I had posted this in another thread, but then realized I was hijacking the thread, so I have cut and pasted it here :)
original thread was:

KK dont hate. As a college student with no job i make 3000-4000 a month now... and i dont work more than 20 hours a week, the rest of the time im sitting here chatting or talking to friends.
but thanks for thinking about me.
Oh for fucks sake you moron, pay more attention in English class and less time chatting on AIM... it's possible that irony and sarcasm might be clear to you if you did. And that you'd realize the shot was at this norfin fool, not at you.
But while we're on the topic of you, if you make 3-4k a month and only work 20 hours a week, how can you have no job? I think you've confused self-employed with unemployed. Once again, while you're in school, pay attention since one day the internet might go pooft! and you'd have to then become employed.[/b][/quote]
Well, I kept my mouth shut for a while, but....
I would like to see some proof from mssr LouN, since he has dropped figures all over the place and he has talked about the hugely successful mainstream site and all that....
I had several conversations via email and over at setgo
*** edited - sarettah ***
*** end of edit ***
http://www.setgo.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=255
anyway... In response to a post requesting links "either mainstream or adult", I offered to throw some recips his way... Even discussed the possibility (very briefly) of mainstream trades from Paper Jewels...
But apparently, my sites aren't good enough for his hignass (that doesn't bother me much, but his bragging...including offering to "teach" Mike how to make money on the net does)

So Heqdvd..err..I mean Lou... Put up or shut up...
Lets see these great paying domains you got, cause the ones you sent me aint making you squat.........

Not to breach email confidentiality, but I included the quotes so it does not look like I am trying to say that he told me these were making money... fair is fair...
Also, while I am at it... Lou.. your comments about how you "only accept links from certain sites because of SE optimization" reek of pure bullshit. There is absolutely no real way to stop folks from linking to you, yes, you can block them at htaccess and only allow certain sites in... but that would also just clamp down on your traffic and would in the long run be pretty much counterproductive.... So, quit trying to bullshit bullshitters....
I await your proof(s)

My best mainstream sponsor
the first is from jan02-today

as a note i started the site in december of 01 so it wasnt a steady 2k a month it averages 1700-2100 a month

you know i started to write a post in response to his but decided against it. figured i would just show him what he wants so he can sleep tonight.
but i figured i would reiterate what i have said in the past.
Im not the best at anything, im just fairly good at what i decide to put my mind to. I have nothing to prove to you or anyone else on this forum, nor do you have anything to prove to me.
As far as posting email communications that at the least have a gentlemans agreement as far as being confidential, I believe that shows towards your charachter. As far as you being upset becaues i didnt want to trade links with you, that lends towards your immaturity and lack of self confidence.
Deal with it I dont want links to my sites from link sites. Its not worth it to me, im sorry if that hurt your feelings.
*hugs* its ok i still love you
I figure since I now have my own thread I will post again:
Remember again i will state i wasnt flaunting anything anywhere. I simply have said that im good with search engines and willing to do work for anyone and that i have a successful mainstream site. I also stated what I made last year because I thought KK took a shot at me about me needing to make 1000. 1/2 if not 3/4s of you here make more than I do, have more money than I do.
I respect that, just repsect me as well.
Also i assume this wont be enough for him but im dont posting "my proof" i have no need to go any further in that. I think this should be done now dont you?

