Success In Non-adult World.

[sarettah]

Define success...........

Anyway.... although I was not "officially" part of the adult internet... From July 99 through July '01 I worked for one of the big adult providers, taking care of site reports, etc... So my initiation into web commerce was via adult internet...

After the layoffs, my wife and I decided to take a shot.... at both the adult internet and mainstream.....

My adult efforts have not borne fruit yet (freesite, tgp building..submit submit submit, ya know the story) example at: www.partyafterdark.com.redhead_in_stockings2

Our mainstream site has gottne sales, but has not yet turned a profit www.paperjewels.com

But, a year later, we are still at it...

Is that success ?

I am fairly old fashioned about business... I still feel that success is not usually intantaneous, but comes after many many mnay hours and days and months of keeping at it.... The IRS will allow me to take a loss for 3 years before they will fuck with me, so I usually use that as a measure...

If after 3 years, we have not made it yet, I will reevaluate the whole thing (or when the money runs out...whichever comes first)
