Agreed.

I, like many have posted here over the years, have had that conversation with models, our friends, some stranger who finds out what you do or some newbie. You are talking about business, and in the middle somewhere you hear that "sex sells" and all you need is some naked women, a camera, and throw it up on the net.

It used to make me LOL out loud, now I just smirk and tell them, 'good luck'.

I also can think of ENDLESS examples of newbies or people who want to get into adult, and give up in 3/6/9 months because they are barely making any money. Or think what it takes to generate QUALITY, FILTERED traffic is too hard. So they would just rather buy it from some broker, and then wonder why they can't sell shit.

23. Online business is no different then the real world. It requires WORK.
