I have built an run a couple of sites over the last 4 years, and its alot of work. ICQ me if you want to pick my brains.

Sure I'd like to icq you and pick your brain if I can
i spent the past year building up a niche gay dating site from scratch and im up to 19k members with $0 on advertising, but im involved in that community so it was easy to spread the word. But its such a small niche I cant make good money from it. I keep the site free and only charge $5/month if they want videos and theyre so cheap they complain about that!
so I made this straight so I can have the potential to make more money to a way bigger audience and at a higher price point.
