Worst Business mistake you have made?
The worst for myself.... Trusting a third party credit card processor to be honest and actually pay what they owed us, 3 years ago PSW BILLING didn't pay us costing us a lot of $$$, we still had to pay affiliates and send the products to customers. Obviously you learn from them mistakes and MoreNiche now as 3 credit card processors and we are on top of everything...

My biggest mistake was getting out of the adult industry a number of years ago...trying to get back in fulltime in this day and age is a real headache.

trusting family to handle your $ .. or anyone other then myself or wife for that matter
|
Trusting anyone other then myself.
|
i signed up at a fucking board, instead of building galleries
|
thinking too short term
|
What are the processors you use now?

Just abandoning an 80K TGP in 1999 :(

not working as hard as i should of in the 'easy' days.

pushing the "SEND MONEY" button before reading carefully through the "payment recieved" details.
|
Trusting a human being.

Following VC advice by spending money on huge office space, computers, and furniture before establishing a powerful sales organization.
Lesson Learned: Just because they are giving you millions $ to spend doesn't mean you should listen to them on how to spend it. THey are fuckheads. Sales always comes first, and only spend when you absolutely can't stand it anymore. |
Biggest mistake - using iBill back in the day.

got a bigger one come to think of it not going with ccbill from the beginning.
That mistake cost me the 13 grand at the very least. |
Biggest mistake was telling Richard or Richards Realm I was not interested in teaming up with him.
Second biggest one was not coming to the Internet sooner. Third one was not opening a paysite sooner. Still you live and learn. :1orglaugh |
a 2,500$ investment that I did not make. I spent the money on parties instead, And I would venture to say, that it cost me somehwere around 14million a year.
Thats what my income would have been. |
probably buying my first computer
|
I was very inaccurate when began the bis, so had some difficulties
|
selling out....

My biggest mistake: Spending too much time working for others. |

I basically have two.
1. not working hard enough in the easier days. I was making good money and only working like 15-20 hours a week. I should have been putting in 60 hours a week and expanding. 2. a few years back I had problems with netsol and lost five of my domains. three didn't matter because they had nothing on them. The other two had about 3 years worth of galleries, avs and free sites on them. Lost about 70% of my income in one swoop. Not only that but people were blacklisting me left and right because the sites were now redirected. It took me months to get that fixed. |
not having started an adult dating site. that will change soon.

Weird, i thought dropping a former employee off at the airport with a fake plane ticket would've made the list?
