1. Do everyday people on the street confuse you with Ricky Martin?
2. Does your wife like her toes sucked?
3. What did you do for work before Twisties?
4. After your Manwin buyout, and spending a year traveling, where did you like the most?

I thought that was Thomas Pynchon.

Serious question for an industry veteran: If my site (see sig) were yours, what would you change/add/remove to improve upon it?

***you did say site feedback***

Good question. I don't know. 2 years ago I would have said probably not. But now I'd say it's a maybe. If the right challenge and opportunity came up I'd consider it.

I only ever actually spoke to Fabian once (the day before our deal closed). I have been in communication with him since he left Manwin.

Shap

I'm not planning anything at the moment. I invested in a few startups last year and don't really like that process. If I'm going to invest my money in something I'd like to be involved so I can help the company make money.

Shap

All the time. BLING BLING

Hey Amar! How's it going?

Hmm Future of tubes in relation to paysites. Do you mean in terms of them selling to paysites? or hurting paysites?

Wizzo

Would you take the position of CEO of Mindgeek if they offered it to you and why?

Shap

I wish I could help you. I haven't bought ad space in 3 years so any information I'd have probably wouldn't serve you well.

Just so I understand your situation. You've decided to give the industry a try and have a whitelabel to a cam site set up. You have nothing else in place. Just that right?

Is your domain decent? Ie does it get any type ins on its own? Could it get type ins/following if the site on it were solid?

I've always liked having some value in the equation. So if you own domain 12213sadad8asd.com and you have a Live Jasmin white label and you are buying traffic trying to make money I feel you have a very short life span in the industry and most likely will lose money. On the other hand if you have the domain BigTitCams.com and you are doing the same thing you could have a much better long term outlook.

The key thing is not to think/worry about getting sales but instead building up traffic. If you can build a traffic base on your domain then you are creating some potential long term value.

If you are thinking about trying to make a quick buck then you are in the wrong place and wrong year imo.

Shap

Damn I bet I have it somewhere on one of my old hard drives. I have to look for it. I bet DH has it.

Follow up question:


when is the non compete i presume over... assuming there was one

Juicy D. Links

What do you use to moisturize?

Rebel D

there was one all done up i need to search gfy better

Shap

Hmm interesting question. I know it would never be offered but it's still an interesting question.

There are a few major negatives that would weigh heavily against it.
1. It's a high profile position. I'm not a high profile guy (ie interviews, publicity etc). I'm not interested in having my name plastered in newspapers.
2. 100s of employees would be one hell of an operation to take over. I don't have much experience in that.
3. I'd have to get fully up to speed with company history, ownership structure and potential legal land mines. I'm in a far too comfy situation to walk into a time bomb.

That said I know their core businesses quite well and know I could crush it with them and that part would be fun

Shap

Yes we posted it here didn't we? I bet it's on JFKs site

Shap

lol nothing

No way

Do you think you could create the same site and have the same success if you started all over today?

mavruda

Interesting. Would you like to hear my idea - obviously I will need like years before I start making serious money with what I do - I can see opportunity within the joke - how can I get in touch with you so I can share my idea and to get your feedback ?

fuzebox

Bucket list of places to visit?

Atticus

Do you have children? For some reason I assume you do. How did you handle your year of travel with them? School wise? Would you recommend it?

Shap

If I understand your question correctly..
Could I start Twistys today and enjoy the same success I had? The answer is absolutely not. There were two major parts to my success.

#1 was my traffic network at the time was large and quite valuable. I sent large amount of signups to a number of sponsors. Using that traffic to start my own paysite was a huge advantage and great way to test tours and retention without spending money and without damaging my brand with affiliates.

#2 affiliates played a huge role in our growth. I worked very hard to have great relationships with my affiliates. Many of them are still friends of mine and when I see them post on facebook I think of them by their affiliate id ie tcranks instead of by name

The internet has changed a lot. Starting a new site would be very hard to do and would cost quite a bit of money imo. The timing was so perfect that it would be hard to be as successful starting today.

TheStout

After travelling for a year (not sure if this is true but someone mentioned it earlier) I have a few travel questions;

1. Did you get bored after a certain amount of time? If so how long did it take?
2. How long did you stay at each place? What did you find to be the perfect stop over in a city you liked?
3. Did you work during your travels at all?
4. Did you travel solo? If not (assuming SO) did you two ever split up for any of the travel?
5. Favourite country overall?
6. Would you do it again or was it too much?

Thanks and sorry for the multiple questions.

Shap

Yes two boys 2 and 5. One of them is in school but we have so many half terms here it wasn't hard. We've never traveled non stop for a year. We go on one trip at a time from 1 to 3 weeks then come home. It's always nice to reset and get home and start eating better and start working out again

One thing I would recommend if you like traveling then travel before your kids are going to school. I really wish I had traveled more when they were younger. It's a little bit of a pain in the ass to be traveling at higher prices and busier times because everybody is taking trips at the same time.
