Yeah I get it from my friends as well.... The only person who truly understands what I do and how much time I invest in my online ventures is my girlfriend. She is the one who sits on the couch watching a movie while I crunch code for the evening. She is also the one who calls me at 2:00pm and bitches at me because I was up to 7:00am working on a site. Hehe
My parent's don't understand how I make money at the net and think that it if I post a couple of "nudie pics" up on the web I will simply make money! Hehe how far from the truth....
Alot of my buddies are interested and getting into gallery making but don't seem to understand why they don't get listed when they post sponsor content! LOL! And also that you have to get your galleries out to everyone and follow all of their individual rules....They don't understand that it costs money to make money and that if you don't work hard and put some real effort into it you won't make any money...
The most important thing I have learned from my online ventures is that connections and relationships are everything... You can't "teach" that to someone else. They have to make those contacts themselves and then go forth from there...
I think in this business you have to be 10% creative and 90% marketing. If you aren't getting out there and meeting people and communicating you will be dead in the water pretty quick! God damn my ICQ list a frickin mile long! LOL!
Anyways that is my
DH
