Gotta love anonymous posters stirring up shit!!
However, I know Bill takes no prisoners when it comes to these issues. Matt |
Heyyyy!! Bump for a great interview! :) Good luck with it, Matt; I've always thought RevShareHosting was a great concept. I've made some use of it in the past and hope to do so even more in the very near future.

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words!
And now back to the questions.... 8. You actually worked for ACME? discuss I was a huge fan of the Road Runner cartoons when I was a kid and I find it so ironic that I went to work for a company called Acme Business Products after college. I actually looked up what Acme meant so I could know why I worked for the same company that tried so hard to help the Coyote! Acme actually means pinnacle, which was a pretty cool name for a business products company. Nonetheless all my friends gave me shit for working for Acme, of all companies!! At Acme Business Products, I sold photo copiers. There is no better training in the world of hard core sales work, than the selling of business products! I can assure you of that! Sales was my first carrier out of college and selling copiers was life at Acme. Of course, I have never stopped selling. From selling judges and juries as a lawyer to selling hosting services now. Selling is what I do and have always done. However, I am not your typical sales person-no high stress or pressure, I sell through building relationships-a skill I really mastered by watching Tony Morgan. Matt |

JFK does an awesome job at the shows. He's probably the hardest working guy at the show since he is at every seminar, every dinner, every party, and back on the show floor early in the morning. He's like a historian also and its great to be able to see pics and relive old times. Great work JFK and thanks for posting these pics! Matt |

Hi Matt
interesting interview & answers Best of luck with Revsharehosting! :thumbsup |
9. Discuss you educational background. Where, when, grades, etc.
It?s all just a haze right now? I went to high school at North Clayton High School in the blue collar part of Atlanta. Even though I was a huge football fan, my high school won three football games in the time I was there! I managed to graduate with a 3.3 GPA and a full intention of going to college at a place where there was a decent football team and UGA was calling out to me! I went to the University of Georgia back when it was one of Playboy?s top ten party schools and I did my best to help maintain that image. I pledge Sigma Pi Fraternity and lived all four years in the frat house. We were the true animal house, partying every day of the week. In fact, our house got shut down and demolished a year after my graduation! While at Georgia, I majored in Business Administration with a Marketing degree and had a 3.3 GPA ?I was ready to make a fortune in outside sales. Well, five years into the sales career, I was ready to be an entrepreneur (the first time), and after looking at all the ways I could possibly make my mark on the world, I decided to go to law school. Unfortunately, I had not made enough money to go to law school full time, so I had to work my way through school. You aint? done nothing until you?ve done a full time job and been a full time night student! That will build character! I did manage to graduate after three years of year round school (4 full load quarters a year) and again, I had a 3.3 (story of my life). I left law school, quit my job and opened my law practice. Matt |
10. Why haven't you ever moved from Atlanta?
Good question and I ask myself that on occasion! After college, Atlanta is where you went to get a job since Georgia graduates were recruited for Atlanta jobs. Then I opened my law practice in Atlanta because I knew the local area and had a base of business to start with. Then I went to work for Tony who was based in Atlanta, so couldn?t move then. Now, I work for myself and for the first time, I feel like I can truly work from anywhere. This past summer I was at home for only ½ of the summer and I have enjoyed working on the road quite a bit. Who knows, maybe I will move somewhere in the next couple of years as I am exploring the idea of moving-but its got to be warm weather, but still have seasons. However, friends and family are in Atlanta and Atlanta is home! Matt |

This is a regular paid hosting account except WITHOUT a bill. Let us know what we can do to help you ....save and make $ :thumbsup |
Matt's Cool in my book.
THis is going to be a great read. Wow sleazy enough questions? |
11. Discuss what the fuck Revshare hosting is and how it works?
Ahhhh, time for the commercial announcement hahaha61514; There seems to be a lot of confusion about RevShare Hosting. Some people think we are a free host. Let me be clear? We are NOT a free host!! So what are we? Like our name suggests, we make our money through sharing revenue with webmasters. We only get paid if our customers make sales for which we make a small commission. The customer generally gets between 80 and 100% of the normal payout hence the name ?RevShare?. Our customers are tired of getting a Hun listing and then getting killed on their bandwidth bills because of those three days of bandwidth. Our volume buying allows us to make money one sale at a time and we are now one of the larger bandwidth users in the hosting industry. With RevShare Hosting, there are no bandwidth bills and no server fees, we provide all the services a paid host would provide except we have a different payment model. Our customers are not affiliate programs but affiliates themselves, thus we are talking about people who make: *TGP/MGP galleries *free sites *review sites *blogs *link lists *any other legal site promoting our approved adult sponsors So how do you join RevShare Hosting? I?m glad you asked, its 5 easy steps: 1. Sign up (www.revsharehosting.com); 2. Choose at least one primary sponsor to promote; 3. Add a domain (or use one that we provide exclusively for your use); 4. Build and ftp your site; 5. Cash checks! Anyone can do this! Since we don?t do any of the BS that all the free hosts do (banners, stealing 404 traffic, etc.), there is no reason for any webmaster to use a paid host. I am more than happy to be THE host for webmasters promoting sponsor programs big or small. Speaking of small sponsor programs, we now support any CCBill Affiliate Program in our system thus giving our webmasters hundreds of programs to choose from. The best benefit of all is I love my customers and I am always available via phone, email or ICQ! There is NO reason to host anywhere else if you are a webmaster! How is THAT for a commercial announcement?? Pretty damn good in my book! Matt |
Lets get jiggy with it

100 ??? :)

You beat woj!!

