With all the revenue that is being generated from AFF, it being mostly liquid assets have you considered going public and turning it into an income trust?

Any of our affiliate team can help people make money with dating, cams,
social networking, etc - their direct email is affiliate at friendfinderinc.com.
If I was starting out and wanted to make money, I would look at the issue
of site promotion as an arbitrage issue - the old adage of buy low, sell
high. That's the key to EVERY business - and is the fundamental way to
look at an online business. In this case, we are buying and selling
people's attention. Finding people to sell attention is easy - just find
the person who will pay you the most and send your visitors to them. The
tougher part is finding efficient (e.g., cheap) ways to get people's
attention.
You have two options: buy it (search engines, ad buys) or create it.
Buying it is increasingly difficult, as being a "simple" process, there is
a natural tendency for people and businesses to overspend. So we are
then forced to come up with ways to create it - the cheapest way is to
give something that satisfies a unique need and can be promoted to a very
targeted group of visible people (people who will then spread the word)
for example:
- create a resource for people (e.g., web-based bookmark manager site, sms
personal reminder service, rss feed member-based review site)
- create a service plugin for a larger site (e.g., image hosting for ebay,
game plugins for free homepage sites)
- create a service personally (e.g., your reviews of something, your advice
about something, your "how-to" on something)
I would start out small and test a couple ideas (especially how to promote
them) before putting too much effort in execution. Maybe do 3-4 different
things simultaneously until something gets traction. Then figure out what
you're doing right and repeat. The adult biz is a crucible of innovation -
the key is to find the niche where you can help others the most.
I hope that helps! Thanks everyone for the kind feedback. Feel free
to email me (andrew at friendfinderinc.com) or the team if you have other
questions or have ideasCEO, Friend Finder

You can't help but be impressed when the owners of two HUGE and long standing businesses are still so involved in the day to day activities of running them. It would be very easy for you both to sit back, enjoy the spoils and let others get their hands dirty.
Props to both of you - Lars has always been one of my all time favorite folks (hell, the first time I saw a picture of him he was wearing a skirt) and maybe one day I can meet the guy with the cute dimples

Very good interview and I'd like to thank the Mike (I think) guy for asking the other questions... Perhaps Sleazy should have talked to HIM before writing his own.
Thanks to the Professor for taking the time to answer a ton of extra questions.
Thanks to Sleazy for picking an awesome person to interview and for promoting it so I'd know to be around.
And lastly... Awesome... You hit 100 posts on the last question. You truely ARE the Professor!Comment

Aff
Professor:
1) Do you ever plan on advertising AFF on Mainstrean T.V?
2) When you started AFF, How did you intially attract members and have enough profiles for the customers to be interested?
How do you open a dating site unless you have tons of profiles already in there?
3) Did you pay for advertising? Did you have your own traffic back then?
Thanks for the reply in Advance!
