Working..quietly.

Too many people desperate to hang on to a clue in this biz to avoid going back to McDonands.

So Im not sharing help publicly.

I consider each month to making the forum read only for members after I cull the user base.

Well, I have never worked at Mickeydees and have no intention of ever doing so. Business is pretty good....obviously not like "before", but I think lots of others are not so lucky and have just fallen by the way side or are in or out of jail or should be.
The girls who used to breeze through here to pitch their tits with all kinds of promises of participating...like Melissa whats her name have come and gone...no shock
What I miss here, is non business discussions...like hanging out with friends. Sometimes you talk biz and sometimes you talk about other things.
Sometimes piss and vinegar is good, but in retrospect it is a bit of a drain or your creativity and time.
I wish more people would post. Even me, who loves this board, tends to forget to drop by.
But lots of other boards are in much worse shape....nearly spammed out of existence.
And truthfully, I have forgotten the names of many so they are gone from my radar. Perhaps Twitter has killed them.

Never worked at a McD's but I did work at a Burger King during my senior year of high school. Not something I'd care to do again.

I'm not much for idle chit chat, but I'll offer my opinion or observations on a topic if I feel I have something to contribute. But, like Hell Puppy, I spend far more time reading, listening and observing than I do talking.

I have been shooting.
Actually a lot all year.

Today a wet and messy scene, 2 weeks ago some nice cemetery shots one in Decatur and one in Rome.

Next weekend we crank up Team FFN to go Zombie and Ghost Hunting.

Upgraded still cameras and bought a lighting rig.
Next expenditures will be on a telephoto lens and speed lights.

Ill have some results to share with my closer friends soon enough.

2 years pimping smokes has given my a much better perspective on consumers, what they want and how to approach advertising from a more general standpoint.

Dont look for me to beg for business threads by bribing you with teeshirts or and Ipad.

Ill leave that for balding stunt cocks to pursue as they claw to hang on as the toilet is flushed.

Social media with places like Twitter and facebook have made a large impact on general socialization on forums across the web.

That is unless your following the Manwin rules of business which is steal all the content you can, change your name and ask forgiveness.

Maybe you can join Fabian or Stevie Lightspeed in history as industry keynote speakers.
Makes you wonder where AVN's loyalties and business sense truly lies...

I pop in every couple of days or so.

Working working most of the time though.

Several good size projects (100 hours +) going on simultaneously (sp?) so when I am on the boards I am usually tired out and not doing much posting.


Did a lotta lotta jobs but fastfood was never one of them.

Hey everyone, long time no see!

I've been busy making new micro niche sites. Whoever says porn sales are dead don't do niche sites. I started pushing a new sponsor in one small niche and made over 200 bucks per week from that one sponsor the first 2 weeks.

Going to make a dozen more, all niche sites. Or rather key phases inside niche sites. Can't say too much. I've also been busy with lots of mainstream sites. As well as online stores.

In other words diversifying my online portfolio. Going good so far. Just keep building new sites in niches that convert, both in adult and mainstream. And on and on,,,,,

Oh yeah, I have not bought any .xxx names and don't intend too. Nice to see you still here housekeeper!

Hiya Steve! Yeah too bad they closed down cozy. Hope everything is going well with you. Yeah I'm doing pretty good with my online stuff.

In fact I can say that I know HOW to make a lot of money off the web now. The problem is having enough time to make it all happen. It takes so damn much and so long to get all these sites going, damn.

Anyways happy holidays to everyone.

Yup. Ironically the way to make money now in both adult and mainstream is basically the same way. Which is many small niche sites. I was always trying to make just a few big sites, big mistake.

I still have some of those. But with Google no longer playing by their own rules you just can't get a site to rank unless your making G lots of money.

But what do I know, I could be wrong. In fact I encourage all newbies to stick to making one big, gigantic, general site in the niche they like.
