If you had to start all over again... - GoFuckYourself.com

WiredGuy · 07-14-2008, 07:20 PM

Let's say you were to start over again from today in the business, would you do the same thing as you've done or would you venture into something completely new?

For Example:

Start a tube site?
Paysites?
Free sites?
Affiliate program?
Go into mainstream?
Media buyer/broker?
Domain brokerage?
SEO?
PPC?

Let's hear it, if you had to start over starting from today, what would you invest your time/energy into?

I would do the same, except I would have kept my mouth shut.

GrouchyAdmin · 07-14-2008, 07:22 PM

I'd start by going with my strengths instead of trying to make it as a webmaster. That takes a hell of a lot more work.

Spunky · 07-14-2008, 07:23 PM

Concentrate solely on mainstream

DefaultMan · 07-14-2008, 07:25 PM

I would have stayed out of mainstream and gone into adult a long time ago.

Great thread WG....

I would start out with what I know best as a base but expand into other areas without spreading myself too thin. Solidify a foundation in what I know and then move on to the next marketing avenue. Without hurting the bottom line, hire someone to manage what is making money so I can concentrate on the next step in my business plan.

I think in todays market you can't have all your eggs in one marketing basket but at the same time you can't dip your finger into all the traffic options available if you are a one man show. You have to establish a solid foundation in one area... freesites, blogs, seo, etc... before moving on to the next.

Take what is making money and duplicate it. Take profit from those efforts and risk it in something new. Figure out the "new" .... own it.... duplicate... move on... etc etc etc

rinse and repeat

I would have started 1 site and stuck with it.
I made dozens of sites, lost interest in them and moved on.

I should have been a real life pimp.

Glad to know I wasn't the only crazy dude thinking that way.........

I pretty much agree with Ice only I would have done it in mainstream.

The reason I got into adult 7 years ago was exits, pop-unders, dialers on CJ sites. Boy that was a giggle for sure but those days are long gone by now.

The way I work now is blogging and SEO and have I just started as dedicated in mainstream as I did in adult I think it would be a very nice income. I am slowly moving there now and I am seeing results way faster.

Not saying I will drop adult, my blog network is growing and it's money out of the window selling.. but could I do it over again hehe...

We all have the choice to start all over again at any time of our choosing. Seek the answers within yourself, young one. Let the Force guide you.
