Ours was a bit different.
We tried just about everything and couldn't get any traffic.
We started off with AVS sites then launched our own AVS Agecheck.com, still had no traffic. Then we came up with the craziest idea ever. Free hosting to anyone that would use our AVS on their site. That was the key. This was all back in 96.
From then on, we just added programs no other AVS had and made us different. But for about two years, we struggled and struggled. Borrowed money from here, there it was crazy.
Then my brother Gary said, maybe you guys should get an office but we were still scared back then. We were like. That's 1000 bucks a month, what if, what if.
What we learned out of all this. We could of took the easy way out and folded the company but instead, we all stayed positive. Positive things happen tp positive thinkers. 8 years later, about 80 Employees in a 20,000 Square foot building. Can't complain.
So a big thanks to everyone that supported us along the way .

Yea, thats so awesome. I never did mess with AVS at all... But man that shit was a big competitor to paysite programs since day one. You guys definately had a good niche.
Yea, when I first got started I had to dump all my saving into my 1 man company just to get it afloat. Then for the first year I think I put 85% of what I made back into the company and even quit a really good job. It was so scary at first but those 18 hour days payed off. Hard work actually works I guess
