The picture I got was the sites were just piling up content with little thinking, format or planning. Sites were lacking identity. Any suggestions to change was met with resistance. Mofos I could improve right away. Content and the rest of the members area. I made the claim in the documentary.

One thing I have learned over 30 years is what's good porn. Playboy to Amateur.

I made you the offer and you don't even inquire, what I have in mind. If you think a guy with 3 decades experience in the porn industry, shooting from real amateur to glamor. Can help your clients improve their product, hit me up on ICQ or Skype.

Well here's an opportunity, hit me up and listen to what I offer. I can write better info to marketing than you think. It's more about what you market rather than how and where. Needs to be different to fit the individual. What suits one person won't suit the next.
....
Telling people my ideas and what I learned over the years in a blog, is self defeating. Then they don't need me.

the problem i see, and the reason i wont take you seriously as a consulting partner, is that you keep telling everybody you are a marketing expert. you are not a marketing expert. you are a content expert.
if you branded yourself solely as a content expert -- which i DO believe you are -- then you would be focused and could attract some attention. when you start lecturing about marketing, affiliate management, members areas and other areas of the business where you clearly have not succeeded, people stop reading and dismiss you.
i sell marketing, i spend 20-50% of my week on marketing, but i am not a marketing expert. i muddle through it as best i can and refer the work i cant do myself. however there are guys here who do marketing 12 hours a day and are masters of traffic. these guys are marketing experts.
most 'pro' photographers probably dont want advice from you, but there is definitely a huge audience for your advice about content in the solo and amateur markets. people like LeluLove dont have professional photography training or 30 years of experience in shooting porn, so they might be open to some advice and tips. i highly doubt they would take you seriously as a marketing expert tho, which is why i wouldn't refer you.
stick to what you know and keep quiet about what you dont know (even tho you think you do). your history shows your expertise in shooting. it shows your weakness is marketing. you cant hide this with thousands of words of unread typing on gfy. if you were an expert in marketing, Manwin would have hired you to manage some sites, not shoot a solo scene.
