Everybody who thinks making $100-$300 a day
or Anything around $3,000 -> $5,000 a month
thinks they are successful
Are
COMPLETE RETARDS
What they do not know is, adult business is finicky, you think you are living well just because you are living well now with your 2 cars and 1 house and 2 dogs?
Adult business is NOT STABLE, You may be out of a job next year
Your sponsor may stop paying you next month
You may have the worst conversions you have ever seen 3 months in a row
You still got bills to pay.
You can't make money out of thin air.
You = Bankrupt in 5 months.
This is not a steady job, You do not base your idea of success upon how many hits you got this month from
GOOGLE.
Just because you got lots of hits THIS MONTH
does not mean you will get lots of hits 4 MONTHS LATER.
You will not be doing online porn in the year 2015 , YOU STILL HAVE TO LIVE THEN DON'T YOU?
You think you will still be building freesites 10 years from now?

Success is in the eye of the beholder. I thought it was cool when I was hitting $100 a day. Now I'm way above that, but I'm still pushing for higher. I want to be making $1K a day. After a few years of that, I probably won't have to worry about an financial situations anymore.
Success to me is living happily. I live happily now so I feel that I am successful.
Either way, this business is not a stable income source for a lot of people. Things can go to shit tomorrow.
You big money maker probablyw ont be your big money maker 5 years from now.
I say get as much as you can because it probably wont last forever.Last edited by wedouglas; 01-08-2006, 09:10 AM.Comment

GatorB,
You are correct, The real world is not stable at all
That is why corporate slaves even though they are pulling in $100k a year easy with benefits,
Do not feel successful and want to get out because they are MISERABLE.
Only when you have so much money in the bank that you do not have to work anymore. (MININUm $1M++ $50k INTEREST)
Is the only time you can label yourself
"SUCCESSFUL"
All this
"eye of the beholder",
"Make more money then my day job" ,
"I have 3 beautiful kids I feel very successful"
kinds of bullshit thoughts
will only limit you to being a working slave.
Its all about if you can never work again in your life = YOU SUCCESSFUL.
Anything else = YOU ARE STILL NOT SUCCESSFUL PERIOD.millionare by 18 , beat that hOESComment

Also you are confusing financial wealth with success. 2 completely different things. Is a bench warming player who rarely plays in a game on a perennial losing baseball team making $300K a year a success? Financially he makes more than 99% of Americans. I wouldn't call him a success though.Comment

i guarentee the money you claim to have made did not come from adult, and if it did it came from spamming adult sites. making that kind of money (unless you run a sponsor program) just isn't possible without years and years of constant hard work when promoting via websites. maybe if you're an SEO version of stephan hawking or something but i just don't buy it.Originally posted by mrbling
i felt successful when i was making around 10k a month. but i feel good just not having to work a day job. i've never earned more than $9/hour with any 'real' job i've had so making 3-4k a month isn't bad. success is all relative.you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..Comment

This is the thought process of
LOSERS
You do not compare apples with oranges.
When you come to do business with someone, lets say Donald trump, and he asks you how many buildings do you own, you do not defer the question and tell him how many kids you have and how beautiful they are.
You stick with the point in question , HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE MADE/SAVED IN BUSINESS.
You are short changing yourself by telling yourself
"I am already successful with my kids"
You are NOT, in fact, this is the reason why you will NEVER
become successful.
Its because you give yourself a step back, you give yourself a life saver, In fact this is what MOST people do, they give themselves some backup.
The truely successful people dive head straight in.
They burn the go back home ships, because there is no place to go but FRONT, FRONT, ADVAnce, FRONT
There is NO BACKUP
There is no LIFESAVER.
There is NO WHERE TO GO BUT UP.
There is NO FAMILY to make you feel better.
Make it or die.
Your mentaility is off, sorry but you will never become a millionaire in your lifetime.
Anybody can have a family, Lots of families in africa!
Few can have a family + millions.

First off, what the fuck gave you the idea that I dont want more $$ and to improve my financial standing ?Originally posted by mrbling
I do of course want to make enough $$ to do what I want when I want. I do NOT want assholes like you telling me what is success and what isnt, I suppose it's what you define as success. Money isnt everything. I am sure you make more than I, but because you have $$ doesnt make you a success.
I strive daily to make more than yesterday, but I also take time away from biz to have a life. It's all about perspective. You keep your narrow minded approach and I will be outside skiing with my kids and taking what life offers me, Not stuck in a hubble fucking my hand reaching for the next million.

It is very unlikely I would be sitting in a hubble fucking my hand.
I just have priorities.
The fact is,
I can do anything you can do, by choice.
You can not do everything I do, by force.
That is what success means.
Choice or force.millionare by 18 , beat that hOESComment

To elaborate.
Example #1:
If you were an employee @ Microsoft.
Bill gates Can park in your parking space by choice.
You can not park in his parking space by force.
You may love your parking space because its right next to the window, but it makes no difference.
Example #2:
If I wanted a family, I can have a family by choice.
If you wanted to fly to switzerland for 3 weeks vacation tomorrow, you can not fly there by force.
Example #3:
The CEO gets first dibs on vacation dates near christmas by choice.
You get last dibs on vacation dates (around february - march) by force.

