I'll talk about what we are doing, some new stuff going on with the program, some strategies or how the leafs can't make a decent playoff run and if they want my contact after that or not is up to them.

I still remember Vegas Ken handing me a card with his animated face on it years ago. Why? because his stood out from the rest.
I suppose if someone were handing out business cards to drunks at a Internet porno convention it might work. But if people remembering anyone is based on a business card card. They had shit to say and sell.

But then look at the business acumen of some here.

epitome I'm retired and the price we sell at is the price the business is now willing to pay for any content. Remember all the money made during the content blow outs period. Or the money Zeemasters made selling CDs of overs from porn shoots? Discounting and selling over and over and over again makes a lot more than selling a set and video to a sponsor once.

When we were shooting we weren't shooting for lame ass sponsors who thought $500 for a solo girl set and a video was a good price. Like so many of the content providers then and today shoot for. Yes these guys work for a price and a deal we blew off.
