I've been telling them for nearly a decade that putting up shit sites that in the very best years only converted 2% of porn surfers and solving it by spending more on more crap free content wouldn't work long term.

Was I right?

Relax paul, you gotta know by now I love yanking your chain ;)

Was so long ago, owed me a bit as a refund because i overpaid in your system or something. I don't need it, hell it was so long ago I don't care.

You really crack me up Paul! My designer put a couple of paid for pics of your content on 1-2 of the tour pages he did from my members areas, and thats all you got on me. Seriously mate .. you really are clutching at straws if thats the best you can come up with. ;)

I think the thing is that when we are being honest, you definitely know more than most of us about shooting your brand of amateur style lightspeed similar content. We get it .. you have a paysite or two built from your content, we get it you run a small revshare program, but you are not this all knowing super marketer webmaster guru you make yourself out to be. You are some bloke who clicks a camera who hires someone to run a website for you. :)

That sums him up in total and he...apparently...does not have much to show for his 33 years of effort.

= Lying

did you post that your site was getting charge backs due to you buying cheap content that had been sold a lot?

Lightspeed copied my style, like so many teen sites then and now. It's flattering.

Yes we employed 2 full time programmers, they were cheap enough even then. And had 2 full time shooters, besides Eva and I and a 3500 sq ft studio. Not bad for a guy who doesn't know much.

If you think clicking a camera is shooting porn you're more stupid than I thought.

Go rattle Damian's chain, he's an easy target, being a failure. He will respond a lot better with shit, I respond with the truth.

You failed at porn and had to move to running a Tube site which also failed and then probably sold my content which you weren't allowed to, so a scammer as well.

And now you're a scammer.

You sold Titan Bucks and included in that sale our content. Which you had only licensed, so not able to sell content or transfer the license. You never contacted me to ask me, not got the new buyer to do the same. I will assume you did the same with other peoples non exclusive content.

Proof.

http://paulmarkham.com/temp/titanbucks.jpg

Yes the new owners are using our content. And therefore you're a proven scammer.

And they are using it in the affiliates area. So not on the site as you said. I sent the new owners an email and will keep your ICQ.

Now you know I bite back with the truth. :mad:

yes, Paul, YOUR content is crap and doesn't sell. see, Paul does know something.

true. if he still had any of his money from the glory days he wouldn't be trolling here several hours a day and posting thousands of words a day. he'd be enjoying his life. unfortunately, after 33 years, he is still required to troll gfy for new customers every day and he will have to do that until he's dead.

after only 8 years in the business, i have half a mil in my retirement fund, 2 houses paid off, over 100 rai of land, and a few cars. no debt. after 33 years, i will be way the fuck away from this computer and enjoying my days on the front porch.

tell us more about how amazing you are Paul :1orglaugh:1orglaugh
.

Idiot. Tell the magazines buying our content it wasn't any good. As one of the few content stores left, we must have done something right.

It's because I have enough to retire on and have done. That I can spend so long here. :upsidedow

"100 rai of land" You bought land in Thailand. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

1/2 mill in Thailand, would of seen you gone years ago. :1orglaugh

Go sell your dreams to others, we're not buying.

magazines are worth less than your diapers.

obviously you don't know what it costs to retire or you wouldn't be laughing - and you would be retired. but you aren't retired so stop trying to bullshit us. if you were truly retired, and not STILL dependent on income from your meager assets, you would be a ghost here and your shitty little content business would be closed.

after 33 years in business you still rely on current income. that's not retired and that's no dream of mine.

yes i have 100 rai in Thailand (maybe a bit more this year) and half a million in my RETIREMENT FUND (not liquid, genius). i'm not selling dreams, you are. read the garbage you write (and write and write and write). i'm just pointing out facts.

15-20 years from now i don't want to turn on a computer for any reason. i just want to watch the rice grow. THAT is retired, old man.:321GFY

.

It's very flattering that so many think I missed out by not opening a paysite earlier. And not learning webmastering and marketing online better.

Obviously they are saying my content is outstanding and if I had only opened a paysite I would be as rich as possible. Not like them, broke trolls.

plsureking has bought himself a rice farm.

