Amazing how common that is in this thread :disgust

Well so much for that. Is Freelancer.com a source for quality programmers?

What happened in 5 working days that the programmer didn't work out?

Lets say you are starting from zero, and you try to make money from porn sites... What type of websites would you recommend working on, and why? What would be a good business model for this? Traffic trading / live cams / dating, something else? The more info, the better (if possible).

Thanks.

I paid the programmer on the 7th. it's been 11 days. It worked out. I just need that part of the project tailored so my API is sending/receiving/processing authorization tokens integrated with a form and a client request page.

Enlightenment is my biggest struggle right now :banana

Your best bet is probably to go after a niche you like and you can spot an opening in. If you like it and you have experience with the sites in that niche there is probably a good chance you can find an opening in the market to make your mark.

Cams and Dating are probably your best long term bets.

Lack of capital and private time. I've been spinning my wheels for years and just making it because I lack the money for advertising and a new machine plus I have people around me 24/7 where I can't just end up with a bunch of porn sites on my desktop. September is looking bright! It's the most wonderful time of the year! Oh and I don't think I give things enough time. I start something, get frustrated that it doesn't work in a week and move on to something else.

Thanks for the previous answer. As a second question, are you familiar with traffic trading / SmartCj.com sites? How would I get this to work, as a network, and with a goal of 100,000 daily traffic, and everything done correctly / very good?

I probably wouldn't start a CJ or traffic trading site. I believe you'd be working your ass off to acquire garbage traffic. If you want to start cheap maybe start with a tumblr site (maybe check out crak media tutorial on tumblr) and build a following there. Good soft way to get into the biz and learning about it.

Good luck with that. Carving out the free time is probably the key for you. Carve out a little more each day and you may have a nice boost in business.
