Webmaster's Corner

Interview with Voltar

DFN: This week's interview (the first in what we hope will be a long series) is with Voltar, President of the VNWR Newbie Webmaster Board.
Lets get the real basic stuff first...
Voltar: My name is Voltar, I'm 39, and live in Indiana.

DFN: Why did you pick the nick, Voltar?
Voltar: It came from the Voltar comic book and the Voltar charactor in Rook Comics, 1977 to 1979.

DFN: How often do you try new building ideas, or using new sponsors?
Voltar: Building, every day. New Sponsors, at least 2 a month either new sponsor or a new niche within a sponsor that I am already promoting.

DFN: And how often do you build new sites?
Voltar: Daily

DFN: We know you never sleep... about how many hours a week are you able to put into your business?
Voltar: At least 70 a week, sometimes more.

DFN: Do you do everything by hand? or do you use some scripts to automate your work?
Voltar: Most everything I build is done by hand. I do a lot of research and development with OTScripts. I do use programs like TGSW daily.

DFN: Do you have any tips for us on how you stay focused and organized working for yourself?
Voltar: No radio or TV in the office. Drink more Mt. Dew than a normal man can stand... You need to finish every project you start. Always have good documentation and keep everything you need for each project you are working on easily accessable.

DFN: Can you touch on how and why you got involved into this industry, and how long you have been doing it?
Voltar: I've been doing this since before the net, working on BBS's and chat. I wanted to make money online to pay my AOL bill...

DFN: Where do you see yourself several years from now?
Voltar: See myself? Living on top of a mountain that I own somewhere in Kentucky, surrounded by satalite dishes, with wall to wall computers. I'd like to be able to use virtual reality on the net.

DFN: What area in terms of site building do you specialize in, if any?
Voltar: Everything. I do all types of sites and revenue generators available.

DFN: What do you consider your 3 best niches?
Voltar: There's 4; Shockers, BBW, Anime, and Mature.

DFN: What do you consider to be your strengths in this business?
Voltar: My openness and willing to network with other webmasters. I give a hand up not a hand out. I look to help fellow webmasters bring an entire generation into a new era of the porn business.. porn businessmen not porn swingers.

DFN: What is the best advice you were given when you were first getting started in this industry and what advice could you give a newbie just starting out these days?
Voltar: Best advice I was given? "Fuck you. You're a newbie and I'm not helping."
Advice I would give... read the Newbie Quick Start Guide, post to the VNWR Board, get your name known in the business, and Network everytime possible.

DFN: What do you think is the worst thing going on with future of our industry right now? ...and what is the best?
Voltar: The worst would be the overuse of content. Certain link lists encourage the use of lots of free pics. They encourage webmasters to give free porn not free samples. Another bad thing going on is the large ISP's such as AOL, who basically mislead the surfer into believing that when they buy a membership with AOL, they have bought the whole internet.
The best... VNWR. We approach this industry in a business maner. Also, the WFA, making webmaster friendly resources.

DFN: And finally... do you have a URL you want to plug?
Voltar: CloudCash.com
