Not much to talk about at the moment. we launched www.paulmarkhamteens.com back in December and so far pretty pleased with what it's doing.11. Talk about your paysites?
I'm trying out different things with the tours and driving traffic to learn what works and what does not. Lots of people are offering to take it over and manage, run or help. But if I let others do it I will not learn myself.
It's not like we need the money, more like I need the challenge of conquering another hill.
We have two new tours we are putting the finishing touches to, if they work we will extend the affiliate program. But I want to get it right before I start taking other people traffic in a big way. Got two clients with big sites sending us traffic and there traffic converts at under 1:40, which I do not think is good enough for membership traffic from similar sites.
that's it really, we sign up around 30 to 40 a week and the numbers are growing. we do little to drive traffic at it other than Chameleon Auto Submitter and a few partner accounts.Comment

So many, but to name a few.12. Who do you look upto in your business? Down on?
Steve Colby, John Mason, Joanie Alumn, Jack Harrison, Steve Hicks, suze Randall, Lindsay Honey (Ben Dover) John Stagliano (Buttman)
From this end of the porn business, Bailey Brown (www.sapphicerotica.com) Lightspeed, Mr Skin, JFK, Meat and Aga from Netpond.
BUT ALL TAKE SECOND PLACE BEHIND

FORGOT ABOUT LOOKING DOWN.
Idiots, those who think it's easy, those who think they have something to offer when they cleary do not.
But above all those who insult my profession and what I have tried to do right for the last 27 years.Comment

To promote our business and learn about the Adult Internet.13. Why do you come to GFY?
Made some money, learned some things and best of all made some friends.Comment

I was with my first wife during the late 70s and early 80s.14. Are you a swinger?
But not today.Comment
-
This one is easy to answer.15. What's the best thing that's ever happened to you? Worst?
The best thing that ever heppened to me was Eva, she gave my life new meaning and purpose.
The worse was losing my father. he died fairly young and the last time we talked we argued.Comment
-
Born 22nd of August 1950, I will be 55 this August.16. Just how fucking old are you anyway?
I think about retiring all the time, only problem is I would not know what to do with my self. Maybe I could sit on a beach for a few weeks, but I would soon miss Eva and Victoria, our daughter, maybe just do more shows and less studio and office work.Comment
-
Normally I would say no, but in our case the answer is yes.17. Is it smart to have family members working in your business?Comment
-
Yes and they succeeded.18. Has anyone ever tried to extort you?
Back in the days when I ran a clothing factory and it's the reason I went bankrupt.
These days I'm a bit more careful, if I buy custom content, design or programming we pay when the goods are delivered and approved. Or we put it on my Visa so if the goods do not arrive as ordered I can charge back.
But I often get idiots approach me with a mailing list off 50K active webmasters. Idiots do not think for themselves and realise I have a mailing list and know how many are active and how hard it would be to collect that many. They disappear when I offer them a cut from the mailing rather than a straight purchase.Comment

Sorry no can do, home is private.19. Post pics of you house and talk about it and any other real estate you own.Comment

I have a Ford Focus Ghia estate. Good for doing trips where I can put all the equipment in the back. Had it nearly three years and no intention of replacing it until it starts to go wrong.20. What kind of car(s) do you have? pics
Not into fancy or expensive cars.
This picture is from a lesbian voyeur shoot we did.Comment
-
Not enough.21. How many adult conventions do you attend a year? Did you attend?
We tried to get to Vegas this year and because of our daughter having to go to hospital never made it, she's fine now.
I might go to Pheonix at the last minute but with new staff to train it's unlikely. I will definitely be in Prague in April for that show and Eva and I will try to make it to Miami this year.Comment

