100 questions for Steve Lightspeed of Lightspeedcash

91) Where do you see yourself two years from now as far as business?
See #15.

92) What would you most like to be remembered for?
I had someone once tell me, ?We?re sorry we were so mean to you when you first started, but we didn?t know you were going to last this long!? I?ve carried that like a badge of honor. I try to deal with everyone equally and fairly, from total newbies to the biggest names in the industry. I hope to be remembered as the guy that treated everyone like a friend.

93) What would you have done differently, if anything?
I think the grass only looks greener on the other side. I?ve second-guessed every decision I?ve ever made. The biggest thing I wish I?d have done differently? I used to treat the conventions like a vacation, often getting so trashed that I didn?t represent myself or my company well at all. People thought I wasn?t serious about business. It hurt my reputation and my health until luckily my wife and friends forced me to face my demons and get control of myself and my lifestyle.

94) If the porn business suddenly became non-existant for some strange reason, would you find a different line of work, go back to school, tap dance on the desk in the Oval Office?
I would probably turn my talents to selling mainstream products online. I might also consider playing ?Mr Mom? for a few years.

95) What was your first job?
Between 15 and 16, I worked for a 18 months as a gas station attendant.

96) How did you get your first affiliates?
I shot content for SneakyPeeks.com and PantySchool.com in exchange for traffic when I was brand new. The owner of that site was my first affiliate. After that, I traded exit traffic and members-area links to get traffic. I started posting to TGP?s, and a few other gallery makers liked my content and asked if they could build galleries too. We have had some excellent affiliates that have been with us since almost the very beginning!

97) As a paysite owner who produces his own content, I'll ocassionally have models who are "found" by family members. Some of them go thru some very hard times because of this. How do you deal with similar situations?
We try to prepare our girls in advance as much as possible. I tell them we will be putting them in front of more than 2 million people every day. Its just like being on TV. Tawnee?s parents found out she was modeling when someone pasted her pictures on her father?s car. He was angry, and she was emotionally devastated. I think its important to make sure our models know what they are getting themselves into.

98) What is the biggest challenge you see ahead for Lightspeed? and for the adult industry?
For Lightspeed, our biggest challenge is finding the right models. We?ve had some incredible successes and some horrible failures. Our business model depends on not only finding and shooting the hottest models we can find, but keeping those models interacting with their sites and fans. I?ve told people recently that keeping ANY model for more than six months is a huge accomplishment. We?ve been very lucky so far.

For the industry, the biggest challenge will be keeping greed from killing the whole business. We are the only industry that pays itself to destroy itself. Spam, spyware, and deceptive billing practices are hurting us all.

99) Will you ever retire from this biz?
I?ve done this all along not for money, but for fun. When I don?t feel like I?m having fun anymore, I might choose to move on to something new.

100) Steve on a scale of 1 to 10 how much do you regret posting this thread right now?
I?m glad I posted this thread. I just didn?t realize it would take me weeks to finish it! I have tried to answer all these questions as thoroughly and honestly as I could. If I get criticized for my answers, then so be it. I hope this ?100 questions? type thread gets copied by other people. I think people need to remember that a lot of rumors and bullshit gets spread around about so-called ?names? in this biz. The things you hear and read aren?t always the truth. Tt?s best to hear the stories straight from the source!
