This is my thank you GFY thread
 

2005- I STARTED! Feb 2005 I was a completely newbie, I was asking questions every day using different usernames, because I was embarrassed with my NEWBIE questions. Thanks to WiredGuy, "sleazydreams", "Aaron M", Trax, newbreed, """"""After Shock Media""""" tanker, SmokeyTheBear, BVF, Dalai lama, and some more, thanks to those guys I succeeded in this business!

Most thanks deserves "AERON M" in the beginning I hated this guy, now I know why because he was one of those guys who knew everything and felt sorry for newbies, but many times he answered my questions and once he even fight with some guy who criticize him because he helped newbies.

SmokeyTheBear comes second, many good advices, this guy knows a lot!
BVF comes third, many good advice from him.

Many times I was in contact with JUICY D., never, never, not once I got any advice from him! So yes he is just a clown working for his own sig.

I made this thread as an inspiration thread, some of threads like this one gave me hope to work hard in this business.
What do I do? Today I own 4 nice paysites (nylon fetish, feet fetish, amateur and full-length porn movies), some free sites, 5 TGP's, blog directory...but most of the costumers I get from google/adwords. And one more thing I should mention Marc from AEBN, this guy helped me in the beginning with aebn feeds, also Mellisa from AEBN reduced a couple of my feed bills until I was on my own legs, and today I'm one of AEBNs best plugin costumes.

I earn around $40,000 a month, thanks to GFY, I really mean it, thanks to GFY!! So my advice to all newbies is: work hard you can be rich if you "put all your time in into this" there is no easy way, you have to work day and night in the beginning! And be you own, if you know what I mean.

And I almost forgot to thank Verotel (my billing processor) who made this easy for me, focusadult.com for great content, Gregg, pluginfeeds.com, Matrix Content, servermatrix, and I should mention livejasmin.com for the best upsell sponsor who will never shave you.

And for those who usually ask how much you spend to make money:
Monthly average expenses: adwords $1000, $400 3 servers, $1500-$2000 AEBN feeds, that's it.

Thank you :)

Ps. If anyone wants to know "details" how I succeeded, I'll tell you in details, just ask and bookmark this threat and I'll answer as soon as I can.

bookmarked, we all have something to learn, I love reading this stuff

Good job:thumbsup

Fantastic story, thanks for sharing.

wow thanks guys, you know how gfy can be I was expecting the worse :)

Congrats SHGB :) Good job on reaching your success! Now continue to grow :)

Nice post. Always good to remember those who helped you when you needed it.

Congratulations on your success. :thumbsup

ADG Webmaster

A GFY thread that is anti-drama!...quite a relief.

and of course congrats on all your success!

Seriously, I am very impressed. And jealous too! Good job :thumbsup

nice, congratz!

Congratulations :thumbsup

One thing does confuse me however...

Total Posts: 161 (0.31 posts per day)

How the fuck can you possibly be making money like that when you have such a low postcount on GFY? Kindly explain.

Damnit, someone's who epenis is bigger than mine! :(


lol but seriously congrats on the success. I hope you will invest ur earnings wisely because if life has taught me anything, is that All good things must come to an end. Although, if you were smart enough to build yourself up like that, I am sure you are smart enough to prepare for any eventuality!

So once again, congrats!

From my post:
"I was asking questions every day using different usernames, because I was embarrassed with my NEWBIE questions."

what can I say :Oh crap

congrats man, really inspiring thread.

my questions to you is how many hours on average did you spend working each day?
What % of time did you spend on research?
When you began, did you have any previous knowledge in adult/mainstream? If so, how much experience?

oh and can we see your sites?

great story

I'm not much smarter then anyone on this board, I believe all it takes is to ask for advice, so when I comes to you question I'm currently asking for advice on another mainstream board how I should invest my money wisely, of course you can not listen to anyone but there are people who wants to share useful information. Right now I don't need to invest in anything, all I'm looking for is a "nice" bank interest.

Well done mate

Congrats. But there is one thing they haven't thought you yet. (They probably did actually, this is just a reminder)
Do not ever tell anybody your secrets (your business in detail basicly).

Look at all the advice you've gotten, and in the end you leanred how to make your own money by thinking outside the box a little.

I was working at least 10 hours a day sometimes more, I have been doing research since day one and are still doing it, "its a must" there is no way you can do it alone, I read forums everyday, always something to learn.

To your last question:
Ok I started 2003 with a free site, I knew nothing then, my goal was then to give my visitors everything for free in hope that they will always come back to my site and hopefully spend some money on my sponsors. But that didn't work so I was stuck with that site making coins until I found GFY 2005. then I changed my tactics "don't give anything for free" simple tactics but it works.

Thanks for answering :)

btw, what's your contact info, maybe we could do some business together.

Nice inspiring story, congrats man :)

Congratulations on your success.

yeah congrats to you, very inspiring story :)

No one told me to be quiet, who ever jups from $1k a month to $30k-40k a month, automaticly gets quiet, who knows me or my business on gfy?
Not even people I mention in my first post knows who I em.

don't worry...
This is just an inspiration thread, no secrets reviled, any newbie who will make serious money in the next 12 months would do it without this thread.
All I say is that you need to work hard. and niches I mention, there are already so much competitions there, so its not about what niche you chose, its about how hard you work.

Why I mention "no secrets reviled" is because I never heard any secrets my self, I figured them out.
On the other side threads like "for the next 5 hours I'll answer all your questions" helped me a lot.

You want a "secret"? here it is "videosz.com" you know what I mean?
We all know what works but still we don't copy that because we don't have money or time or knowledge, it takes much more then one simple success story thread to make it in this business.

so this is not "I'll answer all newbie question" thread, that would be embarrassing as I still see myself as a newbie compered with the big guys on this board. Just a inspiration thread :thumbsup

Man thats cool , prolly the best thread ive ever read on here !

Now we want details............

...you know I can not give the real details about my business, this is a success story thread and I would like to share how I started, what problems I experienced, what I learned and stuff like that.

I must run now, I'll be back later...

* bump *

Congrats :) welldone ;)

Good for you:thumbsup

Congrats!!!! :thumbsup

Well done, wish more people used the board for education instead of petty arguments!

Keep it up!

I just masturbated to this thread.

you are so nice to thank those guys.! this is a good move.:)

Wow.. this is one of the very few positive threads that I've seen on this board.

If you really want to do something good for the board why dont you cut those that helped you a check. It might inspire others and turn this board into a more useful tool that is allready is? Doesnt have to be a big check but a small token of appreication means alot IMHO. Glad to see your willing to pass on the knowledge at least nice job and congrats!

I haven't been around GFY much lately so I missed this thread. Not sure who you really are but since you dropped my nick I thought I would say thanks for mentioning me, whatever it is I (or we - if it had to do with Arika) did to help you out.

Congrats on your success!

:)
Bill

Wishing you all the best on your business.. :)
