So please, if you are seriously interested, send me an email, and I will open further dialogue with you. Otherwise, please refrain from blindly denouncing me when you don't even know my business plan. Thank you.

Rule #1: Don't take anything posted here seriously. (Which also explains the reaction to your post.)

Anyone who takes anything posted here seriously, or any forum for that matter, needs to turn off the pc, take a break, get some fresh air and get their perspectives straight.

There are representatives of large companies here, including the two you have mentioned. They haven't posted so far, and they probably won't, it will just be a bunch of people who don't have $200k to spare anyway, so you'll do better trying to contact the big boys directly. Likewise other major players. It shouldn't be too difficult to get a contact at different places who will pass it up the chain, if you're serious.

Good luck. And remember, this forum is 99.9% trolling/fucking with each other.

(Which you'll know, if this thread is BS.)

Good luck.

I personally don't loan money to individuals that aren't within choking distance.

HS808- thank you for your sensible advice.

you're going to have to provide more information than you're providing.
I'd love to go into more detail privately but too bad there's no PM function here. So yeah I know its weird to just slap a gmail address on my posts but its what the limited circumstances dictate.

In only months you will have made $3,000,000 from $200,000? Is that all? :1orglaugh

So you want to blow someone else's money. Got it.

I seriously think it's the second-coming of YesSignals even your premise of not selling porn but using it is exactly the premise of YesSignals.

I understand why you won't describe your product or service. Not clear why you won't post a general CV.

Give people some confidence that you have the skills to recognize and develop a great idea and are capable of knowing how well it will do and how to monetize it.

What experience do you have in starting a business, what about predicting sales, revenues and profits?

What skills do you bring to the deal?

You need to provide more than "I know I can do this".

What's your location? And I do believe that poor people come up with the most innovative ideas as I was there once... Rich people do the same everyday...

Did you really tell the bank you were doing adult? Avoid the word adult/porn and they will be more than happy to help you.

What happened to real estate back in '03-'08 is happening at the banks for businesses. I just financed $50K USD worth of production equipment with no income requirement.

It's crazy right now. For example, if you served in the military, there is $40K USD ($30K cash and $10K on the card) waiting for you, no credit required. Only requirement is that you do not have a criminal record. If you have military friends that trust you, get 5 or 6 of them together to fund you.

Not a good idea to borrow from the one type of person who really will kill you when you just burn through the cash having fun.

Do you have a business plan? If so, send an NDA at [email protected]

k0nr4d 10-13-2012 03:43 AM

Unless you found a way to inhale or inject porn somehow...

Ignore most of the haters in here, there is a lot of people that consider them self highly successfully for making 5-10K / month as an individual... It provide a good lifestyle but not enough to really scale any business which is why they see this kind of posts as stupid... Most of these people will be gone in 2-3 years...
Follow your goal and always remember its not a failure to admit what areas you need help with and what areas you are the expert in... Nobody can do everything on their own..
Good luck !!

Hundreds of thousands of dollars to mostly produce porn that can't be done half way. Is this some sort of never ending human centipede porn video that can't be interrupted

lucas131 10-13-2012 05:16 AM

you see avn is interested, go with them, thread closed :)
