Here's what they had to say:
In 2009 the most important thing for us, a company with multiple products (TopBucks.com, PlugInFeeds.com, Pink Visual, and others) is to be effective with our efforts and try to get into a comfortable position with the emerging market opportunities we see, even if that does not generate the immediate revenue the adult markets presented years ago. We also have always seen ourselves as an Internet commerce business and not tied ourselves down with being strictly adult. In 2009, we plan to further our mainstream presence with our adult products and continue development and growth of our mainstream products.
— Allison Vivas, president, Pink Visual
Smashbucks has always subscribed to the theory of life, which is changing and adapting in life or business, if not you are lost or done. This year has been the most interesting for change and watching major companies going down in flames. We see "change" in the same way as the word "challenge." We see offering the user a much simpler way to spend money. In a free world, we feel the user would be much happier just being able to buy on the fly.
— Mike Hawk, co-owner Smashbucks

I plan on hopefully to soon shoot exclusively my own content for my own site instead of shooting for other programs. My goal is to eventually not have to hustle to shoot people that aren't ordering a lot of content. It is key to eventually work for myself. I can't depend on other businesses not to fail I would rather be self-sufficient. JayRockCash.com is my first step for achieving this goal and I'm not finished yet but also launching a new hardcore solo girl JessieCoxxx.com.
— JayRock, owner JayRockCash.com
To evolve, I plan to increase affiliates, listen to them more, make work fun, clean out my e-mail inbox and set realistic goals for the future.
— Rob Hoover, affiliate manager, XonDemand.com
Very simple, we watch trends and listen to what our buyers want and need. Then we seek out those new opportunities and present them to our clients.
