Is the teen niche becoming oversaturated?
What is the most profitable niche in the adult industry and why?

Damn.. Almost forgot her name.

Where she at now days?

cosis · 12-20-2004, 11:46 AM

do you like beemk?

ry0t · 12-20-2004, 11:46 AM

Thanks a lot Steve I'd like to take this oppurtunity out of your busy schedule (and mine) to ask a simple question since it relates to how I film. The question is, when you have a new girl do you pay her the day rate per shoot plus give her a % of the site? I ask because the single girl site I'm filming for and hope to be live soon I'm paying the girl per shoot money also giving her a % of the site. In the future I hope to pay girls either one or the other but depending on your answer it could be different.

Niko Bimini · 12-20-2004, 11:46 AM

VanessaG · 12-20-2004, 11:50 AM

Should I move to Arizona?
Is it a good place to live?

boneprone · 12-20-2004, 11:51 AM

Another question..

Remember when you were still a bright eyed bushy tailed just starting out when you came to Portland..

And when we were walking the waterfront you knew you were going to get big someday.. Real big..

We walked the saturday market and you were just full of ideas.

Tons of em.. And you were very passionate about them all.

I knew from that day on that you'd be where you are today.

Never had I met someone with so much vision and passion as you.

People with ideas are a dime a dozen..

People with the passion and the drive to make those ideas into reality and then some are a rare breed.

You are one of them.

Do you remeber that portland trip??

The Birth of the Anal Hobbit trip??

For me, that trip was more than just the birthing of the Anal Hobbit fuckaround, it was sort of the birth of lightspeed for me..

From that day on, all you did was evolve and grow..

People didnt like you... I remember it well. Others did...

I hope you still remeber the people who liked you when you were small, and the people who like you now..

ANd never forget the people who hated you when you were small, and kiss your ass now that you are big..

Anyhow, I was a big fan from the start..

Not really a question for ya, just a walk down memory lane for me here.

You've come a really long ways.. Proud of ya.. Very impressive.

Manowar · 12-20-2004, 11:51 AM

What age did you become able to retire and not worry about money any more if you wanted to ?

sickkittens · 12-20-2004, 11:53 AM

Will you donate money to me?

Samantha_Luvcox · 12-20-2004, 11:56 AM

How do you figure the Math for a good affiliate program without shaving? Figuring in the costs of operation, Model fees, Credit card % (Average 13 to 14% off the top of the signup) Employees etc. When it's all said and done what is the realistic % thats actually left.

Also, since some of the check programs are now 50% off the top for a signup, how do you work them into an affiliate program?

Jman · 12-20-2004, 11:57 AM

Why did you leave me for a women ?

xNetworx · 12-20-2004, 12:27 PM

Will you be adding hardcore solo girl sites?
Do exclusive modeling "contracts" really hold up?
What are you going to do with a site when it's model gets too old looking?

Cory W · 12-20-2004, 12:28 PM

Can I have 5 minutes with the Lightspeed dog?

And I want to expand upon that with my first )compound) question:

How go you manage to get it all done, and what tips do you recommend to others to succeed?

Ryan · 12-20-2004, 12:50 PM

Do I get a christmas bonus this year for designing sites that make you and all your webmasters so much money? hahaha

raster · 12-20-2004, 12:55 PM

This is going to be an interesting thread.

1. How much money (gross & net) does your top solo girl site make per month.

2. What is your compensation package for the girls that sign on for a solo website.

3. Can I get an autographed photo

polish_aristocrat · 12-20-2004, 12:56 PM

What's the average retention for your sites for full price monthly joins?

NickPapageorgio · 12-20-2004, 12:57 PM

What is it like to actually wipe your ass with $20 bills?

polish_aristocrat · 12-20-2004, 12:58 PM

Or another question - do all your Lightspeed sites combined get 1000 joins daily - yes or no?

GotGauge · 12-20-2004, 12:58 PM

You going to do something special for your top 10 affiliates of the 2004 year?

NickPapageorgio · 12-20-2004, 01:01 PM

In all seriousness. What would your suggestion be for a designer to catch the eye of a progam owner such as yourself? What do you guys look for in a designer?

PersianKitty · 12-20-2004, 01:06 PM

Boxers or Briefs?
Paper or Plastic?
Dine in or Take Out?

Dax · 12-20-2004, 01:09 PM

Are you gonna answer any of these questions?

shuki · 12-20-2004, 01:11 PM

Some really interesting things already asked as well as some very nice comments from Boneprone. Here are my questions.

1. Do you shoot bulk content of your girls in order to have peace of mind and efficiency for updates or do you have pre scheduled appointments with your girls on a recurring basis.

2. If you were starting from scratch with the intention of being the number 1 guy in any niche what would you need to have to get the job done. Example specific type of server with x amount of bandwidth, Nats, special scripts, photo and video equipment etc.

polish_aristocrat · 12-20-2004, 01:13 PM

And my third and final question..... does it happen that some people join your sites ( usuaully that means they buy the full membership ) and they expect hardcore in your members area....and then they get upset?

Isn't that an issue that can significantly increase refunds and charge backs in a softcore solo girl site like yours?

Huggles · 12-20-2004, 01:17 PM

What is your biggest headache in this business?

RyuLion · 12-20-2004, 01:20 PM

Do you use DRM on your vids? If not why not?
Do you think a potential member will not join if they see that a license is being used?
What password protection software do you use?
I need one for my sites..!

Thanks,

are you going to awnser any of these qs?

Dcat · 12-20-2004, 01:31 PM

Hi Steve, thanks for the opportunity.

A few Q's for ya ..

1) What aspect of online marketing has given you the greatest return on your investment in terms of traffic and/or sales?

2) Good people are the lifeblood of any successful organization. How do you personally go about hiring good employees? Are there any "secrets" or "tips" (you've learnt over time) to hiring and retaining the best people?

3) What aspects of your business do you personally focus on? What areas do you delegate out?

cfU · 12-20-2004, 01:36 PM

What is your full name, address, American Express number,
and cvv2 of course.

Trixxxia · 12-20-2004, 01:37 PM

How active were you in marketing your sites when you started? (was there an affiliate program from the beginning?)
How long did it take for your business to become profitable?
Were there any failures/losses/setbacks before your business started to boom? (if yes - enlighten us on a few)

Thanks for the Q period!

nnweb · 12-20-2004, 01:38 PM
