JBM Interviews

JUSTIN:
I first started working in the industry for a Kid named Greg Rosebeary. We were a small giant back then. There were only a few of us running 200+ computers & sending 250+ joins a day to multiple sponsors... but those days are long gone.

The operation was running strong, but Greg took off to the Philippines to find himself a wifey + check into some other ventures.

He was recently murdered in Manila by his wife =(

JBM:
Where did you work after your boss bounced? How did you end up working for quickbuck? What did you do for quickbuck?

JUSTIN:
After the downfall of GCI. I became a mexican for a while and worked in a packing shed. It was okay though. Luckily, i was related to all the bosses.. so i spent most of my time sleeping and sneaking away from work to go fix wisemans computer before he got his mac..

When It got the to point where i spent more time at wisemans' than my real jo b... and after months of me begging hooper for a job they showed me some love and brought me on full time.

JBM:
What are some major points you learned about the business while working for Ar lo and Ryan?

JUSTIN
If i told you what i learned from Wisemans and Ar lo... i'd be ignoring pretty much everything they taught me =)

But I can say they taught me a lot of good shit =) Cause we are blowing up at a pretty rapid pace. Obviously we aren't where we want to be yet, but we never will be where we want to be.. the industry moves to past and we will always strive to be the best.

JBM:
How did you meet your biz partner? Tell us the story of how you and Mason put together the plan for Traffic Gigolos.

JUSTIN:
Okay so here is where everyone's suspicions are confirmed. That i am the biggest geek on the planet. I met my business partner playing a game called starcraft, and then we moved on to warcraft and a couple other games. After having no lives and doing nothing but playing computer games together for 5+ years. We started talking about financial stuff, and i found out that he was a financial genius. Anyways.. he mentioned having money to invest and we decided to fly out to vegas to hang out. Had to make sure we actually got along .. since we had only talked on the internet.

We clicked, and talked about a bunch of opportunities i seen in this business. I've always seen a lot of potential in it, but i know me... and i knew that I couldn't do it on my own. After vegas, I knew i had struck love. I had found my better half!

JBM:
How did Mason end up so rich, he's very young.

JUSTIN:
Mason inherited some money, and turned it into a WHOLE BUNCH OF MONEY. He's only 23, but the guy is a financial genius. He does a lot with real estate, stocks, and of course TrafficGigolos.com.

JBM:
Is running an affiliate program easier/harder then you expected?

JUSTIN:
Running a program is a lot harder than I thought. It's not something I'd suggest for anyone trying to make a quick easy buck. I started trafficgigolos.com not knowing as much as I thought i did... but with people like Mason (forsaken), Brett (dormbucks.com), Wiseman and Arlo from (quickbuck.com) all their to help guide me.. it was pretty much cake! (other than the 16 hour days i'm still putting in) I got to learn from a lot of very different types of people. Yeah, i'm a rip off.. i just take other people's outlooks on things and choose the one i like best =)

JBM:
Who is your hero in the industry?

JUSTIN:
Dee from DeeCash.com. I'm convinced that he is taking over the internet. I really admire the fact that he is so young, but yet so motivated and professional. He's treats everyone with respect, and tries to make everyone feel like a king. I wanna be like Dee when i grow up.

JBM:
With new laws, new government officials, and new law proposals, where do you see our industry going in the next 5 years?

JUSTIN:
I do not think the sky is falling in the industry as many do... but i do think regulations will get a bit tighter and there will be a lot less "free porn" in 5 years. I'm not going to claim i've got a problem with that though. I also think the people in it to make a quick easy buck will be weeded out over the next 5 years. There will always be some... but the strong will always survive.

I expect to see a lot less sponsors depending on third party processors. Merchant accounts are the way of the future =) Btw.. i heard from a little bird that trafficgigolos.com will have their own domestic merchant next month. That's hot

JBM:
Do you have any plans in the mainstream market?

JUSTIN:
As far as mainstream... i'm happy right where i am at for now. I really enjoy working with all the people i work with.

JBM:
Tell us about Kayla Banks. How did you guys meet? How did the idea for the site come about? What is your relationship with Kayla?

JUSTIN:
What do you want to know? She's a great girl, and a blast to be around. She's also about the biggest goof ball i've ever met! It's cute.

As far as my relationship with her... she still won't let me hit it. So i hate her!

Me And Kayla are friends from the same hometown. She likes money, and we like money. So we decided a site of her own would be a great idea.

JBM:
Do you have any plans for a gay solo male site?

JUSTIN:
Only if i can get Ian (why) to be my star. He's the perfect twink mag.

JBM:
Time travel back to 98. What do you do differently?

JUSTIN:
Instead of working for the man (boy at the time). I would have clicked up with the tech guy who i'm still really good friends with and been the man.

I also would have fired wiseman. I hated him =) lol

There actually wasn't much I could do back then. I was still pretty young. I'm very happy with where i am at in my life. I'm still only 23 and have plenty of time to grow.

JBM:
How many kids do you have?

JUSTIN:
I've got 3 kids. Yeah I know .. a lot of kids for such a young guy. I love kids though. I've got a 7 year old boy named Seth. He just took 3rd in state in wrestling. He's my little monster. I've also got a 7 year old daughter who is 6 weeks younger than my son. She's starting soccer now, my next superstar!

2 Girls pregnant at 15 .. that was crazy.

And then last but not least we've got daddies baby =) Kaylee Jean. My 2 1/2 year old. I'm not her biological father, but i've raised her since she was 2 months old. So I look at her no differently than my other kids. Every baby needs a daddy =)

JBM:
Tell us a funny story from your days in the quickbuck offices

JUSTIN:
Ha, working with wiseman.. there was a funny story everyday. But I think his wife takes the cake.

We got waisted together when wiseman was away at a show.. and i ended up getting with some chick... then after i got mine.. the girl got all sappy on me and weirded me out.. so i called my ex to come get me and took off and ditched the chick and Ryan's with Jamie and a bunch of her friends.

Jamie tried to track me down all night to drop the girl off at my house but couldn't find my apartment. The next day when i checked my messages I had about 10 of them from Jamie telling me i was fired and i better not come to work. So of course .. i hid out, and didn't come to work until wiseman got back and saved me! Jamie scares me! We are still really good friends though =) She's the reason i hang out with Wiseman.

JBM:

If anyone is interested i'd be glad to show you some sneak previews via aim or icq.

We are also launching our 2nd solo girl site this month. Rikki's a hottie just like kayla.. but for a totally different bunch of servers. We are working hard to provide our affiliates with every tool available. Also, i'm a strong mix of A.D.D AND OCD! So you'll never stop seeing big things from us=)
