Content providers, why do we let them post?

...Content providers that open their own paysites using content they are selling to other webmasters.

I can see your point here. Nuch better to have a content provider who only speaks when spoken to and does not sell the content too many times. I like the ones who sell a set 2-3 times for $5 or better even less.

Content providers that open their own paysites using content they are selling to other webmasters.

And these guys are the absolute worse. How dare they try to maximise the profit from their content. The next thing that will happen is affiliates submitting galleries to more than one site.

I have a totally different business model based on this thread. I don't see how I can exist without allowing content providers to spam

Paul - is your business less profitable than 2 or 3 years ago? GET IN LINE BEHIND THE REST OF US ASSHOLE!

There are a few words banned on the board & a few of them are content providers. I can easily change ever reference to your name to ******* with a few simple clicks.

If your business model now calls for you to be aggressive & spammy & "all about the sale" then this board is NOT for you.

I can't believe that you're the same person Jim & I talked to on the Radio Show last year.

Here is my solution:

This message is hidden because Paul Markham2 is on your ignore list.

Thanks for your cpmments.

Tom Mayes. tm-photo you are joking aren't you. you think that's teens.

Well nice knowing you.

I wish some Japanese content providers would spam me. Real Japanese girls are hard to find.

Per Paul Markham2's request, his account has been deleted from this board.

Dang GG, looks like your ban/delete fingers were gettin' all itchy.

I won't bother posting a reply to his response to my earlier post then.

Actually, I'm not sure why he thought it was important to post in disagreement with something we all are pretty much in agreement with.

If you have good content, and do good business, we want to do business with you. If not, all the aggravating postings in the world won't improve your business.

To quote SirMoby "How hard is that to understand?"

And to quote me "why push when you can pull?"

Wow this thread went in an interesting direction, glad I followed it! I don't think the pushy attitude will get anyone any further in any business personally.

The main reason I have never purchased from Paul is he doesn't allow his clients to use any of the content they purchase on hosted promotional material nor does the license allow content to be given to affiliates yet he does both on his cash program with the same content.

Anyone else find this strange!?!
