Lesson #29 Getting Professional Help
Written By Titmowse

No. You're not crazy. Sometimes we all need a little professional help.

It's not easy being and adult webmaster, especially a new adult webmaster. There are so many skills to learn. Not only do you have to know how to build a website, you have to know how to design it, how to market it and most importantly, how to make money from it. As an individual, you're expected to wear many hats and the weight can be rather hard to endure.

We created Cozy Academy to help relieve some of your burden.

With all the things you need to learn, we like to think of ourselves as a kind of treasure map. We point you to the steps (skills) along the way and when you get to your destination, you're rich from the wisdom you gained in the journey. We can't travel the route for you. We can't make you study. All we can do is show you the way.

Just the same, it doesn't seem fair that you have to become proficient at so many talents. Why isn't it enough to master HTML, graphic design and layout? Why is it necessary to become a salesman, programmer, content provider, billing specialist and lawyer too? What is this business, a conspiracy of the supergeniuses? Is Cozy trying to say that only those with God-like powers deserve to be adult webmasters?

No. We're not telling you that. We're not telling you that you have to dominate in every skill. The adult webmaster that is adept at all the talents required for success probably doesn't exist. We all have our strengths and weaknesses when it comes to different aspects of this industry.

The fact is, most adult webmasters acquired their skills out of necessity. The designer learned about proper HTML coding in order to make his page look the way he envisioned. The content producer becomes an expert at obscenity law because ignorance puts him in jail. The TGP owner develops an aptitude for traffic generation and trade scripts because without the hits, he's dead in the water.

Take a deep breath and relax. You're not going crazy. Adult webmastery is hard. There is a lot to learn. You want to familiarize yourself with all of it but the truth is, nobody expects you to be omnipotent.

Help is out there and it's just a click away.

Whatever skill you're lacking in, whatever talent you need, a professional provider can do the job for a reasonable price. From models to designers to scripting, if you have the dollars, they have the goods.

The adult Internet is a thriving industry and one of the offshoots of our success is specialization. Whatever professional service you need, it's out there. Do you want to hire in in-house model for your new paysite? Look to an adult talent Agency. Would you like to have a tracking script that you can call your very own? Search for a scripting/software development service. Do you want to create a site that looks good and loads quickly but you're just not that talented of a designer? Hire a professional. Literally hundreds of individuals and companies specialize in services geared toward the adult Internet.

Mind you, a professional service is not a replacement for adult webmaster know-how. It's not like you can just forget about understanding HTML because you hired a web designer. If you contract a model from a talent agency, you're still going to have to know how to photograph and light her. When you pay for a script, you're going to have to be familiar with how to implement it and how to monitor it.

Most importantly, you have to be learned enough to know when it's time to go pro. Are you just beginning? Are you experimenting with sites or are you already making money? Are you so busy you need the outside help or are you just too unsure of your own abilities? Is your problem a lack of talent or is it a lack of0 drive? If you're not succeeding because you're not working hard enough, no professional in the world can save you.

If you're ready, truly ready to hire a professional, visit Cozy Frog. We list pro services in almost every category. Talent, scriptwriters, text writers, designers and more. When you're ready to find your treasure, we'll have the map ready.
