Ahh, this is the one I was waiting for... and like some of my other answers will also prolly be on the long side
(sorry folks lol)
The whole "brokest Celeb" is a mix of various things...
The "celeb" thing is not just the radio, take into account my entire history in the adult biz in no particular
order....
Photographer, print work (box covers etc) __________________ (Wait for question #24 lol) Program Owner, Designer,
Radio Host, etc etc etc, I am/was in fact pretty well known (and forgotten) from a board standpoint you have people
like pimpdog, juicy, boyally, headless etc these are adult 'celebs' some later renamed to "bros" I however even after
a 4 page spread in AVN Online, radio shows etc always felt like the "dude who everyone knew but forgot" lol
I've never spent lots of times on boards, cause frankly I've mainly been a 1-man-army most of my time in adult and if
I'm posting all day that means I'm NOT working on my content and sites.
and at the same time I NEED to have a presence in this industry to gain more affiliates, clients or whatever
depending on the time frame / situation.
So... what you end up with is me posting every day for a week or two then vanishing for a month or two (lather rinse
repeat lol)
Now onto the "brokest" I'm honest to a fault, as well as fair, (I'm sure some of the people I've worked with might
think otherwise but it is the utmost truth.) with that said, I've NEVER charged what I should in ANY of my stuff, when
I did webdesign I was cheap... (outsource person cheap lol) when it came to my content also dirt cheap and lets not
even bring up my first 5 months of the affil program I made an error in the ccbill panel and had 100% payouts going to
affils LMAO
Now, I'm NOT saying that the people WITH money are not honest, just in my case, I slit my throat to make people happy,
to maintain a good biz relationship, to assure return clients.
I've made good money in adult, BUT I've also blown it all time and time again, for good or for ill lol (Family sucks
lol)
The funniest thing with my "brokest Celeb" mantel goes right along with question #17 But i'll touch on it here...
I was dubbed "The Godfather Of 3D Toons" by AVN back in 02 or 03, and then had a 4 page writeup in the Oct 2004 issue,
by THAT alone I felt that the money should just start rolling in, but honestly I know now that I was meerly just ahead
of my time, I've been doing this 3D Toon stuff for almost 10 years now, BUT the market didn't really take off till the
end of 2007 WHEN more and more companies started to get in the mix.
I'm one of the co-founders of the 3D niche, I launched the first 100% paysite, the first 100% program, I was the first
site to operate SOLEY on member requests and up till last year I really had nothing to show for it lol
I'm not bitter, by any means, if I had to do it all over again I would not change a thing... well no, I would have
cornered the video market instead of ignoring it for 5 years lol.
Now, The Howard Stern Thing... since the first day I got into the online porn industry I've thought of myself as "The
Howard Stern Of Porn" and that is a little hard to understand if your not very familiar with Howard's life.
After Howard Left Detroit, he pretty much vowed to not hold ANYTHING back, good or bad, let it alllll out there, be
himself, not put on a show, that's the same atitude I took (much to the dismay of alot of my past partners consultants
and or advisor's lol) but that's the only way I figured it would work.
I did not need to sit and brag about my stuff, my cash (when I did have it) places I go who I fuck etc etc, Sure I
used my share of "spin" but everyone in biz does in some way shape or form.
So that's what I did with my online biz, I never held back, I spoke my mind, I did not try to be a "board char" I was
just me, a wacky, odd, shut-in who lives in the woods of Northern Michigan, a jack of all trades and a master of VERY
FEW lol.
When I did my radio show it was the same way, (minus my WolfMan Jack Voice
) I talked about my drug use, my horrid marriage, my models, my ups and my
downs, I held nothing back, and in that case I was like Howard Stern (Without his millions) lol
I might come back and add more to this later IF you need more explanation but for now this is enough I think lol
