Are you still in the adult biz?

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

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! ;-)

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.