Damian is living in a rented tip, which he says he moved out of. But who knows with that guy.

Sausage had to get out of porn and sold off his sites. With my content in it, so a broke scammer.

theking :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

12clunks tried mainstream and couldn't hack it so came back to porn to watch it decline.

Yes If I had only opened a site and learned how to be a webmaster. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Of course I could of just opened a site and paid these clowns 60% to do what they do best and send traffic. But they're to blind to think of people who employs others to do jobs they can't be asked to do. Guess it shows they live in their back bedroom punching away like keyboard warriors. Boosting each other egos.

plsureking must hate his job to think I would retire early. He works on a keyboard in his back bedroom, I did this for a living and a very good one. :thumbsup

Old pics, but you get the idea. And yes I troll GFY. Better than chasing bar girls in Thailand.

but the problem is paul, and why so many people don't like you is because you talk about your "4rd level of earning" sites a LOT on here and how you have the answers to fix free porn, fight tube sites, that other membership sites are doing it wrong etc.. and you are way out in left field with your ideas. You should stick to giving advice on shooting porn.

Cliff notes?

Did you copy AlienQ ?

Well at least I try to come up with solutions rather than add to the problem.

There is no "Fix" to free porn. Except for a few to create sites that are far better than the rest. Free porn = Marketing = Stupid.

Tubes as well. They are all here to stay. Just for a few sites today because the market is crap and the rest can't afford it and pay for all the free porn they give away, does that make it free or paid for?

But think about having 100 sites that are a real cut above the 1,000s of others. Didn't need tons of traffic, it's content made people sit up and take notice and members stayed longer.

Would that be a better site than one with content that wasn't special, needed ton of traffic and retention was poor?

Well how do you achieve such a site?

paul there are high quality sites with amazing retention. surely you must be aware of them as a master of all that is porn?

i'm falling asleep here.

Paul you don't have enough money to retire. Plain fucking fact. Earlier you said half a million is more than enough to retire on, so you don't even know how much it takes to retire. You are a broke working troll and will be until you die. I didn't cause that, I just called it.

If you truly didn't need the income from your job - the definition of retired - you would shut your business down and do something rewarding with your time. Or at the very least you would spend your online time in a more enthusiastic and optimistic forum. No one hangs out on gfy if they are "retired". They chat with their friends and ignore the rest. Look around -- Do you see any of the rich retired mofos hanging out? Fuck no.

My logic is sound and it defines you as a broke working troll. I'm very sorry for calling you out like that.

awaiting the next bullshit all-knowing response...

.

Paul's lying about writing a PDF about porn.

Then he said you can't learn a thing from books.

Especially porn.

Then he lied pretending he had a publisher for it (LOL!).

Then most people realised he's just lying again.

HTH

Damian

Paul, I tried years ago to talk to you about these topics. I gave good advice, as did others and provided why your ideas were not good. You don't listen, it's pointless to go over it all again.

the funny thing is you are worst than paul. Paul is.... well Paul. He is old and can't help being himself. You on the other hand are not only retarded but you spend all your time obsessing about Paul. What is worst then being Paul... obsessing about Paul.

Careful there...

Leave Paul Alone!

THIS IS ENTIRELY ABOUT 2000 AND NOT ABOUT 2011, IT'S TO LATE TO PUT THE MILK BACK IN THE BOTTLE.

Of course I know some of them and know they exist. Would you like there to be more?

Because that's what all you are arguing AGAINST. You seem to think having more top quality sites, or raising the quality of those top quality sites even higher is wrong. And that rise in quality costing the site owner LESS on his content budget.

If a site, no names, had come to a long time successful professional content producer and made him an offer he couldn't refuse. This would of been the result. A person with many years experience producing content for the top markets would of taken over the content side of the company.

The choice of who to choose for this job would depend on the sites style, niche and action. Bang Bus would of gone to a Gonzo producer, Twistys to a Playboy style shooter, ATK to someone like me. Not me someone in the US. I'm not an outstanding shooter in the magazine or DVD market. I'm one of 100s. So lots of guys to choose from.

