my shit is doing alright... I can't complain.
I think most models I meet are not prepared to be webmasters...
and most hooked up with some fan who offered to build them a site, or a wannabe webmaster who figured he would build sites and skim off the total sales of all his girls combined.
of course, both parties think marketing is the other person's job.
Yahoo Groups seem to do shit for conversion, btw. People who want free porn on that level are worse than TGP traffic.
