The advantages are lower fees, more control, you own your database, more felxibility. The disadvantages are more staff for fraud control, and customer service. You have to realy be on your game to run your own merchant accounts. Its not for everyone.

43. How can you pay out the amounts you do upfront without shaving?


All these last 5 months of payouts, People think oh this is a scam or how can he do that there i no way that anyone can pay out that kinda money !

Well thats true ! I cant pay out $70 PPS and make money in fact I loose a lot of money paying out $70 PPS. I spent over 250,000 last month in extra payouts alone than I normally do. This eats into profit margin bigtime. I am doing these insaine promotions in hopes that more people will give us a try and stick with us for a long time to come. So far so good we have had 6 months of record sales back to back!

In the coming months we are going to keep spending that $250,000 extra ad money on ad buys on tgps and other key sites. So you will start to see many many more cams.com Banners and links and galleries all over the top 30 or so tgps.

Also our new video software has helped boost up sales by 20% in the last 2 months, this means 20% more money for you on the same ammount of traffic.

If you have traffic and want to give something else a try for change give me a shot at your biz and converting your traffic.

Lars once told me he wanted to retire within the next 2 years or so... that was one year ago... knowing him he was just playing me, but then again knowing him, he wouldn`t suprise me to just do that also.

Lars what`s the story?

44. Where'd you get the name Legendary Lars?


So I was once known as Kiltboy due to my wedding pics.

http://www.cyberzine.com/wed/wed.jpg


Then Andy dunn and I beacme friends stocks internet cars dogs you name it he is a cool cat. He ran Sexswap.com and lips.com. He wrote a weekly tips and trix newsletter that was piled high with golden tips. He would come up with kewl nicknames to describe people he wrote about in his news letter. I was one of those and he coind the term legendary lars. I would go to trade shows and people would say are you the legendary lars. And I would reply yes but only in my own mind hahhahahha. Now comes the fun part :) I was browsing thorugh AVN at a internext in Miami when I came across a picture of Karl From Gamma. The Picture said Karl Was the most down to earth person you would ever meet. I got to thinking down to earth people dont put full page ads of themselves in Porn magazines. So i wanted to make fun of it. I came up witht he idea of putting a full page ad of me in apimp suit. With the tag line I bought this ad to make up for my small penis. I told Ron Levi about my plan and he was drinking a soda he almost sprayed it all over David from Python. It was funny shit so I knew it would be a hit. i did it and got a call from eric of Gamma the week the ad came out he said At first i was mad at you for stealing our idea. Then I was even madder at you for making fun of us. Hahahahhah the best $2K joke I have ever played. Anyway they were good sports about it and a legend was born. After that I ran with the image of the guy in the pimp suit and Enlisted mark Tiarra to come up with some funny humor banners for GFY like the Cum on Lars Campaign and the hes not gay hes legendary ads.. It was great fun. And now today the name and image is brranded in the minds of webmasters everyehwere which is good since it brings some credibility and recognition to our live cam product. And now with CAMS.COM domain we are well on our way to branding with both webmasters and surfers. Our Goal in the end is to be the largest webcam company on the web. And I believe we will be there before the end of this Year ! I am gonan push really fucking hard in all driections to get there !


So ends my Ambush I hope this has shed some more light and info for you.

[/QUOTE]

Fucker!!! LOL I never said I was pissed or mad..LOL I remember when you told me part of the idea before it came out. The funniest thing was you told me you were going to buy that ad just to make fun or our ad and by the same process bug your good friends at gammacash! I feel honored that you took the time and money to make a joke to us... LOL The world would be a sad place if we couldn't spend a few thousands to bug our friends...LOL

HAHAHAHAH !!!
Thanks Lars, just what I needed a pair of old dirty white socks. Send a pair to me(clean please) and I will wear them and take a picture for you and Sean ;)

Youhou I get the Porsche.
I knew sucking up would, one day get me somewhere :winkwink:

Hey Lars, how much did DMR set you back. I was just getting started so they only owed me about 10K or so in checks they never sent, well they sent one but it bounced LOL. I did manage to get my database from them and setup my own merchant account and billed out most of the memberships tilll they all cancelled. I started right back up with ibill for new sales. Thankfully i went away from membership sites over the years and I am only out about 50K with ibill right now.

Fuck.. 2 times ouch I lost about 2500 members so whatever that woulda turned out to be... plus just the fact that i quit paysites due to it cost me way ay more $$$... Live and learn

thats what i get for leaving a window open on my machine... get up to take a piss and lars posts under my name about himself

yeah but thankfully i gravitated from membership sites our I would be going off the deap end right about now. If i would have put all my efforts into membership sites over the last 4 years i would likely have 5,000 active members, instead of the 300 or so i had that had been rebilling on their own the last couple years...

