Over the past few months I have had some interesting conversations. Whether industry vets, those kinda new, or those who are just looking to invest in adult.

In those various conversations and reading boards what are some of the most common misconceptions you come across? Whether friends and family, board persona's, or people in 'da biz'?

Here are some that give me a chuckle....

1. Clip stores are not worth the effort.
2. You can't make real money on content that is not HD, high end, super models.
3. You must have a pay site, DVD, VOD, to make your money back on content.
4. Niche or fetish is overrated.
5. The message boards are how you gauge the health of 'the industry'.
6. No real business gets done on boards anymore.
7. TGP's are dead.
8. The pay site model is dead.
9. Programmers or designers that are high end are worth every penny.
10. No industry 'ballas' read the boards anymore.

What are yours?
