I'm very successful in my field of the Adult Industry, have been for almost 7 or 8 years now. Allot of my success is due to people like yourself Mighty One, With your professional web mastering skills from your end of the industry.
I realize allot of the newbie term here at The big O is more dedicated to traffic, web mastering and porn movie sponsor. At times you'll find a sticky about a new cam promoting tool or a cartoon webmaster drawing site.
I don't have anything to do with these field of the adult world.
So I'll just keep providing the content, and you just keep promoting it.
And we'll leave the sponsor to continue to be the middleman.
And we'll let it go at that. Deal?

OK, then a newbie is someone that is brand new to the industry. The rest are either pros or hodads and the vast majority are the latter.

I am new but if I sit through one more useless panel at a show i think I will have earned a star or two.

Here you go Shelleehale, skip the panels at the
next show and enjoy yourself instead.

Because AVN can't seem to pick decent seminar topics or panelists. If they'd pick them based on their experience and willingness to share the information instead of basing the picks on politics and greased palms, it might help.

Ahhhh yes....panels....

I've been going to shows since 1998. My first one was back when the precursor to Internext was at the Monte Carlo in vegas. I go to a couple a year, the January Vegas show is the only one I usually go to without fail.

During all that time, how many panels have I sat thru? I can count 'em on one hand. Yet, I almost always accomplish my goals for every show.

The problems with panels...

1) Selection of topics.

2) Finding someone who actually has something valuable to contribute to the topic to sit on the panel.

3) Getting them to open up and be forthcoming.

No one who has a really cool new idea and is making bank with it is going to sit on a panel and introduce everyone else to it. Again, this business strip mines. If you have 3-4 sites kicking ass with some new fangled innovation, as soon as the word gets out, there'll be so many of them no one can make more than beer money off of the concept.

I do my business at a corner table somewhere near the bar.

I would basically agree with that statement. Although, a real hodad isn't even trying to do anything, they are straight out posers, there are other categories involved.

I agree there are varying degrees of hodadiness.