I feel for the people who had all the egg's in ibill's basket..

Also know some people who got hit more then 2 times with third party billers... sucks...

makes you wonder who much longer ccbill will hold out.

hahahahah never miss an opportunity to make others say nice things about you !

hehe, great reply as the whole interview. nice job!

[QUOTE=ERIC-GAMMA]
well as a good buddy says we remember things how we want to not how they really were. my story is better. And i will be sending you those 2 pair of clean socks :)

Wicked interview! Thank you Lars and Sleazy! :)

Yeah that was a good time. I learned a few things about myself LOL

I hear ya 100% on that. That was an interesting party and it was all the old dudes from video text mixed in with the Bangwangs of the world. That too was the first time I think I met a porn star Asian Carerra and I was tripping on her to... Good old days. Wow have things changed, people gone missing others turn into giants.

yeah its ineresting whos still her whos behind the scenes and whos no where to be found.

its got a lot of kid vomit in it

Oh dude, that's unappetizing. :)

Cool interview.

Lars!

do you have a pic of you with the Yukon? Maybe of you standing outside it?

Reason I ask is because Im looking for a pic of someone standing next to a Denali for size comparisons because we are having that truck featured in a (pc shooter) game Im developing.

if not thats cool too.



:P

Interesting, I was heavy into the paid to surf scene right from the get go and my 100k+ referrals spread out between all the programs earned me a few bucks for about 10 months. I remember Cashsurfers came along a few months after the early ones and managed to last longer because of lower payouts and affiliate offer incentives, something many of the others failed to capitalize on. When tech stocks crashed in March of 2000, all the IPO hopes vanished along with all the venture capital funding and things ended quickly. Just curious when you say you'd be silly rich if you'd started earlier, is that because you believe you would have capitalized more on the high ad rates or because you could have achieved an IPO?

I was involved early in the development of Refmaker and the AIC forums at delphi.com, if that means anything to you. I had a friend Rick, move to Bakersfield and work for Cashsurfers, not sure if you were still behind it then. The crash of that scene was actually a good thing for me, even though all my referrals basically became worthless overnight, I searched for new revenues streams and found the adult market.

samething with me "lazycash" after the p4s fiasco I've moved into webmastering :D

Thanks for the kind words Lars. I know I can speak for 12clicks when I say we think very highly of you as well. You're an innovator, a pioneer and a gentleman. :)

Remember that dinner at Picasso around 97 or 98 when they brought out the pigeon? :1orglaugh

Hahahha do I remember that was one of the finest dinners i have ever eaten. The bill for like 8 people was like 6K or something silly like that the bill woulda been 7 k if I drank and smoke . We all sat around and told the casino guy if you pay us more for our traffic than anyone else then you get our traffic if not you wont. And he just kept saying yeah but its a good idea. and we kept saying ideas dont buy traffic $$ does LOL. RB Bob Sweet T you guys and I think Ken was there. I cant remember who else. That was the peak year for Adult biz as well. That was kinda the big hurrah. Ever since then shows have been getting smaller and smaller.

Yes I have owned it the whole time with my brothers, I am sure you have emailed and talked to them before :) We would have made a lot lot more ad revenues even with only 6 months more. since the momentum was huge.. Friendster type momentum.. we did have some IPO options but I dont think they woulda happened in only 6 months extra time.

I like this thread the best.. lars is sexy :pimp :pimp

This one too! amazing

"We needa hang out more !" okay

Dude, you're welcome at our table any time.
Remember the casino go explaining how he had the "technology" to ask surfers how they found out about his site via a dropdown box?
He's sitting there with arguably half the hits on the net at the time and his means of counting was having the surfer tell you where they came from.
too funny.
When Bob botto told the waiter he cpuldn't eat pigeon, I almost pissed myself.
"I've seen too many of them walking the streets to eat one now" or some shit.
what good, lost, times.

thanks Lars, it's been informative!

Hahahahah yeah thats the best !
I remeber we told the waiter we were all too busy to look at menus who could be bothered with a menu. So RB says just tell the chef to prepare special food. I was blown away I had never seen anything like it.. Growing up in a VW bus and not having electricity for the first 8 years of my life and pooping in an outhouse with no real toilet.. to I am too important and busy to look at a menu.. I knew I had arrived at that moment. It has been up up and away ever since. Thanks to RB and Bob for showing me the good life.
I sure do miss those two !

Too busy to look at a menu.. that's awesome :)

Lars likes this thread so here's a bump for him!

awesome lol

Yeah i still laugh about ti and that was by far one of the best meals I have ever eaten!

I just did 2 more interviews for other companies... check em out lots more good info !