Cool enough on the stats... You are making money.. good deal..
That is all I asked... Although you did not in any fashion need to post stats for me... Posting a working developed domain or a search listing would have sufficed on my part...
People come around here all the time talking jackshit out their ass and it gets old...
"As far as posting email communications that at the least have a gentlemans agreement as far as being confidential, I believe that shows towards your charachter. As far as you being upset becaues i didnt want to trade links with you, that lends towards your immaturity and lack of self confidence."
I posted the domains you sent me as your domains... you were asked in another thread about domains you had, you didn't answer... I was fair about it and as I said, I included the quotes to show that you were not saying that these were your moneymakers... If that is a breach, so be it.... I have seen many worse by a lot bigger folk than me...
" figured i would just show him what he wants so he can sleep tonight"
lololol... I haven't lost sleep over anything in a long long while kid.... And certainly not over your bragging...
"As far as you being upset becaues i didnt want to trade links with you, that lends towards your immaturity and lack of self confidence."
Didn't bother me in the least.... If I recall, we left that email conversation fairly open, neither one committing or saying much either one way or the other.... I have the traffic I need but I am always open to more :)
When you have raised 2 kids to adulthood and a third to the 5th grade and have managed to support them successfully during the entire period..at that point I will listen to what you have to say about maturity or self confidence...
"Deal with it I dont want links to my sites from link sites. "
Hmmm.. I dont run link sites...lolol... I have some free sites and a small hub... I was mainly interested in any mainstream stuff that might manage to mesh with PJ, but our conversation never got that far...
You bragged...I called you on it...You put up proof... fair enough ....
Those stats show you are sending someone traffic and gettting results, that is what the whole game is about...
"That is all I asked... Although you did not in any fashion need to post stats for me... Posting a working developed domain or a search listing would have sufficed on my part..."
Agreed, I shouldnt have had to prove anything to you, I havetn asked you to prove anything to me.
"you were asked in another thread about domains you had, you didn't answer..."
Which is even more a reason why you shouldnt have posted them, if I wanted them know I would have posted them in the other thread.
"And certainly not over your bragging..."
Wasn't ever bragging, many of you make more than me, I was just tired of being treated like a wannabe because my post count was sub 100.
"I called you on it...You put up proof... fair enough ...."
Agreed and thank you.
"Those stats show you are sending someone traffic and gettting results, that is what the whole game is about..."
Agreed, and im willing to talk about any link trades, joint promo, or even doing some SE work for anyone on a pay basis.

Yeah, but I haven't stated how good I am at search engine optimization, marketing, sales and making money while I sit on my ass either. If youmake comments like that around a whole bunch of folk that for the most part work hard for a living, you will get called on it.
"Which is even more a reason why you shouldnt have posted them, if I wanted them know I would have posted them in the other thread."
They have been edited out, sorry about that....
"Wasn't ever bragging, many of you make more than me, I was just tired of being treated like a wannabe because my post count was sub 100."
A touch of advice from an old fucker to a young one... Humility can go a long way when you are newbie to a board... Let folk get to know you and they will find out whether you are for real or not...
But on the other hand, if you can prove yourself (as you seem to have) then you can get away with a bit of brag.. again, just don't be surprised if or when someone calls you on it...
"hi my names Lou its nice to meet you..."

Ah the irony... I had almost managed to forget heqdvd...

Ah the irony... I had almost managed to forget heqdvd...
i was thinking the same thing
:biglaugh:
shhh we might learn something!!
welp spent the last 40 minutes dredging through posts by heqdvd as well as posts by you cj.
Let me share what I learned: heqdvd was a bit out there, you realized however that his weakness was that he liked to argue things and wasnt very good at doing it. You on the other hand like to argue things but are a bit more articulate and have more experience than he did to speak of.
Congrats on the experience but the problem now being, I too (like he was) am new here. I as foolishly as it may have been assumed this was a place to discuss individual strengths that may have added to the boards experience as a whole. However luckily I had you to point out to me that it realyl does not matter what I know, or I guess what I can show via affiliate stats, because im not "one of the few that were here at the beginning" or im not an "ass kisser".
From what I have read, you are a very successful woman who has a lot of positive goals both on and off the internet, whether it be continueing to develop sites and projects to crunch numbers and better ratios, or opening that shelter to assist "single mums", or even plan B being something that isnt even invented yet.
Your personality doesn't lend well to others posting of their successes, whilst this can be a problem for people easily flustered like heq, its not for me as I consider everyone here as someone I can learn something from.
The main problem is what im learning at this point is things seem to be more cliche and political in nature here. Which doesn't lend well to anyone learning anything. You go from one extreme at GFY where all they do is spam and post about crap to people here in my opinion somewhat afraid to post actual thoughts for fear of what others would say or how their idea would be torn apart, much like my idea about developing adultmagazine.org which iguess started most of this off.
Too many of you are closed minded because something might not be, a product or service you havent mastered yet or have had experience with. however instead of constantly putting people down why not try to better the group. I may come across as cocky but its more just me being confident in what I do, much like you are. The difference is I have not put forth much effort yet as I am just not motivated. I think that is most of what seperates your successes to the successes I might never have.
Everyone wants something different out of life, all I want is happiness and a tad bit of success so i can have a log cabin somwhere quiet. I dont need to push "75K in the last three months" or "bigger numbers over the past few years"
I think Serge partially said it best in I guess what was one of heqdvd's last posts:
"I was banned from GFY TWICE..
so??????
BANNED means somebody with guts to go against the popular opinion, so what?"
to which you replied as well:
"BANNED also means 'jerk who rubs everyone up the wrong way'
so far i've seen nothing but a lot of big words and showing off"
If im rubbing you the wrong way its because you dont know me and dont want to, who knows why, who cares... im going against popular opinion that its necessary to kiss ass to have a business relationship with people.
And as far as nothing but a lot of big words and no proof as with heqdvds case. I was called out and asked to show proof of what I was talking about... thats what this thread was about. I was waiting to see who would be the one that posted proving that I guess this "proof" wasn't enough, and it wasnt much of a shock.
Mutual respect is earned, I start off with respect for pretty much everyone I meet and it goes up and or down from there. So far i haven't seen anything of substance from you explaining what exactly your issue with me is, which leads me to believe you really dont have one. So can we please move on from this rediculous babble and learn from each other on the board as e all come from different backgrounds and carry knowledge the other doesnt have.
-Lou
im headed to bed and will respond to any replies in the morning or afternoon EST when i get up

