I dont have to tell anyone how different it is doing business within the adult industry vs. mainstream. Where else can you ask a competitor for advice on your own product or sales??

For the most part we do work together but in small niches like a hierarchy - its when you get to gay / straight or content / webmaster that things can go a bit nuts.

It is a very incestuous market where staff / sales people are swapped more than a swingers friday night hoedown. I think that it is the deep Secrets that is being held close to the breast pocket. We can all write articles and speak of common knowledge ideas, its when you get into specific numbers and guaranteed success strategies / scripts / programs that we lock up...

I have seen families broken up over the owing of a dollar - it is even less in the adult market. Money may not buy happiness, but definitely alliances and new friends. Find someone who is hated - given them either $$$ or traffic and suddenly they are worshipped. My point being that friendships can be made - but enemies will last longer
