But there are lots of other ways of figuring you out. People inevitably talk. Your best performing sponsor my have a big mouth and may mention to someone what you do etc.. Sometimes it's innocent slip of the tongue. But you can bet your ass people here are now wondering about you
I just thing it's much smarter to be low key and only let people you're actually networking at shows etc.. know what you do. This just comes from my personal experience. Hopefully you won't figure out the same lesson 
Honestly I'm not trying to bash you or anything and think it's very cool that you've been successful at this. You've probably just inspired 90% of GFY with your figures.
Again congrats and good luck to a prosperous 2005  |
well thanks for the advice but here is ANOTHER juicy tidbit I have learned from my experience....
Dont' worry.
Yup.. that's my piece of advice... don't worry.. Anytime you see your sales take a dip... everytime a server goes down... anytime one of your top sponsors shuts down, don't worry...
Now make sure you understand me... I didnt say not to freak out, fix that shit asap and learn your lesson... but what I mean is dont be afraid that you are going to have to go back to your job at McDonalds... it takes some practice but don't run your business like a paranoid little adultwebmaster.
Let me a bit more clear -- Freaking out over a specific problem is short-term and lasts for the life of the problem - that's understandable...worrying is your day to day paranoia that your sales are dropping, you are doing shit in the search engines, you are never going to make it in this business... etc etc.
Just like any business, this business has its ups and downs. Your business/income wont go straight up, but you have to stick to it, keep building and learn new things whenever you can.
I have realized that sex sells and we are still just at the very beginning of a massive market that is emerging. There are many people who have never even been to a pornsite yet. I know that may seem hard to believe but its true. And with the quality sites that are coming out many guys are going to start making it a habit of having 3-4 memberships at their favorite sites that deliver. and I wanna be there to tell them about the new ones coming out.
My point is I can lose all my shit tonight, today, right now, and I'd be back baby. This business is continually evolving and even I STILL learn something new EVERYDAY... get it? I remember before days/weeks would go by before I learned something new... now i learn something new and worthwhile everyday...
phew, these rantings of an adultwebmaster are gettin' me tired I am going to go get something to eat.
