Mike AI: 10k in cash is enough to start and do something with.... Most of us came to the adult industry with less then that. I personally started with a credit card, old computer and dial up account out of my bedroom in my moms house.>>>>>


DV: I started my phone room and magazine with start-up money. Back then you had to. When that went belly up I started my online business 30K in the red, with debt. That was back in 1995. Luckily I was still doing consulting and doing pro-domination sessions throughout the week.



Mike AI: While adult is going down faster then a choir boy on Father O'Henry, I still think it is the best opportunity to make money. This is one reason I am investing money for new sites, custom content, etc....>>>>>

DV: Remember last year we were talking about this? Things started to change. The only ones that will survive this domino effect will be business people who have already diversified in the industry and begin using standard business practices. Not this “Open window in and out” concept so many adult webmasters were successful at for a time.

Custom content, quality niches, well run businesses will survive. I’m actually kind of happy about the changes because I see my signups increasing. I don’t have to compete as hard.

Mike AI: I look at other investments, and other opportunities and none have the same potential - at least for right now.>>>>

DV: I will always have a few projects going on. I never put all my eggs in one basket. Last night I was talking to a close friend who I do some non-adult business with. The truth is that there isn’t anywhere I can make this kind of money doing as little as I do. I make money when I’m sleeping. I like that!


Mike AI: But at the end of the day, it might be time to GET A JOB WITH SOMEONE ELSE..... ( of course with a website you could run it at night on your own time, and still have a job to keep you fed)>>>>

DV: this is how I got started. I didn’t fire my clients until I knew I could recover the income. I have a lot of family responsibilities. I can’t afford to take too many risk but at the same time risk if the only way you’ll soar high.

Mike AI: Oh and I love the idea of a doggie camp in Florida - I could use one when I travel.... need to make it closer to Tampa! Or do pick and up delivery.... you would love my 2 dogs!!>>>

DV: I love the idea too. After all I have so much land here. I LOVE dogs. I’m going to do some numbers and see what works. I’m way out in the country which is really nice. I know friends in NYC that drive their dogs two hours each way to take their pets to a nice safe doggie camp. I want mine to be really posh. I would install cams everywhere, set up a site so that people could logon and see their pets and the facility. I think that would be a big perk.I always wanted to get into the cam business, right?

It’s going to cost a lot more then 10K to do that business right!
