well business wise, you maybe should start thinking like you ran a normal business like every others business as well.
I think 90% of all webmasters do still run their websites from their sleeping room, with hardly any fix costs and a few bucks comming in every month.
Maybe its also time for all the webmasters out there to rethink and make a proper company.
i dont know whats it like in the united states but most eu countries support new business founders very much. you get back the investmentcosts (100%)for hardware like computers, screens, printers.
If you still want to run your business from your home but you have a registered company with office in your home, you get back half of the monthly rent of your home (taxes are reduced).
making a company (like Limited, IBC. or INC which is anyway recommended for all ecommerce) takes very short time and does not cost a fortune. (around 1000 euros including atm and credit cards)
server cost nowadays dont cost a fortune. euro 200 a month and you get
unlimited bandwith.
as for employees do outsourcing whats possible, and the rest with affiliate marketing.
You dont have to say or state you work in porn, you simply live on comissions made by ecommerce.
I agree that the competition is fierce, however dont forget that 90% of all webmasters maybe make a 1000 bucks a month and dont even have a legitimate business or company.
If you start thinking that you run your websites as a business like every other business as well, you will see that cost are in fact very low in comparison with non adult or non online businesses, and the profits are still being made.
Try to specialize in a market, translate your website into one specific language, it is still very easy to get great google rankings at google.it, google.de or others.
example:
you shoot a sologirlsite (lets say the model costs you for 10days eur 3000,-- which is normal price in czech republic)
a camera for another 1000 euro
some lights for 800 euro
design of paysite 700 euro
affiliate programm 1000 euro
location 1000 euro
in sum thats 7500 euro
now calculate how many memberships a month you normally sell with your tgps or what so ever. lets say around 120 which is very realistic.
with a price of 25 us per membership you make revenue of 3000 us a month
lets say minus the clearing comissions and server cost you make 2000 profit.
that means your are break even in only 6 months !!!! (amortication of investment) and then you live from that.
and now think you had like 10 sologirlsites.
so now please tell me in which other business is that possible ?!
