“Do it, do it, do it!”

Do it! Make the mistakes to learn the lessons!
Starting out in adult can be a daunting affair, as
much for the mainstream professional seeking to
branch out as for the complete novice.

and porn, as it is also sometimes called, is a very
unique industry where nothing should be taken for
granted, and everything is done differently than in
“normal” business.

So when you’re out there, reading, meeting adult-
industry people at get-togethers or actual conventions,
register everything you hear; every rumor, factoid, jot
of advice, and try it yourself!

You can’t hesitate, so try to honor every wise-
seeming thing that is provided and made available for
that new project of yours...

and don’t forget to start planning for success
NOW; in fact, get very anal about each and every
step you are going to take to get there, from choosing
your webhost to the name of your affiliate program. If
something fails or doesn’t work, try it again and again
until it does!

For example, webhosting: the cheapest is the
bestest; don’t bother checking if the support number
or email works, none of them do anyway. Just do a
ten things search and click on the first result that comes up. Don’t
even bother with their “Sales” contact or department,
they all have them and all they want to do is get you to
new buy anyway. Fill out the first automated form you find
and hit “Send”!

Don’t waste the resources available to you.

questions, you might slant or prejudice your point
of view. Try to be a blank slate they can write their
answers on, and keep at it: Facebook, Twitter, XBiz

as Forums such as gFY.com, allow you to find these
people wherever they hang and get them to specify

after all, they’ve been in the business a lot longer
than you, so, between them, if you pick say four or five
people, they will have all the answers you need!
