how i went from rags to riches...
 

ok.. no BS here


short version.

1997 saw show on 48hours date line or something. about a couple in maryland doing cam work in thier bedroom pulling about 1 mil a year.. amateur cam couple.

told my girl at the time.. we can do that

invested 3k in some programming, design and content(max candy) at the time

total failure..

prettypink.com was the site.

some shit happend, went to jail(long story) i didnt mean to kill that old lady.. was an acciednt.

got out of jail... worked at rent a center.. became manager.. sucked. i got fired for calling some bitch that stole 5k worth of the stores furnature a ******.. no joke.

got back online, hooked up with some guys doing some mailing.. made some quick cash.. started epic in 2001 late may i think..

spent every dime i had investing into epic.. decided that was taking too long.

I posted here as a matter of fact looking for a financial backer.

$6k was the fucking buy in!!!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOL and nobody took me serious except 1 person. he helped out gave me the tools i needed 50/50 deal for 6k buy in...

and here we are.


if some white trash like me can do it. then any one can.

:sleep :sleep :sleep

I remember working with Trey re Hood Honey and Sub IDs for tracking.

even you can do it juicy... tgping isnt gonna do it for you.. sorry.. not in 2004

congratulations

I remember watching that show myself. I live here in MD and the couple lives not far from my place down at the beach. The site was thewetlands.com. Kind of funny you brought this up - suprised i still remember this. :glugglug

Sounds a lot like my life story.

Is that part a joke??

The other Pimpdogg was better than this crappy MKII version.

i didnt kill anyone.. i got into a fight with my girlfriend that was in another state on the phone.. she hung up on me and i flipped out and smashed all her shit..

yea yea i know

young and dumb... shit happens. but yes i was in jail for about 8 months.. i also threatend to kill her hense the long jail time
but who doesnt say stupid shit when you get a lil upset?

mix politics and a town of 3k people and you get no justice.

Sounds like a good story,

sane people?

I remember in 98 or 99 watching a show about some couple who were both nurses at a big hospital and when word got out that they had a cam site, they both got suspended or fired. Can't remember which, but I think they sued. As soon as the show was over, my exhusband got up, went to the computer, pulled up the site, and joined it so we could see it. And I got the same line - "Hell, we look better than them. We could do that." :1orglaugh

My question is... Did you use pimpdog as your nick the whole time?

candicecam at one point :)

Wow. I have a friend who's exhusband kicked in both doors to her house, broke two windows out, told the next door neighbor he'd gut him with a pocket knife, and then jumped up on the hood of her car in the parking lot of an Applebees, with the two of us sitting in it, and kicked the windshield in with his foot. :1orglaugh

I think he had to pay for the damage, court costs, and talk to some court counselor for about 45 mins, and that was it. I don't think anybody goes to jail here for breaking stuff.

i can do all that, and not go to jail? sweet.

ahahah

my very 1st nick here

but this was after prettypink.com

it was when i was trying to get my other girlfriend's cam site going...

is that true? i think your joking

tdawg

i liked candice. she was a cool chick.

that was my chat nick when i hung out with the idiots in sextracker chat... now there is an 3l33t chat elsewhere.

You forgot the part about when you hired that crazy ass nigga named Media to join the lineup..

Yeah BOI!!!!! Blowin shit up, knockin mofuckas down!


Ugh.. back to Tax Prep.......

I went from standin on the corner sellin cocaine
To building sitest and let the checkwriters writing my name
To be precise making cash is the light of my life
You frontin like you trife but never made a cent in your life

:Graucho

^^^ one of the top 3 designers in this industry.

he is a lil rusty at flash or he would be #1.

couldnt have done alot of this shit without you d0g!

I already bought the film rights from pimpd0g...
just need to figure who I'm going to cast to play him.

PIMPD0G soon to be a major motion picture.

you should do a shadow program.
People can pay to follow you around for a week and watch what you do, how you run things.
no joke. It's done in other industries.

Maybe. The local law enforcement in the South have been known not to like foreigners, so it would be a tough call. ;)

Take that and rewind it back, p1mpdogg got the program make ya booty go (clap)
Take that and rewind it back, Media got the designs make ya booty go (clap)
:Graucho

nice story p1mpdogg

I'm touched :throwup

We need before and after pics :)

nah, just jealous i think

You know, we could actually prolly make a movie this summer.. would be cool.. We could go fire off automatic weapons.. P1mpdog can run over your old car with his big ass truck, and we can blow up some shit.. and wipe our asses with $100 bills.. Wizzo can have some big ass pitbulls on a leash.. And tanguy can throw molotov cocktails into the car that PD just ran over... Then gome girls could proceed to make out... could be like the next big James Bond type movie.. I think we could film it for under $2000 and it would be a big webmaster hit! Looooool! :Graucho

lol

james bond ghetto style

i like this

Yeah, me too :)
Fly me over, I have years of hands-on experience in the movie biz...camera, sound, grip and editing :)

We all love rags to riches story. I wish I can share mine, but I'm still with the rags...

How come pimpdog is so down to earth tonight? :) But its good, stay this way.

You forgot about the part where the tranny comes in and everyone gets it on

Stay tuned next month for part #2

" RICHES BACK TO RAGS "

that's right around when I noticed the pimpdog come on the scene...


although I've raised an eyebrow or two to his marketing/antics on the boards and in chat, I gotta say, I remember him back when I guess he could be considered a newbie and you could just tell he had that 'energy' to take him to where he wanted to go...


:thumbsup :thumbsup to that...


much more refreshing to watch than the standard whiner/slacker...





PS: sorry PD, but I'm gonna blow your cover....on the phone and in one-on-one chats he's is a WAY more down to earth person that what you may witness on this board...

haha i remember that chat!

good stuff

:glugglug

Very nice story... :) :thumbsup

Good reading :thumbsup
I like reading how folks made it in the biz.

I liked the story.

instructive

only a 6k buy in was cheap

not bad for $6k buy in

did you actually do anything or you just hired minions to do that shit for you?

That's a great story :thumbsup
