2. I have read your Clips4Sale tutorials and got great information from them. Speaking for myself, it can be overwhelming in the beginning if you are producing content and then figuring out how to set up a website with payment gateway for adult; blogging and SEO to drive traffic, etc. A lot of work with no initial payoff - but that's generally how life is, you have to invest time and money before you start to reap any benefits. 3. My mantra has always been: "if it was easy, everybody would do it". |
Do it!!
No shame in making a mil! |

I am with robbie,you cant replicate someone steps unless you give some sort of copy paste steps plus that person need to have atleast some knowledge and persistence as well.I spent hours and hours to teach one kid about blogs,seo and everything what i know it to do at that moment,and he wasn't able to do anything concrete and that was pre-tube era.
But still it is good to hide your knowledge,for example my mom thinks just because i am good with computers i should know to fix any tech.Or some other people who abuse you to get for free what usually they should pay a lot of money on professional service. |

Also owned Pure Candy Images (content company) and shot every picture for that...we sold that in 2002 to Brad Shaw. Point is, I busted my butt and used whatever talents I have to the best of my abilities. Everything we did was right out there in the open for anyone to see. I mean, think about it...Look at Playboy Magazine. Hugh Hefner's entire business was right there on display...it was a freakin' magazine! And yeah, plenty of people TRIED to replicate what he did. But his unique talent as a photographer in the early days, and his personal sense of direction for the magazine was something that could not be "stolen". That's why he (and Playboy) are icons. And all the magazines that tried to be just like Playboy have all come and gone and are mostly forgotten. That was the point I'm making. If you bring something unique to the table...and it can be as subtle as the angle you use to shoot a picture, or your sense of humor, etc...nobody can steal that. On the other hand...if what you are doing is just running a script a certain way that anybody else could do in a few minutes...then yeah, you might want to hide that. |

No one learns things by themselves. No one! Information isn't created out of thin air. At some point along the line everyone has read an article, used a tool, and received advice in some form from someone else. I'm not a good guy to get friends, I'm genuinely just a good guy :) I love talking with people, helping people, and forging relationships. |

I asked here how to build a TUBE from zero and gain traffic to monetize it, and nobody "really" helped: https://gfy.com/showpost.php?p=19657204&postcount=52 Will you help me, Glenn?.. And I'm talking about a hosted tube from PimpRoll, Glenn. Every single thing I learned to make money in adult, I learned it on my own, sitting 24/7/365 in front of computer and testing different things. There is no other way, unless you are fortunate enough to be part of the 1% that has someone introducing you. There is no such thing as a magic email that will explain you step by step how to make money... P.S: Some people think that "being nice" to someone and licking his feet and ass, will give them a special email with secrets to build a Blog Empire with a script. That's fucking bullshit. And also pathetic to have to lick someone else feet to get something in exchange. Pathetic from both part, the person trying to show off as a PRO in a forum (when he is not) and the person "being nice" (complete fakeness) expecting to get something in exchange. Truly pathetic from both parts. Just sayin... |
Nevermind, totally posted in wrong thread

Nothing personal with you or anyone else, tho... I was talking in general terms, according to what I see and experience. I would also like to add that all the people I added to ICQ these last few years, hardly are opened to talk. It's like they are involved in their own tasks and are not able or opened to have a conversation to exchange knowledge. BTW, you talk about networking with other adult webmasters. Where do you do that? Really wondering... |

Ok, what's your ICQ then? Show me I am wrong... I will be waiting, JEL... Come on tell me your ICQ so you can give Free Advice and prove your point, JEL.... ---- |

I've also hit up many people for advice - I can't think of a single time actually when I didn't get advice when I asked for it. But then I (hopefully) didn't come across like a jackass with a sense of entitlement when I did :thumbsup politeness, humility, and gratitude go a hell of a long way when dealing with people :2 cents: |
Quote:
hey, whaddya know, you just got some free advice off me :winkwink: |
If you're a newbie or just feel unmotivated this thread delivers. Don't expect anyone to help you ever!
|
meh, just worked out mainstream guy is venusblogger. those posts make sense now.

I agree a lot with Jel and Failed.. The people I network with and ask for advice and feedback from are valued people who I have talked to and worked with whether it was swapping services or being paid for many years.

I've never been afraid to put myself out there and ask for help. I've also never turned down an offer to help someone else. It's the way I believe life should work and I try my best to pass that belief on to others. Thank you! Quote:
I talk the ears off of people on ICQ. I've honestly had conversations that went on to eat up entire work days. It's not always about advice or sharing information, I just love to talk. That is where the majority of information is exchanged, for me personally. There are times when people don't respond because they are busy, or just don't want to talk. I just give them a couple days and try again. Sometimes I don't ever get a reply and I know not to bother that person any longer. But, don't give up on the first try, and always be humble. I've also had some very long email conversations. Sometimes email is a better method to communicate than ICQ because there is less pressure to respond right away. When responses are made, they are very detailed and thorough. But again, sometimes people just don't want to be bothered. I just leave them alone and move on. My best advice to you, on this subject, would be to not let rejections of the past effect potential relationships in the future. |
And of course there are also the often maligned industry shows.
I know that some people are disparaging of them....but you do get to meet people face to face and forge relationships. Most folks are more likely to do business with people they have met and like. So remember the next time you come to Vegas for the AVN/Internext show...we can do business over a giant bag of cocaine and some naked whores. lol Well...we could! But we will more likely do business over a drink and a few laughs at the Casino bar. :) |

I knew you were not going to help. And instead you accuse me from some things and call me names. Interesting way to help people out, JEL. :) So just stop the HYPOCRESY instead and don't talk lies here, dude. Just sayin... Now comes the part when you contact someone at random from this post and you give him some bullshit advice, and tell him to come back to this thread claiming that you helped him... just to try to PROVE your point... Totally useless tho, because I asked you to prove your point with me, not with anyone else, and you FAILED... Yeah, "Failed" is the name of another user. Cya, toots... |
mehhh, anyways, who can JEL help out after all? Like he were someone successful in this business?... Well, he could maybe help a complete noob...
But anyway, I was just giving him the chance to prove his point, despite if he can help anyone or not. I'm sure he has a lot to learn from others, than what he has to give. But he refused to prove his point, anyways so... Cya. |

Yeah man, talking is one thing. But passing good advice and talking business is another, very different. People don't do that anymore, nowadays. Specially in Adult, due of the current situation of the business, people try to protect their stuff and hardly, or almost never pass info about what they do to make money. The way you ASK won't make a difference at all. If you ask nicely, people will ignore you. -> When I started, I tried this over and over and over and the result was the same, always the same. If you ask "Directly", people will say: "Hey, why do you ask me that way? If you asked nicely I would answer, but now I don't answer"... For example JEL... The truth is that he has a huge EGO, asking nicely won't make a difference at all. He could just prove his point contacting me, but his Massive EGO defeated him. Cya bud. |
