If your a Struggling Website! - GoFuckYourself.com

Many businesses are constantly looking for ways to operate their business more efficiently or cheaply, and they focus almost exclusively on what's in it for them -- as opposed to what's in it for the customer.

In the realm of the internet, all stores are located side by side, availability is abundant, and that powerful index finger is put to use. In this vast video game we call ecommerce, if you don't give the consumer what they want they will in effect blast you to bits with their mouse by clicking to a competitor.

People! Freinds, Foe's and Colleagues, if you try to do business the old push way and simply focus on what you want and try to jam products or services down the markets throat, then it's bad. In fact, you don't have a prayer of succeeding.

Not only should you respect those all-powerful index fingers, you should intensely observe what they are saying. The feedback loop of the Internet is incredible. It's fast, candid and accurate. Listen to your market and serve their needs. You will convert the index fingers of your market from fingers triggering destruction to fingers triggering sales! Especially in this economic climate. I just read on the news that the Gov does not think unemployment will be below 8 percent nationally until 2015?!?

Convert Liabilities Into Assets! This, I believe, is the most powerful principle in business.
There are many definitions of business, but the one I like the best is that it is essentially a continuous problem solving exercise. Every business encounters a myriad of challenges as it moves forward: What does the market want? What does the market need? How to set pricing? How to handle complaints? How to market effectively? How to handle personnel issues? The list goes on and on.

Solving these problems, meeting these challenges, is at the foundation of building a successful business.

But it's not enough.

The most successful businesses not only handle these problems and challenges as they encounter them -- they convert these potential liabilities into assets by learning macro principals that they can apply moving forward. How do they do this?

They use inductive reasoning, perhaps the most rare and most valuable skill that one can have in running a business. The Webster definition of inductive reasoning is "reasoning from detailed facts to general principles." Inductive reasoning enables you to build a macro structure while responding to micro details.

Using inductive reasoning, you will find that many times a small short-term problem can reveal a large long-term opportunity. Solve the small problems, but in doing so ask yourself how what you have learned can be applied as you move forward. That's inductive reasoning, a powerful way to convert short-term liabilities into long-term assets. Just because this is Adult, it does not really matter, solid business principles, whatever model, can, and will succeed every time.

And for the love of God, Affiliate Programs, color correct your fucking pictures!!! OMG, how is someone going to drop 29.95 per month for green, red or yellow fucking tinted pics, seriously! And the days of 320X240 pixel window sized video has left the building so to speak. People should be ashamed they still have this shit in your members area.

I have been joining lot of boards and forums as of late, expanding my market as far as digitaldivasonline.com as well as my foot and pantyhose site and these people talk! Man, I tell you, they have destroyed websites and bitched up one side and down the other as far as sites that offer xsells, hidden shit or shit content. It is great knowledge to have. But I do feel that Adult webmasters that are not actively engaging their audiences are slowly killing themsleves, both in brand marketability as well as long term profitability.

Ok, now back to DRAMA, WORLDS TALLEST BUILDING AND SHOULD I CHEAT OF MY GIRLFRIEND THREADS.

But seriously, if your a program owner and are struggling, your not alone. Hopefully this continuing "reality check" will perhaps bring back a sense of community that the online biz had years ago. Probably not, but it would be cool if it did...
