Why is rude to ask in an anonymous poll on a board? Not like you have to answer. I started the same poll on 3 other boards, and got maybe 5 people that did not like the poll, and 100+ that voted. Lots of people found it interesting and even inspiring.

As with everything it is context...this is a business forum and the very nature of business is making money and certainly the reason most of are in the business.

I see nothing wrong with asking the question.

..." it's not the questions I'm afraid of , it's the answers. "... ( interpreted: it would piss me off to no end to find someone here making more money than me doing the same thing as I - just kidding! )

to me "finances" are "personal" , I can't even imagine going up to someone in "public" ( isn't that what a board is? ) and asking "how much money do you make"? ( of course I have no problem asking are you a "bottom?" , it'd kinda'be a waste of my time to buy another "top" drinks all night! )
as mentioned this is my thought , if you are comfortable revealing your "assets" ( please send your nude pics to me at jim@longboardjim.com ) please feel free to do so. ( i'd be particularly interested in knowing what "frat" and "corbin" make! - just kidding guys!

I think it's kinda tacky to ask so I just gave a flippant answer and didn't answer the poll itself.

I'm rolling in it.

Past that, it ain't none of your business.

I'm calling bullshit on keeping your income secret. That's a stupid cultural issue. People spend so much on products that imply their financial situation, but they can't come out and say it. We're shy about it, because we're afraid that people will look down on us if they know the truth. Also, income can be very different, depending on how it's earned. If you get paid 100k a year, that's not as good as earning 100k a year as interest on your investments. Also, income doesn't take into account your present debt load.
I'll admit, that I'm below the Orange County poverty line, which I think lies around $125k a year. Some day, some how, I will ascend out of grinding poverty and earn a decent lower middle class wage and be able to afford a home. However, with my income going up as property values fall, this looks more and more likely all the time.
Yet again, when it comes to being open about finances, I can't help judging people who are in debt up to their necks, but still buying stupid shit that they don't need. I try not to, but I can't help it. However, I sometimes suspect those people as being behind "It's rude to talk about finances." There was something in the Rich Dad Poor Dad book about the fact that people should talk about their finances a whole lot more. It's a lot better than going through life subtly hinting about your financial situation. Perhaps when I'm satisfied that I'm rich enough I'll just save money and cafepress my bank statement on a shirt. Of course, none of us are ever satisfied that we're rich enough.

The office is in Huntington Beach, although I live in the ultra-classy city of Stanton. If you want to hang sometime you've just got to be so bold as to say "Hey".

Those that say they earn anywhere from 400. up a day are full of it. That is hundreds of new user sign ups and one person would not be able to handle that. As with most affiliate programs that are offered on your site the average is about 25.00 which in turn is about 15,000 users a year. That is 15,000 per 1000. per day. I just don't think so as most here are not able to handle that on their own. Now if your a large site with a few people working for you I can see it and then 400. to 1000. per day is just making it. I guess for anyone with 10 workers and servers they would need to make about 5000.00 per day in sales. I guess that is about less than 1% or 1% of the adult sites out there. Just wish my site http://badboysfilms.com did that

Or need to pump it up a bit.

I have affiliates who make over $1000 per week JUST from promoting Fratmen and Fratpad, and they promote about 10 sponsors regularly.

True only Jan 2006 again I also promote you and not one sale on some of my other sites for almost 1 year and I get about 10,000 users a month to these other small sites. How many do I need to get a sale from you? One is a blog and the other a tgp site. Not saying that you don't sell that much just I just don't know how?? I use your codes and all. Also from the same sites I get sales to A.E.B.N..???

**Jasun** · 03-12-2008, 08:52 PM

If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got.

You probably need to change sponsors and your approach. I find that contacting the sponsor for some help in how to sell them is a great start.

You can have all the traffic you want... If its not the correct traffic then you'll rarely make a sale. For instance if i send Tranny traffic to my gay foot fetish site (boyfeet.com) I might get one sale out of 10,000. On the other hand if i send Tranny Traffic to my all around fetish site (boyfetish.com) I might get a few more sales because that site encompasses more fetishes. Now if i send that same tranny traffic to a tranny affiliate site. I'm sure I'd get a few more sales due to I'm sending them to a place they like to visit. Then at that point it comes right down to if they are interested in those particular trannies. Now you ask me why I picked trannies as an example? hahaha I don't know! just did!

I have promoted sites that I don't make a sale on... I eventually move on. Sometimes my promotions don't work and others its the content I promote. Same idea for me with paysites. If i start a website and after a certain point its not selling.. Time to move on!

I suggest you concentrate on your traffic. it obviously needs to be a little more refined to what your particular niche is.

Does anyone remember when Twink was a niche!