BlackCrayon,
I am not an affiliate program runner,
I'm just like you an affiliate.
But an affiliate who always scales up.
I use to be the top monopilizer of altavista in 99 where they indexed sites from the submit url within 24 hours and all you had to do was submit all your URLS
Where we created hundreds of thousands of URLS with subdomains keyword-key.domain.com , submitted them at night
indexed 2-3 days later.
100k uniques a day every 2-3 boxes.
Thats where I made my first M.
Then I went into domain investing where I owned over 10,000 domains.
I paid over $60k just in annual domain fees.
I spammed TGP sites with auto submitters back in 2001 where TGSW still wasn't out,
And then switched out 404s when indexed
That made me a pretty penny.
Most of the things you see me doing are maybe 1-2 years before time, where competition was minimal.
And profit was maximest.
I'm just like everybody else, no special tricks up my sleeve.Last edited by mrbling; 01-08-2006, 10:45 AM.millionare by 18 , beat that hOESComment

I have to disagree with you on some points.Originally posted by mrbling
All a millionaire has to do to make a family is shoot his load into some whore dumb enough to stick around after the baby is born. Instant family.
All I have to do to make a lot of money is have a plan, bust my ass and work hard. Making money is easy for some of us, you are obviously one of those people. But it does not stop there.
All of that does not make you successful. Being a millionaire means shit if you are empty inside. If you are not in love or have someone to share it with that you enjoy. You can piss away a million dollars just as quickly as you can make it. So what. If you can not stand to be alone at night or lay in bed with your head spinning without knowing what true peace or ZEN is... wrestling with your personal demons... you have not found success, you have only found money.
Guys like Donald Trump do not mean shit to me. Yea, he may be rich beyond anything I could ever dream of but only he knows in his mind if he is successful at life. Not just business. He may be the most insecure, lonely man on earth. That is not success. That is sad.Comment

There are two kinds of egotistical people.
1) People who have nothing to back it up, are really empty inside. So they have to BULLSHIT to keep up their pride.
2) People who have made a lot of money, became very successful , date super models, known world wide.
Are so full of themselves because they really are so FULL of accomplishments that you are ego tripping every day with SUBSTANCE. Complete euphoria really.
These people don't have to bullshit, they just talk about actual accomplishments and its like amazements.
How can trump ever feel insecure? You only become insecure when you don't have what you or don't know you can actually accomplish things with success.
Not when you have everything you want and you just start bragging because you love to ego trip.

Sad really, low expectations.
What gets me is your belief if some here are HAPPY with what they are making, just because it's not up to YOUR expectations, they should instead feel bad. WHo died and made you God and I find it sad that the only way you feel good about yourself is to tell others how retared and how big losers they are because they don't meet YOUR expectations.
Hey you are doing great for yourself, that's nice. No one cares, but you. Sorry that bothers you. Why not be happy for yourself and quit trying to make others feel bad so you you can feel more "successful".Comment

He could have exactly all that and be the mostly lonely man on earth.Originally posted by mrbling
I know a guy who has 2 kids, a beautiful wife, millions in the bank, a monster company, great friends... and is one of the loneliest guys I have ever met. To him, what he has is not enough. It never is. He can not simply "BE" and enjoy the moment because he is so caught up in what is coming down the road, the road that he has no real control over. Because of this he is not close to the ones who love him and it shows to everyone but him. He has it all but misses the point. Life is passing him by, he is miserable, and he has it all.
With all due respect, your 24 years old. You may be ballin' out of control and be light years ahead of me or anyone else on the success-o-meter, and I hope you are, but there is more to life that acquiring things, cash and people. The older you get the more you will understand what I mean. At 24 I would of thought the same thing. And I mean no disrespect by that, your mind just changes as you grow older and grow in life experience. My mind today at 33 is not even 2% of the same mind I had at 24. And I am still young. I can't even imagine what I will think at 50 or 80 and how much my priorities will have changed. Life is about the journey bro. With a million dollars or without it, it's all about the journey and who you share it with.
Set your self up for the future. That is a great idea. But you can't call others losers because they have a different persective of what success is. 10 years from now you will also have a different perspective.

2k, 5k, 10k, 100k a month, those numbers don?t mean you are successful. Success is only defined by your own goals, your own PERSONAL goals and not your work or income. Disipline, goals, steady growth, proper budgeting, and making a NET will help you get to your goals, which may help you become successful.
Someone here could make 10k montly, another person can make 5k montly. If the 10k person spends 75% each month on expenses and the 5k a month guy spends 50% in monthly bills because he budgets better, they both will net $2500 a month. Who is more successful?
Having a bad ass house, cars, cloths, jewels, etc.. May mean you have money, but it sure doesn?t mean you are a successful person. Normally these people have LESS NET money, they would rather buy things than invest properly. Being so, this group of high earning high spending people could only survive for a few months or a few years if they lost their business.
