Webmasters & their age. - GoFuckYourself.com

polish_aristocrat · 05-11-2004, 12:43 PM

In this business you don't need an MBA to be succesfull and respected.
Often you can do the same things, regardless if you are 20 or 40.
Age does not bring you respect, unless you are succesfull.
And many people who are quite young are extremely succesfull ( f.e GTS ).
But i wonder if you find yourself sometimes not trusting people only because of their young age.
I mean people who are 19-21.
Does it make any difference for you f.e if you are considering to heavily promote a new affiliate program, when you know the owner is only 20, because of the stereotype: young = irresponsible = > untrustworthy....

what is your opinion on this?

Juicy D. Links · 05-11-2004, 12:44 PM

i trust people with higher post counts more

Age and cunning shits all over youth and skill.

DreamCumTrue · 05-11-2004, 12:45 PM

Im going to be 24, I have never had my age come up as an issue with business.

age isnt that important as long as maturity and common sense prevails. Its whoever I can learn from.

Im young, and I havent had any problems because of my age that I know of.

Yes, but 24 is more than 19-20.

I would have to say it depends on their experience within this industry and not their age. I would trust doing business with a 19 year old so long as he's been around at least a year or so for example.

I've found that the best way to overcome your age as an issue is to be very well read on whatever business issue is at hand and have the versatility to branch off into other issues. I look like I'm in my late teens though I'm 26 so I usually spend the first few minutes of any new business conversation showing my know how on the subject at hand.

hehe, i also look very young

but i was talking not about people who look young ( since you can only see that in the real world ), but who are actually very young but want to make some big deals, or own serious businesses. I was wondering if some people think twice between doing business with them, because they admitted that they are so young.

sumphatpimp · 05-11-2004, 01:29 PM

so i'll crack up the posting bot, run up the post count , then it will be easier to scam you.

thats good info to have.

thanks.

I never have as long as they know what they're talking about. I feel more comfortable doing business with people my own age then old "been doing business for 20 years" fucks who think their seniority is reason enough to risk money on them.

I trust people who treat this like a business. Too many kids on here treat this industry as a means to an end, and the end is getting wasted, partying, and blowing all their income.

Thats true. It seems like its more maturity level then age that seperates adult webmasters. There seems to be the quiet webmasters with a wife and multiple kids and a nice new big house by the ocean and then the webmasters who love to go out and party, flaunt their profession, get loaded drunk and then do it all again tomorrow. Theres people from all age groups in each category, so age isnt a good determining factor.
I still havent decided which category Im in yet

JSA Matt · 05-12-2004, 10:02 AM

I've been doing this for 5 years, i'm 21 now and have no plans to turn back. Hate us if you want but we will be here for a long, long, long time

so you started as underage

newsdude · 05-13-2004, 03:31 AM

Age is nothing!

polish_aristocrat · 05-13-2004, 03:33 AM

Well, maybe the reason i started this is that i have grown up in Poland.
In the US you get the first job when you are 12, in Poland often 24.

That is why people who are 20 are often perceived as kids, since they usually have no experience and are therefore not responsible enough.
That changes though

NickB. · 05-13-2004, 03:51 AM

I started in this business when I was 16-17 years old, now it's more than 5 years later

Poontang Pimp · 02-13-2005, 06:33 AM

All most all of deals Ive done online, If other webmasters didnt view my age in the forums or asked, Most have said I act 30+. I always ask cause I wonder the same thing some time. Btw...Im only 22.

tungsten · 02-13-2005, 06:33 AM

i dont look at the age, i look at the skill, i have found younger webmasters to be more creative (programmers/designers etc) just from personal experience

Corleone · 02-13-2005, 06:35 AM

I don't care about the age

Dalai lama · 02-13-2005, 06:36 AM

mardigras · 02-13-2005, 11:24 AM

I don't know the age of the owners of most programs I promote. I look soley at the presentation of the program and do look for input from the boards. I'd take a well written program by a 23 year old with good grammar skills over a 40 year old who's convinced they are all that on the cutting edge of marketing talking about bling-blinging, pimping and all the other wannabe talk anytime. Stupid people are generally stupid for a lifetime. Age is just a number

hydro · 02-13-2005, 12:15 PM

Age never really has been a problem with me, i started mailing back when i was 13 and most sponsors of course didnt care. At 14 i opend up my penis pill program and my affiiliates didnt care as long as the money kept coming in. Of course at that time the everything was in my dad's name but oh well. I do notice that old people tend to "stick together" more than young people though.
