I wouldn't consider porn to be lucrative, unless you create the content yourself.. It's one big saturated market, unless you find a micro niche that hasn't been tapped into that much, I wouldn't really bother.
- phreanix 15y agoSeconded. I was just asked to project manage a porn affiliate site revamp. They were making $50k+/mo last year, but the niche is so narrow and well, frankly disgusting, that I'm having trouble getting any designer to commit.
- elliottcarlson 15y agoAre you looking at designers on the GFY forums (certainly not safe for work for those who aren't familiar with it)? If not look there - they will be used to even the craziest of niches.
- phreanix 15y agoThanks I actually just shot off an email to someone I met there. Totally forgot I had an active username on GFY.
- rhizome 15y agoIn my, ahem, limited experience, it seems like a well-constructed site is very much needed. Most have only the most rudimentary, earlier-this-decade, styles of filtering.
- itmag 15y agoI wonder if YC would take a porn startup?
- kappaknight 15y agoReally? I thought porn led the way in many of internet's advances. (i.e. secure billing online, video streaming, security, etc.)
- rhizome 15y agoI'm certainly no expert, but the free *Tube sites I've seen are pretty ghetto. Maybe it's better once you start paying, but for instance I'm always seeing stuff I'd rather not in the listings for whatever category. It might be like dating sites, though, where the business model is to keep you on the site irrespective of why you're there, so there's no incentive to make things easy to find.
