I wish I had a cleaner copy of this image, youdopians. From what I can read, it’s pretty funny. I totally forgot from where I found this. If anyone knows, please let me know. I want to credit the site, and the original image maker (good luck, I know).
Busy as a beaver still. Money starting to happen. Opportunities piling up. I have business cards for the first time in a very long while. My god. My native ability to write in SEO is making the blogs I created a few months ago start to pay off.
We’ve been using a project management program that organizes one’s emails, contacts, and tasks. I hate it. It works wonderfully. I hate it. I am much more efficient with it. I hate it. I’ve wrestling with the issue of selling ad space, limited ad space, on a site that has half a million page views daily, to a member who can only spend fifty bucks. The original model was $25 per 50,000 pageviews. Sounds great. Is great. 50,000 page views lasts you a few hours. Then people would feel cheated, even when told in giant flaming letters ten galaxies high, ‘We get 400-500,000 page views daily”. So… we upped the minimum to $50 and changed to a pay per click model. That works better, but now the new minimum ($50) only lasts a day. I input an ad last night at 9:30pm, and it was gone ten hours later. 125 clicks, gone. It’s a good thing, but… one is faced with the conundrum. How to pay the thousands a month to run a site with 36,000 members (since January 08), and 400 new ones a day… a site based on community, and openness, and not being another corporate bullshit site.
I love it. I love the site. I love the people. I love the scene. I love kinky things. Kinky people tend to be more interesting. I love working from home. I even love working 18 hours a day, for the success of my family and our business. It’s nice.
The site is worth a good 20,000 a month in ad revenue, if we whored it out (did the usual industry bit, with header and footer ads, and shop pages)….
so far so good. Power to the people. I want to own a home, and a car. Angel/Devil. I’ve been choosing virtue more lately… probably in rebellion of the industry in which I am thriving. I am thriving. It’s all coming together.
Things have a groove now, a rhythm. The site for which I do the marketing (along with Kiki) is starting to come together. It’s a wonderful life. It’s nice to earn money from the sweat of my brow. I’m going to watch television. I realized last night, that I hadn’t watched a show in weeks. I had lost my chrono sync w/ society, like that French guy they put in the cave for a year.
night night.
