The adult industry is not an easy one, and I know, I have said it a thousand times before, but it happens to be true. One way to try and keep informed of changes, is to find yourself a real forum, where the people aren't out to screw you over, or make you the joke of the day. And there really aren't that many places arounds.
However, I have found two, that I think fit the bill. They offer friendly members, with honest advice, that isn't sugar coated, nor is it mean spirited. They practise what they preach, plus they know their stuff. They make real money, not nickles and dime stuff. And no, you don't have to be an old veteran to become a member, you just need to leave any attitude behind, and be willing to listen and conribute what you can. After all, they don't charge for anyone to sign up. Continue reading

People need a release in their life, and porn offers such a release. However, it can be pricey and with limited funds, some people are going to look for free porn, rather than sign up. However it doesn't have to be that way, if you do your marketing right, if you adjust your promotions, to today's economic realities. Pay per sign up or PPS is one way to keep the revenue coming in, as people's credit cards max out, and so they don't recur. Other things can be done, to help push the customer towards the join page, but it takes time, effort, research, and patience too. Continue reading

Keeping track of some details is important, to determine what you are really doing, versus what you think you are doing. It helps guide your focus, so you can concentrate on what matters, not what you think is happening. Like simple tracking of your actual time spent on a project, will help show, that all those hours may not be actually spent working, that in fact, you are doing more playing, than selling. Food for thought, but knowing the amount of time you spend, is one way to stay on target. Continue reading

Sponsors need affiliates, to help push their sales, to make them a viable business, yet they fail to provide the necessary tools, in an easy manner, so that affiliates can do the job. It is like hiring a carpenter to build you a house, but instead of telling him the address you send him on a treasure hunt for clues, until eventually he winds up at the empty lot. Affiliate marketing is hard, with millions of people doing it, and yes, producing content isn't easy either, but if you want to make sales, time that sponsors woke up, and delivered the right tools to their affiliates. Continue reading

Life teaches some hard lessons. Many never seem to learn from them, or if they do, it is often too late. Others simply ignore them, and move on, which doesn't have to be a bad thing. Fact is, being an adult webmaster, is not quick, not easy, but then, being any kind of webmaster, isn't easy. It always will take time, energy, and effort, in order to succeed, something the snake oil salesmen don't tell you. There is no get rich quick scheme out there, that actually works. Oh they may just be legal, but bottom line is that you get hosed. Continue reading

It always amazes me how some people, who do a great deal of pontificating, about what is and what isn't acceptable. They question the ethics, the morals, of those who even think of using objectionable images, and yet when they post such an image, it is somehow okay. I really don't get the double standard they have. Continue reading

There is so many different terms, that a guy can become paranoid, or worse, running for cover. Still, there are things that sound complicated, are to a degree, but are essential in maintaining a lucrative online business. Validating pages is one of those, that just scare the crap out of me, because it deals with code & rules. I am not good at rules, but putting the fear aside, it makes sense to follow the proper rules for what code, goes where. Continue reading

Why do many programs suggest that you log out, when finished. Many affiliate sites, have that, but wordpress suggests you always exit your admin section, by signing out. Gmail even recommends you log out, when finished checking your email, so is there some exploit we are missing? Some security hole we aren't aware of? Continue reading

Making wholesale changes or even just one change, for the entire site can be tedious, if not down right time consuming. Site Wide changes are mainly the adding of some design element, that impact your entire site, but if you plan ahead, by using CSS and SSI, in the beginning, those complete changes, can be done in a matter of minutes.
