There is not a get rich quick method, it takes dedication and you only get results if you are willing to work for it.

I respect you as a person and as someone that has had success in the adult industry and wish you many more happy, successful years to come.
I agree with what you say. And it's a method used by most successful people in most businesses.

The problem with porn is a lot thought it was easy and a get rich quick business.

The problem is many didn't have a clue what the market was and thought marketing = giving it away.

The people who thing I can't market porn are clueless. How did I sell anything if I couldn't market well?

You like most trolls will listen to anyone who says what you want to hear. Doesn't have to be the truth, just what you want to hear.

And that's been the main problem for 10 years. "Bro's" churning out the same message which basically = The more you give away the more you will sell.

Until the free content was better than the bought content for 99.9% of surfers. In fact everyone would be earning a lot more if 1-1,000 of online porn consumers did buy porn. The true number would be more like 1-3,000.

Here's some marketing advice for 2011. Make the INSIDE or paysites better than the outside free stuff. Rocket science it maybe, but that would make me a rocket scientist.

I know how, just can't be bothered these days, paysites were always 3rd in line on our income structure. If they had of been higher I would of created a proper paysite that would of been far better than most online. Not hard, just take 20 years experience.
