hey Batts, sorry to hear you are moving on - you are correct, it is almost impossible these days for anybody to shoot their own content and run their own sites from a standing start. I should have told you this when we first began chatting but you seemed so optimistic and seemed to have more resources than most of the guys like you I talk to that I decided to let you give it a go. it's no embarassment that you didn't have the success you planned - very few, if any, would have done any better.

because of sonofsam and you, both whom i consider friends, i'm going to stop being so encouraging to newcomers and give them the facts to do with what they like. i fear you were an easy mark for people wanting to make some money off you.

best of luck with whatever your next endeavors are mate

Thanks Mutt, very well said and very true. Thanks for your time on ICQ in the past. You are one of the very small handful of honorable guys in the biz.

It wasn't so long ago that I had to go thru very similar things when my program got way too big for me and health issues arised from the stress and everything snowballed for me..... so I know probably better than most what you are going thru right now and I feel for you.

It takes very little to fail, but it takes A LOT to admit you failed..... kudos to you for being a REAL man, many could take notes from you.

Thanks Tam. I hope everything is going well for you now.

Best of luck in 2008 and everything you do after

Best of luck in 08 as well, things getting worse and worse spur us onto trying something completely different and that can sometimes be the best thing we do. Riding and relying on a sinking ship isn't a good way to live, and getting out before things get even worse can feel like a great relief.

on a batts note: if you had chosen your girls better I think you could have made it, you had the drive and seemed to have a nice enough rep in the biz, you really could have gone the distance for sure, but your girls were below average

I didn't read the thread, but did you mention anywhere where you think you went wrong? lots of people could learn from it, and maybe you also, that way in the future you, and others, can avoid making the same mistakes

Batts, your honesty is appreciated. the old saying: if you don't try, you automatically fail. If you do try, then you succeed where others have failed.

And handling it in this manner is 9/10th of it all.

Best to you.

i doubt that. I get what you are trying to say, that a lot more people will be quiting because they can't make a go of it, but I doubt many will go out with class. Most will just crash and burn and/or rip people off on their way out the door.

Good look to what ever you decide to do batts. Also I wouldn't say you failed. I am sure you will be selling your sites for something, so thats a plus right there. Also I bet you learned a lot of stuff during the time you ran your sites and shot content, maybe even some things you can take with you to your next venture. One of the best things I ever did was spending a year in network marketing, even though i failed terribly to make money I learned more about business, motivation, goals, public speaking, everything etc.. than I did from 4 years of college. Hopefully you can take some stuff with you from this too that will help you in the future.

Sorry but I also agree with Dial, or maybe it was you not getting the best out of the girls. A balance of both maybe.

To all the people giving out advice for people to pick up a camera and shoot content.

That's what Batts did and he was liked on the boards and I'm sure a lot of people sent him traffic.

My advice to anyone thinking of shooting your own content for your own site is this. Don't. Unless you KNOW you can crack it.

Paul, i respect you, i always have and i am the last person who should be saying anything but i have seen many other sites with girls that were alot different to my models and they are making massive money.

Batts,

You loose some, you win some. No one can forever win and be forever succesfull. Sometimes is better to know when to quit and you feel that now it is time, just do it.

If you apply the lessons you earned here I am sure that you will be succesfull on the next things that you are going to do.
