It’s About Model Behavior

My columns are usually aimed at affiliates: after all, we all make our living one sale at a time and unless you have spent the last few years living lottery dreams, we all know that sales are anything but easy these days. Our ability to make sales often lies with a tremendous X factor: the talent. With the number of episodes on the PrideBucks.com family of sites hovering at 1,000, there has been a parade of models through our studio that would rival the population of a small town, and today’s column is an open letter to each one them.

Biz Going Down the Tubes?

Watching the political talking heads making their predictions last night as voters across the country head to their primaries today, it occurred to me these cadres of insiders in the world of all things Beltway are not much different then pundits of porn who make up the panels at our industry conferences. Being invited to moderate or participate on of these brain trusts in an honor I enjoyed several time during the Phoenix Forum and it seemed no matter the topic listed on the schedule, the conversation invariably turned to what is believed to be one of the scorns of our beloved, and beleaguered, industry, tube sites.

Let Freedom Swing!

Every webmaster, affiliate program, tube site, MGP, blog, review portal, VOD mall or traffic hub has one thing in common; we all make our living one sale at a time.
