When new webmasters, gay or straight, ask about building sites I always advise them to look at what they like. Work a niche or idea that turns them on while they learn the business.

As we all know the learning curve in online adult can be tricky to manuever at time... Enjoying what you're doing while you're working the curve is only going to make life easier and more BEARable!

But I always add that once you know the business... take a look at what else is out there. If money and time are available begin to explore outside of your orignal area. There may be opportunities that you would like to venture into like videos, content, sex toys, etc. Or you may see something that you didn't even know you liked LOL

When I first started I opened gay sites filled with hunks and men over 25... worked them from day one. But one of my first paying jobs was marketing straight and mature women. If that was my entry to online adult I don't think I would have been working on the net for long LOL

Going forward I honestly do not think you HAVE to like what you're looking at, but it's a good thing to begin with.

Here an article I wrote a while ago on the basic idea
