Summary: Major letdown, very dissappointing!
Review: Down and dirty? Birds eye view is more like it. It should have been called "30,000 Foot Overview of Making Adult Sites."When I saw this book for sale I immediately ordered it and had it shipped express...I couldn't wait to read it! I was so excited by what great examples and tutorials would be inside waiting for me to eat up! Now that I've read it I don't even remember 1 thing to walk away with. To be fair, this book offers some helpful tips for running a general business like budgeting, insurance, different types of corporations, getting an accountant and some very basic design suggestions, but that's about it. Theres nothing in this book to sink your teeth into and absolutely no secrets are given away, it's just very basic information: you should have atleast 32MB of ram in your computer, update your paysite often, say please and thank you when communicating with customers. I'm particularly bothered by the fact that the author(s) said they would present stories of people in the business, but there are only 2 short quick stories in the beginning that are barely a paragraph long about a soccer mom and a guy who worked as an adult movie assistant then started making his own and now he's successful. Whoo-PEE! How about some more stories of real people who made it? How about breaking down their stories and showing some samples that your readers could use? How about more on tgps. Should I start one? Would you suggest I use a traffic trading script and skim, or keep it clean and go for the bookmarkers? Should I go for niche or general theme on my tgp? What kinds of income do people generate with making galleries and running 1 or more tgps? How long can I expect it to take for my tgp to start generating income? How about some information to getting serious traffic to my site besides recip linking and putting meta tags on my pages? Chapter 14 was a joke. I can't believe it's so scarce on information. How did "Eric P" become so successful selling his movies?
How much did he have to start with? Where did he find models? How did he promote his site? How did he get that traffic to his site and sell 1000 copies a week? Through Meta tags (laff)? How about getting into the nitty gritty like your title suggests? Dont tell me that some people have become rich from thinking of ideas that are outside the box, show me some examples! So frustrating!!!! This book is all over the place and doesn't give any concrete examples of people who have done it and how they did it. Almost everything given in this can be found in tutorials all over the web. What a waste of time.

Summary: Good solid information
Review: I've been considering putting up an adult site for a while - out of work tech worker here! Actually making a site was not my problem. My problem was how to make it in the adult business. This book is the best place to start if you are even halfway considering an adult site. If you are starting out and you want a lot of solid information this is the book to get. Can't wait for a second edition!

Summary: Good Book For Newbies
Review: If you are a veteran adult webmaster, like me, you won't get much out of this book. If you are an adult webmaster wannabe with little or no experience with adult sites or business, this is a good book to get you started. This won't make you rich fast and it's not gonna give out precious hidden secrets! There's a lot of competition out there now and the adult webmaster business takes a lot of work and an investment of time and money like any other biz. Sex sells better than most products/services though, so it's easier to make money as an adult webmaster than it is to sell books or something. This book will get you started in the right direction, but that's it.
