Pros only, please read. <loooooong post inside>
This post is for those who are serious in this business and have a genuine desire to help others. I'm tired of feeling like a three-legged cat trying to bury turds in a frozen pond, so I am going out on a limb here. I'm letting it all out, so if you can feel a bit of rough sarcasm rising up inside of you, inspiring you to spit fire, then please, do not read any further.
If anyone has seen my previous posts, it's probably pretty obvious that I'm still tring to figure out how to profit from this industry. I've completely failed, due to timing.
I started researching after I ran into a site called Hosts4porn.com (a very informative site, btw), and immediately built an AVS gallery. I was happy, because it was a start.
Then, through more research, I was told that the best way to make money in this industry, without any startup capital, would be a TGP site. Not only could I make money from that, but I could also send it directly to the AVS sites I was building. Right before everyone was saying "TGP's are dying", I built one, www.discoverxxx.com (very bad host, so it prolly won't load). I stopped short of getting two key tools, a TGP script and a Traffic Trading script, because I could'nt see a formula that could convince me to invest in either programs. I became very disillusioned, and even went so far as to try to sell my sites www.discoverxxx.com and www.sexyluck.com, just to get the fuck away from it.
Everyone says that the money to be made from this industry has already been dished out about 3-5 years ago with the emergence of TGP sites and dialers. Yet I see a lot of cats that are doing just fine anyway. Which confuses the hell out of me, because the advertising affiliates offer the same programs to everyone.
It makes one on the outside think that there's something the insiders know before anyone else. Or something to that extent.
In any case, I'm tired of feeling like I'm wading through a sea of information, leading me nowhere. Originally, I got into this business because I was trying to figure out a way to go to college. All I've been doing, it seems, is directing a helluvalotta energy in the wrong direction.
I'm 21, working a full-time job at a fucking copy center, a part-time job at a screenprinting shop, and am a partner in an urban clothing line business. I'm excellent at design, implementation, selling, ad copywriting, marketing and brand management. I know the economics of and the ins and outs of business ownership and have an uncanny ability, like most good brand-managers, to formulate unique ideas together and present them for consumer appreciation. You would think that I would be able to do well in this business.
I do think I could, there just seems to be a piece to this puzzle missing. While yes, I am doing well with my business, and yes, I get paid well at my job, all I keep praying for is the opportunity to get an education-as cheesy as that sounds. Fuck the escalade, fuck the yact, fuck the mansion, I just want a BA, hopefully a Masters, one day.
In any case, this is a call for help. I know I'm going to get attacked for this, but I really don't know where else to turn in this industry. This is hard, because I know how important a rep is on these boards, but my future is more important to me than what people think of my social skills. So here goes:
If anyone out there is running things well, has had a good chunk of time and/or experience in this biz and could use a little help, please, contact me at [email protected]. I'm looking for someone with plenty of experience to kind of take me under their wing, to show me how it's done right. I'm not lazy and I do think I have a lot to offer. I can design sites and ads that will sell, I just gotta feel it, if you know what I mean. Anyway, you won't be dissapointed, and I will pull my weight.
Thanks for listening.
