I believe a noob can walk in today and be successful, but he's not going to get it right the first time. If he is driven, pays attention to stats, learns from others and really puts in effort with a niche that has potential, he can make it. Odds are not in his favor, but people beat the odds every day. People beat cancer and summit mountains all the time, so making money in porn isn't really mission impossible.
Strip away all the bullshit and your only real goal is to get a guy who probably already has his cock in his hand to pay for whatever it is your selling so that he can cum to the image or video he thinks he needs to satisfy whatever craving he has at that moment. If you have a penis you know the process. Some strokers are frugal so you need to cater to them as well, but most of them just want to get off. Help them.
And to touch one what Theo just said, you MUST get your tours optimized and try to find out what works best for them. Sometimes just changing a color or a single image makes a word of difference. I see some new guys posting their tours on here and they are awful. I'm not talking about slick graphics, I'm talking about functionality and clear vision of what the site is. Getting them from A to Z should be quick and painless. If they have to figure out how to work your site or how to get to the next page, you will lose them as fast as you got them. I don't believe slick graphics sell a site, content and ease of use does. Give them what they want in a manner that a drunk retarded German with bad eyes can figure it out with ease, and you'll do OK.
