And all you do is throw up a design and link into CCBill and your done right?

WRONG

Not if you want to make any money that is...

100% agreed Gonzo. We all who know you, know you know the angles to make loot and expand.

Considering the money paid out to actors it's a wonder how any of them make it. How much do the BangBros pay their models for a Bang Bus shoot? Foreign talent must work for pennies. Program gurus must be making a fortune off em'. A big program must have large overhead and I remember a pal that ran a very successful program back in the late 90's had 5,000 members. He did real good but decided to get out of the biz in the early 00's.

Some models you see on everybody's sites. Like Katja Kassin. She must be worth her weight in gold as she appears on one site after another. She must claim a high salary.

Does she have her own site? If she did would she command 1,000 members? I think so!

There are a few programs you might look at for starlets.
NScash - Use Jace's refcode as he can get you more help that way.
Earlmillercash - If its starlet material Earl has shot it or will shoot it.
Twistyscash - Another rock solid high gloss program.

Thanks Gonz but I'm not looking for models. Believe you me I could make a model with some pizzazz an assload of cash on the comic book/superheroine/cosplay market.

At our conventions, a model to a comic can sell a fucking photo with an autograph and lipstick kiss for $30 and sell 1,000 in a few hours. On a 3 day convention of note she could walk away with $60k + and not even take her clothes off but that all depends on the books she's promoting. Heck, if I do a comic book cover alternative and autograph it I can make the same. That's why if you go to the comic book conventions nowadays you'll see armies of women in costume trying to get a gig. Some just show up and charge $5 for a photo of them with you. Guys eat that shit up. Due to time however the girls who really rate only make about $500 a day unless they get tips and guys shove $10s and $20s in their utility belts all day. I mean amateur chicks in some superheroine outfit they sewed together the night before. Even the girls in high school pull this shit off and buy iPods and stuff. It's a huge surge.

One funny story is a blonde I saw at a show in Vegas. She was fiiiiiine, slim, in a Japanese Manga outfit. Dudes were all over her. She took pics, charged $10, $20 a pic and kiss allll day. She was tall too like a Nordic princess. Then me being an artist noticed around 5 pm that afternoon that her upper lip had a wee bit too much fuzz on it.

Yep, she was a he and knew I caught on. He leaned over and told me he makes crazy money doing this shit and there were several other guys who do it too. He had me cracking up about how many hits he gets from guys AND girls and even MOTHERS of attendees! He used the money to help his parents and siblings as they were going through rough times.

At the sci-fi/comic conventions hotties show up from some of the R rated flicks but only a rare few from X rated.

Yes, I know already. My guys run the comic book industry and conventions too. I may add some caution here, if ONE just ONE minor gets into one of your seminars or gets his or her hands on any 'memorabilia' you could be in trouble. Just be cautious. I'll send some of my boys over to say howdy to you if they can get away from autographing stuff and networking.

We should hook up one day and shoot the breeze.

Now why don'tcha' tell us your real last name?

The likelyhood of either of those happening is slim to none.
DragonCon isnt compensating any of us to speak so I am just another attendee that is going to step out of the void a couple of hours.

Feel free to have them come on by. We are just regular folks.

"the BEST thing a new site owner can do these days is do it all themself, build the traffic yourself, make the sales yourself....NEVER depend on affiliates for anything"

It has always been that way. I have been around for a long time now and just recently did an affiliate programme. Its ok, but my own marketing costs way less and earns much more. But it is travel money.
Cash programmes are not a good thing for any boutique web business. Cash programmes are good for cash programmes. I have done the numbers six ways to Sunday and they just don't make any sense. They do make sense if you are a bulk content provider which most of us are not.

Well hopefully you'll get to meet the kinfolk down there and get yourself some good down home vittles. I'm probably related to half the state.
