Who successfully moved from Adult to Mainstream?
 

I did.

Who is with me?

What do you do now?

I am a Publisher ("Affiliate") in the mainstream world.

I have too. I'm promoting foreclosures.

I did.
But...
...after having lots of domains blacklisted by google, i came back to porn :thumbsup

Still trying to make the transition. Having a few obstacles and hurdles I'm going through.
WG

We just built a new facility to house a new project launching later this year with nearly 60,000 products in a rather unsaturated online market.

I'll be in this biz until the money runs dry :)

DH

we're going the opposite direction.. =)

mind if i ask what prompted the switch, from all of you who said you did?

the thing i don't get about mainstream is there doesn't seem to be kind of networking like in adult. for example link exchanges and traffic trades. how do you get the traffic? of course you're not going to just tell me but its what i wonder. se's will give you only so much without plenty o' backlinks.

porn is so much easier to make a sale, why bother?

sure you did.

I successfully moved from mainstream to adult :thumbsup


now I guess i can be considered a hybrid webmaster

Depends on what you consider mainstreme.

I would like to get more into mainstreme, (non dating / pharm) etc

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I went from Upper Mainstream to ADULT, and I couldn't be happier!!! :thumbsup

My former hitch was Senior Logistics Engineer in the Aerospace industry. And NO that isn't a joke.

did a little "mainstream" i guess you could call it, before i got into adult.


adult is more beneficial to say the least

PayPal did the transition well.

"My former hitch was Senior Logistics Engineer in the Aerospace industry. And NO that isn't a joke."

So you were a Supply Sgt in the Air Force ?

2000: Adult -> Gaming .... 2004: Gaming -> Adult ... I wish I had just stayed here all along :|

What's "upper mainstream"? Is there a lower mainstream? Is there an upper adult? lower adult?

What kind of gaming sites did ya run?

casino/sportsbook

*raises hand*

"Upper Mainstream" in the DFW area that means over $200K annual. I took a paycut going to adult, but that will be made up in less than 6-months. :)

I'm dabbling in mainstream right now for the first time. I've been neck deep in research for the past 2 weeks. There are interesting opportunities to say the least.

and there are just as many ways to get traffic in mainstream as there are in adult - and variations of similar business models like link exchanges and traffic trades.

Just like adult, it comes down to networking and figuring out your "niche".

:2 cents:

Scratch that!

There's NO MONEY IN MAINSTREAM!

Move along ... nothing to see here!

:winkwink:

Nah waste of time.. Porn 4 life YO

I'm inbetween as of now.
It's a bit of a headache, because you want to mix adult with mainstream at times

I'm currently trying my chances on mainstream, but I don't pretend to leave adult... it's just diversification. :winkwink:

Dude there is money in mainstream. Just because you can't figure it out does not mean it doesn't exist.

hmm okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

I will stay in this biz dude. There are more money here than in mainstream.

I think Mike from Silvercash owns directnic.com, now that's a serious mainstream business.

:error :error

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

some funny replies in this thread.

I think moneybookers is making the transition.

I think you shouldn't have left this porn and engage in both biz.
