Whats the Best Advice You Were Ever Given
 

What s the best peice of advice you were ever given about doing porn on the net? Or what was the best tutorial that you've ever read?

In the last seven years....?

'Take the risks for which you are willing to pay'.

"Find your niche" - Serge

hehe, yes I remember it.

"Shut up and pay attention"

Build what your users want, not what you want.

Steve Lightspeed: learn to drive traffic before opening up your own paysite

Philip from APN: build an honest company

never mind....

From my father:

What you lose on the merry go round, you make up on the swings.

Sometimes you're the hammer, sometimes you're the nail.

for the internet it was read, read, read, and then read more...

but as far as life in general...

YADWAD=YAGWAG
You Always Do What You Always Did, You Always Get What You Always Got

Live every day as if it was your last. One of these days, you're going to be right.

Don't Fuck the talent! :pimp

If you can't be good, be sanitary.

Kim Miller: "Do what you love, the money will come."

Eight years ago my mate John Mason told me to get Eva back from Czech. He thought a few months together would make us realise it wold not work.

The advice was great, the thinking behind it ................

"Its not ideas you have that matter, its what you do with them" -> by me (based on my experience and networking with people over the years)

That one.

I can relate...the one I learned...is:

Sometimes you eat the bear. Sometimes, the bear eats you.

Favorite piece of advice:


The world is a fiery kiln of pragmatism where rules are publicly observed yet privately trashed if there is a chance of getting 'the edge'. In life, love and sport...if someone else has that 'edge', you'd better find a way of getting it too.

For additional advice - sit down and watch 'Wall Street'.

If it floats, flies or fucks... rent it.

My Boss
Sell my content

My sister once told me at a time I had a lotta shit in my life...she said 'get rid of the shit in your life whether it's people or situations and you'll be happier'...I never forgot that, I've followed that advice so many times and when I do my life gets better.

Think as a surfer not as a webmaster (my own advice to myself daily)...

Don't eat yellow snow! :warning

It's not traffic that's king. It's how you control it. It's what you do with it.

Dont believe what everyone says only 50% is true
if someone says they were doing 1000 sales a day it really meant 500
that was advice given to me 5 years ago I bet its alot worse now.

so dont belive the hype there is a reality and just focus on yourself and never give up

big affiliates might give you big cash payouts and more bonuses but small less-saturated ones bring in more sales and long term sign ups its good to have a mix of both.

Where possible try and get a website to plug your link rather than trying to force your way onto their topsite or referrer list.

I have to agree with that 'build what your users want' too.. :thumbsup

Winners make the rules that losers live by

Two in the pink and one in the stink.

just check my sig.

in a similar vein...

There are 3 sides to a argument, His, hers and the truth

"a promise is a comfort to a fool."

"Don't shit where you eat". Sleazydream

DH

see sig (for real) made me lotsa money.

A wise man once said: Get Rich Or Die Tryin'. I think we can all learn something from that.

Dont ever put yourself in the position to get fucked.


(not sexual wise)

Don't believe everything you read on GFY

dont get married before your 35

I always tell my friends...

Always like, never Love. (They never listen and have to fall back on this)
Always have control over your money, Don't let money control you.

Advices to me.

Somone once said..
"If someone tells you it can't be done. Do it and prove them wrong"

That's the best advice I ever had.

You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.
Know when to walk away, know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sitting at the table.
There'll be time enough for counting, when the dealing's done.

From Russ Hampshire who owned VCA and was a partner in Babenet and a bunch of other adult related businesses:

"Know when to shut up, and keep your content"

never chamber the first round....
oops wrong biz

don't ever do anything you wouldn't be willing to read about on a billboard along sunset blvd . . .

There are only 2 certainties in life: death and taxes.

The long and short of it is that you will never become wealthy by working hard and saving. You become wealthy by exploiting others, and that's all there is too it.

Problems always seem larger than they really are as you're drifting off to sleep for the night.

Come morning, the problems are always much smaller and more easily overcome.

or: if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem is a nail.
