Madame,

To be fair with your comments though, a lot of what you are 'actually' involved with in running your site is handled via Badpuppy so in that sense, you arent really running a paysite, at least not in its totality as you dont have to worry about processing, gaining new affiliates, traffic, retention, etc not trying to just dismiss you or your site BTW.

That being said, there are also people in the industry and, on GWW right now who i WOULD expect to have their own paysites that dont which is something i dont understand given that the amount of work to actually run a site, once you have the basics and behind the scenes stuff down is minimal.

I beleive, as do a lot of other people, that marketing is one of the most vital parts of working in the adult industry, if you cant sell the surfer, then you have no chance of running a successfull site, to some this ability comes naturally, to others, no matter how hard they try, they cant do this.

Therefore in my mind, it stands to reason that the first thing a new webmaster should learn is marketing, not just the art of marketing but practical market techniques used in the adult industry, free sites, tgp galleries, aen sites, the hardest type of things to market, then once they have their knowledge, move on to paysites, blogs, reviews and all that other funky stuff.
