Not trying to bullshit, just being honest. Five years ago, when I started (Jan15, 2009) I had a Goal that I would no longer be 'Mister Peabody' in five years. That's how long I gave myself in this crazy business to 'make it'. Jan of 2014 is five full years so I decided over the summer the time was here to make the change. I started out shooting content (obviously clueless) so I never felt good about "me" being "out there" tho I'm not ashamed at all. Other than here on GFY I never really pushed 'Mister Peabody' the brand all that hard, instead focusing on my other sites like ErosExotica etc.

(I will also be starting a whole new affiliate program and network this Fall to handle just my 'erotic' websites. I began 'separating out' my paysites in June for this major switchover.)

I was unaware of all the above as I just went about my business of changing to The Porn Nerd. LOL Ah well, timing is everything eh? :)

You had a 5 year goal to aggressively build a brand (including all the animated youtube videos) and then hastily destroy it all overnight?

Sounds legit. :)

LOL Those YouTube videos have been down for a long time now. Hard to believe but YES - my Goal? To either be OUT of the porn biz in five years, having sold my little empire, or to be so successful I could 'hand the keys off' to another person or team to run the place so I could pursue what this whole madness was about to begin with: to earn a steady income while I wrote books. LOL It's true! I was a journalist for almost 15 years before all this (the Peabody Award was the inspiration) and when journalism died after 9/11 I said 'fuck it' and looked for ANYthing else to do. Being BROKE I shot some homemade porn and off we went....but I never wanted to be a full-time 'pornographer', just someone who made some nice scratch (anonymously) online with porn.

Then some of my sites BLEW UP and I suddenly found myself way more successful (and entrenched) than I thought I would be. So yes, I know it's hard to believe but it's 100% true: I've mentioned my "Five Year Plan' many times here on GFY and now we are approaching the end of it so it's time for Phase II. :)

(Much of the above will be restated in the Announcement To Affiliates coming soon but there's a sneek peak. LOL)

I have always been 'unusual' in that I am NOT the norm (whatever that is) so my Goals have always been...unique. Are they 'smart'? LOL Who the fuck knows but I'm happy so it's all good, right? :)
