So you have what it takes? - GoFuckYourself.com

AaronM · 10-30-2003, 06:01 PM

Dedication, Talent, Funding, Thick Skin, Business Sense, Respect...for yourself and others, etc etc etc......

This business is FULL of cutthroats. These days, only the strong survive.

Every day I see a new bunch of newbies wander into the scene. Most of them don't have a fucking clue and would not know where to get one or what to do with it if it were sitting in their mailbox.

I read the threads where people are trying to find a way around the system and in doing so, they make things worse for the rest of us.

Visa: The fees suck. So fucking what? Take your broke ass to the mainstream job market or pay the fucking fees and STFU.

Acacia: WTF do you really know about these people? For most of you, not a God Damn thing. Yet you all have something to say about it.

Affiliate Programs: "So and so did not pay me." 99.9% of the time it's because YOU fucked up. Not the program owners. Follow the T.O.S. and you will get paid.

Hosting: You get what you pay for you cheap bastard.

Content: Don't even get me started about this one.

What's the bottom line?

Pull your head out of your ass. Conduct business THE RIGHT WAY. Don't fuck people over. Remember who helped you get what you got. Develop strong relationships that are beneficial to BOTH parties. Be original. Be yourself, Don't be Luc Lonely.

You WILL get kicked in the teeth, You Will get fucked over and if you do things right, You will come out on top.

My name is AaronM, and I am running for President of GFY!

StuartD · 10-30-2003, 06:13 PM

Oddly enough, you make me feel like I should quit... and like a true GFY'er, I won't anyway.

However, I will vote for you as Pres of GFY.

booker · 10-30-2003, 06:13 PM

cheers Aaron

..you touch tangentally on a point that I feel very strongly about, and that is maintaining the legitimacy of the industry as a whole.

When individuals decide to cheat, undermine, break the laws or otherwise detract from the legitimacy of the group, something that guys who have been around since the early-mid 90s worked so hard to establish, it makes everyone's job harder.

Just as in any service industry, the needs of the customer take precedence over the comfort of the provider. Treating customers and colleagues with the same honest and ethical business practice you would expect in any other enterprize is a vital component to individual success.

Reap what you sow.

Aaron M for President!!

Aaron, can I copy/paste that to that 'other' board (NW)? Sometimes those little whiners really get on my tits and that post would shut them up for a while.

Have at it. Not sure what other board you mean though. Feel free to say it, just don't post a link.

baddog · 10-30-2003, 06:18 PM

oh, I think I skipped a step . . . . .where do I go to get kicked in the teeth?

hyatla · 10-30-2003, 06:22 PM

One thing I admire Aaron a lot is his sharp mind.

Aaron for president.

For some weird reasons, I sometimes post as a straight guy, sometimes gay, sometimes bi. He is the first one to expose me, as a totally ignorable newbie, out of the closet.

I myself even couldn't remember who is who on this board till now.

Aaron for president. My sig space is donated to his campaign.

Just put this banner in your sig for now. Just don't link hotten it like I did.

It's ok, I'm not really planning on it any time soon. What would I do if I did? flip burgers?

You allowed your sponsor to yell at you?

Go back to the top of this thread and re-read the part about self respect.
