OK, so I didn't really die. But after several years running sites as a side hustle, I mostly stepped away from the business in 2013. Now I'm contemplating getting back in if it's worth it. Not sure if GFY is still the best place to ask, but I'll give it a shot.
My story: I was an affiliate and ran a small network of blogs and a model directory. I probably put in 10-15 hours a week and at peak I was making around $1500 a month. Definitely not fuck you money but enough to buy a few nice things, take a few nice trips, etc.
I had kids and my career also became more demanding so I largely gave up on this side hustle. I left a few of my most popular blogs up along with the model directory. Over the years, I've made the occasional update, more as a hobby, and typically when a specific scene or model caught my attention.
Where I'm at: Some of the blogs are niche specific and some are general hardcore. The posts are all custom text written by me along with 2-3 pictures and sometimes a video. I add 2-3 posts a year to each blog. The model directory has about 150 models in it with links to FHGs. I also add 2-3 girls per year to it.
Collectively I still get about 300 hits a day, mostly from Google and from some Twitter accounts running on autopilot (one with 35K followers, a few others with 4-8K followers). I still make about $1000 a year mostly from a combination of Chaturbate, solo girl CCBill sites and Gamma.
Kids are older, I'm working from home full time and my career requires less time, and I now find myself with some spare time every week. I'm not looking to get rich (though that would be nice), but I wouldn't mind turning that $1000 a year in to $5000 or more.
My ask: Is it still worth it? With what I have still running, can I turn that in to a few K per year? If so, should I make any changes? And where can I go for traffic nowadays? Or should I pivot to something else? Or invest my time in sometime mainstream instead?
Any advice or help would be appreciated, though I'm preferably not looking for bullshit sales pitches. Alternately, feel free to tell me to go fuck myself. Thanks!
