The bad part is that I suspect it can get rather nasty when dealing with content providers unless I'm creating my own content, and the process for establishing good contact development must be difficult. In other words, it takes a lot of hard work and one must be ready for the crap that must go on behind the scenes, but once established, the notion of making a nice buck and having access to all manner of stuff is attractive.

When you think about all the sites out there and the shear amount of crap, there is no way I'd want to run a site and be chained to a computer pushing the etail and advertising trying to make ends meet. If I could own a top quality site that might interest me but it would still be a lot of work and then you run into problems with site hackers and having to pay more for quality stuff. I know some make a good living at it but I think takes a lot more work than most people assume it does.

If I had some free money then I might be tempted, but that doesn't mean that I'd actually do it. I also think that it's a lot more work then it's worth.

Those who do it, and do it well, work their asses off and deal with all kind of flaky situations - models not showing up, including to expensive site locations, legal hassles, rip-offs of your material, web designers that suck, etc.
Here's a situation that would just kill me. Early last year, ALS Scan rented a villa in the Caribbean, flew in all of their equipment, set up shop - and only one of their models made it. All of the rest had various crazy visa or other hassles that made it impossible for them to get there. They had to have spent 10's of thousands of dollars and all they could do was just have a vacation with the one model that showed.
I just don't have the constitution to accept that madness easily.
That's why I give credit to those who work hard and do it well. It's one of the best things about this forum is being able to point others in the direction of those that are doing so.

I'm lazy and wouldn't like all the work involved, but I sure would like to have input into producing scenes.
There are lots of things I really enjoy seeing that would be for a very niche market. I sure would like to be able to produce and direct scenes when I was in the mood.
The truth is, though, that doing it every day wouldn't work since I'm not always in the mood.

Absolutely. I would love to own/run an adult website. Even sitting there, it would generate lots of cash, plus I would become "part of the multi-bilion dollar adult industry." I might even have that printed on my business cards!

Yes if I had the money and right people around me to start, then for sure. I would make one of the best semi- amateur porn sites out there. Not only would I make money, I would be able to meet the hot ass models that are on my site. I would make it similar to FTV girls style, but hopefully with even newer faces.

REPLY TO #4 - PinkPanther :
Yeah, ALS is a good example. On one of their recent blogs they mentioned the rough cost of their latest Caribbean trip and I was shocked. It's usually a good thing when porn shocks me, but not this time -- the cost was around six figures for a weeklong trip! I admit I like those shoots –some of my favorite material so far – but I am not sure I would like paying for it.
I think if I had a lot of money, actually knew how business worked, and could easily afford to lose all of my investment in a new porn site, I would do it, but I am not sure about starting from scratch. I think just the fact that the bad sites far outnumber the good sites is a sign it probably would not be worth the effort.
It would probably be like owning a super expensive sports car: looks cool, lots of people like seeing it, I just wouldn't want to work on it or pay for it.
