Its even easier than it used to be,
Hook up wtih Epoch, CCBill, WTS or Netbilling.
Get yourself a very weak content area - hell you can used the same back end youve sold them with another cross check for that matter....
Hang out with all the cool kids - you know the ones that are mighty in this business and can make or break you...[1 Tommy Bahama is required] and beg to buy those cross sales.
Then you can buy existing pay sites where the rebills have radically declined to the point of where your not even interested in fucking with it any more....stop updating the members area if they havent... and fire as many employees as you want.
At this stage wait for one of the monthly shows and make a big splash and sponsor a party on a boat or at a cool club and feed your idiot affiliates some booze... hell its their money that helped pay for it! Sleep well at night by saying your giving back to the "little people".
Repeat cycle....
For added profits add in some cross sales of your other Tommy Bahama buddies and make the text that tells what the name of the site either none existant or the same color of the background making it take even longer for the surfer to discover who they MIGHT be able to contact to cancel the never ending charges on the credit card.
Make sure to open a bank account over seas to put your retirement fund in for when you go backrupt lke John Ip and not pay your affiliates [just your friends] or when the FTC busts your ass like Crescent or the Fed cuz you were getting cash out of that account like Joe Francis.
In the end you can sell that dead tranny site to the next Dee-lerious idiot that comes along and you can retire for 3 years on 50K and live like a king buttfucking young boys in Thailand. Of course you will have to come back and try to start it all over posting idiotic threads saying how cool you are like the top 10 things you didnt know about me [steal any good thread from another board] and search for a service to send out your herbal spam from 2003 and also offer to buy some lists on the same board.
BE A ROCKSTAR!!!
