                i have very high self-esteem. almost egomaniacal levels.

                the reason this thread was given the title it has, is because i like helping people, and do you think "i run some websites, ask me anything" would get any responses?

                it likely wouldn't.

                but thanks for asking.

                    Why do bad things happen to good ppl?
                    why wouldnt they?

                    If you lost all your money, would you be able to make it back in a yr?
                    no, because part of my worth is savings & investments.

                            everything about me is hyper-active. sometimes when the cameras & lights are on, i start racing. i believe i know the interview of which you speak, and i was especially hyper.

                                  i would say, if you dont know how to program, learn.

                                  no reason to give away so much of your profits to cc processors, affiliates, etc etc...

                                        this is a tricky question to answer, because a major part of my business is MarketBanker, which is an ad marketplace. the site itself has no advertising, but it makes money from a cut of the ads from 6,000 other sites...

                                        what bank or processor do you use for CC processing?
                                        homegrown system, using versign

                                        How much longer do you think FC will bring in cash?
                                        i'll let you know when it happens.. hehe. seriously, it's pretty mainstream now and traffic/revenue is higher than it's ever been, so i dont see it petering off anytime soon. then again, those are famous last words...

                                        Do you think you could launch a site/venture without leveraging off of FC's traffic?
                                        that's a chicken-or-egg question. at one point, there was no fuckedcompany.com to leverage. now, all my sites leverage off all my other sites... they all build up each other. it's become a powerhouse-of-sorts that makes launching new products and sites considerably easier.

                                        Was FC a fluke or is there a formula to building work of mouth sites? If so whats the formula.
                                        that's actually the subject of my next book... to answer your question, it's a combination of both. FC's quick rise was a conbination of calculated planning, as well as lots of lucky mistakes.

                                        that goes for marketbanker, internalmemos, bizient.com, junglescan.com, bbs.fuckedcompany and more.

                                          i generally dont accept adult advertising on FC because 1 adult ad could (and has) scare away 10 mainstream advertisers.

                                          although i've been more lenient lately....

                                              How many lackies do you have working for you now? or do you try and do everything as a one man operation then contract out junk if needed.

                                                look closer. many of the posts are anonymous, but most meaningful ones are not.

                                                it's a very large, very close community with "FC Gatherings" (face-to-face meetings) in every major (and many minor) city in America...and some abroad.

                                                the anonymous posts are usually one-liners, flames, etc... or people just discussing something embarassing, or showing their "true colors".

                                                but it's a great community.

                                                                well the general rule-of-thumb is that most successful businesses start making money sometime around the 6th month.

                                                                my first successful business was a small consulting company, that eventually employed 6 people. it became profitable after 2 months, and required no investment other than my time.

                                                                that said, i'd say save enough $$$ to live for a few months without a job (i had enough money for 2 months, around $4,000). and don't fucking sleep until you've made a profit.

                                                                    Welcome to GFY.
                                                                    I have a question for ya. How can I determine the value of my assets (Sites) & subscriber base if I am trying to sell?
                                                                    I have a network of 5 sites (unrelated to porn) & 2.8 million members currently across the network which consists of mostly coreg campaigns I have ran in the past. I had a total of close to 5 million members which has shranked down to 2.8 million from dead emails and unsubscribes.

                                                                    Do I base my sale price on the past 3 months of GROSS revenue or Net revenue? Or is this not the correct formula.

                                                                    Lets say in 2002, the gross profit was $335,000 and The expense was $312,000 , that leaves only $23,000 net revenue, HOWEVER, what if the majority of the expense was not a monthly overhead. What if it was just growing expense like List management software, servers...etc. If the monthly expense was $3000 for bandwidth and $5,000 for advertisment, thats $8,000 monthly expense x 12 which is $96,000 in overhead expense.
                                                                    Should I subtract the $96,000 from the $335,000 to get a true net revenue of $239,000 as the TRUE net income? Also, am I suppose to disclose the Big chunk of expense which was not an overhead expense?

                                                                    The sale of the sites would not include the software and servers.
                                                                    Just the sites and lists.
