Hmmm.. I understand now....

At least im not being called a SCAMMER in SEVERAL threads.. you stupid son of bitch... you even tried to report it on my back, but nothing happened, because those THREADS DO EXIST.. And I was right...

BTW; Im doing way better than you.. you are only doing 5k per month... and still living with ur mom...

You have 10 million uniques a month now and it has been going up 2 million uniques a month for 6 months.

That means 6 months ago, you was getting minus 2 million uniques a month :upsidedow

it's simple... i had stileproject.com and stilemedia.com. all the videos were hosted in stilemedia.com, and all linked from stileproject.com. stilemedia.com was around #5000 or #6000 on alexa, and stileproject was #10,000. i just merged stilemedia into stileproject.com so everything was under 1 domain instead of just link to the same site on a different domain that had the pics/vids.

then i also switched to flash videos embedded on the site. things just exploded after that :D

two things happened.. 1: i moved hosts and bought 20 new servers. all the money i had went into that. all my old gear was OLD and falling apart/dying.

2: my paysites started doing really crappy the last year so i started giving my biz partner money each month, since he used to just get all the paysite money to cover his salary.

so now i dont have much money left and stuff just started doing good again the last few months. it's kind of like owning a mansion but having no money to buy anything for it :)

i'm sure this has happened to a lot of people. business always has its ups and downs.

Good luck stile, you're an originator in this game.

So your partner was on salary not a % of profits generated by stile ?

So another way to put it your cash poor but equity rich, but unlike a manison thats bricks and will generally hold its vaule, sites go up and down.

Could try selling more ads for more money...

Awesome site, gl stile I'm sure you will get an amazing offer for the site even in this shitty economy.

That's your problem. Not taking time off is very unhealthy. You'll be amazed what a week or two away from everything familiar can do to rejuvenate you.

Looks good man , good luck with this

Houses go up and down nowadays too...

Just a comment.

Egomancer

so not much net earnings left?
to own mansion in this time is no good, since they are on the way for a big price crash.
hopefully you "mansion" could be more sucessfull.

Like others have said, this is a problem. I did the same for a lot of years and shit hit the fan about 2-3 years ago. It's very unhealthy to only work work work without taking a break. Sooner or later, you will NEED to take the break...

Sounds like you just need to hire a good programmer, and maybe 1-2 employees to run the site. Pay them a %, and keep like 50% for yourself and start enjoying life. there's more to life than working and money.

Good luck with the sale and/or find partners :)

I live nowhere near my mother, but thanks for caring so much.

5k a month? Yes thats what I make with referal income off someone.

Why you so cranky? It obviously bothers you.

5k per month is actually pretty good

:2 cents:

for not lifting a finger

but thats beside the point, Lamis thinks adult is dead.

start taking a % from the camwhores tip jar :2 cents: im sure u have alot of girls who use your site for guys to pay for their private cam shows. im sure you could earn an extra grand or 2 a week just from that alone

Something doesnt ad up huh, dumbass.

"Basically, my best friend and sysadmin was offered a huge job at pretty much the coolest tech company out there, and it's something he doesn't want to turn down. He's honestly my best friend and has been running this place with me for almost 10 years. I just can't imagine doing it without him. I wouldn't want to do it without him. We work together like yin and yang.

So I guess I really have no choice but to sell. "

Right there you will scare away many who will think that it takes a rocket scientist to run that site, like many of us at one point or another we had an employee and we thought without him we wont be able to run things right, then we figure out everyone is replaceable and the moment they are not paying for themselves just rid em and you'll be happy.

yes you do have a choice and that is move on without him, everyone can be replaced regardless how great he is.

yes your site is no doubt a net legend and traffic is great but it is july 2009 now people pay for things based on a different formula and that is dollars and cents.

So back in the day it was all about, how much traffic do you get, how many registered users do you have, whats the alexa ranking blah blah.

Now its how much cash does it generate, that will be the deciding factor for 90% of the offer.

So lets do the math:

Dec 2008 Net income:
Jan 09 Net income
Feb 09 Net Income
Mar 09 Net Income
April 09 Net Income
May 09 Net Income

Month to month has it increased in the past 6 month or decreased?

This is true.

My dad used to always say: "Son, no matter how good you are, there is always someone better than you"

Here it is

Lots of jelous and synical bunch of members inside this thread.

He is afraid to not find a new (GOOD) programmer, that keep promises and can work
without dropping off plans.


IS IT SO FUCKING HARD TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES..GFY:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I see what he did there :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

If I was you I'd sell it, buy a few foreclosure properties to renovate and rent out.
You can make a stable monthly income off that and maybe hang onto a few websites if you decided to come back to it later

2 million dollars ??? LOL dude... you are fucking crazy... ur site is very popular here in Saudi. but u r crazy nobody will pay that for an adult site... where do you fucking live?? in a box?? plus i know u r a fucking jew but we still love the site!

adult business is fucking dead... surfers are not so stupid to pay for a site membership if they can get ALL FOR FREE ON RAPIDSHARE, TORRENTS AND FORUMS... YOU ARE INSANE.. do you think people are stupid?? nobody is so stupid to pay 2 million bucks... who the fuck you think you are?? motherfucker... i hate you stupide jew

the most you can get for that shitty site is 10,000 dollars.. all the sites have been losing traffic like mad.. OR thehun.. who gets 5 times less traffic than in 2005...

go fuck yourself and trick your own mom, motherfuker... nobody will pay you that much.. you are insulting us with this stupid idea.

Ignore the dumbfuck, just another fake nick trying to get attention.

is it Apple?

before you go on vacation you should schedule a couple automatic updates so it looks like someones still working on it.

why not partner with someone with existing programmers on staff...like us :)

keep ownership...but share profits...:)

lol no comment :P

yeah im getting an insane number of partnership offers. i will have to go over everything and decide. it wont be easy lol.

YEAH TALK ABOUT IT and i ain't talking about stocks too :321GFY

Man, life's a bitch and then you die they say :disgust

He would never date a FAT PIG like your mom...

Same as a hot girl would NEVER date a FAT PIG like you... :1orglaugh

now go back to your PC and work like a slave to make a few K's per month..

Lamis why dont you tell us how you really feel.

And why you think Adult is dead?


http://jet.li/today.jpg

and by working like a slave do you mean do nothing and watch the signups come in?

OF course that would be my definiation of slavery, since all my sites run themselves

lol

:1orglaugh

thats good one.
but also a really bad sign for our industry.

I up your bid: $10,001 :pimp

If $10k is all it's valued at, I offer $20,000.

are these your stats?

Im sure its just a small part of fris' stats.

I don't believe anyone fucking asked you, asswipe.

Everybody else put your dumbass on ignore ages ago kid.:1orglaugh