The boss of the site could then, leave the content side of the company to an employed person or partner and got on with the marketing of the site, programming, design, etc. Jobs he was probably better at.

The new content director would of looked after the content side of the business. Including selling the content offline. So his extra costs would of come out of these sales. His position would of actually resulted in content costing the site less or the site having more and better content. A good stills shooter with access to good models who aren't shot to death is very capable of producing 100 sets a year that will sell for $300,000 in revenue to mags. Non-exclusive. The same goes for DVD production.

The result would be far better content, better traffic, better conversions and better retention = More $$$$$$$$ for everyone.

No we, with a few exceptions as Agent pointed out, went down the route of paying as little as possible for content. Then as much as possible for traffic, because ratios and retention sucked. Sponsors were asking guys to shoot exclusive sets for $150, sets and videos for $300 and still looking for a deal. While paying out 50% to 70% or high PPS amounts to get a sale and giving the affiliates every tool they possibly could, spending a lot on promoting to affiliates and supporting them. Because the site needed a ton of traffic to make a sign up.

Now you're all able to look at it with the benefit of hindsight. Would my route of meant more better sites or less?

Yes people did come to me with offers. Two of the biggest programs and one of the biggest whales. Their offers were stupid. Like shoot exclusive for us and we will pay you $50,000 a year, type offer. When I told them to treble the offer and told them how it would work by selling to mags or DVD. They were more interested in having exclusive poor content to give to affiliates than sell to markets that were clearly ignoring the Adult Internet. :upsidedow

For the ten years online I've argued that some sites could of had better content. Which would of led to more profit. For 10 years trolls have told me I'm wrong.

*************************

will76 you're assuming I thought your ideas were worth listening to. Just because you speak doesn't mean it's something I think is worth listening to. Did anyone else listen?

Paul, the shoe will be on the other foot when u try to find buyers for your book. i doubt more than 5 people will think its "worth listening to".

i, for one, hope u sell thousands, so u can finally save up enough to retire and get off the boards. you don't have very many fans here. u just annoy people. that can't be the way you want to spend your golden years.

:2 cents:

I hope it will sell, but if it doesn't it's a nice thing to put everything down that I've learnt over the years.

As for retiring. I had more than enough to retire to Thailand in 1998. Planned to do it in 2000 when I would of been 50.

Met Eva, fell in love, got married and the rest is history. She's not the kind of girl to sit on a beach for long.

Like getting fans on GFY is an achievement. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Go set your goals higher.

funny how dim-witted people respond to an argument with the original argument. i am not trying to win fans, you are. i don't write 10,000 words a day on gfy, you do.

you are a 60-year old broke geriatric patient. it is sad but its not my problem. trying to insult me won't change your pathetic predicament.

retirement means not having to chase a buck all day. it doesn't matter where you retire, or how many dependents you have to pay for, as long as you can afford to do it. and you cannot.

i dont care what you had nearly 15 years ago. it only matters what you have today (and tomorrow). there's hundreds of thousands of guys near-retirement who lost their entire savings over the last 2-3 years. should they all come to gfy and talk about how cool they were 2 decades ago? will that help them retire? i think not.

if you had enough to retire in Thailand in 1998, you would be out of money now. the baht is different now than it was in 1998 and costs are higher. a lot of the old guys who did retire here last century have had to go home and get jobs because of economic conditions and the baht (and especially the pound). learn about inflation if you ever plan to actually retire.

you think i should retire now since i have half a million in my retirement fund. thats the kind of thinking that would see me broke like you in less than 10 years. i have to cover my wife and kids long after i die. that's nearly 100 years of coverage and will take $2 million+. the fact that you don't know how much it costs to retire shows that you don't know shit about retirement - and you are definitely not retired.

you need that meager income from your sites and stores to pay your bills and feed your wife. at 60+, that's pretty fucking sad. all you do is talk about the past - as if that is going to somehow support you in the future.

reply with more smilies, but the facts are not changing. unfortunately, you will still be slinging the same bullshit here in 5 years, still pretending to be retired. a little humility would go a long way...

