I haven’t written about the economy, because I like keeping this blog more of an upbeat blog with juicy pics for women. But I have to admit, it has been a roller coaster ride for this pornographer the last few weeks just like everyone else in America.
The day after the Dow Jones fell over 700 points the first time, my sales were about $5.00 for the day. Now given I am 100% self employed, I panicked. Unlike some in this industry, who have spouses who might have a job offline, I don’t. My husband and I spread our time between our adult sites, and some craft things we do at local craft fairs. $5.00 a day will not pay the mortgage, so I doubled up on the time spent on promoting my porn.
It has paid off. My sales ended up in September being just slightly down from August despite about a week of very slow sales. And so far this month, they are looking like they will be back on track to improve slightly over last month.
Porn, thankfully, is one industry that tends to be recession resistant. When people can’t spend money on gas to take trips, and costs of everything is rising higher and higher because of transportation costs of getting your physical goods to you, porn prices have stayed stable, or gone down slightly. So you are getting more bang for your buck in porn as an entertainment source, then almost anything else. That is good news to those of us who make a living at this.
I’m not getting rich in porn, in fact I barely cover my bills with a little extra for food and necessary expenses. I don’t live in a lavish home, or travel around the world. I grow organic veggies in a backyard garden to save money, and ride a little 49cc scooter whenever possible to save on gas prices. Splurging to me is being able to buy a DVD to watch with my hubby. :) In other words, I’m like a lot of Americans in the lower middle class bracket who hope the next president helps us with health care costs, and reduced taxes.
So I wish to say for all the surfers who have signed up for adult sites I promote on my blog. Thanks. I really appreciate it. Your support keeps me going, keeps food on my table, and gas in my scooter tank. Support the economy, buy porn!
