Press Release: What happened to Homegrown Video?
 
This is a story of endurance on a path beset by tremendous hazards and overwhelming obstacles and how that journey eventually led to a land of innovation. Along the way, villainous companies of evildoers had to be vanquished; mountains of hassles had to be climbed, where navigating back from turns wrongly taken developed keener survival instincts, and finally brought Homegrown Video to a unique and solitary place, well positioned once again to grow, prosper, thrive as the innovators they have always been at heart. Equal parts cautionary tale, self help guide, and survival manual, the emergence of Homegrown Video back from the depths of money pit lawsuits and the mires of programmer hell to re-establishing itself as one of the most unique programs in the adult market is nothing less than epic.

http://peek.homegrownvideo.com/press...rextricero.jpg

At the end of a long slog of a fight on two fronts against gigantic foes with $100 million dollar war chests, Homegrown Video was not left with not much more than a loyal membership base, an enduring brand name, and a long suffering but dedicated staff. Feeling the pangs of a major recession long before the rest of the world, Homegrown Video had to look on while other programs came up full of hot air and often went down in flames. Left with only the tattered remains of any sort of affiliate program, Homegrown had to rebuild from the ground up. A couple of failed ?out of the box? solutions only proved to slow recovery rather than hasten success. Finally, the company was left with no choice but to create a fireproof program that was tailored to the next generation of affiliates.

http://peek.homegrownvideo.com/pressrelease/battle.jpg

Painstakingly addressing the major issues affiliates had with existing programs, Homegrown inovated a method whereby affiliates no longer had to worry about changing links by creating a patent pending dynamic linking tool that removed any hassle forever more. Then, to further improve the lot of affiliates, Homegrown Video offered a price system that allowed affiliates to regulate the cost of memberships to satisfy and convert their traffic best. Combining this feature with the ability to change the tour dynamically and utilizing another tool that allows A/B testing now places Homegrown Video in the hallowed halls of industry innovators. From this place, Homegrown Video is now poised to claim a unique place in the adult market space.

http://peek.homegrownvideo.com/pressrelease/MLcover.jpg

Resourceful and eager to prosper, Homegrown Video has been cautious about whom and how many could take part in its new program; albeit a conservative approach, this has provided a solid foundation for expansion. At last, the time has come, the gates to the fortress can be opened and new affiliates allowed in for sharing the fruits of Homegrown?s labor. Interested parties my contact [email protected] to learn more about the company Newsweek Magazine declared is the ?longest running series in the history of porn?, and about which US News stated ?made by the people for the people, Homegrown Video represents the democracy of porn?.

Way awesome, Farrell! I'm only too honored to work at such a great place.

Homegrown Video is here to stay!! Not many other sites out there can brag AVN Awards, mentions in Newsweek and US News magazines, and accolades by both Hustler and Playboy. We're kicking ass and bringing the brand name forward into the 21st century and it's a great accomplishment for all of us. :thumbsup

Just an FYI.

Unique means one of a kind. A thing can't be "most unique" or "very unique", it's either unique or it isn't.

lol, you are correct - and as a lit major I should've known better when I was writing it... Let's just say that out of all those that claim to be unique that we in fact actually are unique... and forget "most" or "very" since everyone claims to be those.

But a snowflake is unique, and it's still just a snowflake, while a one-eyed dog with human legs would be really unique :winkwink:

Cliff Notes: Life was hard while we battled Acacia and a certain internet company which will go un-named simultaneously but we survived and kept working hard and now we are ready to have fun and do biz with the people that want to work with a company that has proven to be durable... and unique. :winkwink::thumbsup

munki 04-17-2009 09:45 AM

Yes, very extremely unique. The most unique company ever.
Incredibly unique. Uniquely unique in ways others can only dream of.

We set a policy a year ago that everyone in the company was to use Skype to converse and not any other IM.. Farrell is the only one who hasn't followed it. Always the rebel! :helpme

Only if you include how many times I have fantasized about having sex with her. I think you are thinking of another girl named "Daphne" that was sort of similar in the sense of being an all natural, non typical porn girl... whom I shot with as many times as possible back in the day.

We have had a lot of great models come in from San Diego over the years. We always considered being out of the LA scene an asset since we diminished the rut of shooting talent that was basically working on auto pilot after shooting once or twice in the Porn Valley scene. :thumbsup
