Status of Adult today

Hi I have been out of adult a good few years. But started way back when making money was easy. I have kept loose tags on the industry over the last few years but not much due to other commitments. But wondering what is the status of the adult industry today with the amount of free content / tube sites / file locker forums and so on ?

Sure many will still make good money but what about the single site start ups ? and in general how do others see Adult today ?

Any kind of input welcome thanks Deeplayer

Depends who you ask.

I know one man operations clearing $100k monthly. I know offices with 10 people that can't break even.

If you are not prepared to work, I suggest you move on. If you are ready to get your hands dirty, jump in. Ignore the naysayers.

Agreed! And there does seem to be lots of negativity when I have been reading up on the state of the adult business in general.

RSS feed blogs are done. If you can write and know your niche and provide decent pic or video links they do well. As do tgp/tube/mgp sites with unique non-scraped content.

I am also told media buyers are the new kings and queens.

Is not easy like years ago, but but day to day we see less people here, so, less competitors

The same applies to any business....

Have a good product and it will sell. Try to dress up some bullshit with smoke and mirrors and you won't succeed.

No accully I never come across them, if it looks like word press it's generally a site full of useless text and not enough content to sufice

The state of the industry is that you can't sell 1 product sites anymore
