When exactly did this thread go from being about 12clicks telling kids not to complain to a full-scale bro-argument-orgy?

And more to the point, how shit am I if my sig, in prime place of post #2, still hasn't generated me any money? :helpme

WTF??
Ron, we do business together and you've never bought me a drink at a show...wait...do I write the testimonial before or after said drink?

bah, fuck it, with the business we do together, we can afford our own drinks at APM...

Here's a little clue about respect, son. I'm not looking for respect from your kind. show up at an industry event where we business people meet and explain to me about this respect thing you think I'm so aware of:1orglaugh

haha, see... exactly what I was talking about. You have no idea who I am or what I do, yet you assume I'm some guy living in his mom's basement? Your lame ass program would love to have an affiliate that does half as many sales as I do. If you've been doing online adult for 10 years then I've been in this "business" for just as long as you. I've never been to an industry event, why would I? I work online. When I go on vacation a bunch of webmasters are the last people I want to hang around with (no offense to most of you, some webmasters are normal people... but there's a bunch of fucking weirdos in this line of work too).

Only in this industry could someone make a comment about acting seriously to be taken seriously and have a banner of a guy shitting gold coins right below it.

I fuckin' love it. :thumbsup

Dude, I was going to ask you for a testimonial but I thought you'd end up gaying it up with that naked pic of you in the shower that shows up every time your name is mentioned.

well sure, that pic always has to accompany testimonials...it's not that the pic itself is gay...just that it makes straight men question their sexuality ;-)

Yup, got it and looked it over and everything looks good to go :)

Should be announcing it soon to our webmasters. It's a damn good looking tour. Great job, man :)

As I told you when we started talking about this, if all goes smooth, you can expect more from me, I needed to feel out the process and the requirements.

I can't launch tours through Pimproll anylonger (seems they stopped the byot thing), so you will have my attention :) I definitely plan on more tours with you, cheers.

How many millions do you make in thsi business on the anual basis?

I know 12 clicks is semi broke, he barely makes 1.2 a year nowadays. Do you beat him and by how much?

Snake Doctor 01-28-2008 01:20 PM

I learned a long time ago not to argue with 12clicks.

He drags you down to his level, and then beats you with experience.

Shows how little you know about this biz. I would say the MAJORITY of people making real money have never attended an adult show.

The glaring proof of your non success with your program is that you think being a sig whore on GFY will somehow make your proggie a success. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Take your 5000 uniques a day and start a blog why dont u. :1orglaugh

Hey 12clicks backing yourself up with your alter sig ego does not make your right.

Trust me, nocomments isn't his alter sig ego - nor is he backing him up :winkwink:

notoldschool 01-28-2008 03:12 PM

I must not have caught the sarcasm in his post. I really should pay more attention. ;)

NoComments 01-28-2008 03:28 PM

Backing, shmacking,
I just post the numbers.

When somebody who claims to make "real money in the business" barks on somebody who grosses roughly $100,000 a month,
I am curious about what barker calls as "real money".

Peaches, I was skeptical about 12 clicks progyy's success until I peeked at his numbers (no, he has no clue where and how, he didn't give them to me)

From where I sit, $100,000 a month in today's environment is not that chubby. Am I wrong?

DirtyProfits 01-28-2008 03:33 PM

What about interest rates? Every day you keep money you receive a % in interest rates and make money of other people's money.

For someone who's in the biz as long as Ron and Robert have and having the program up at least a year, especially as hard as Ron's been working it, I'd honestly say $100K gross isn't that much to brag about and I really hope they are grossing more than that. I know affiliates who gross more than that. Heck, even Colin stated he'd received a 6 figure check from The 12. That's why I said you weren't really backing him with those numbers. :winkwink:

Just being honest. And remember, I've HAVE seen affiliate checks being sent out - I'm not just going by what they say they make. The affiliates are buying traffic with that money though, just like 12clicks' program is. Plus they have more overhead than most affiliates have.

$100K gross for a company or even program isn't the same now as it was back in your prime :thumbsup

NoComments 01-28-2008 04:12 PM

P, I don't gross 100k a month nowadays, so for me 100k is a "good number"
(assuming the profit margin is 50% ;)

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to gross $100K a month - but I don't have a partner, employees, affiliates, designers, content or traffic to pay for :thumbsup

12clicks 01-28-2008 04:28 PM

I can't imagine where this info comes from but it can't possibly come from ALL the banks and processors I do business with.

but I don't mind people guessing.
I am surprised to see people thinking I'm working hard though. The arcade game mojo bought me for christmas whispers in my ear all day.

NoComments 01-28-2008 04:34 PM

Ron, don't guess, I don't reveal my sources
;)

You should know first hand -
if information is out there,
it can be obtained
:D

at what banks pay today in interest, all I can say, and I hope you understand Yiddish, even though the nature of your post doesn't suggest it:

AZOHEN VEY!

I can GuARaNTEE you that 12clicks program does not come close to 100,000. a month profit. I doubt it profits more than 10,000.

You can't guarantee and I can...therefore,
keep your mouth shut, learn from the elders and re-read FAQ regarding GFY signature rules.
