His so called network of sites would've needed maintenance, etc... they don't just make money on their own. He's full of it.

And if he was making that money, and intending to make more, why advertise that info to a bunch of strangers online for a reaction?

He's just an attention starved loser. Same as those guys that post shit like "Sales are up this month" and "I'm making so much money in my affiliate program, check my stats" (and they post fake stats)

Dude, get a life. There's no network, no sales, no shit. You know it and we all know it. You just love blowing digital smoke up people's asses.

Some guys are naturally attractive to pretty women, know how to hold a conversation, and can lead a woman to want to spend more time with them.

These successful men who can interact with the opposite sex usually have a certain confidence and aura about them that is earned. They know that being thoughtful, civil and humble with a woman is usually the way to win her over. These men are rewarded with the ultimate prize -- some sweet pussy and sexual experiences -- that some ugly fucks will never experience in person.

These successful men use the same skills and personality traits that attract the beautiful women to allow them to speak and interact with some intellect and a level of maturity and diplomacy no matter what they are doing.

Enter internet porn...

Now every ugly fuck (physically and personality) with an internet connection who can't hold a conversation with a woman, wouldnt be able to pick up a chick to save his life much less get a second look from a gorgeous girl now is privy to know what it's like to fuck a beautiful girl.

Anytime he wants he gets to jerk off to beautiful women doing xxx things that he didn't even imagine before and they would never do with him.

Because of internet porn these guys get a sense of enjoying the prize (having sex with a pretty girl) without earning it (being civil, diplomatic and humble).


So this sense of enjoying the prize produces a level of confidence in the ugly fuck that he would otherwise not have, but because the prize isn't earned, that confidence deforms into a cockiness know-it-all attitude that revolts rather than attracts others.

It's been a wild ride the past 10 years... from swinging bachelor making good $$$ as an affiliate -- to married daddy daycare -- to single divorced dad.

The one thing that has remained consist the past decade is my love for the porn business.

And my lurking on GFY.

To be frank, I have barely worked on my sites / assets in the last 3 years. Too busy being a dad, distracted by drama with multiple women, an addiction to mindblowing sex with a woman who was bad news, 2 criminal arrests (I was innocent I swear!), going back to a fulltime job at an internet company (I forgot how much 9 to 5 sucks!), etc etc.

Coincidentally, when I stopped working on my sites in 2013 was when my monthly porn income started to drop... .that got me thinking...

This month I am on track to generate $2500 in affiliate paysite commissions without doing much more than making sure the domains renew and my scripts keep running. My monthly expenses (hosting/domains etc) have been around $900 for years.

Last night, I did an inventory on the state of my sites - there are obvious areas for improvement, sites that need some housecleaning, and many niches/paysites/programs that I'm not even promoting - not to mention I don't even promote dating or cams --- yet.

I see opportunity.

So starting today, I will turn that $2500 into $10,000/month asap.

I have no choice but to make that happen.


History is repeating itself. Now that the divorce is under way I have many nights free without my 2 kids. Free time just like I had in 1996.

I will invest those evenings to increase my XXX income. Just like I did in 1997.

My first big goal is to get to the point where I can quit that f'ing fulltime job at the internet company! Just like I did in 2002.

So regardless how many people say porn is dead, I'm still making sales in 2016.

By putting my head down and going back to work I aim to quadruple what I'm presently earning running on autopilot.

$2500 to $10,000/month.

What do you think my chances are of getting to $10,000/month?

Wish me luck!

TL;DR - I am going from $2500 to $10,000/month by actually working.

Look at this picture - it mesmerizes me - this is art, I don't care what anyone says!:

I think the secret that made me successful overall was to avoid doing things manually. I use databases, cronjobs and custom scripts to update my sites. The network of pages I have control over grows even when I am not at my computer.

When I build something new just by adding the new site to a few databases it gets cross-linked to all my shite & gets instant traffic.

All in order to keep a surfer on my network as long as possible. Automate, automate, automate. Also another biggie I think is I only send people to join pages, never the full tour.

So consider trying sending hits to the full Tours for a month and judge conversions.

Plus, people tend to bookmark full Tours not just Join pages. Have luck!

I certainly agree that preselling is important when sending to join pages. I like the fact that pre-selling also creates more text on my pages for the search engines.

I prefer to get 5 more pageviews on my sites with possible bookmarks & clicks to join pages rather than 5 pageviews to one sponsor tour. This helps to keep the control of the traffic in my hands instead of a sponsor's hands. Over time I think that helps me end up with more traffic/pageviews which results in higher revenue overall.

Here is a thread I made about pre-selling in 2005: https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-pr...-pre-sell.html

But the difference is what do I do with that post once I create it?

I add the post url & title into a database and it gets circulated around my network. I show related category links from another database to everyone that reads the post. I add it to a database to be tweeted out with the associated picture using a script that runs once a day.

Making a post on one of my blogs is just the beginning. Everything that is done with the post after it is created is where you unlock the real value of the post.

The question is how do you keep motivated on projects that don't produce returns? Work 80/20? 80 on the one that does, 20 on the one that doesn't?

But if you don't build it, you'll never know what it could have been. But I suppose you have to have a line where you cut off projects that don't work.

I guess the MVP approach is best, throw something out and if it works, invest more into it.

Let's take cams for example. I can get free signups easily, but they generally don't buy tokens. That's not motivating. Do I keep building sites around cams if I can't convert? Maybe it's the sponsor, maybe it's the traffic. Maybe it's not enough traffic?

Anyways, this post wasn't very organized in thought, just rambling, confirming my own thoughts lol.

If it's doing good but not great I scale back a bit but still promote it steady. If a site is doing jack squat I don't waste my time with it.

You didn't get the memo? PORN=FREE.

10 years ago, you might be able to make a living at online porn, but back then, you could get real traffic from a broker, today, it's ALL BOTS.

Even the highest quality porn can be seen for free, so what are you going to offer?

Don't be a fool. Take your $ 2500 and enroll in a trade school and learn how to do something.

If you don't, you will burn thru that money in no time from traffic brokers that sell fake bot traffic, trying to sell a product that is free to the public.

Wake the fuck up. Remember what you read here OR come back in a month when you are broke and let me know how it went.

BTW, everybody here egging you on either has a failed business or isn't making much at all online and want to see you fail as well. Misery loves company.

I've been fixing broken links, updating neglected databases, doing a full inventory of the state of things. Its going to take another couple weeks to get all domains/sites back working at full efficiency.

One thing that hit me this weekend:

In order to hit my $10k/month goal in the shortest time possible:

1. I need to spend time on projects with high value / high return potential

2. Highest value/return potential for time spent = cams

3. best cams to start promoting = chaturbate

So yesterday I started adding chaturbate links to my network and woke this morning to my first member registration.

I will create a separate chaturbate thread soon when I'm ready to take a deep dive...

... and that's the state of things

I hope everyone has a good week!
