This shows I don't know a lot of people, but what exactly do you do for business. ?

How did you get started in the business?

me and him run the fulton fish market in NYC.

What is your normal daily routine?

:)

What do you think is the best way to make money in this biz with the least possible amount of work involved?

in adult I try to develop sites in niches that are not that popular and market them.

Something smells fishy in that answer.

started in the phone sex business then saw that there is more money in content and you can build a serious affiliate network to help you market so I went after that.

Outside of exclusive content which you have mentioned before... how did you make tushycash the success it is today? What does it take to have a successful program?

how many joins does tushycash do a day?

lol

are you interested in that fitness site i discussed with you nearly a month ago?

have you ever used the fetish content from webmasterparadise?

If you could go back and change anything what would it be?

wake up

check a page that has all my sites in frames to make sure they are up

check stats

check email

check icq

check caller ID

Feed my cat

Eat

Run every few days

Then the fun starts I follow up and work on my business

Eat and Eat more and more

Night I workout 5 times a week

Check stats before going to sleep

and many other stuff

I work about 16+ hours a day

Thoughts on ISPS's in general and the current situation with Ibill and do you feel more programs will be moving to own merchant accounts?

I am a true believer in the honest pay site business model, everything that will make money involves work but the payoff of building a network of members that trust you is amazing.

1.) What niches would you say are underrated today?
2.) How much content would you say should one buy for a paysite in that nice per month?

thank you!
:thumbsup

Oh and what are your plans for the bodyguard domains? :Graucho

I would not be able to build a second site if my first one was not a success, I waited 6 months after launching my first paysite before figuring it out and going on to the next one, its been 18 months and im on my 8th exclusive site.

I give my members niche content, I update weekly.

Yeah someone can build a turnkey site and make a quick buck, but its long term thinking that will let you expand your business.

Whats your biggest source of traffic?
What mistakes have you made in the biz and we can learn from?
One the best thing a person could do for their program?

How much content would you say is...

needed to launch a site...

how much per weekly update

what are your thoughts on plug-in content

what are your thoughts on upsells in the members area?

I think exclusive sites will be getting their own merchant account if they dont have one yet and using it in a cascading fasion.

Its a scary thought, but here is the rule and this rule is never wrong.

In this business or in any business the SECOND you are not getting real answers or you are finding it hard to reach someone you should RUN and think of a backup plan and just move on.

Every disaster in this business had the same flow of events:

Delayed payments (because a bunch of different stories, bank error, visa blame etc)

Announcement that everything is good

Clients saying yeah they are the best

Problem with the company again and this time you cant reach noone easy

More excuses

Then a final email saying we are no longer in business but you can use us to print business cards or somethin

I know ots hard to face facts but in the long run it pays off.

Im not talking about anyone specific just I followed so many companies who went bust from biillers to affiliate programs and they all go the same way, remember the paris hilton payouts and how everyone said dont worry?

lol chamoring and chazarim

Very true :thumbsup

haha, well I guess I have my answer :)

Whats your biggest source of traffic?

TGP/MGP (doesnt mean its bext converting)

What mistakes have you made in the biz and we can learn from?

Tons of mistakes and continue to make mistakes but they get smaller and smaller, using content providers who dont shoot themselves but go to other content providers

Using a host based on price vs. quality

One the best thing a person could do for their program?

Partner and exchange traffic with sites like yours, see people into spanking will join many spanking sites and guess where the best traffic for that will come from, from spanking members areas. It might seem stupid but its far from it.

There is only so much time in the day so do what will convert best even thou the traffic might be low.

What would it take to get you to promote Fastsize.com ?
Been trying to ICQ you forever, I guess I am not on your list. ;)

I launch my sites with 20 sets all exclusive 3 months worth of weekly updates

If its real niche 1 update a week will do, and update pics monday, movies part 1 wed. movies part 2 friday

Plugin content is ok if you dont base your members area on that, meaning as a bonus anything is good

im working on getting it placed on our sites

just been swamped but I see it as a big void in the market, I think I saw a full page ad in muscle and fitness for somethin like it this month but none of the good features you got

Hot. Thanks a lot. If you need anything, including flowers and chocolates let me know.

It does more then people would think, see because im a niche program many people who are not into say medical fetish think noone is into it etc.

Im on my 8th exclusive site in less then about 18 months and I spend over 75k+ to launch each

on my first one I spent way more, guess I learned the hard way

just saw it ill check it out

If you were pretty new and you wanted to make $500 a day starting from scratch, how would you go about doing it?

I asked in another thread but I want to ask you.

With more and more processors going out of business, do you think there is a future in micropayments/payperview?

when it comes to niche sites (teen is not a niche and anal is so common its no longer a niche either) I think that all of them are underrated, when someone is into a certain niche he will join every decent paysite he can find

How important is GFY and other boards to you and your biz?

I love you eb :thumbsup

What products are you currently working with on main stream sites? How would you recommend someone that wants to get into mainstream start out?

well there are tons of people who are or want to be bodyguards, bouncers / doorman, PI's etc by buying the 2 best names for the industry bodyguards.com and SecurityGuards.com my goal is to build a site where people can list themselves for a fee, like a directory.

Plus on sites like these there are many things you can sell, from clothing gear to reselling training videos and classes etc.

And because these sites attract people with money in most cases you can get some high end companies to advertise on it from private jet companies to home safe companies or companies who sell trained k9's etc.

Right now im still at the stage where I am writing it out

You get lots of SE traffic. what is your best term?

even if processors would not go out of business pay per view etc is solid.

Tons of people surfers FEAR the word recurring, maybe they had a bad experience maybe they think its hard to cancel etc.

there is only so much time in the day but one day I hope to make all my exclusive stuff avilable on pay per view.

If you want proof on how much surfers fear recurring try this

Give them 2 options 2 join

24.95 recurring
29.95 non recurring watch a ton of people pick the non recurring even thou they could of just canceled the recurring

I responded in that thread when you asked

What do you see as some good mainstream industries for an SEO to acquire traffic for (other than the typical dating, gambling, pharmaceuticals)? Preferably high profit with existing affiliate programs setup.

Thanks in advance.
WG

oh i didnt see your response. ill go look there now, thanks

interesting idea..... what % that select non recurring do you find joining again for another month, etc and do they select the recurring option the second time around?
