    Commandment of Need vs. Commandment of Entry

    And that's the odd thing ... I know this market cold. I know where their pain points are ... I have listened to them bitch moan and complain about this that and the next thing for years ... so when I developed a service that resolved each and every one of those issues ... I thought the crowd...

    Commandment of Need vs. Commandment of Entry

    LOL! Yep ... that's exactly what I'm doing. A relentless suitor ... singing and dancing ... till the pretty girl says yes to a date. Getting better at it each day ... takes a bit of effort ... but yeah ... nothing to be gained slouching against the wall feeling bad for yourself ... gotta get...

    Commandment of Need vs. Commandment of Entry

    I am definitely doing that (the former) ... no question. Were I not ... I'd be outta here. Doing quite a number of things that no one in the niche has done. Carving out a nice little place in the market. Which (admittedly) makes it a bit harder in the short term. Most site owners welcome...

    Commandment of Need vs. Commandment of Entry

    Well ... yeah ... that's what I am doing. I operate on the assumption that I am Edison in pursuit of the metaphorical light bulb ... that there must be a better way to do it ... so I am continually refining the process ... testing new methods ... eliciting member feedback ... brainstorming...

    Commandment of Need vs. Commandment of Entry

    Well ... if I had to describe it ... I would call it a couple things ... the "Google Plus" effect ... the "Bing" effect ... or the "Commandment of Perceived Need" ... For example: Suppose you are a food vendor at Costco handing out free samples ... but they put you way at the back of the...

    Commandment of Need vs. Commandment of Entry

    There may be no clear answer to this ... But how do you distinguish between the compliance with the Commandment of Entry ... and a violation of the Commandment of Need ...? In other words ... when you find yourself saying ... F*ck ... this is a hell of a lot harder than I thought ... for a...

    Know Any Adult Friendly e-Mail Marketing Services ...?

    MARKETING 
    Answered my own question: Ynotmail.com Did a little research ... I'm told it's popular with the porn industry. And (openly) adult friendly. Figured I'd share ... :)

    Know Any Adult Friendly e-Mail Marketing Services ...?

    MARKETING 
    Opened at account at Constant Contact for my dating site ... and it was deleted within minutes. No dating sites allowed. Too many spammers. Well that blows ... I'm guessing I'll run into the same exact thing elsewhere ... at least as far as the big providers go. So I'll ask ... does anyone...

    The Desert of Perceived Need

    EXECUTION 
    In the most general sense ... the same way I would anything else ... pitch your USP ... tailor your message to your target audience ... and filter out everyone, save for those select few you really want to keep. As far as the specifics go ... I wish I could tell you I had the magic formula...

    The Desert of Perceived Need

    EXECUTION 
    No ... I am doing the exact opposite, actually. The method you just mentioned ... is what I did when I first launched ... and it was an absolute disaster. If all you want are "numbers" ... then sure ... yeah ... that's the way to go. Step right in ... take a look around. But if you want a...

    Thanks again for the Tip, Fiona! I am really enjoying his blog/courses and getting some great ideas from his videos. Just what I was looking for. :)

    The Desert of Perceived Need

    EXECUTION 
    Yep. Let a group of dirty truckers get cozy at your bar ... and you are terminally F*cked. I'm being very particular about how I fill the room early on. Takes more time to do it this way ... but I gotta think big picture.

    The Desert of Perceived Need

    EXECUTION 
    On a side note: Someone on Facebook who I encouraged to join just thanked me for the site invite ... but told me "she did not want to join another paid site right now" ... Technically speaking ... there are no references to prices anywhere on my front page ... but when you look at the site ...

    The Desert of Perceived Need

    EXECUTION 
    Well ... that's sort of the general idea behind the social media articles. News-you-can-use articles that I can circulate and use to (indirectly) promote the site.

    The Desert of Perceived Need

    EXECUTION 
    Well ... the problem with the adult oriented "Google" crowd ... is they tend to attract creeps. I do not want the creepy single dude surfing porn at 3 a.m. anywhere near my site ... and quite frankly ... those types couldn't get in if they wanted to. Most sites just want numbers. The more...

    The Desert of Perceived Need

    EXECUTION 
    Will do. :) As for permission ... TOTALLY agree. That is a big selling point of the site. The fact that it is NOT open to the public ... no gratuitous public tours. I go one step further. I contact them directly and get their express written consent. I tell them what I plan to do...

    The Desert of Perceived Need

    EXECUTION 
    Storytelling ...? No ... haven't tried that (per se). But it is a good idea. I have (however) recently integrated a WP blog for circulating original content on social media. Rather than circulate someone else's articles on social media ... I figured ... why not create the content and let...

    EXECUTION 
    It is (in fact) a beautiful people site. That's a real good idea. I'll do that. You're right. Those type of pics get a lot of love on social media. Note to self. Thanks! :)
