Maybe its also time for all the webmasters out there to rethink and make a proper company.
i dont know whats it like in the united states but most eu countries support new business founders very much. you get back the investmentcosts (100%)for hardware like computers, screens, printers.
If you still want to run your business from your home but you have a registered company with office in your home, you get back half of the monthly rent of your home (taxes are reduced).
making a company (like Limited, IBC. or INC which is anyway recommended for all ecommerce) takes very short time and does not cost a fortune. (around 1000 euros including atm and credit cards)
server cost nowadays dont cost a fortune. euro 200 a month and you get
unlimited bandwith.
as for employees do outsourcing whats possible, and the rest with affiliate marketing.
You dont have to say or state you work in porn, you simply live on comissions made by ecommerce.
I agree that the competition is fierce, however dont forget that 90% of all webmasters maybe make a 1000 bucks a month and dont even have a legitimate business or company.
If you start thinking that you run your websites as a business like every other business as well, you will see that cost are in fact very low in comparison with non adult or non online businesses, and the profits are still being made.
Try to specialize in a market, translate your website into one specific language, it is still very easy to get great google rankings at google.it, google.de or others.
example:
you shoot a sologirlsite (lets say the model costs you for 10days eur 3000,-- which is normal price in czech republic)
a camera for another 1000 euro
some lights for 800 euro
design of paysite 700 euro
affiliate programm 1000 euro
location 1000 euro
in sum thats 7500 euro
now calculate how many memberships a month you normally sell with your tgps or what so ever. lets say around 120 which is very realistic.
with a price of 25 us per membership you make revenue of 3000 us a month
lets say minus the clearing comissions and server cost you make 2000 profit.
that means your are break even in only 6 months !!!! (amortication of investment) and then you live from that.
and now think you had like 10 sologirlsites.
so now please tell me in which other business is that possible ?!

Hi
For the most , it's quite possible....
But look...the reality is quite different ...
Like Jscott said, with the bad economy time. it's more difficult to find recurring members for our websites ....even at 25 $, they want more than you would naturally offer in a classic adult website ....
I spend many times with my members on messenger, I saw some evolution...they join because they want to have a direct contact with the model....the forums are very important for them to keep the contact ...
If you run an " army" of sologirls ( excuse ne for the term
) it's very hard to do that...you pay the girl, but the contract stop here ...no direct contact....no attention ...etc.....
Many of my members joined to have some real contacts with us....to find a way to talk with us about their problems, their wishes....it's quite weird, but I have many couples on my websites, asking me some ideas for them ....
And like this, with recurrent members who have all my attention, I have a recurrent pay .....and that's the only way I have found to pass this bad economic times
Like Nyllover says....after make all those sales....you must pay some taxes
And in starting a website ...I doubt you have instantly 125 members ....but I don't doubt you spent much than 7000 $ ( per month to run it )
Oh Jscott ....to answer about your question, as you surely know, legmodels have always an extra "secure job" to have some " secure cash "
So....I have a real lingerie shop and a little association to help persons to create a website and learn them to run it ....
