Six months yesterday actually.

Anyway.

Working for a big company and seeing things from this perspective has taught me quite a few things. Imma take a minute or two and share.

#1: When told by someone how much traffic they can send you, take that number and cut it in half. Then divide it by 4. That will give you a pretty accurate figure.

#2: When told by someone how much money they make, see #1.

#3: If you post a business thread saying "sign up to X program" or such, don't get excited when it hits 2 pages. The ratio of guys saying "looks good, signing up right now" to the guys that actually sign up is like 50:1. The number of guys that sign up and actually remember to send is depressing and we won't talk about it today.

#4: EVERYONE loves drama, I don't care who they are. Wether they post on GFY about it or not, they ALL have people they hate and take immense amounts of vicarious pleasure in seeing them lambasted publicly. They will also PRIVATELY feed you VOLUMES of dirt on so and so who pissed them off at a show 3 years ago, and that is why having ICQ is so important.

#5: Mailers are your FRIEND. They make more money than any of us. If you ever get on a mailers good side, lick his nuts if he asks. It's worth it.

#6: Baddog smells funny.

#7: Linklists are the great lie of the adult industry. There are five or six worth your time, the rest are about as useful as Fris in a sack race. Put your shit on newsgroups or Guba. You're better off.

#8: Fuck the haters. I don't mean ignore them, I mean FUCK them. If you're doing good work and doing it HARD there is no reason at all to let the troll get away with his little hit and run snide comments. Stalk his ass. Get in his face and stay there. Be like the herpes you know his mom has. There are too many fucking worthless gnobs getting away with too much shit. So tell Troll #267 that you dont give a rats ass what his GFY join date is, tell him that you dont CARE who he tagged teamed a tranny hooker with in Vegas in 2004, tell him to fuck the hell off and just carry on.

#9: Patience is a virtue. It takes time to build a house.

#10: There is no money in porn. (If you're a lazy idiot)

Thank you for your time, and Epic Cash ROCKS.
