    Some advice from duke :)

    The keys to success are right here.. Seriously..
    1. Never talk down to anyone.
    2. never brag about how much money/sales you make.
    3. always take the time to answer your affiliates questions no matter how stupid they are.
    4. no need to try to impress people.
    5. never cheat anyone out of what they deserve.
    6. never pre judge anyone.. that guy you see wearing regular clothes at the bar probally makes 100 times what I make.
    7. never talk business while wasted. you may not be able to live up to promisies you made at that moment.
    8. give honest advice to WHOMEVER may ask.
    9. ask advice from WHOMEVER will give it.
    10. shake hands, make friends, and treat them as such.
    11. try to help out newbs... They might be the next big thing and WILL help you out when they become big themselves.
    12 take care of your affiliates... always!
    13. always be yourself



    Thats all

                          Duke, without sounding like I am sucking up to you but this is all so true.

                          Most of us know that the most successful people are often the ones who you don`t even know about...they keep themselves hidden away and build empires.

                          This is true in many businesses (and not just the adult industry).

                                Well i might be one of the few lucky people in this biz....who has virtually seen Duke grow from being only a deluxepass affiliate to a top of the line paysite owner


                                I also worked for him.....and i can say the Duke i worked for and the Duke the owner of Dukedollars.com are completely different Duke as a person has grown to be an amazing human being and an intelligent businessman

                                I will always cherish and enjoy his friendship all my life I will also never forget the way he has changed my life by talking about the right things @ critical times in my career !

                                Its all a matter of learning from your mistakes and keep your effort going even when the chips are down

                                Also duke has a very good partner Big Red Machine....who is an amazing pornstar....those two as partners are running a tight ship @ dukedollars.com.
                                One of the very few programs which go out of their way to help out even the smallest of their affiliates . Speaks volumes about the program

                                If you want amazing sales....just take a look @ www.dukedollars.com

                                      Great advice Duke. Since the first time I met you, you have always been helpful with some great ideas for us, and were very generous with your insite into the business.

                                      You have a great program, and a great team.

                                      I enjoy talking to you and Big Red every chance I get! Thanks for the friendship and respect you have shown to us! It's nice to see someone put into action what they post on the boards!

                                                      I'd say those aren't the keys to success (I know of too many that don't follow those that are very successful), but you're indeed more likely become successful, well liked, and helped, if you follow those.

                                                            6. never pre judge anyone.. that guy you see wearing regular clothes at the bar probally makes 100 times what I make.
                                                            Best advice in the World. So many people who think they are the shit burn way too many bridges and do not even realize it because they were snide to someone else they looked down on. Then when their shit begins to fall apart they wonder why no one wants to help them. If you help people out they'll in turn want to help you out.

                                                            I also like this....

                                                            If you lend a friend a $100 and they never pay you back. It was money well spent to see who your true friends are and who are not.

                                                              1. Never talk down to anyone.
                                                              2. never brag about how much money/sales you make.
                                                              3. always take the time to answer your affiliates questions no matter how stupid they are.
                                                              4. no need to try to impress people.
                                                              5. never cheat anyone out of what they deserve.
                                                              6. never pre judge anyone.. that guy you see wearing regular clothes at the bar probally makes 100 times what I make.
                                                              7. never talk business while wasted. you may not be able to live up to promisies you made at that moment.
                                                              8. give honest advice to WHOMEVER may ask.
                                                              9. ask advice from WHOMEVER will give it.
                                                              10. shake hands, make friends, and treat them as such.
                                                              11. try to help out newbs... They might be the next big thing and WILL help you out when they become big themselves.
                                                              12 take care of your affiliates... always!
                                                              13. always be yourself



                                                              Thats all
