After a year...Thank you.
 

After being fully submerged in this business for about a year, I have taken the time to reflect back upon my accomplishments as well as my failures. In doing so I have been able to reset some goals and see the road a little more clearly.

As a lot of you know, I have been shooting content since 1991 but had not decided to produce and sell it full time until after I had attended the Adult Webmaster Event held in Portland, OR in August of 2001. The people that I met at this show and the encouragement I received were the driving forces that lead me to leave the mainstream job place for good.

Directly after the AWE show I strapped myself in for one hell of a wild ride. Countless hours of shooting, networking, and developing a shitty website to sell my products on which launched in September of 2001. Along the way I have met some great people some of which have been very helpful to me. This posting is just another way for me to say thank you to those who have made a positive impact on me from their words or their actions. No matter what has happened in the past or what may happen in the future, these people and their contributions will never be forgotten.

In addition to this, I would like to thank every client who has ever purchased from me and everybody who has ever bought a round of drinks. :)

For those who are just now getting into this business, I offer this advice: NEVER QUIT! Always learn, help others when you can, and NEVER forget those who help you.

Good luck to everybody in the future?I know that I am really looking forward to what year #2 will bring!

Thank You & Peace

Hmm, has anyone seen my fluffy bunny? He goes by Wild Bill Bunny.

If you see him, pls let me know...

Thx

You're welcome buddy :thumbsup

Keep up the good work and most of all ... never stop giving us (the people that do not attend the shows) a taste of what we're missing:winkwink:

I'm happy that Cheshire's happy that you're happy

I am just glad that my drunk rantings made any sense... sure the fuck did not for me.

FUCKIN A Aaron and may anything that you touch turn into GOLD ! All the best Man , its a pleasure to know You ! Jules

I wish you great success. :thumbsup

Hey Aaron here's to a great year of empire building to you!

You're welcome.

If I can help somebody, the day's not been wasted.

Aaron you are very welcome (and I am honored to be in such good company, that's a great list :)). Since the very first time I saw your content I knew you were for real, keep up the good work.

Aaron, thanks for not bitching when we steal your content...
Thanks for the round of drinks your last stop through Vegas
Thanks for bringing us some of Portland's finest teens (and Vegas teens, etc.)


just kidding about stealing the content...we didn't steal it all.... ;))))))

btw, let's look into that Vegas adult webmaster compound thingee...I have the perfect chunk of land picked out ;)))

...and don't worry about Brad...he's just jealous because he had to buy his content company and he's no longer the most annoying "big man" in the industry ;)))))))


I wish you continued success for years to come....

I can't say you are welcome, although you know you are, because you know me........ and my thing is friends help friends, so no need for thank yous or you're welcomes! I am not so sure how or why I am on that list because you have done FAR more for me than I have for you and you know what I am talking about, I don't have to go there again. You have been a friend to me when I needed a friend and friends do this for friends. I am just glad you think enough of me to add me to your list.

You know I love ya babe and I love it that you are succeeding at something you LOVE doing, that's all important.

:thumbsup

Aaron you are the fucking man good luck to you and your ventures. The future looks very bright lets make this money baby!

1 year and you are still wet behind the ears.

Maybe start another thread when you have your first month of $1k sales.

I give him 6 months before he dissapears.

Brad who?

just some bitter fatfuck who's never had an original idea in his life...

He had to buy his content company, he did an ok job ripping off the bangbus sites, he has a midget site that I hear doesn't convert so well....

his only decent attributes are a couple key employees (Drew, who needs to learn to take a good ballbusting, but can be entertaining) Tonda and KimmyKim....

So, no worries Aaron, keep on producing good shit....fuck the rest :)

Well said Aaron, and right back at ya.

:thumbsup

And on behalf of Premier Internet Ventures, I'd like to say that I hope that everyone (well almost everyone =p) that you deal with, be it on a business or personal level, shares in your enthusiasm and success. :winkwink:

Buzz

PS - Who's turn is it for that next round of drinks anyway? :glugglug

One full year and not a trailer to show for it.

Damn good thing you've got so many people that would gladly take you in and party with you from dusk till dawn... and then some more :thumbsup

Hey BS (interesting initials), maybe he has yet to make $1ksales (today), but he's more than earned $millions in friendships. :winkwink:

Thanks for the inclusion Aaron, it's been a fun ride and I'm looking forward to many more crazy times ahead.

And if anyone is looking for content you know who to get it from!

WHO ?? dont be shy tell us all about it !!:1orglaugh

Rory should be on that name-drop list :1orglaugh

SykkBoy2, who the fuck are you to bust on me? What the fuck have you done in this business? You have had more jobs than ideas I have ripped off!

I bought Fredh Photos, which was NOT turning a profit, and turned it into a proitable company within months. I created Fresh Webmaster Content from scratch.

If I am fat, your boy Aaron is fucking obese!

the kids are at play...

hey, how come my name wasent up there Aaron? Did you forgot how I put tanning lotion on you during the cruise? I deserve to be up there for that! :Graucho

Congratulations Aaron. I wish you continued success my friend. :)

Aaron,

The sushi last night in Belltown was excellent.

Thanks again

You were right about the waitress, she was hot.

See you next time you're in Seattle. :thumbsup

Hey Aaron with that speech you should run for a president :thumbsup

Chichio, are you back in Seattle?

Yep, I've been back since January.

I just missed you guys when you came through the office earlier this year.

You had just stepped out when I came to shake your hands.

kind of an awkward moment that day as i recall.

yeah true, not sure anyone expected it

we could try it again if you would like

get a drink, talk some biz :glugglug

He is....Kinda. See "Premier Internet Ventures"

Some of the best Sushi ever. Great suggestion bro. Seattle is pretty close so weather permitting...I will be there often. :glugglug

BTW....That thing we were discussing...Hit me up on ICQ. I may have some options for you.

I bestow on you genius status.

Keep up the good work bro :thumbsup

Keep up the great work Aaron :thumbsup





Mike.................

thanx bro, I appreciate the compliment! I never thought of myself as a genious, but I trust your assesment!

More pics please.

:glugglug

Congratulations, and I'm still surprised how many pics of your eye you still take because you still continue to turn the camera the wrong way from time to time!
