Yes.

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.

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

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.

Reminding you of my first response to this thread:

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.

I supplement my income by picking up alumninum cans.
