At what point do you feel you've 'made it' in this biz? - GoFuckYourself.com

A tgp with 500k daily visitors?

A cash program doing 1000/joins per day?

Getting your cock sucked from an industry groupie just because you work for a large program?

Discuss ....

When you've reached the point where a steady income allows you to live comfortably.

When you reach the point that it is no longer worth your time to pay attention to the message boards.

I prefer to think of "making it" as being recognized by industry peers as a professional in your line of expertise. Financials aren't the deciding factor if you ask me....

I'm not addressing anything that happened between them. I'm just saying that perceptions of someone in this business doesn't mean that they've 'made it'.

zanycash Pete · 07-19-2004, 01:28 PM

When you don't need to work anymore! but continue to do so beacuse it's fun, and it beats sitting at home all day beating off and watching porn! O Wait! I do that anyway!

Alright, since you brought it up. Was he recognized by a majority of industry peers as a professional at what he did? My perception of him was yes, I know that was a bad assumption now, but did the majority of people out there agree with this assessment is a different story...

All you need to do is register a domain name (most sponsors don't like free hosted shit) and put up some banners. The more banners the better, that way you make more money.

Didn't mean any disrespect bro. I'm just wanted to emphasize that fact that I think too many people put value in perceived fortune rather than actual.

As soon as Yahoo! TGP comes out.

It might be true of all business today in our fast paced society but no one has "made it" in that if they did not go to work tomorrow it just keeps pouring in. Someone pointed to Marc De in another thread. His program is one tenth the size it was one year ago. You think he is happy now? Lensman has made it, and he just redid all of his sites and went reality. This business is very tough to just coast. I think Sleazy has one of the best models in that he does not kill himself everyday for it to keep going.

Happier, yes. When you start to judge a signup on profitability and not just on how many you can jam through in a day, it makes huge changes to how you view your business.

Personally, I think it's when you really don't care much about "making it" in this business that you've arrived.

When I have my cock sucked by a groupie!!!

Perception means jack all to me.

I'm after the money. I don't care if Joe Blow and Lucy Lou think I'm the best.

No disrespect taken... I just can't talk about him in public on advise of my lawyer, so please don't bring it up again

Marc is probably one of the happiest guys in net porn this year

Haha, that's good point.
I know myself and I know that I always want more.
First of all I wanted 1k visitors (I'm running a E/N - adult entertainment page), than I wanted 5k -> 10k -> 20k ...
Now I have 26k daily visitors (66k peak) and I still want more. But now I noticed that I want MONEY and not visitors (my traffic doesn't convert very well with the normal affiliate programs) - So now I'm building a porn-only page and want money. 1k / month (that's roughly what I'm making now) -> 5k / month is my target for the next 2 months. But IF I'll make that goal I know that I want 10k / month, and so on and so on....that's life.

There's obviously a reason industry peers would respect these people, money and talent go hand-in-hand.

I do not know him and was not trying to pick. But with a 50 car garage, I am guessing "small and efficient" is not his mantra.

I guess my take is you can never "make it". Bill Gates did but the rest of us are posers.
