Back then there were already major TPG sites in play and I really had no idea how to compete with those guys. (no submitter programs then) Not to mention the mechanics of setting everything up, managing a server and paying for bandwidth. It's easy now to be critical of decisions made back then with what people know now. For instance, I never even gave webcams a thought back then. I'm not even sure I had an ISP that could handle it. Making thousands of dollars a week, I was even getting shaved every 5th sale and rebill (found this out later). Thought it would never end. $6000 a month and you have to work 40 hrs a week to do wasn't worth it then when there was other ways to make large money. There wasn't any AVN show or webmaster hulabaloos back then, it was every man for himself. Really like the wild west. A lot of you new guys and girls don't realize what those days were like.
I was making that much money as a webcam affiliate! I wanted my own cam site and even asked many of the credit card people around town but they all told me they couldn't process it. I didn't know anything about iBill much less coding, server management etc. Soon after the laws started getting scary so I didn't want anything to do with it anyhow. A lot of the new guys in 2003 didn't have a clue either.

For example you describing creating a porn empire on an AOL email addy back in 2003 really brings out the LOL's when you're asking people to invest under $10k on a cant miss opportunity in 2010.
Dude, I pulled $20,000 per month of off AOL without chat spamming, stealing accounts, etc. Talk all the shit you want but AOL was where everyone with a credit card hung out to talk about sex. You don't know shit.
