Since AVS is About Dead, What Now?

[Cleo]

I was taught that if you don't have something good to say about something don't say anything at all and I don't have anything to say about the whole adult biz.

Been getting design work when I can. Put together a resume and have been teaching myself new skills.

I must have skipped that lesson.

I have a bunch of decent purchased content that I have next to know use for outside of a members area. I'd like to eek out a few more bucks off it before it gets retired. This makes me very sad. I was even going to half-assed promote it this time.

have you tried ICQ'ing Evil Chris? He has responded to me even on weekends. 342827.

I also have used Zombaio to process stand alone sites, and unless they have changed, they are free to set up.

Personally, I'm still promoting AVS sites. I split the traffic between NetVerifier, SexKey and Adult Empire, but my ratios might change with the issues you are having, they are making me nervous too.

Personally, I'm still promoting NetVerifier, because I haven't had issues with payment but with all the issues you've had I'm thinking of switching more of my traffic to sexkey and adult empire.

I emailed SexKey specifically asking if they are still alive. Thus far, no response. I was thinking of moving my two sites over to them and building more with my content. I don't have ICQ on this computer and probably won't install it since I have only the rarest use for it.

From what I have read at the zoo, Zombaio now charges for CC acceptance. Plus, they are having MASSIVE payout issues.

I don't think you need to panic about NetV quite yet. I seem to be the only person they aren't paying. It may be some glitch. It's their lack of response to multiple emails and their own message that bothers me. I don't think I'm going to bother to pursue them any longer. I don't have the fight in me anymore.

I use an IM client that does ICQ and a bunch of others. Plus you could always use the web version of ICQ.

I still do a far amount of biz on ICQ. I leave my IM client and Skype running all the time. I also do a lot of mainstream biz using text messaging.

Yeah I desperately need a new skill myself. What are you teaching yourself if you don't mind me asking?

Even though I've been using Adobe products since the late eighties I've been doing the Adobe Classroom in a Book series. It's amazing how much I've learned and how much they have improved my design skills. So far I've done Dreamweaver, InDesign, Illustrator and now I'm getting ready to do Photoshop.

A lot of the jobs I've been looking at are asking for AdWords‎ and SEO expertise so next I'm going to start taking the Google courses.
