I really can’t complain about the adult business, it’s been very good to me over the years. I am soon coming up on my 10th year of slinging porn. Not sure if that’s something to really celebrate. It is as far as being around that long, I’ve seen many, many people come and go over the years. Then again, is 10 year of pushing “porn” something to be proud of, but that another post, maybe.

So why do I seem to bitch all the time lately? It’s because the online porn business has gone downhill to much over the years. Sure things and times change, but much of what has changed shouldn’t have and it seems more evil.

Maybe Evil is not the right word. Maybe.. More Greedy.

When I started I was getting ratio’s of 1:100 and under all day long. Yes, that is 1:100, no missing zero on the end. Sure it’s still possible to get that kind of ratio, but it’s quite rare and pretty uncommon. For average Joe webmaster these days it’s more like 1:500 or more at times.

It seems every day I read or hear of another sponsor ripping some one off. Just yesterday I read about a guy who built up a very nice recurring lifetime income a few years back. As long as his members stayed on (lifetime) he’d get a cut. Low and behold, the program decides to cancel his account and cut off his money. They gave some bullshit excuse that they couldn’t get a hold of him and that he wasn’t sending traffic. Gee, his checks made it to him every month, that is until they stopped it. As for sending traffic, it was lifetime commissions, he shouldn’t have to be active to get paid. After all they were paying on active members he sent! From what I see, they are going to get away with it and some people even still praising the program, after all that. Un-fucking-believable.

It’s hard not to get pissed off and tired of the crap, when you know what it use to be like. It never was perfect, but it was a hell of a lot better than it was.

There wasn’t so much greed, not like there is today.

What would I have to say to those just entering the business? “Go do something else online. There are plenty of better ways to make money on the net.”

Sure it’s a huge market and there is a ton of money on the table. Problem is Average Joe will have to work his ass off for a for a wage a little better than a real job. Not that it can’t be done, it’s just so much more tougher.

Am I the only one that sees this business eroding away?

I really hate being negative, but it’s hard not to be when so much has turned to crap. Believe it or not, I am actually a very positive person.

Moral of the story? Keep a close eye on your shit. Track your sales and hits and dump those that scam or shave you. There are still some decent programs out there, just getting harder to find..
Okay, get back to work!