.

Funny thing is you don't understand worse and worst mean different things!

Anyhoo, how did your plagiarism project work out?

Absolutely. This is why I challenged the coward to put the (entirely ficticious pdf (do stop calling it a book)) on scribd or something where the number of downloads will be publicly available.

He ignored that clear and simple challenge.

Probably because the whole idea of the pdf is a lie.

No way! She's too busy making cups of tea and answering the phone in her new job.

Three words: Magic Join Pages.

When someone is telling you about how great their site is converting and their join pages don't even work, well, that tells you everything you need to know.

When it comes to being stupid you're second to none. No wonder you have to sell your domains. you can't afford to renew them. :1orglaugh

If you do a search here http://www.gfy.com/search.php?searchid=3735556

You'll find some of the articles I've written over the years. They form the basis of the E Book. I have no need to show it here yet. And no need to prove to you anything. The proof that you're a liar is already out there. More will come soon, just booked the model and location for the fictitious $3,000 shoot. $3,000 for a few hours work, feels like the old days. :thumbsup

Eva does make tea and answer the phone in her new job. What will you do in yours, flip burgers? :1orglaugh

Quoth the man who claimed you could learn nothing from books. In a thread about a made up book he pretends he is writing.

Zounds, irony!

a) More irony. Nothing there. You are so shit at the internet.

b) Articles suggests someone asked you to write them, like the GFY educational series I was invited to contribute to (and you weren't for SOME reason!). I imagine they were just posts.

c) I bet they all say you are great, everyone else is an idiot for selling exclusive, that DVDs and mags were awesome and that you are really rich.

I'm not asking for proof, love. How can you prove something I know doesn't exist?

There is no ebook. There is no publisher. You are a liar. Simples.

Well, not really. There's proof you got annoyed with me.

You have no proof I've lied. Where as you have a demonstrable track record. AND you think it's funny. And you do it to promote your old content.

/me shakes head.

Can't wait to see it!

*wink wink*

I thought you said you forced her out to work because she was bored and needed stimulation? You think making tea will do that?

Sad how you value your 'wife' so little. You seem to value her even less than the money you paid for her.

Does the marriage agency get a cut of her salary?

Hopefully I will not sound like Paul when/if I get old...

man thats all there is to say, really. lol

.

I said the same about my Dad. :1orglaugh

When you've been there, done it and have the scars to prove it you speak with hindsight.

I said 10 years ago that putting up cheap sites and spending as much as possible on traffic was bad a long term business plan. I was told my brand of teen porn wasn't what they wanted. Was told that I was clueless and the surfers wanted cheap porn and traffic was king.

Now we have sites like Brazzers, Twistys, Only Tease and tons and tons of teen sites that look exactly like we shot. Ex GF sites can only pay crap for content. Well it's crap to my thinking.

Traffic isn't king, getting 1-5,000 to buy something is king. If you need 5,000 porn surfers, not clicks on a banner, to get a sign up the product is wrong.

Even the best sites and affiliates ratios are lucky to convert at 99.5%. That's 499 people saying no thank you.

And a lot of those who told me I wouldn't last. Didn't last and are long gone. :1orglaugh

in this thread there are the absolute worst pics I saw in my life ... until now, of course.

STOP THE PRESS?

Are you suggesting spending money on content is important?

You should have fucking said!

LOL you don't know what plagiarism means, dumb ass. You have proof that I committed plagiarism as you are implying here? nope, then shut the fuck up. thanks.

Looks like Paul just got hired by Sally Rand and his boyfriend.


http://www.teamclickcash.com/funny/paul_sallyrand.jpg

Paul is shooting all of Marion's new porn stuff.

Oh THAT explains this clip of him on saw on Cam4! .. interesting

http://bladewire.com/PMdiaper.jpg

Pauls continuing breakdown live on GFY. Entertaining thats for sure

If you can afford $3,000 a solo girl scene yes hire me. If you want me to work for peanuts, fuck off. I can earn more shooting weddings.

Can I have some of these images please? They funny and very good.
