I support the inevitable paulmarkhamification of the adult industry.

I second that emotion!

Most would be better off if they listened to him.

Why don't you just focus on what you do? Besides... magic links come on.... Every smart sponsor would limit the aff links from the robots.txt and SE won't index them..

Seems to me Paul shot rather average Euro slut content and never really made a lot of money. His only saving grace was that he was shooting cheap content that cost nothing to produce and was selling it to crappy magazines in the US that were willing to pay him more than it cost him to produce it.

That's not success. That's called "getting by".

Met a girl who introduced me to a place that had limitless supplies of babes. Able to seduce her and together we built a strong business where we could sell or work to many outlets.

Was able to employ the people I needed, except in the online marketing field. I found most couldn't survive without being spoon fed, some were crooked and the good ones were like me doing it for themselves and out of the price range of al of us. Could never form a working relationship with one of these guys, they never saw the benefits of linking the two skills we had. Even though the evidence was staring them in the face.

It's actually a very good question and could be extended to others.

Look at the success of Bang Bros, for instance, is it their ability to drive traffic or their ability to convert, retain and monetise that traffic that makes them successful? Then without bullshit what is the number 1 key needed to convert, retain and monetise traffic.

Now look at Evil Angel. It was their ability to produce great content that people bought on reputation that led to their success.

Now why didn't more people see where they lacked skills and partnered up with someone who lacked their skills to go even further as a team?

The single skill missing in most webmasters is a lack of understand the wider porn world, unable to adapt and only really skilled webmasters.

Does a butcher need to know how to be a farmer? No, unless he believes he can run a farm.

Think about it.

So what is it?

Who could lay enough cash on the table to tempt over an already established person in his field, to come in and join up or employ him to get an even better return?

An excuse for everything... never willing to call it what it is. Is a question that fits many here. Could you afford to lay enough cash on my table to bring me to it?

You have a broken image.

Most of the sites don't give previews, you have to sign up before you get anything, or so it seemed to me.

What I did see was the same as so many others.

However how much did you earn from the offline markets with that content?

No excuses to cover up why you failed, give us the truth.

Because Gay was a big seller in the DVD market before the decline, under a different title you could of made millions off it.

Just this weekend I was on ignore. Damian was right, two days max.

Um plenty of producers work with online companies. Just because nobody ever wanted to work with you doesn't mean its the case for every other producer out there.

LOL sorry yeah, new exclusive site launch from the other day. Forgot to put the thumb up. We use established producers to shoot that content for us. Funny how that works, huh? Content isn't used offline because all 900ish scenes shot in last few years. No previews because testing shows ratios are better without previews.

Frankly I'm not surprised that you lied about matching the Manwin payment.

Epitome is like some lost puppy following me around and making up stories as he goes along. You two will be good friends, I'throw you a ball.

When people have so little to flame me with they're left with a mistake I made years ago. Must be close to 6 or 7 years now.

Isn't that what GFY is for?

I have no idea why he's got the hots for me, maybe I turned his advances down once, maybe he's jealous of me. Damina and I have a reason to go off at each other. Epitome, no idea why he follows me around like a lost puppy. I already have one of those and he's really funny and straight so no need for a gay one.

Epitome. Did you fix the magic image on your affiliates site?
