Glad things are doing well for you Hank, I am sure whatever you do will be a success!

So far things are starting out busier than ever. Tons of projects, more sales (which is always good) and lots of things on the horizon. I think 2005 is going to be good for us, and I hope it is for everyone else as well.

the new year so far is great for me.
it didnt start picking up until about the 9th of january, when people finally started to get over being broke from the holidays.

it should be my best year yet unless i start slackin!

Ramster · 2005-01-14, 09:30 AM

Seems to be going ok. Some of my ccbill sponsors seem slow but overall I'd say things are good.

Have some plans for a few sites I have now I just need to implement them.

Fonz · 2005-01-14, 09:33 AM

Slow here overall.
+ my main PC blew up so had to spend a lot of time getting everything back up and running.

Dude what a bummer...I hope you didn't loose alot of stuff

swedguy · 2005-01-14, 09:55 AM

For 4 years I've never seen any kind of season or holiday slowdown in signups. But these first 2 weeks have been real shitty. I guess that's a sign I have to work harder

Or maybe it is a good time to spin things alittle differently

Still too soon for me to tell how 2005 will be but December of last year was my highest grossing month since I've been in this biz.

That sound great Cleo and I hope it get's even better

Trax · 2005-01-14, 01:34 PM

conversions are a bit sucky compared to december

TondaB · 2005-01-14, 02:47 PM

Hank,

The New Year has been going great for Twisted Cash thus far. Congratulations on your new gig, it sounds very exciting! I bet we can find a way to work together too. Hit me up on ICQ if you are interested and we can chat

RawAlex · 2005-01-14, 03:21 PM

Actually 2005 is starting out on a good note, sales have been reasonable, traffic is a bit better, and Google seems to be finally getting itself back in order. As a bonus, Yahoo really seems to like my stuff, and has rewarded me for it.

As a bonus, I am making some technical back off changes that will allow me to expand certain parts of my business that I never did before.

it's all good.

Alex

RawAlex · 2005-01-14, 06:59 PM

yeah, you never know where a Canuck can turn up next!

It's funny, I was looking at some stats "this year last year" sort of thing, and I was truly amazed to see that really things are a bit better this year than last. More importantly, I think some recent FTC actions against a group of spammers might give some other adult spammers a moment's pause, and I think that bodes well for the free site and TGP industry.

I personally have noticed that porn spam, except from ******** is down.

(love them *****s)

Spam maybe down in Canada but I still get a shit load of it here...maybe since I'm not with skin anymore my spam will go away

Mishi · 2005-01-15, 03:15 AM

Congrats on the new biz, Hank!

2005 started off with a bang, and quickly started whimpering. I'm making some changes, and figure it'll all work out in the end. (All digits crossed.)

If we get to see you in Phoenix/Tempe in April, I just know everything will be OK.

TondaB, I'm glad things are going good and I'm sure we will find some ways to work together.

Torn Rose · 2005-01-15, 11:11 AM

Mine has started off ok, but has the potential to totally kick ass.

I just took a job managing a mobile blog site yesterday so that is something new and exciting to look forward to, and we have plans to work with some others on an idea that has a shit load of potential, so I am REALLY looking forward to that.

But, after 2004 we are taking it one day at a time, hate to get a busted bubble so soon in the New Year.
