The Quixtar Porn Publisher?

By QBlog in

WARNING: The links in this post are to adult content. Consider yourself warned.

Discovered the self-proclaimed "Diary of a Porn Publisher" while searching Google this evening. The author claims to have a successful adult Web site business. What drew my attention to his blog was the mention of Quixtar in the December 2002 archives. In the post titled "My Day" he says:

I'm supposed to go to my son's tomorrow for a meeting with those Quixtar business people he wants me to get into business with. I spent all morning and part of the afternoon researching the business on the net. It turns out it's Amway. They've changed the name and come up with new terminology, but it's still the same product line and the MLM works the same. The main difference is that you order product online and have it shipped directly to you instead of having a pickup at your direct distributor's house.

Now, I have nothing against Amway. Some people are making a good living at it. But, statistically, one in ten thousand Amway distributors (called IBO's in the new Quixtar terminology) reach the level of income I currently get from my adult website business. Can I make money from this? It really depends on whether or not they can support an internet-oriented sales market. I can't sell it in the traditional manner because I don't know anyone personally anymore.

Interesting.

Hey Q,

I think you may have stumbled upon a great way to increase traffic to your blog!

Just start accepting nude pics of everyone in the forum, and post them occaisonally to the side of your blog entries.

Something like RateMyNudeExIBO.com

You know, this guy has a good point. Maybe I should just drop all of this Quixtar nonsense and open up my own porno web site. Lord knows I have the capabilities. I mean, why risk it, y'know? Why try for something that may or may not work when pornography has a proven record of success?

Oh, now you've done it. By linking to me in your blog, you just became #2 out of 185,000 if someone does a search for porn publisher at Google.
