Looking 4 Strategic Partnership

Best of luck on that.

Thanks for the well wishes. Not exactly what I am looking for.

On a side note, it's funny how some people take different things from this post and offer. The content guys see it as I am looking for a Jim Gunn type of person to come in and 'show me the ropes' which is not the case. I can shoot the stuff myself just fine. I am looking for a strategic business partner. Not bmbradley to come fly in to help me twice a month learning how to shoot.

The traffic guys see it as I want someone to come in and build me a traffic empire. For some reason think either or have an assumption I have no traffic of any kind (showing me they either have no clue who I am, read the post, or know what they are talking about) and want me to have them do all the work generating traffic, and I just shoot some models. Or I want them do pay, do all the work, and I just lend them my 'name brand'. This is hilarious to me.

Some of the response, and who I get what from, is entertaining. No offense meant to the O.P. by any means.

Lastly, bringing in a 'fan' is some of the worst advise I could think of. They are not going to be business minded, and the chance to meet, and try and hook up with their favorite foot girls is just a nightmare waiting to happen. Not to mention the awe factor alone.

Thanks again though. It was a good read, and well thought out .

You are looking for a person with lots of money to invest, with really specific skills, who wants to travel to you in the middle of nowhere on a regular basis and wants to invest it in exactly what you want to do. Such an ideal person is unlikely to exist I would think! But you can probably get help in a few of these areas cheaply. It won't be moneybags or another partner, but maybe you can grow using that help? Production help is probably pretty cheap up there in MI if you find some college kids with technical skills to help production. And maybe a local webmaster with experience in affiliate marketing or blog building could help you with your program and blogs & stuff for a part time salary. If you ever want some general production and lighting tips I'd be happy to give you some pointers on lighting and filming high definition foot scenes now that I have experience with it.

Hi again -

Of course your "fan" could turn out to be a psycho... so hopefully you would choose him carefully.

I have had the chance to meet some of our best customers in person and learned a TON of things about how they found our sites, why they chose to spend money, and why they stuck around.

Anyway, I'm sure you'll succeed no matter what path you take barefootsies, but I think my idea is still valid, and easier too.

Cheers!

The entire state of Michigan is a shithole, but I live in Ohio so I'm really not one to talk. I always dug Ann Arbor, though...

It is a lot harder than you think to find good, consistent, solid help. There simply is not a resource pool up here, at least this side of the state, like there would be over by Pete KT in Detroit metro.

True true.

Ann Arbor is a nice area. Plus there is more to do since you are closer to metro. Unfortunately it's a good hour and fifteen to hour and a half away.

Thanks mate. I appreciate you taking the time to respond, and the well wishes.

The Europeans, so far, seem to be the most interested, and see the vision clearly of what I am looking for. Logistics is really the biggest issue for me to think over there. They have the cash, and interest.

So maybe I will think on that some more..

I used to spend a lot of time all over Michigan. The woman I worked for for 10 years owned the adult bookstores attached to the Deja Vu's in Flint and Saginaw, and she owned an adult bookstore in Bay City and Lincoln Park, plus the Deja Vu and the attached bookstore in Port Huron. The warehouse and corporate office was in Durand, which is a little shit town that was known for all it's railroad tracks. Those were good times, but I don't miss living out of Michigan's finest Holiday Inn's...

I would love to do this, especially going back to Michigan every month. To bad I don't have any money to invest

wrong...

You just escaped here hoss. Why in such a hurry to come back?

When I get the chance to head to Cali, I will not miss Michigan winters at ALL!

Ya I don't miss the winter but I miss all my friends and family. I sure will miss summer time on lake Charlevoix if I don't make it back. I love it up there.

Ah ok. I feel you chief.

I do not have a lot of family left. I will miss friends, but since most are married now, I talk to them more on the phone that see them much anymore. I see them golfing in the summer a decent amount, but the wifie's keep em on lock down.

How you loving Florida?
