If you could do this all over again... What would you do different?

10-05-2009, 06:55 PM

If I could do it all over again.... Man one thing I would of done differently...

I wouldn't of let the 2 bitches from hell push me out of maxcash. They eventually got fired for being incompetent a few months later. If I would of stuck around, I might still be working with that crew. Best company in adult I've had the pleasure of working with.

You?

I would change some of the people I did buisness with or partnered up with at some points over last 9 years. Some of my decissions were almost career ending. Aside from that Im pretty happy where im at. Everyone would like more money saved but Ive accumulated a ton of content and have a few very good clients I work with.

Though I almost would swear that lens bought gofuckyourself from someone else. Er mabey I am just thinking about adult.com but pretty sure I am not. As I recall this domain having a guy with either his fist or his own dick up his ass as the main page and that was about it.

People already said domains. Only damn issues was the damn 70.00 ea renewals. Yeah it would of paid of but many of us were broke.
Guessing money wise I would of patented some shit.
Also would not of put the nail in the content industry by opening up free content so much - hell that was a slipery slope, sorry.
I would not of used several billing agents and got my own merchants or stuck with epoch or ccbill (ccbill more likely as there was an issue once with the other if memory serves).
Made more paysites earlier on and not listened to the whole read for awhile, learn this then that, then blah blah and wait years.
Would of not sold a few hun listings to quiet and used them more myself. Yes you bought some from me, prolly do not remember. You were posting about it asking for them. Also think I did a content job for you at one point.

Damn I could make a hell of a list.

Buy domains, own everything myself instead of partnering, build paysites instead of selling content 8 years ago, follow my intuition on projects I should have done but didn't, follow my intuition on projects I shouldn't have done but did...

I wish I worked more for the future and re-invested in the éarly day's (99-01) and obviously the domains like most guy's in this thread say. That's not easy when you're 16.

Damn I could make a hell of a list.

I remember when domains were $70. sucked considering when I started I had 0 money. when domains where being sold for $35 with directnic that was awesome back then.

But, if I could do it all over I would have bought more domain. Actual good ones. I would have learn seo, network with all the right people. Those are a few of the things I would have done differently. There are many more things, but it would take me to long to list them all. Either way, I can't redo anything so I just have to live with what I have learned and learn more, work harder and not waste any time.
