As you know, Joanna Angel is one of my top clients and I work on her solo girl site and other sites she owns as an independent contractor.

She also has an office with employees on staff.

While I do spend some resources promoting with free sites with fair results, I have written off TGPs a long time ago.

However, one of the employees was successful at getting a gallery placed on The Hun.

In 2 days we got 175,000 unique visitors from The Hun.

Anyone want to guess how many sign-ups we got?

(Gonzo -don't answer.)
I'm gonna go for less than 10?

Less than 10 is correct.

Anyone want to see if they can get closer than that?

I was gonna guess zero......but I didn't want to win another prize from Gonzo, and I thought it might be too depressing to say Zero.

I have one lady I’ve been promoting for quite sometime that does okay on The Hun. Over a (3) day period on my last accepted gallery I pulled in about (8) sales.

I know that’s not a huge number by many peoples standards, but I don’t think it’s too bad for about an hours worth of work.

Reminding you of my first response to this thread:

Quote:
Wow. Great thread.

In general, I agree with Forest that this business is recession resistant. My business is rolling along. All of these areas are either up or steady for me, and nothing is down:

B2B side: Web Development, SEO & Consulting, Traffic development - all doing good.

B2C side: Burning Angel, Joanna Angel, Cigar Glamour - all sites have subscriptions up.

Tobacco (since it was mentioned) - Referral sales for Cigar Review are up. Keep in mind too that premium handmade cigars are more of a luxury product than an addiction, like cigarettes.

The only thing that I have heard is down a little is advertising spending on the B2B side in the adult online business, but that was just from one person.
I usually don't report more specifics than that except to the IRS.

I don't disclose figures publicly, so let me answer that like this...

My monthly net income is more than many of the amateur sites that I promote.

I would assume that producing content is profitable. There are a lot of people doing it. I am sure they don't produce content as a hobby. I know I do it as a business.

That's not bad at all actually. Is that on a paid pipe though?

Nope! Just a gallery submitted the old fashion way using sponsor content on a "Hun Approved" free host.

I think Mr.Review likes plain simple galleries the best, and I'm the very definition of plain and simple :D

PS. Just so we're clear again, I still collect all the cans east of Walnut Grove right?

I was looking for something the other day and came across my full set of Busty Babes (including the Busty Babes Go Wild and the really, really bad gay CDs). I am figuring I am going to have to transfer them off CD because pretty soon we won't have anything to read them with.

We plan on keeping a vintage machine around, on the network, for just such an Occasion...


I still have an MFM drive somewhere...

Aha! Freehost!

The Hun actually sends enough traffic to nudge paid hosting up a tier. Can make getting listed a money losing proposition.

As an aside.
Kevin is doing quite well and living the life.
His mainstream guess during that time paid off big for him and hes living quite comfortable and making a nice chunk of change.
He changed his focus to mainstream early on and it paid off for him.
