- Cursing when someone said to google, instead of googling.
- Posting a new thread like this instead of searching. (Wasn't this question asked 3 weeks ago? 6 weeks ago? 10 weeks ago? Over 80 times within the last year? Over 2000 times in the last 2 years?)
- Thinking I know more than anyone else.
- Not being aggressive.
- Learning to masturbate.
- Not learning to stop masturbating.
- Looking at Stats Remote and falling into a trance waiting for the next Cha-Ching.
- Obeying my girlfriend and succumbing to her requests to get out of the porn industry.
- Using a shitty host and seeing the numbers in Stats Remote come to a screaching halt.
- Lying on my taxes. (oops make that a plus - Cha-Ching)

Seriously?
Listening to other people, whether on ICQ, E-mail, Phone, or message boards, and then acting or not acting on what was said without out enough forethought.
:2 cents:

Especially in regards to GFY!
:1orglaugh


Sapere aude!

There is no money in porn.

Selling my content company to a close friend of 10 years [Zmaster] and never getting paid for it. Sued her and she sold off company right out from under lawsuit and then went financially bust.....so 40K in lawsuit was a waste cuz she had nothing and it took 4 years to hone' in on her for NADA.

My lesson learned was do not get business relaxed with friends.

:thumbsup

Using click thru's instead of my own paysites. Correcting that now.

Paying 50% up front to someone off of GFY for programming work.

-*- Paying upfront for anything :)

I know...Lightspeed recently proved it.

:winkwink:

yeh that's the biggest!

making my first million, i will always regret that
it made me insane :321GFY

My biggest mistake , was not making more mistakes!
Sometimes it's easy to get comfortable, and not trial and error more.

My biggest mistake was spending my start up production money on stupid stuff that I could of done without.

-*- Bump out of the pit.

Ok here goes...

Buying a dedicated server when we had no traffic at all ! :)

Hotlinking pictures and even amazon.com !

Trusting Hungryman and others to produce work actually on time!

When started to get successful buying dedicated hosting off likewhoa hosting (what fun)...

Using PSW as a processor...

PAYING UP FRONT for things and especially trusting programmers who are the scum of the earth when it comes to producing stuff on time!!!

good things....

GFY - getting shit off all the GFYERS especially soul rebel and equinox, i do attribute a large percentage of my success to GFY and these guys as well..

MPA2 - allowed me to realise my networks potential..

Contacts made in the industry, lessons learnt from mistakes etc!

Clicking back again on this thread... I'm a idiot:Grrrrrr

Paying somebody upfront for what he never delivered. Still in the process of charging back through paypal and my creditcard company :(

I don't make mistakes

Looking back I cant say I made any significant mistakes, except from sending traffic to some crappy sponsors that converted like shit for too long period of time.

AMEN!

I just wasted several months and several hundred dollars on a programmer who claimed he was fast and an expert php programmer. Turned out he was slow as hell, was working on other projects while mine wasn't yet completed, and wasn't able or willing to do the job the way I wanted it done.

I ended up with a script that is basically useless to me and that I'm going to have to pay someone else to fix and finish.

I also got burned by choosing the wrong host for the project this script was going to be used for. I selected one of the better known hosts on this board and it was one problem after another from day one. Each time I wanted to cancel and move on they would basically beg me to stay with promises of how everything would be fixed... after three months and the server still wasn't working right, I said enough is enough and left for good. Then they had the balls to imply that it was my fault that the server they set up was a lemon and that their techs couldn't get it working right.

Lessons learned and mistakes that won't be made again... :321GFY

Taking Melinda from MelindaTeen for granted... just being cocky and thinking I'll have her forever. Also, not cranking out more single girl sites :2 cents:

Not getting into the content game 5 years earlier than I did.

7 years ago used to drive to see a guy in Pasedena and sell him 100s of slides at $3, $5 and $10 each. Thought it was small beer.

Had tried to do a paysite of my own which failed and just did not see the potential of the stock I had in pictures. If only I had known then what I know now. :(

But making up for lost time. :)

Yup. that's the one.
we're not like that any more.

Trust wrong people and everything go from that.
Giving people "a second chance".
Underestimate people lazyness.
Underestimate people absent of common sence.

So all our biggest mistakes are related to people. Probably people are the biggest mistake themselve :)

I remember when I first started when click throughs 20-25 cents per unique and I didn't read there rules and lost out on a couple k...though learned my first lesson and a hard one read everything lol

wow :thumbsup

Starting a TGP. No, more than one. :helpme

being a fucking idiot and telling everyone my great ideas.. and the next week seeing my idea. So from now on Im just going to post all my great ideas on GFY so at least that way Ill get some fucking credit for having had them. ROFC= rolling on the floor crying until some big company realizes I am a creative genious and hires me

Preach on! Two of my ideas were snatched by someone with more $ than me and turned into amazingly profitable businesses. If I'd been born rich...dear lord, I'd be so fucking much richer today.

biggest mistake was that i found this board. why am i here?

:thumbsup

Far too easy to get comfortable and lazy when something is working and working well - that is until it stops working. :(

I spent 3 years with free sites, tgp, avs instead of offering design from the beginning.

waiting so long to get into the biz

All the free porn.
Lets go back to the circle jerking :)

I didnt blow him and now I think im screwed.:(

Just to believe in some partnership and investments by a swizz company which has cost me about 300.000?
