Right now your money goes very far but it is booming fast.

great place to live

lots of cute boys in tampa... not that youd care roger :)

i fly in about once a month, then drive down to ft myers to see a couple of special people. next time im heading that way ill give u a holler

come on now. i've got over 2M (liquid cash alone, not including any investments), and i'm a nobody. I'd think there are at least 25 guys with over 5M in the bank. easy. probably more.

could be wrong though.

sounds good anytime.

lol... when do the tutorials begin roger?

No your sitting very pretty:thumbsup

I wouldn't say you're a nobody, you're probably one of the larger webmasters with tons of recurrings. I tend to agree with Roger though, other than the major affiliate program owners and some really large paysites, I would say there's about 10 or so in the 5MM+ range. Hell I'm still working my ass off to make the 1MM mark. Granted I just started doing this full time about 1 year ago.

WG

hey quiet, this is slightly off topic... but.... i understand your basic business model, i think most of us do, but when you started out, did you jump in with $x & do what you do now, or did you build up from nothing like most webmasters? just curious, no big deal if u dont wanna answer. :glugglug

i started with fuck all :glugglug

fucking kickass :glugglug :thumbsup

Quiet, 100% of your traffic comes from advertising?

i'd like to believe that, but i have trouble doing so.

Congrats, its the best feeling in the world ain't it, building your empire from scratch.

WG

hey Jer you know any photographers in brazil that can shoot brazillian twinks ? lol

i love this thread... one topic to another... sorry :Graucho

At least you're getting a booty call, Rog....my woman is in Boston for a few days....so I'm awake wasting time here.... :thumbsup

aww. want me to come over with some twinks & give you some lovin? lol :helpme

there is a reason why Traffic cash gold had a party for only 25 webmasters. :winkwink:

If you ask me there might only be 20 guys who can send some sales. or who are big whales.

the guys who have 5 mill cashed out already.

when a company cashes out they don't pay webmasters etc.
so its all profit. without going into detail

No, but I know someone who might have some contacts

Good point. And we both saw the crowd there, there was maybe what, 6-8 webmasters, the rest were all the other big affiliate programs... and times are changing so we gotta see how this all plays out.

WG

Quiet you have a differant model then sponsors.

for instants and I'm not bragging if I were to cash out now.
and stop puting money back into the company and not payout webmasters in less then a year I would have 10 mill in an acount no prob.

Do you know what I mean. But there is only a few who can do it cause most big guys already did one example babenet.

sometimes when a company goes out of business its not because they fucked up it's becasue they cashed out.

so, roger, ill just fly down to tampa & be your slave/apprentice.

lol :thumbsup

i understand the different biz models (in general). i understand mine the most of course :)

even for myself, there is no easy way out. i have to sell to get out, since i if i let sales drop, my cb ratio will get fucked up.

the difference is, i have millions net right now. i haven't scammed anyone, and i never will. even if i wanted to, there is really no one to scam, at least for any significant amount of cash.

i'm sure i'm not remotely in the same league as you, or anyone like you. i do well though, and i seem to only do better.

:glugglug

:Oh crap

We should talk sometime I know we have said it before just never get around to it.

From what you say you are doing great and are in the top 20

Maybe we can both educate each other. I would like to understand your model better maybe I can help.
we are way under 1%

diddo
:glugglug

IMHO, it's because you don't like enough things in life.

I mean, I would go buy a Kart/F3000, race a few time a weeks, play computer gamers as a professional (traveling and trying to win prizes), open a bar, read books, write stuff, think, motorcycle, traveling, buy a boat, whatever man... bottom line is that Golf is just plain booooring :glugglug

i was just talking out my ass everyone who does this full time is a player.

when i reach 500 post here i will retire from gfy

:GFYBand

He is 100% correct but based upon the time frame the statement was made, 100 mil minimum nowadays.

1mil isn't shit, once you get there you realize it isn't enough to retire on (living large).

10mil is nice, but again, you are in the minor leagues of millionaire status. You can impress your childhood friends, but you are not a big player.

I have hung out with the $100 mil to the $1 billion crowd (for those of you who watch HSN - hint) and when you have your own jets, yachts, houses worldwide, and 100 people+ on payroll that you have never met you have reached player status. These are the people who pull down millions a year just in interest.

And on the utter bullshit meter I give this thread a 10:thumbsup

Quiet,

2 mil in cash is not doing much for you. You should buy more real estate.
Trying to do that myself as interest rates just suck shit right now.

quiet - does this mean you won't be retiring this month?

I would say 20 is close. $5million net worth is not much. Amazing how anytime $ comes up, Diamond Jim is telling us how poor he is;-) I almost feel sorry for the poor guy!

Roger, many of us "could" do the same thing, EXCEPT. CB issues, we need new transactions. Also, hard to have traffic coming in, if you are not outlaying any cash. I think the key is to find a good balance of taking $ out of the company, while still procuring your business long term.

I agree for the most part.

But there are ways to get around the CB issues and ride it out till the well runs dry

you should post more often :)

what was RB in People magazine for?

that's kind of a stupid question, especially since my sources tell me nobody in our industry does 10 million per month on their affiliate program for membership sites....