12. Talk about digipawn.
DigiPawn is a business that just plain rocks! Wait till you hear how this works!! DigiPawn (www.digipawn.com) is the joint venture between Rick Latona and myself and is frankly a business I am very passionate about. Rick and I had been looking for a way to do business for the last two years. Since we were such good friends and our strengths seemed to complement each other?s weaknesses, we were a natural combination. Since Rick is such an awesome idea-man, it?s not surprising that he originated the DigiPawn concept. Rick approached me about doing DigiPawn almost a year before we actually did it. Frankly, the idea of opening a pawn shop for domain owners seemed pretty crazy. However, the more we chewed on the idea and worked on the details, the more we both came to believe that there was a real market out there. The central question was, who would use DigiPawn? Here is the answer we came up with: *People in legal trouble *People in family trouble *people who need short term capital *People who are domain speculators and need cash often but can pay the money back quickly by flipping the domain. *Anyone who needs money and owns valuable domains. An interesting idea struck us as we worked through this?most people who own valuable domains are young, with little credit. With the exception of Rick Schwartz and other Big Guns of the domain business, most domain owners have one or two valuable domains and a bunch of worthless domains. These guys have no chance of borrowing money at the bank, but they may need cash in a hurry for any one of the above reasons. Now, this is a pawnshop, so we take possession of the domain, while the customer keeps DNS and all operation of any websites or business associated with the domain. We take this possession through our official registrar Moniker (Monte and Chipmonk are great guys to deal with! www.moniker.com). We then advance money to the customer for a one month period. This advance is renewable by the payment of the finance charge and can be extended forever. Remember, this is a 30 day deal and the finance charge is 15%....per month?which is why I love this business hahaha61514; Rick and I have funded all operations out of our pocket and we have capital standing by ready to make more deals. Go to www.DigiPawn.com and check us out now!! Matt |
13. Ever spit in the tacos at taco bell?
Nope. And to this day I still love Taco Bell and Mexican food in general! I gotta meeting to run to, but I will be back for some more Q & A later :-) Matt |
mmmm taco bell
|
what about: 14. What is G&K - the Tony connection??
|
matt will back - no worries
|
Awesome Interview so far... Oh and look at my SIG!!!
It's all about Matt ;-) |
I am back to work and will continue this interrogatories (dropping a good legal term in there!)
Matt |
I am still writing the answer to the Tony connection question...very complicated...sorry for the delay.
Matt |
heh hope digipawn doesnt fail like cjbucks, and dollars, i remember rick ranting about dollars forever. yet he couldnt explain it in detail in person.
|
14. What is G&K - the Tony connection?
The Tony connection?. In the early 1990?s, the one thing Tony and I had in common is that we both worked for industrial laundry companies. Tony was the general manage of the Atlanta operations of a Fortune 500 industrial laundry company (to see Tony?s full Ambush Interview, check it out here: http://www.ambushinterview.com/58/interview58.html). I was a sales manage of a company called G&K Services. After I left Acme, I went to work for G&K to sell uniform services to industrial operations. Think of any industrial plant or service facility and the uniforms that they wear and you have the idea of what I sold. Tony worked for a competing company. G&K was very good to me. They knew that I was in law school trying to better myself. Of course, they could have fired me on the spot, but they supported me (I guess even then, I was pretty good at managing a book of business!). When I left G&K, it was to form my law firm. Tony needed a lawyer and somehow ended up with a referral to me. The reason he choose me is that I had been in the same industry as him! I knew everything there was to know about the industrial laundry business. I took on Tony?s company as my client in early 1994 and handled a variety of legal matters for his company until he retired to enter this business on a full time basis. I always liked to say that I was on Tony?s team before Teiko!! Anyway, that is how Tony and I originally hooked a long time ago. Matt |
your interviews are always interesting
|
SleazyDream.....I hate that I was away from my email this week and unable to be a part of the questions....I have a few that I think would be really fun to hear Matt squirm....oh, I mean answer hehehe....but it looks like your other sources have come up with some gems, as well.
Hell, there are a few of these that *I* am waiting to hear the answer to....I probably know more about Matt that anyone in this biz and I still wonder where the Taco Bell reference came from.....but based on what I know about these interviews, there is a story there somewhere.....Sleazy just does not pick this shit out of thin air :) As for Matt, I could say all of the same kiss ass things that everyone else has said and I know him better than anyone else in the biz....but let me say that for years Matt was my vendor, my employee, my right hand, my confidant...but most of all he has been my friend. With Matt's leadership and vision, I expect to see RSH continue to grow and blossom into a powerhouse in this arena. Good Luck, Matt....these questions dont get any easier, buddy. :) --T |

Obviously I cannot comment on Rick's other ventures. However, I can say that my venture with Rick is doing very well. I am very careful of what I do before I do it and DigiPawn is doing very well so far. I have never had a "hater" before...this is sort of neat. However, do you have to post as an anonymous poster? Hit me straightup! Matt |
Thank you Tony, your words mean a lot to me!!
I owe you so much that I will never repay! Of course NationalNet totally ROCKS and I will recommend you to anyone who needs hosting! Matt |
Bump for the evening crew
|
Great Interview!
|
nice work... great info :)
