Hey you. How many times are you going to check those stats? You do realize that you kind of don't have a lot of power over how many hits your gallery gets from the Hun, don't you? You are aware that shopping for a new monitor on Ebay isn't going to get your thumbnails thumbed or your tour built.

"There's work time. There's sleep time. There's chore and eating time. And then there's bullshit time. You need to separate one from the other. You need to recognize the difference between time that makes you money and the rest." |
Yes. There is more to life than computers and porn. However, computers and porn are how you make money. If you aren't making money, then bidding on that awesome flat-screen is kind of a joke. We're not asking you to be a slave to your work. We're just giving you some sage advice:
Make sense of your day by using your time to make CENTS.
What is productivity? Productivity is applying the hours given you so that each moment is dedicated to creating income. Checking stats won't make you dollars. Building another gallery will. Killing a couple of hours at Cozy Campus is fun but other than chumminess, what are you gaining from the experience? It's one thing to get answers from your fellow froggers. It's a whole other to shoot the shit till four o'clock in the morning. You can spend the next five hours laughing at sleeping cam whores on GFY or you can dedicate those precious minutes to looking for TGP partners, dumping links on a link dump or a hundred other monetarily beneficial activities. There's a reason why you are still awake when the sun comes up. Make it a good reason.
For example. You've logged into your affiliate console in order to check your sponsor stats. When was the last time you took at look at your sponsor's marketing tools like fresh banners, free hosted galleries and new goodies such as blog feeds and plugin sex toy stores?
How about that content shop? Sure, we all like to browse the new images and buy some sets. But have you actually used the last sets you bought yet? Maybe those older images aren't good enough for Shemp or Persian Kitty but there's no harm in slapping them up into a mini site that you can link from your hub.

We all like to chat on IM but when was the last time you did business on it? No, you don't want to spam your buddies. However, what's stopping you from creating a new IM account and taking a little trip to non-webmaster land? Spread the word about your site subtly and with finesse. After all, "You're just a sexy girl!" Sure, it's important to get to know other adult webmasters so you can improve your reputation and standing. Just the same, there's a whole other world of sports fans and music nerds waiting for you to show them where the pr0n iz. Be creative. Act like you're a schlub just like them. If you're going to hang, hang with money in mind.
There's work time. There's sleep time. There's chore and eating time. And then there's bullshit time. You need to separate one from the other. You need to recognize the difference between time that makes you money and the rest. If you dedicate your money-making time to specific hours of the day, then you can treat yourself to all those other things like food and fun and rest.
Checking your stats is interesting. You can learn things from what pages and pics get the most hits. Checking your stats obsessively won't make you any CENTS. Yacking it up with your porn buddies won't make you any CENTS. Shopping for gratuitous hardware won't make you any CENTS.
Make CENTS out of your day. Devote a certain number of hour to only those things that generate cash. Build pages. Trade links. Ask questions that pay. Use the content you have before you go browsing for more. Join boards where potential porn surfers hag out. Blog with a financial purpose. Before you hit that gaming site, before you wander off into the deeper levels of Google searches, before you play with domain names, make your day make CENTS.
You have the power. You have the technology. Use it wisely. Force yourself to complete your cash-generating work. Then you can spend the rest of the time doing anything you want.
