Thank you. Not really character. Direct selling at the level I was, is very stressful and fucks you up after a while. I had just lost my Father and it really effected me. So switching in 1988 to full time porn was inevitable.
Jumping from magazine and video sales to the Internet in 1998/1997 was so risky. I know what a few say here. I met them and later went to the shows. Most were struggling and offering "partnerships" or so arrogant it was shocking. However people were buying sets of slides to scan and that was nice easy money. $3 to $10 an image.
The Internet was at a snails pace for many, billing was a nightmare. when you're making good money. Jumping from one ship to another that's not looking so good takes more balls than I have.
Late 1987, met Eva, went to Czech to shoot in 1998 and found it was a treasure chest of babes. Married later that year, moved to CZ 1999 and tried to keep the cash flowing, shoot all the babes and wait 6-12 months for the money to flood back. And you all know that story.
Went to every LV show 1999 to 2006 maybe. 1999 was a funny time. Most were desperate for content. Bang Bus was shooting along with a few others. Most didn't have a clue and digital cameras were expensive or bad. Had 4 brokers selling our content online and making us nice bucks. Yet not taking everything. I knew and trusted them all.
Spoke to brokers like Zmaster, Ounique and others. Who I never trusted. So open a paysite or a content store? You know the rest.
Always been cautious and stuck to what I know best and brings in money. Except 1988 when I had no choice. Never spent like a pimp and you know the rest.
