You win the price for bring the most ignorant idiot pretending to be in the business.

Holding yourself to your own standart, you know nothing about selling porn online, because you never made a real profit (you public company records show it) and yet you spend most your time here running your stupid mouth... Broke ass troll. You should stick to counting your foodstamps

Second, many on this board know who I am and what I do, as I have done business with them.. Just because YOU don't, doesn't mean I refuse to tell people what I do.

I have said many times what I do on this board, maybe you should stop waiting for comments just so you can spew your dumbfuckery and actually read other peoples posts and you'd learn.

I had been in adult since 2000, and have ran MANY successful and unsuccessful websites. I was one of the first people to make serious bank off Paris Hilton's sex tape, and also one of the first sites in the genre of solo girl/babe websites.

I had also bought and sold many premium adult domains.

Now days I spend my time in mainstream building B2B SaaS products.

As for solo girl websites, how many sets and videos did you buy for $2,000?

The point of a website is obvious. Sites aren't for telling those who already know what you do. They are to find new and better customers so you increase your income. By working on new business, better paying business or increasing business. Absolute fundamentals in marketing such as "the moving market" where one has to replace lost business.

Another self proclaimed idiot who knows nothing.

What's the diffenrence between 1 x $5000 and 50 x $2000?

The market decided that Paul was getting overpaid at $5000 per set.
Paul's ego didn't agree with it so he refused to make another dime.
He learned the market a lesson not to fuck with him......... by simply retiring.
The market cries since then and never recovered the loss of Paul's absence.

I BUILD companies and sell them at a profit, so my "brand" is ME.

One of my new services go live this weekend - keep an eye on the site https://www.XXXroi.com - will be sold within 6 months. I always have an exit strategy when starting new projects. The only thing I keep forever is my lovely wife and my old Vintage Toyota Land Cruiser.

It's one of five services I provide.

but there are so many that sell 10.000 scenes for 25.000 or 30.000 bucks that I do not even have to search much to find them.

even newer content can be found around 5-6 € when one is buying a lot.

and last not least there are paysites that do not only give a 12 or 15 minutes clips - they PAY when tubes are showing them.

so for WHAT should someone steal them?

It just proves my point....but hey time to move on. :thumbsup

Then I discovered the lump on my neck was cancer which was stage four. After intensive chemo and radiation it took another year to bring me back to anything like healthy enough to look after myself.

This happened mid 2007 to the end of 2009 and by then major customers in the US and UK had stopped buying any new material. This was a major problem losing large part of our magazine business meant we could no longer make the money we used to. Because online porn was never going to pay as much as offline porn.

I was also 60 years old and with money in my private pensions, money still coming in from the sites I decided to enjoy the last years of my life. Recently my kidneys gave in, due to the chemo, and I'm housebound.

So please stop saying I failed because I didn't make as much as people you pretend to know.

Take care of yourself Paul. Who cares what people say on GFY, we all know who are the real peeps in this industry, who talks shit, who talks a big game and the rest is just noise.

Sending you a load of positive vibrations for what ever over challenges life is throwing at you. <3

and believe me there is much much more like this around and LEGAL.

if you can sell a scene 300 times for 5 what makes the difference as when you sell it 30 times for 50?