do you have many friends at college loun or are you the kid that always sits alone in the lunch room and that the other students just don't 'get'?
introducing yourself "Hi I'm Loun and I make $x for doing nothing!" doesn't win anyone's respect, certainly not mine. And most of us have already been on the huge ego/success trip you are on, several times in this industry in the last several years. We've all also had lots of failures, usually following successes, and that ego gets pretty damn deflated when the bubble bursts - and i can assure you, it will. The only thing that matters is do you have the ethic and attitude to put your head down and your ass up and WORK when its needed to meet the responsibilities you have acquired along the way, or will you spend the rest of your life hearing 'ding, fries are done'? (see oprano pearls, author mike fold?)
respect is earned, not given
hang around, get involved in the discussions, and stop carrying on like you have found out a secret that the rest of us don't know and maybe someone would listen long enough to hear the valuable info you have.
you have web sites, you have domains, you have traffic
big deal.
ask around, a couple of us have dabbled in the internet too

Now you know lou, that's just not true... heqdvd was more than a bit out there -- the guy was a total nutjob in the end and the only reason it took as long to come out as it did was because he was new and people tried to give him some slack and a chance.
I am not sure why you'd have spent all that time reading posts, especially when you could have been setting up some more of those 1k a month deals and using your time much more productively :)

i got confused.
i looked at his first stats he posted (the first image) and saw the 50K number. my bad. i was going to photoshop it to show how well i am doing too. but he is only making a couple grand a month.
if someone is only making a couple grand a month on the web, they should be asking questions here, not answering them. ;)

I think it's alll good when a youngster in college makes a few k's a month,
which definately puts him ahead of the curve.
I would rather have my kids make a few k's in school instead of asking me for dough...it's a good exercise in future business skills one can utilize and use fior the rest of his/her life

Loun, CJ makes a good point.... next time when entering Oprano or other similiar social place, when introducing yourself, do not mention money first off.
I would suggest something like.
Hey everyone. My name is Loun, and I have a 9 inch donky dong!
I think then you will get the attention you were looking for.... but being able to back it up DOES help, trust me - that is why now when I use that line everyone just laughs....

Mike,
he did quite all right with his "put up or shut up" challenge and...
he has better name recognition with the line he used than all 9" cockers
;-)))
Loun,
don't listen to all "we know betters",
just be yourself and you'll do fine.
It was never introducing myself as im Lou and I make X$. I introduced myself as someone that has a mainstream site that is doing well (never mendtioned any money numbers, someone that is fairly good with search engine marketing and willing to assist or offer my work to whoever wanted it, and that i also do adult setups and have a domain adultmagazine.org that im looking to developing into a 500-1000 revenue stream / was looking for sponsor thoughts.
The problem is once that was said, half the people started in that because I was using a .org it had no merit and thus I might be a crackpot and didnt know anything. That is where it started, and as I said i brought up the numbers to show that I wasnt a wannabe or a newbie and that I do have, albeit it somewhat limited, a short proven track record.
Unfortunately it seems that everyone here would rather just not believe someone, call them a lier, and a bullshitter unless they post hard facts which is what I did with the affiliate numbers, although I knew the comment about photoshopping it to be what i wanted would come into play and I dont think I even need to address that issue.
Thank you saying that I am on the right track, to be honest in an email exchange with sarettah I mentioned to him that one of my current issues is a lack of motivation, this is why I dont work as often as i should. Its not because I don't think I have to, its more just with things going on in my life right now, there is nothing that makes me want to.
And as far as "if someones only making a couple K a month on the web they should be asking questions not answering them" this is just the wrong attitude in my opinion. Just because I dont make a 6 figure income doesnt mean i dont have anything to offer.
Enjoy the day / night depending on where you are.
Mike,
he did quite all right with his "put up or shut up" challenge and...
he has better name recognition with the line he used than all 9" cockers

