To make money in porn.

[Paul Markham]

Find something that you can do, which hasn't been done to death and can't be copied by 100s of other people.

Research it until you know it better or as well as your target market.

Make it personal and as if it's a piece of you.

Give it a unique twist.

Things you can't do well, find people who can.

Set out a business plan and strategy with targets.

Then be ready to work very hard and lose money for 6 months.

There are no short cuts to success that really work. Hard work is the least important, having a great idea and the talent to do it are what really counts.

I typically do not mind Paul. However, I also make it a point to not get sucked into his banter.

This thread however, looks like two broken records, Markham and DVTimes, seeking attention.

Don't "Find what works and rinse and repeat".

If you don't have a very good idea of what works, educate yourself. While you rinse and repeat, the market is leaving you behind or copying you. Always be building and adapting.

As Adam says most porn is free. So find a way to present your porn in a unique way that creates the impulse to buy.

Treat customers with respect or they won't respect you or your product.

You build a "better mousetrap", provide a value, and develop some interaction with your members.

It's not rocket science.

Thank you for this cookie cutter advise, Paul. Anyone could've said it better.

Sadly today for most people it might as well be rocket science. I can see by the abuse, a real lack of intelligent debate. Abuse is for them their retreat.

I was thinking about what Jeff had posted and many more. About working hard and clever, 8 hours etc. Hard work is what labourers do and it doesn't make them rich.

Work clever only applies, if you know what to be clever about.

Telling people to build a better mousetrap is not any help if they don't have a clue what it is or how to find out about it. See this for some clues. http://gfy.com/showpost.php?p=19070507&postcount=1

Sorry buckaroo. No one is going to give you the blueprint, hold your hand, and wipe your ass.

People have pointed you in the right direction, if you can't take it from there, you do not deserve to be in business. If people need someone to give them the blueprint, explain every little detail, to the point of developing direct competitors, you're helpless.

At that point, you (in general terms, not you specifically) need someone to help wipe your ass, and deserve to die out (like many of the 2001 guys have done) or be forced back to the fry-o-later and paper hat where you belong.

Your business model was a fluke, and based on good internet bubble timing, nothing more.

This is the best post I can remember seeing from you Paul.

I agree 100%, sit down, build a plan, LIVE it.
