Are you still in the adult biz?
 

I'm curious. A lot of people who hang out here have already made their money in adult. Some have retired and enjoy the fruits. Some have pissed it all away. Others have simply moved on looking for the next big thing.

So let's see how many are still actively slinging porn and how many are just hanging around to socialize or whatever.

well i'm not on the way out
but while only 10-50% income is from adult, this is a record setting year for us in adult.

So just like everything else i do in life, there is no category for me in this poll either :)

I haven't been until I stared working for Nick and Gomzo..... but I enjoy it quite a bit...... so for the last several months i have been and because they are good people I have enjoyed it.....

Re: Are you still in the adult biz?
 

I'm on the way out. As my mainstream ventures pick up, I let go of more of my adult stuff.

Re: Are you still in the adult biz?
 

Yes, still here :)

Re: Are you still in the adult biz?
 

I won't be going anywhere to quick.

;-)

Re: Are you still in the adult biz?
 

I'm working on getting out ;) Right now adult is still 80% of my income though.

Re: Are you still in the adult biz?
 

I'm a relative newb, so yeah all my income at present is from porn. I'm on the lookout for other alternatives too though.

My husband is on his way out...as soon as he finishes adding thirty seven initials after his name.....he's going back to his great love....machines....although we do maintain our pay sites....I am firmly entrenched in porn.....

We are believers in several revenue streams, so there is porn and mainstream ....for us, plus a new mainstream project with some friends.

I'm pretty much out.

But I never really considered myself a porner.

I just came accross this great new ( well ,new to me) way of marketing a product to millions of people.

Hell , back in 1997 ,I posted along the lines if I could be paid as much for selling golf clubs online , I'd be selling golfclubs.Nowadays my talents are waaaay better rewarded in non-adult.

Probably less than 10% from porn; its nice to be able to jump the fence from corporate to adult and vice versa.

Re: Are you still in the adult biz?
 

To quote SnagglePuss ... :)

50-50 right at the moment. By end of year expect 90% to be from mainstream and offline ventures. Will probably always keep a toe or a foot in the door however.

Very interesting spread so far. All over the place.

My approach is same as it has always been, I put the money and resources onto whichever projects look to have the best return rates. However, spread it around and use some of the excess to take some risks. I also will occasionally buck the trends as I've had good success by doing so over the years.

Our mainstream ventures are currently growing at an exponential rate, but the adult still provides the steadier returns. As adult gets tougher, it actually regains it's appeal to me as it weeds competition and creates opportunities.

I've been pretty much out of 'adult' for the past year and a half..... got rid of a few hundred adult domains earlier this year, and just left a few that I have some sentimental attachment to! ;-)

Re: Are you still in the adult biz?
 

Very much so and I'm loving it! Can't imagine NOT working in this biz.

Re: Are you still in the adult biz?
 

Get back into it, dammit - I miss our AM coffees! :(

Re: Are you still in the adult biz?
 

While most of what we do is still Adult related, and probably always will be, we are slowly getting away from "Porn". Now that we've made our money, we're doing things we want to do, Most of that is Adult Lifestyles related. Being "Swingers" for over 20 years, we want to get out and play (and make money) from that community.

Due to an 8 year old son at home, I have no reason to fully retire until he is 18. I figure I may as well do something to keep me busy, and this is as good as any. ;)

Re: Are you still in the adult biz?
 

With all of the divorce drama and just total burnout, I was pretty much out and then got an offer i couldn't refuse...announcement coming in about a week or so...
I did enjoy my little break, though and truly needed it.

Re: Are you still in the adult biz?
 

I believe in having as many revenue streams as possible

Re: Are you still in the adult biz?
 

Moved to Mainstream. I just don't like anyone in mainstream, all the cool people are in porn, well, except Serge.

Re: Are you still in the adult biz?
 

Agreed.
