, just have some lackies run it' - is on crack. we should tell lensman to do the same. why does he work all the time? he should just hire some people to run everything for him.

:glugglug

anyway, i'm done in october :)

why????

NOTHING beats the lack of business expences of Internet Business..

hmm... I guess if you were gone.. it would open the gates for deals on the side.....

Absolutely love this business. Been good to me since 1984 :)

I used to think porn was a worthy diversion -- but really now I think it's stupid. There needs to be more focus on beauty instead of "How much power do I have over this woman?"

agreed... but in my case nothing would beat the satisfaction of running a well known company.

Its a long ways off but it'd be cool to hit the nasdaq:)

What's going on in October?

Hey can you redirect some traffic to my art site?

IOW,
you are after Glory and not after money, right?

been in it for 2years....... cant say that i dont like it... ive directed a Daily show www.allnudesports.com and taken about 15k pics , and marketed a great company ..... www.aebn.com
holla!

Both... Point is offline business should squash online business. The internet should be merely a means to cost-effectively transmit your message to the world.

I agree. Can I get all your redhead content when you go ? :)

i'm done with adult internet in oct. all excess traffic will have already been sold at point.

:glugglug

I have worked in Management Consulting for close to 2 years.

Never have I ever worked with such fake and treacherous people before. Ready to exploit YOU (the employee) and their CLIENTS (the customer) at any opportunity.

Thank God for porn!

'do you enjoy this industry'

yep.

Well congrats... That's not an easy thing to do...

I'm going to try my hand at selling my art on the net through my current traffic sources at first -- just to see what is possible...

Love it
I spent 2 years doing this parttime while still working other businesses from both an employee stand point and a part owner. Now having a partner is plain ruthless outside of the internet!

Lots of work but how many businesses can you get into that through networking a fellow webmaster/business person will help you? Send customers to your sites, give you pointers and just plain help you make more money overall?

So, I do love it!

I'm only in this industry because the money is so good. I don't get much pleasure from being a part of it, and knowing that I've sold porn to thousands of people doesn't exactly fill my heart with pride.

I do like porn. I like to watch it when I wanna jerk off. But if I could own a company that could make as much easy money as I currently do, I would be out of this industry tomorrow.

fuck jobs :)

I like this industry. Well, no, that's not right. I like the parts of it I am involved in. Couldn't take a lot of the bullshit. Taking the photos I like, running my sites, and haveing some independence mean a lot to me. Better than an office job.

I like this industry but personally i'm only here for the money. I'd much rather be working in a industry where I got off the damn computer and worked outside or dealt with REAL people all day long instead of working on porn sites day in day out.

Funny, I was photoshoping a girls image for a new paysite i'm working on last night, I had just masked her and I had to ZOOM right up 1200% up to here twat and get rid of the left over masking bits and brushing around that area really did bring what I do into perceptive. Funny shit anyways.

I do probably own my current life to this industry so I'll never diss it but fuck I am kinda sick of porn. I'm gonna make a shitload of money and then go get a normal social job.
