Re: Mike South punks out Joanna Angel
My 2 cents on this whole thing since I was there at Cybernet...
I'm prone to sit and observe unless I really know everyone around well, that's my personality. But that has some advantages....I do more listening than talking. I learn alot. Now in the case of something like a newbie seminar or solo girls seminar, not much you can teach this old dog, but I'm not arrogant enough not to be open to new ideas. But this isn't the reason I go. I go looking for new and fresh people to partner with or send traffic to.
Joanna doesn't come across as the typical ditzy content girl. I agreed with the bulk of what she said at the solo girls seminar. However, she does come across with a tad bit of ego....or perhaps not so much that as I dont think she realizes what she does NOT know. I've always said it's as important to know what you dont know as it is to know what you do.
What works for her, her niche, her content, and her name wont work for 98% or more of this industry. You cant use it as a road map. That's the problem with her comments on the newbie panel. Crawl before you walk should've been the message. Promote some other peoples programs, learn how to sell, learn how to market, learn how to get the traffic to it. And if you do want to go the exclusive route, even if you have that built in content with a hot wife or girlfriend who is willing to do cam shows and show it all on the web, you still need to learn the psychology. Hell, learn to shoot while you're at it.
Doesn't take a genius to be a porn director, but at least learn how to use your equipment, render a decent sized video, shoot stills that aren't dark and cold, etc.
