I replied to a post on a board a couple days ago and it got me to wondering about something I see over and over again, and that's newbies posting that they've had their website up for 3 weeks and still haven't made any money yet. For some reason people think that running an adult business is going to be easy. Why is that? This is a business just like any other other business and in some ways is harder, in my opinion.

If you wanted to be a doctor, you'd go to college for about 8 years and then you'd intern at a hospital for a couple more before you started making any real money and you'd have spent a least $100k during that 8 years to learn how to make money which you'd probably get in the form of loans that you'd have to spend several years paying back.

If you wanted to become a graphic designer, you'd go to college for 4 years and then you'd get a shitty job at a design agency somewhere making about as much as the kid selling tennis shoes at the mall, and after a couple years of learning the ropes, and assuming you had some talent, you might eventually start making some decent money. So, why is it that after a few months of trying to start an adult website business, newbies start complaining that it's taking too long?

The only job you can get that is easy to learn how to do and will give you a steady paycheck right away is something simple like flipping burgers or taking tickets at the movie theater. If it's simple and any chimp can do it, you'll be paid accordingly.

Anything worthwhile takes time and a lot of effort. So you need to decide. Do you think it's worth spending a few years and some money learning this business and eventually having a chance to make a very comfortable living, or do you want something easy that pays for a tiny aparment and an old car that smokes and a bank account that never gets over $500 before you have to spend some of that money fixing the car that smokes?
