Is anyone making money?

[planeterotica]

Real Couples is one of OEJs sites and he is a multi millionare so does that answer your question !wink!

Ha ha ha...You'll get me in trouble Planet. I'm just scratching a living like everyone else.

But thanks for the praise though. LOL

Not many, not many at all. Most as Terry says are scratching around, trying to make a living. The lucky ones like John Graham (Double D) made their money and then got out and retired on it. Leaving the rest of us to wallow in it !

Personally I seem to love wallowing I think, coz fuck knows what else I could do ?

You'll find me most nights sorting through peoples rubbish bins looking for scraps. I found a lovely chicken carcass earlier tonight with a couple of still warm roast potatoes..........yum!

[Hardup]

I bet that chicken did not taste as nice as that Madison bird, even with warm roast tatties!

Some people are obviously doing well.

Here is a quote by hiwatt from bluebird:

"Yep. We're suffering terribly. Could only afford to buy 1 brand new US studio and web support team. Oh, and a bank."

Banks are dirt cheap at the moment. Ive got a whole portfolio of them. Shame they're not worth shit. Theyre all expecting handouts from the government.

There's no doubt that those who make the content are suffering.This is not restricted to UK.Currency movements do not always help.

I have always restricted myself to buying good content,from IP owners,or commissioning it.Having my own servers in my own facilities helps.Being on the internet backbone helps.This hardware is expensive,but an investment that has to be made for the long term.

The internet is still the place to be.Magazines and the paper based porn seems to be diminishing rapidly,with several publishers in trouble.

I wish I could say something more positive to the creatives in this business,but I cannot.

In any recession,cash is king.Those who have it do well-the others try to hang on.

its like what me and Terry discussed over at :

Things are still going on,people are still shooting stuff and the industry is still here. I dont think the industry has been hit as much as other industries?

Not the reason I left by the way either, but there's alot of put out in this game, all cost cost cost but then you make it back, just not right away. If you know what you doing you can make alot of money, but most just make enough to make profit, fund more shoots and go round again. If you have an ordinary job and are no worse off than anyone else, you might aswell be doing that in porn if you enjoy that sort of thing. There isnt an industry like it and trust me its very hard indeed adjusting back to what some people would call a normal life. So much so I'm even dreaming about coming back lol.
