No wonder we all have as much competition as we do.
 

Some new TOOL wants into the adult industry....posts a thread here with questions.
And VOILA everyone jumps in and in detail explains how they should set everything up.

We wouldent want professionals that actually did the research, nono :Oh crap

This place is like a fast food joint for how to peddle porn and dip into the shrinking margins :upsidedow

cause most people here are idiots

most people here seem to have a need to come across as smarter than anyone else, with all the answers, etc.

look at all the *everyone is an idiot but me* posts.

that's why i stopped trying to engage people in debate/discussion. they are more interested in showing how smart they are, not in having back & forth dialogue.

i guess not many aggree huh

More affiliates attracting and pushing more traffic is a good thing.

Well adult boards are supposed to be for sharing knowledge. Each of us shares what he wants. A lot of people will give what they think is the right information and try to help you out, many others will just blow steam up your ass. It's not like starting a thread here and asking some questions is going to make you an expert. That person will still have to do a lot of research if he wants to make any money.

like most people are actually going to do any work. i wouldn't worry about it.

it's true, but it still makes no sense to give ammunition to your competition :2 cents:

People who start threads like this have nothing better to do and have huge inferior complexes.

This is an adult network board, where those in the adult biz share and communicate with one another.

There is another thread very similar, about guys who brag about what they have.
Yes there are those who have multi-million dollar homes and Bugatti's. YOU DONT SO GET OVER IT!

Tiger Woods is a better golfer than you will ever be, get over it already!

Quoted for emphasis. :2 cents:

Truth is I can give someone my entire business plan or even create one from scratch that will generate not only a profit but a living and still 90% or more will still fail.

Someone posts questions instead of researching. Oh wait, asking questions is researching.

Or maybe no-one should ever publish any answers anywhere, that way we get no new people to network with, trade with, do biz with, or any of that annoying shit that gets in the way of all that money falling from the sky into our laps.

Good plan :thumbsup

I'll take any newb under my wing these days .. the more the merrier are my thoughts .. hell we should all be teaching newbs everything we can .. with todays economy and piracy rampant .. anyone with any knowledge at all should be teaching everything we can to anyone who asks questions .. hell who knows maybe someday one of these "newbs" will come up with something to get us ALL back in the game ..

Fucking spot on.

See... in the end it still takes WORK and MONEY to make money in this industry... some newbies get it and some don't.... at the end of the day, it's all just fucking around.

spoken from the perspective of a paysite sponsor :2 cents:

Exactly.
:2 cents:

It doesn't matter what you're saying or what information you're revealing, all that matters is the person you're relaying that information to. Those who are going to be successfull in this are going to do what they need to do regardless.

You're seriously think this is why you have shrinking margins? Shut up and get to work.

*thinking

I periodically mention that we should have a board that deliberately provides helpful, but wrong, answers to n00b posts. Members get voted up the more (believable) shit they spin.

sometimes the advice given here is awesome, but it also takes a smart person to take those words and do something with them..

:2 cents:

Not worried about competition here. Besides, a little competition can be a good thing.

Despite what I did say above, I give out info all of the time. I really do hope people succeed. Every so often they are even grateful and do not forget that you were the person that did it for them.

Wish we had post ratings... that would seperate the bullshit from the good stuff.

You hit the nail on the head... thats what got all where are at today... GREED for money, traffic, information etc and look where that got us :disgust

New brains = new ideas :2 cents:

It's plain stupid to think that not passing on information is ever going to help this industry either. This is more than likely one of the causes - misinformation and closing doors on potential.

I guarantee 99.9% of the new guys don't make a single sale.

I would love for you to explain how this is. Because after years of increasing the number of affiliates sales and surfers to paysites are falling.

No one is getting more traffic today unless they run a Tube site and the sales off them suck. Disregarding dating and webcam sites.

Spot on. I'm always more than willing to share any thing I can that might help someone. I guess I came in during the 90's when people actually did this (worked together). Course I have no clue what I'm doing, so any advice I may give needs to be taken with a grain of salt as I can only speak from personal experience and said advice's mileage will vary.

for the truth:warning

discussing how to improve conversions or legal issues is probably good for everyone...

but to discuss traffic sources is just dumb, each traffic source has finite amount of traffic, more people that start using that traffic source the less there is for everyone else... :2 cents:

Yep....They are too busy bumping 6 month old threads.
