    For one thing, I think you should wait till you're at least 18 years of age. :p

    Seriously, it's a grubby world, full of sharks and predators just ready and waiting to part you and the shirt from your back, not to mention all of the legal minefields you would have to traverse.

    I must counsel you against it. It will give you too much trouble; the competition is fierce and not always honest.

    Find something you are really passionate about and have fun. Adult web sites are really difficult to manage, with all its legal and ethical issues. Unless you are really passionate about this, I would advise against…

    Ok thanks for the heads up, i was more looking into affiliates, looks like quite high payouts and some of the niches aren't saturated atall!

    We're you interested in adult websites? Or Adult hosting?

    I've been tinkering with the idea of doing adult hosting - high profit margins - and less sticky legal things to worry about. ie its more black and white - its either legal adult content or its not - it either gets terminated or it gets to continue. Easy peasy ^_^

    More adult type websites along with affiliates, but with adult webhosting i'd think there was laws you'd have to run by, and contiunously check your server for non suitabel content

    Find a hobby instead. They take to much time and are addicting.

    I offer adult hosting and it is a higher profit margin business than regular hosting.
    Since it is all taken care of by my host company, no problems with the law.

    Also working now on an adult directory....taking me a long time as I have no clue as to the adult industry!
