It's time for a change .. I need your input
 
It's no secret that times are tough in the Adult content Production world .. as most of you know I'm an exclusive Content producer/director. I ve been involved in production (mainstream) for over 18 years and have been producing adult content for the last 6, for websites and studios alike .. times are tough and the jobs seem to be getting more wide spread. My background has allowed me to learn alot about the adult industry, DVD and web ... Technically I'm quite advance, always on top of the newest technology. I've dabble in Web Design and graphics. I edit on a multipule platforms (pc and mac)... Organisation skills are pretty good, I can put together some pretty crazy ass productions of just about any size. I was a director in news, and commercials .. I've shot documentaries all over the world .. now I'd like a change .. I've already stared with myself .. I've been following a killer high protien diet along with regular work outs with a trainer. Everyone that has seen me has been pretty much blown away at the changes I'm making .. However it's getting hard and hard to make a cent in the content creation .. not to mention all the low lifes I have to deal with on a daily basis .. I'm starting to get a little sick of it .. So what are my choices ?

Well I'm working on several bussiness plans ... But find that I've missed the Online boat. After a long chat with one of my very good friend, She mentioned to me that maybe I should find work Online. iether affiliate sales or Production manager ..etc .. I know I've got the skill set to do this . but how would I go about it ...

any ideas .. ???

It seem with affiliate rep jobs it's not so much what you know but who you know, Given that most are low salary commission based jobs. If you have video and content editing under your skill set you could try to work with a large program in a remote position, even as a content manager (buying, 2257, etc) given your level of experience.

Personally you may want to get involved with editing and encoding videos for web, including flash. It may be higher paying and is not a common skill set.

If I had your skills, I would be shooting for TSN or the CBC.
Have you considered returning to that type of work?

I have to say Vid, you are in the prime of skill set for the Web right now and extremely in demand. Mainstream and video is still a monster growing trend with no end in site as the advertising dollar shifts from TV to Web for rich media content. Not to mention the mobile video market which is growing as well.
I'de almost start a mainstream version of your content business.. and try and land some big contracts with some ad agencies in Mtl, Toronto and NYC. Every mainstream company wants video ads for Viral purposes and for flash ads etc.

I like the way you think . this sounds super interesting to me .. a few months back I actually did shoot some promotional and commercial stuff for an Adult Toy comapany, to help them introduce they're new products online.


Don't dispair. I ve got several projects on the go and am in Development for some very exciting projects .. it's just been super slow these days and I'm looking for some extra income inorder to finance my other development projects.
