Happy New Year From
Payout!
ell here we are again,
Wanother January: month of
the jump back into the frestorm of
back-to-back tradeshows, sudden
travelling, delayed fights and
mysteriously misplaced luggage.
Those of you who know me know
I’m always starting new projects
and plans, so I’m ready for it more
than ever!
Coming on the heels of last year,
when I started another bigger
better bar in Cebu AND helped
create a New Mike - yes! a Mini-Me
who is bigger and better and much
cuter than me (but not by much
lol) - the upcoming convention
onslaught almost doesn’t get me
excited (yeah right!).
So we’ll be running headlong into each other at The XBiz Show and Internext and The Adult
Entertainment Expos and their Awards shows plus at side-shows and the inevitable unexpected
happenings and more - all bearing down on us like a runaway train!
I try to cover them all! Sometimes I wonder how... looking over the pics later, seems like I was
in two places at once. So if you see one of me at any time, ask for a magazine and give me those
business cards to run the chance of winning a free ad in our pages...
Speaking of which, turn to these you’re holding for some fne informational and sometimes
entertaining bits from the fne brains covering our industry. Find out the Benefts of Drupal over
other content management softwares, tremble at the rise of the planet of the cam girls, then gear
down to get paid when you’re just starting out in this business.
This issue also presents the return of a feature we introduced last year: a new “Payout Innerview”,
featuring a face familiar at shows world-wide: Mr. Paul Armstrong, aka PAR on the boards and
Facebook.
Getting educational, we provide some new billing data for processing mobile users, get down
to brass tacks on establishing a webmaster program, and spell out the ABCs of how to write for
yourself and your business even if you don’t think you’re a writer.
And of course we have the meat of the matter - my photo coverage of two big gatherings last
year! Have a look at what your sponsor dollars get you from the memorable Island Gathering 2016
in beautiful Vietnam, and then join us again for a new 69Cash post-European Summit two-day
“War And Race” event courtesy of the good folks at IMaxCash.
All of which is only a taste of what we have waiting for us just this month alone, I can feel it...
So it’s a new month in a new year and a new convention season shifting into gear, let’s start
something new together!