10 years ago it was my only contact with the Internet, I spent a lot of time chasing people who were stealing my content from a collection of CD discs I had made of my content and scanning from magazines.22. Talk about image theft.
What I did not realise was many of the people stealing were doing so because they did not know where to buy from. Ishould of looked on them as a potential customer.
Today if we find someone stealing we go after them, contacting their sponsor, hosting and even URL registration. I think there is money to be made by someone pursuing these people and the sponsors who reguarly allow stolen content to be used for their boards promotion. Offer them to buy a more expensive license after the theft or go to court.
Needs a legal brain to organise it and I'm not that.Comment
-
Nikon D1X and D100 for digital.23. What kind of photograph equipment do you use?
Canon EOS 3 & 5 for film work.
Sony VX200 for video.
Nothing spectacular but they work.Comment
-
Yes it's my one luxury.24. Do you fly first class? Why?
However when I fly with Eva she insists on flying coach so I sit with her.
I hate flying and going first class eases the pain, the business pays for it anyway.Comment
-
Not much to talk about really. The Czech Republic has a more adult approach to porn than some countries and other than having a CZ corporation, paying taxes, employing people I have little to do with the law.25. Talk about legal/government issuses for your buziness where you live.Comment
-
I think for this industry based in the US this could of been disasterous. It was not so much the threat from Acacia, IMO they are a badly managed company, it was more the threat from the Patent Licensing business in whole that concerned me.26. Acacia. Discuss
If the few who din stand up and fight had not I think the US Adult Industry would of been a target for other companies with similar operating methods as Acacia. Fortunately for us all the few did stand up and fight, showing the rest of patent business we are not low hanging fruit.Comment
-
Depends on the model.27. Do you let models come to your home?
If a girl is from a long way we will let her stay over night, assuming we feel she will respect our home. Learnt very early on in my career that letting them come 3 hours on a bus before a shoot results in having a tired model.
Also having her there the night before allows you to socialise and get to know each other. What we try to do is very intimate and personal, doing that with a stranger is harder than doing it with a friend.Comment
-
Nothing to discuss the two things do not go together.28. Discuss drugs and the models in your area.
It's too easy for a model to scream she was under the influence of drugs or alchohol while she was doing the work.
Also if she knows you are doing drugs and has a problem with you, then a phone call to the police drops you in deep shit.Comment
-
Not desperate at all.29. How desprate are the models in your area for work?
There are many crews coming to CZ to shoot, practically on a daily basis, and girls can get work at between $400 to $2,000 a day. In a country where the average wage for working class is $400 a month that's a nice chunk of change.
Also there is less pressure to earn money here than in say the US. People here for many years had little and had learned to live that way. So the idea that you can entice someone from a poor area with money, to do something they would not do is wrong.
More chance of enticing a girl from LA, with money than CZ. Plus she will have more things to spend it on and will need more sooner.Comment
-
You've been reading too many novels or maybe just the right wing press telling us how porn and organised crime are connected or that Eastern Europe is run by the mafia.30. Is there any organized crime affiliatons to your work in your area?
Never had any dealings with them at all.
We were in the US a few weeks ago and I had to find a doctor to sort out me and my flu. The receptionist was asking my mother if Czech was safe and that she would be scared if her son lived there. This is a woman who's a doctors receptionist and lives in So Cal.
I would say there are less murders in Czech than police killing the wrong people in CA.
I'm safe and touched by your concern.

No never, I go to conventions to do business not party.31. Have you ever been drunk or high at a webmaster/ adult convention?
I'm very boring really.

Used to have a problem going in and out of the UK, my passport was on a "WATCH" list and they would pull me over and search my luggage. I was down on the computer as a pornographer and needed extra watching, they never found anything.32. Discuss international borders and crossing them in this business.
In Europe now the borders are coming down and trade is much easier. so really nothing to say on this one.Comment

I left school shortly before my 15th birthday and for the last year had played truant most days.33. What is your education (high school/college) background?
left without a single award, result or diploma. which when you think of what I achieved since then is a shame on the school and system.
I found school boring, frustrating and useless. I could read write add and subtract and knew a fair bit about history, geography and Religious studies. When I asked to be included in the cooking classes, becasue I intended being a chef and loved to cook, was told it was for girls only.
When you consider I've design office interiors and earnt a fortune with a camera, the fact that I struggled to get an F at Art is an example of how bad the school I attended was.
Hated school and one of the best days of my life was the day I left school.Comment
