You should make it a cool car by convert it into an EV.

i gave the only practical real world response in the thread, based on over a thousand hours of experience, and all the dude can do is insult. ideas do expire. he should stick to cargo transport. seems like he's better at it. everybody gave respect for that choice. :2 cents:

i made about $3 an hour on that project.

the thing you aren't seeing is gfy does not attract models. its not avn. there's 3 regular models here. it also does not attract fans. that's two uphill battles no one around here wants to fight for gfy.

your entire business plan is based on the 3-letter domain. you keep bringing it up, but its just a domain. there's many failed 3-letter domains.

a successful online biz takes a team working thousands of hours. you must think it will be a volunteer army? where's your investment?

i'm not being negative, i'm being realistic. someone will have to build and manage this thing while you're staring out of a windshield all day.

That is interesting. What makes the margins so thin? Are the needed tasks challenging to find affordable outsource workers who can do them?

Sadly, when marketing forums change, they usually end up dying.

DP changed, they are dead.

WaFo changed, they are dead.

WiFi changed, they are dead.

BHW is still alive because the changes they deploy seek to enhance users' existing experience instead of a radically new model.

Question answered

Vendzilla 08-11-2023 05:30 PM

If you start with branding a clothing line, jumping over to getting models would be easy due to the media buzz.
Could you imagine Ted Nugent , Kid Rock or Tom Macdonald wearing a hoodie on stage?
Or any number of celebrities that want partner up

Man, people are so mean to you, but you are 100% right.

GFY could be a massive brand.

Especially in 2023 where more and more people are like "I don't give a fuuuuuuuuck!"

yea i think it requires higher level talent to run any site competing with OF.

the models have to stay engaged and adding content. verification is pretty easy these days. its the onboarding and continuous engagement that takes daily work. your average outsourced 3rd worlder can't do that work. they can barely do Amazon returns.

model engagement is in addition to daily traffic work. that part can be outsourced if it doesn't take too much brainwork. then you trade time for cost, which increases daily.

OF has many issues, but traffic and engagement aren't on the list. we're out of the sandbox now with fan sites, which means it takes a decent size team and budget to pull it off.

small biz in this industry always has to be looking at the next thing. get in early before the behemoths buy or destroy the market. then get out.

Thinking starting a clothing line with the words "Go Fuck Yourself" is a great business idea, and putting so much value on a 3 letter domain is peak stupidity.

Not trying to be mean, but maybe you should listen to that guy who tried explaining to you how dumb of an idea it is. He had more patience trying to get through to you than most people would have.

1. Who is your target demographic, if they want to wear clothing that says "Go Fuck Yourself" on it? Edgy 13 year old kids, and people who live in trailer parks. Not exactly people who will be spending a lot of money.

2. Turn GFY into onlyfans? I don't think I've heard a dumber idea on this forum, and that's really saying a lot.

3. Having a 3 letter domain and an idea is not easy street to money. Everyone has a million ideas. Ideas are worth exactly ZERO. It's all about execution. You can become a millionaire today starting a business like cleaning if you can execute properly. Not everything has to be a novel tech idea.

I don't even know why I'm writing this. It's such a stupid idea it doesn't even warrant an explanation about why it's stupid.

when you attend a show, shoot house, or any industry gathering with younger crowd OF generation etc, you realize how much of a dinosaur paysite owner/operators are. and if youre from the era of DVDs and buying DV tapes to film these new cats think youre like moses. then you realize these lil jits have such a shaky business model its scary, theyre totally co dependent on other no name amateurs in their category and have no star power or following outside of fan/social platorms. we're old i get that, but at least 90s adult folks see whtas going down

Where the president is known as "FJB"

And yeah, they're mean to me, but I know in person they wouldn't have the balls to say what they will say here and it's better to just accept that.
Mind over matter, I don't mind because they don't matter.

Its monumentally stupid but its a good “idea” when you have no actualy practial experience building a huge project.

If 3 letter domains and easily brandable names were a huge key to success,
Sex.com, porn.com, etc etc would be huge success stories. Yet none of them are?

Is it because of “lack of vision” or “imagination”?

No. Ifs because pulling off a successful brand or social media site is way fucking harder than just having a good name and having a few rappers promote you.

This is the meme version of the proposed business plan:

Actually I have experience in huge projects.
Sex.com and Porn.com focus on just porn, and porn on the internet is free.
You clearly are lacking

I know you have some experience on large projects. I also know you don’t have enough experience to realize how its not as “simple” as you think it is.

I understand you have good intentions with your suggestions, but what you’re doing is a clear example of the Duning-Kruger effect

Pulling it off would take some heavy lifting, that's a given. But to say it can't be done or it wouldn't work is a defeatist attitude. I've had too much fun in my life by saying hold my beer.
I went from building TGP's on my spare time for Comus after working 10 hours a day for Coca Cola, to working as the Club Jenna Webmaster, with no training. I taught myself html and PHP MySQL and a few others.
I don't look at why it can't be done, I look at how it can be done.
I can do anything except get into some of these little cars. I have to duck to get into a KW t680 or a f250
