Hello owners, CEOs, COOs, and Directors,

Bruce back with the fifth edition of For Owners Only.

We just got back from a 7 week trip which included the TES show in Cascais, Portugal and watching my beloved San Francisco Giants get ready for the season in Arizona for Spring Training.

Business is brisk, so despite the issues with the economy, people are still buying and selling adult sites at a good pace.

Our biggest issue now to be honest is that we’re selling everything we list, so if you’re even thinking about selling your site or company, please reach out to me by replying to this email. Also, if you know anyone who is selling their site, please reach out to us and you’ll receive 20% of our broker commission on a completed sale through our affiliate program ASB Cash. Also, I know many of you get approached with properties for sale. If someone offers you a site that you decide not to pursue, please refer them to us and make money. If it becomes a successful sale you cash in.

So my feelings about how 2023 would be that I expressed last month are coming to fruition. I have no doubt that 2023 will be our biggest year ever (again).

And despite all the doom and gloom stories about the economy on the boards, many companies I’m talking to are having record months.

The attacks on our industry continue from all sides, with age verification laws and other legal challenges cropping up almost daily. Frankly, I’ve never seen a time like this in all my years in the industry. But if we’re anything we’re resilient and we’ll overcome all the noise, just as we always have.

Of course I’m sure you heard that the largest company in our industry, Mindgeek sold to a mainstream group recently. That just shows the strength of our industry, that mainstream companies are willing to invest in adult properties.

It’s that kind of deal that will show the religious right and the right wing politicians that were stronger than ever and can’t be messed with.

Sadly I have to report that I didn’t broker that deal.

We continue to have outstanding guests on our podcast, Adult Site Broker Talk. In recent weeks we’ve featured Alison Boden from the Free Speech Coalition, Ashton Egner from the teledildonics pioneer Kiiroo and Rosso from Gaming Adult. Currently adult industry icon Yanks Todd is our guest and we will soon have an interview with Lianne Young, one of Ron Jeremy’s alleged victims and many other amazing guests.

As always, if you’re even thinking about an exit, feel free to reach out to us by replying to this email or contacting us HERE and we’ll give you a free, no-obligation broker assessment.

Plus, we can act as a buyer’s broker and find you just what you’re looking for.

Finally we’re always looking for top guests for Adult Site Broker Talk. You can apply to be a guest here or you can reply to this email.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Bruce (the adult site broker)
