Why adult business is doomed to fail
 

All the in-fighting is absolutely amazing and a total waste of fucking time. It's a wonder some of you get anything done. Now granted every business will have a little drama, but the shit here is down right silly. Grown men/women aren't supposed to act this way.

You'll never see Robert Ulrich (Target CEO) or H. Lee Scott (Walmart CEO) ripping each other apart in any kind of public forum, online or off, and they are serious competitors. God damned amazing some of you even have business contacts, if you truly do. A lot of business is based on personality. I can tell you right now, there are a lot here that I would not do business with, simply because of their asinine post and behaviour.

Jesus, grow up and get over this petty shit.

Very true... However I think you are in the wrong business...

Xbiz people are like this... all the dumb people will not trade FOREX or work in Wall Street.. they could never do so, because they are brain limited.. So they work in porn..

They have too much free time, that's why they start these dramas. It's called socializing (when you don't go out too much).

You are right in general but it's funny how you compare these guys

to 20 year old kids who dropped out of highschool and try their luck in making gallery pages promoting "her first double penetration" paysites

well.. you can't complain after all.. you do money thanks to those guys..

keep changing names, first it was juggcash, then brazers (what a stupid retard name btw).. what name are you going to use next? :1orglaugh

stupid polish jew... your grand-granfather was lucky enough..

true... There are lots of persons I have never done biz with, just because they act like idiots.

Post of the year... moron

Those guys dont probably spend much time online... and if they did, I bet they would be at each other's throats with names like BadTarget and JuicyMart

to each his own,business is business.. they may act like idiots at times, but that's just who they are. Aslong as me associating with them doesn't bring me down, then I'll do business wit hthem. People can be complete morons personality wise but if they run a good business internally then I'm dealing with the business side of things. Most people unfortunately use this board to goof around.

This is exactly what I'm referring to. :(

great post!

I'm pretty sure the porn business will out-survive us idiots.

agreeeeeed

haha w0rd man :thumbsup

no money in porno ...thanks

it's all in good fun, anywone who takes it seriously needs to step away for a bit.

Very true very true. Internet growth means we have to deal with the idiots who can finally afford a computer

you're comparing affiliates and small site owners with the ceo from target and wallmart? Nah... that ain't very realistic compare the big guys with the big guys: do you see Becky from ARS creating drama? Or the owner of TheHun? Or the Silvercash owner? Or any other person that owns a reputable, wellknown business?

I don't see the vast majority suffering from infighting.

3:35PM Robert Ulrich : Can you send me $100 Paypal for $105 Epass
3:36PM H. Lee Scott : You never paid me last time you scammer!
3:37PM Robert Ulrich : Fuck you bitch! You hire illegal aliens!
3:38PM H. Lee Scott : Ya, you sell outdated produce!

exactly.

This is the best reply in this thread. He's comparing the broke idiots on gfy to the big mainstream players, while there are definately some wealthy people in the adult biz that just don't hang on boards, one of the reasons they acttually do make some money...LOL:1orglaugh

There are a quota of serious webmasters here who have a clue and a degree of business accumen - they are obvious. It's also awesome that some others can spend 24/7 on a chatboard - fat chance of doing any work of any kind.

On a totally different angle, but related to the thread title, - sure, the adult biz will drop in relevance. It has been dropping since the early 70's with the spread of "adult stores". When populations no longer have a "mystique" about porn and become familiar - the novelty/appeal angle and interest drops.

As a comparison, (and this has varied from country to country), it was hard not to earn serious money in the 60's-70's onwards by producing porn, cartons of "sex cosmetics" or whatever. It got to a level, we had to keep airshipping in product cos it was sold by the time it arrived. This is no longer the case - again, the "mystique" no longer exists in most western countries.

At the same time, there are new people to market to, and other developing nations where there still is a novelty value (tho depends on economics and legalities within these nations), but, they will be the main earners for the adult biz in future.

Familiarity breeds contempt - and that can influence a market substantially. The net is no different and has a contributed to losing the "mystique" of porn in a big way - it's now commonplace and nothing special.

As with any industry, there are intricacies that only the truly successful understand. It just so happens that one's ability to attack/defend, brag/retract, spam/promote etc. etc. in a public forum are qualities of success inherent to this particular industry. This is not a politically correct industry and it never will be. If you ever doubt that, refer to the header of this site.

For example, it would be completely acceptable for me to reply to your post with:
Now if I were an account rep and afraid of losing my job because I didn't know dick about how the industry worked, I'd most likely reply with:
While this forum is very-much a business oriented forum, the reality is that a lot of us know each other very well off the board as well. A lot of business done is done not in public, or on forums, or meant for other people to see.

CreatineGuy is a good example of a complete fucking moron that will never be successful in this industry no matter how hard he tries, however. Other people you'd be really surprised if you met them in person how creative and smart they actually are compared to how big of an asshole they can play on a message board.

cheaaaaaapshot

Good points and I also think probably only 40% of the people on this board actually work fulltime in adult.

that's a good point tony, i actually never think about that.

The Target and Wal Mart CEO's have other people or third party companies that they hire or fund to sling their mud at each other for them. They just have enough cash to do drama by proxy.

You don't take anyone serious here do you? I come here for laughs only.

remember many of those guys do not make ANY money

Just my thoughts...
 

It seems to me that most adult webmasters do not know how to write up a simple business plan for themselves as to determine their overhead and forecast their potential growth...

Its one thing to have words with another, however arguments on the subject of marketing and technical areas are way too complex for forums and a basic understanding is required first... It also seems to me that adult webmasters will try to make themselves appear to be more knowledgeable then what they really are as to gain an upper hand in their marketing. The pros do argue, however they seem to learn very fast that they are not making much money doing so...

O and bump.

Later,

ha ha brilliant!

Hahaha, awesome. I can picture it now.

adult is the same biz like others and rules the same.

Two businesses that are always steady even in times of recession:
Porn
Gambling

All very good points. I did use a bad comparison. But I used that comparison simple because most of the people (I use that term loosely) claim to be rolling in the bucks. That was obviously a mistake on my part. there is no way any of those people have even moved out of moms basement.
