Of course a sponsor from 1999, can tell me to do so, because he has his paysites since 1999, he's already in. He has nothing to lose.

But I'm sure that same guy would not start a sponsor from ZERO in year 2012. And when I say from ZERO, I say from ZERO.

A clear example of someone who went INTO the GAME and OUTSIDE the GAME exactly at the right time, is SHAP. That guy is a TRUE BUSINESS GUY and deserves some respect.

Period.
Shap built from a low position, buying content from Matrix. When that was an acceptable source for paysite content

He got to a height, where he could of diversified out of online porn, so did he?

And with all his business skills, could he of started in 2008 and rose the same way?

It takes far more then business skills to rise in an established industry. You need raw talent, money, backing and a variety of skills.

Could Larry Page and Sergey Brin build a successful SE today?
Could Mark Zuckerberg build a successful social Network today?
Could Manwin become the success they are today, without a massive amount of money?

No, no and no.

Can a newbie rise to a $120,000 income today without something very special to offer that's not done by 10,000 others?

Could I become a successful shooter, starting with the budget and skills I had in 1977? Not a chance.

Seriously I don't know why some people here hate you. Although I can admit that some of your posts may be a little noisy, if people know to read carefully between lines you are giving quite some great advice in other posts. And I'm not talking specially about this post I'm quoting, but about many others you did and people just don't understand and attack you.
If you see who the haters are, you understand why many of them hate me.
