What area in this Industry remains stable and profitable?
 

People are pissed at ratios what with the tubes, billing practises, global recession and so on.

What work in adult (for example content providers, production, designing, programming or whatever) do you feel continues to thrive?

I might be called biased BUT dating and cams are positively thriving.

I've been a Dating Gold affiliate since 2004 (I now also work FOR dg) and I'm one of our top promoters. This year things have never been better for me. The truth is sex will always sell. You can't give sex away for free on tube sites in the form of actual sex or simulated sex on cam. So it really doesn't affect dating or cams. If you want to chat more, feel free to hit me up to talk some biz.

could you please explain why being one of Dating Gold's top earners, you still decided to work a job for them?
I'd imagine that being one of the top promoters of an established dating program pays way more than being a sales rep.

anyway, not my biz, just a genuine question

I don't mind answering. It's a good question! :)

My affiliate business operates pretty smoothly, thanks to help from my wife and other people who work for me. I could take a vacation for a few years with a laptop and business would run nice enough. But vacations are not for me; I like to work and grow. I'm always on the lookout for new business opportunities. And I don't limit myself to dating and cams. I do a huge amount of work in mainstream and it's growing every year.

I was asked this year by DG to join the team. I gave it some serious thought and came to a few conclusions.

Dating Gold is, in my opinion, the best affiliate program online. Becoming a sales rep gives me the opportunity to derive income from a new revenue stream and an opportunity, now that I have my foot in the door, to grow within a growing organization. Not only that but it represents a chance for me to network within the industry and develop friendships as well as learn more about the business; I know a lot about being an affiliate but I have a lot to learn when it comes to the other side.

So, to answer your question succinctly, I did it for money, career-advancement, and opportunities to network and learn more.

condom sales never stop

People can get, and already are, addicted to porn...


Thread closed?

simple - none
dating and cams are hit pretty hard too, never mind what reps are telling you

good point

This is my opinion and, really, only a theory. I'm also going to use an analogy... selling porn online is like the gold rush of the wild west. There were people who spent all day mining for gold and then there were those who sold the shovels.

In porn, I would "think" that being able to offer people the "tools" so they can dig for gold would get you the most mileage. People running pay sites are digging for gold and those designing them are selling the shovels. The same goes for those programming scripts, shooting content, etc... they're selling the tools so the rest can mine for gold.

So, even though the people selling the tools don't have it on easy street... my opinion is that as long as there's any hope for internet gold, the people able to sell the dreamers the tools they need will thrive.

sigwhoring

illegal tubes remain stable and profitable

Live cams. Get in touch if you'd like to chat about options (contact info in signature).

People keep saying dating and cams.

imagine if you combined the power of sigwhoring with illegal tubes:Oh crap

Hosting providers who specialise in dirt cheap bandwidth for some of the huge traffic sites...I would say this service must be in demand currently however the very very cheap rates being offered nowadays does makes me wonder how this type of business model can be profitable when I see so many now offering numbers such as $4 per Mbps?

Start a Free Cam Site, all live shows with chat like club17live used to do well. Now make that free for privates everything!

Then sell non porn products.

Any other questions?

I'm not sure if people would readily share this information considering the siege mentality that a shrinking income pool generates.

bitching, bragging and trolling is a pretty stable part in online

Unfortunately, not too profitable.

Were cams ever good? lol

Excellent analogy PornAddict, but lately even 'shovel' sales are way down for us tool sellers.

Escorts.

(By the way, I'm selling a one-stop solution to get into the escort business, hit me up if you're interested)

hmmm, where have I heard that before?

nothing remains profitable. leave please.

If you have a vagina you'll be fine.

Software for webmasters is doing well. :D

yeah i dont think sharing your ideas with a bunch of strangers is intelligent but everything works if the right people are taking it to market

We are growing, but find that we don't fit the porn busines model. Think that may be a good thing....

Check out our dating program. We target niche dating such as BDSM, Swingers, and Casual Sex sites. We will be adding a tranny site shortly. Hit me up if you have any questions.

Everything in this industry is profitable.. you just gotta work it.

Consistancy, integrity, and longevity.... Any program, like ours, that can hold its members even with the adult worlds evolving into a whole different game. Customers want to be able to trust.

if u cant beat them, join em. setup 4135212431 tube sites with stolen content and then sell dating/cam :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

theft.. seems to be doing great these days..

Not so long ago I'd say that Cams/Dating is something that will never get replaced by something free.

Now I look at the free cam sites where girls WANT people to see them naked and ask myself - srslywtf?

Tube sites killed the paysite model.

Free community cam sites will kill the camsite model.

And now I'm seeing more and more smaller adult social sites pop up. Most get revenues from premium sms services, like get your whorish profile on the main page for $1. Not sure if this is a threat to the dating model. But if a major player in the mainstream social networking biz launches an adult section on their site (for example, visible only to singles over 18), the business as we know it might change a bit too drastically.
