And Paul - I DID make you an offer way back when I started but, like the equally (in her own way) annoying Sara Swirls, I knew you would be IMPOSSIBLE to work with so I never really pursued it.

But remember Paul: that was TEN YEARS AGO. The advice you are getting here - like, start a paysite - would have been the smart move back in 2004. Now? Probably not at this point. But go back fifteen years? Cha-ching. Fuck man, if I could make bank with what I am doing there should have been no issue with you pulling in 6 figs with your paysite during the first ten years of the Internet. But you didn't see the "logic" in it.

Pulling 6 figures, would that be turnover or pure profit? Can you guaranty it? So why were all the deals being offered required me to hand overall my content so they could make paysite and I would have no say in how it was formed, access to the stats and probably stopped shooting for magazines.

The deal you offered wasn't good enough. Buy my content outright and you don't have to work with me. Do a share/partnership deal and you have to work with me.

All we needed was for someone to organise affiliates, drive traffic and work with us on the design of the site and the content we shot. Once they prove there is a six figure profit in a paysite, we drop shooting for magazines. Not that shooting for them had any effect online. As many remember the magazines didn't understand the Internet so weren't any threat.
