    Have any of you ever brought family into the biz?

    I'm talking brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers.... not wifes and the such.

    I think I may have made an error.
    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                Awesome. Your mom rocks and I cant wait to see that little guy of yours taking the helm. His 18th birthday is going to be one hell of an eye opener for sure. If not sooner, by default.

                    I hate it but family and biz don't mix well IMO.

                        Funny how that works. Mine would have worked out also, but instead of the 100.00 an hour I offered, he wanted 200.00, with no experience and me doing all the work. Everyones an expert these days... shit, what do I know?

                              i did a mainstream site with my sister. i did the web building/maintance, she gave me info for each page to put up, and we're 50/50. i actually regret it to be honest. i could have done it by myself & got 100% of the income from it.

                              i'll never make that mistake again.

                                  Yes...................my oldest son brought me into the biz. When we were out together on errands, he was giving me directions on which route to drive. He kept pointing out all the porn joints here in Porn Valley......Red Light District, Juicy, Exquisite, VCA, the sex toy manufacturer and warehouse on De Soto Ave, etc. He's a heck of a PR man and salesman as well. I do a lot of the running around, picking items up, going to the P.O., posting new releases, etc. Companies still growing and making headway, (no pun intended). It's a heck of a lot better than getting shot at as a....................well, anyway, yeah Family business.

                                      Pete-KT and his father is the only one I know of for immediate family. I think anyway. I see them talking about Pete's dad over at Web Overdrive...

                                        Dont do it.. bound for trouble. The fact you have to 'bring' someone in means it will blow up.

                                        Relatives always want your lifestyle. and during parties or birthdays im sure they will
                                        ask you "hey man. teach me that.. i want to work like that too".. well.. the fact they are ASKING you just means it wasnt meant for them. Tell them that.

                                                My sister in law wants in. So far, I've resisted. I brought my husband into this industry and my mother in law used to do some minor stuff for us; but, that's only because she lives with us...and the extent to which she did things was limited.

                                                Not sure it's a good idea to mix family, friendship and business; although, it depends on the role they play, I think.

                                                  when issues come up, it is hard to separate business from personal feelings especially when it's your family that is concerned.. so it is better to keep them apart to stay away from having such troubles.
