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?