Thank you Serge but heads up they are gonan get you for befriending the new guy again :lol:
Im positive most of them have a ton more experience than I do and most of them know more, but beyond that I have no worries. Its just tough when your persoanlity isnt one of being submissive, sittign back, lurking and not adding to any conversation ebcause you havent been initiated yet. My personality type is one of something that likes to take the lead but knows when its necessary to allow others that right, however in that case I stay close behind and not get shuffled to the back of the room. Amongst other similar personality types im sure it can be an issue.

people are skeptical for a reason. there is a long history of people showing up out of nowhere, claiming to be something they are not and then dissapearing. thats where most here are coming from. when people see that, they roll their eyes and make a snide remark. its habit formed by years of experience of the exact same thing.
you are making money. cool. good for you. but here, its a little like walking into Mike Tysons house after a few weeks of training and bragging about your boxing skills. people are bound to flip you shit. no one would discourage you from what you are doing and no one suggested that you may not have something to offer. i think you just walked into something you did not immediately understand.
go introduce yourself on GFY ( www.gofuckyourself.com ) and see how polite they are and you will see what being "poorly recieved" means.

I actually have a lot of friends after being ni teh same dorm for a couple years that i was on campus and they all respect me as a person not because of what I do on the internet, unfortuantely until an internext rolls around this wone be the case with anyone here. As far as them "not getting me" of course they dont, im sure most of us here have a ton of people in our day to day lives that just dont get us. They dont ge the ideas we randomly have and have to write on a napkin, the back of a business card, or when we wake up in the middle of teh night jump out of bead and hop online to check something that we were thinking about. We are inherently different. As im sure you all do too, I have many notebooks and text files full of thoguhts and ideas and how to do things differently, this is what im doing when im sitting alone somwhere, not sitting alone beause I have to but more because i want to, I have shit to do lol
"And most of us have already been on the huge ego/success trip you are on, several times in this industry in the last several years."
Im definitely not on an ego trip, if I was I wouldnt have been saying thigns from the start that im not the best at, and that I just know some about it and am doing fairly well at it. There is a difference in being confident in your skills and being on an ego trip, but point taken and its understood.
"The only thing that matters is do you have the ethic and attitude to put your head down and your ass up and WORK when its needed to meet the responsibilities you have acquired along the way, or will you spend the rest of your life hearing 'ding, fries are done'? "
I do however it takes more than 3 days for that to come across dont you think? As far as ding the fries are done, I actually wanted to pick up a day job either as a waiter or even working fast food just so I could be more on teh front lines with the public to network with local industry in my home area. There is nothing wrong with that.
"respect is earned, not given"
We agree on this point 100%, I would just add that its better to go into "relatipnships" with more of an open mind in stead of passing unfound judgement.
"get involved in the discussions"
Attempting to but not easy when it seems the only discussions i should be involved in are how nice the weather is, and how the war is getting to be over because I havent proven myself so none of my thoughts or opinions matter on the other topics.
"stop carrying on like you have found out a secret that the rest of us don't know and maybe someone would listen long enough to hear the valuable info you have."
Im sure some of what I know isnt known by everyone here, we all have different specialties. You know more about jettis, epock, ccbill, globill, than I ever want to. Why? because you deal with them on a daily basis, I have no desire to run a paysite. This principle can be carried over to almost any debatable topic in one for or another.
"you have web sites, you have domains, you have traffic
big deal. ask around, a couple of us have dabbled in the internet too"
Yes but did you get there all by yourselves? or did you have a group of people you could bounce ideas off of and talk shop with that helped you get there. The latter is all I was looking for.

Not to exasberate (sp?) the situation but it appears that I have pissed a few folk off....
First I wake up to an email professing that my posting the boardwhore comment was the most "unprofessional" thing that they had ever seen, tghe I go over to setgo and it turns out that I pissed someone else off...
Oh well, if you don't screw up at least a million times a day, then you aint doing something right....
So in the vein, here is my latest screw up :)
enjoy :)

for some reason, which probably go all the way back into his childhood,
Dig is one of the most miserable, least self assured, monkey bearing webmaster out there...
even though he is a few steps above Raw Alex.
will poor Dig EVER kill his "monkey"?

Loun,
as I found out myself,
dick size doesn't matter...
getting it up in front of the camera DOES!
