Comment I switched to porn! (Score 1) 902
I've spent just a little bit less than the poster in IT and really wanted a change. I'd spent the last decade building the technical side of websites for people that really had no idea what they were doing but I'd never actually built my own site.
My site isn't really a porn site at all, it's adult social networking which means that I don't need to bother creating any content, it's been created for my by the users. All you really need to do is put together a structure that doesn't stink too much and let the users get on with it. Of course there are thousands of adult/couples sites but virtually all of them charge subscriptions but I've had experience in an open source company so I used some of the same ideas (building a community, not charging fees but making money from advertising, etc).
Answering the question directly I think there's a lot of other websites that you could build and you could probably just do it in your spare time until it starts earning for you. I've probably got about another 6 months to go before I'll be able to quit my day job, currently my website income is about half my salary. But qute apart from the money it's just been really satisfying to do.
