Not really something I'm willing to discuss openly. Online stuff during that time period, all B2C. These days it's all B2B.
Key aspect back then was going for the mass market, seriously targeted most of the US population.
These days it's the reverse, extremely targeted, but high value product.
I know right *sigh*
Different night, different party.
Decided to "make it rain", each of us on that ledge threw up $100 in singles for the fawk of it. I'm all about trying things once.
Hiring models on the other hand, it's about finding new points of amusement. Kinda like hiring a midget as a bouncer and having them escort you around the place, or putting them on your shoulders and running around - it's a once off novelty. I try to do something new every year on my bday.
Yup lol
I can't remember if I enjoyed it, but what I remember (minus the money) it was 6/10 - definite 9/10 for my buddy. Definitely was not a top 10 or even top 20 night for me, 72k or not. Had way funner nights for dirt cheap. Also had great nights spending a lot.

to cut down on flakiness with models, use an agency.
if u hire one urself for say $200 - it's not enough for her to get too excited and she may flake at last second to whoop it up with friends. $200 is chickenfeed to her.
make it $2g's and she'll dust ur knob for it.Weight Loss: Go carnivore or keto combined with 16/8 IF. It'll create easy calorie deficit. Meat is good and heals, stop being lied to.

Haha true dat. Aussies know how to overdo it!
Hard to say, maybe $200k? The majority being between mid 2011 till early 2014.
It's a little harder to spend money now that I'm in the Philippines full time. Open bar Christmas party for my employees was only around $1k. Bday this year was like $3,500 with open bar for ~100 people. Premium VIP tables at major concerts are "only" around the $2-3k mark.
Before 2012, my main hobby was motorcycles, and it wasn't difficult to 4-5 figures in a month on that with trakdays. But I live in Illinois at the time, so trackdays were only half the year. I don't enjoy clubbing unless a) I have a table and get treated like I own the place or b) it's more of a rave.
It's basically a ripoff. You pay for privacy, not lap dances. If you spend enough, that may get you a little further, but that is VERY unlikely in Vegas. The sloots at Spearmint Rhino there make six figures without and don't even need to take their panties off. Friend of mine made $2-300k/year there, and she isn't even that pretty.
I learned to go through the photographers rather than the agencies.
FWIW that FHM model was not cheap by local standards. The main reason for flaking was the fear of "topless" in a club where their friends might see them.
Haha I feel the same way sometimes when talking to my friends.
BRB friends have their own planes and yachts
BRB lets take speedboat to Cuba
BRB just flying myself from SD to LV in my jet
I'm sure they feel the same sometimes. There is always someone with a bigger wallet and more spare time on their hands.

OP, seeing you have experience in the IT start-up field. Which IT/programming skills are vital? Or is it more important to have peoples skills to outsource the work?
I tried outsourcing some stuff to indians, but the work was garbage unless they were told exactly what to do. Even then, they just tried to rip me off.Nullius in verba

Hands down, marketing and UI. I believe strongly in a top down approach.
If you don't understand marketing, you'll miss the mark with your product. To draw a comparison to BB, think Strong Lifts vs Starting Strength; we all know which one SHOULD be preferred.
After you know what you're marketing and how to market it, you've got UI. It doesn't matter how many lines of code you write or how advanced what you build is, if the interface sucks then people will look elsewhere for a solution. Once you have your UI design figured out, you can move onto design (making it pretty), coding, and making it scale, etc...
FWIW I'm primarily a backend coder; old school scener (not many of you will get the reference), happy to disassemble code and write assembly, configure a Cisco router, scale a database, or build a custom caching layer. But every single project I've worked with that succeeded started with a top down approach with code being (almost) the last thing to be started.
If you have everything else figured out (down to the smallest detail) before you get to the code, you should be able to get just about any coder to do the rest for you till you have a prototype.
Don't outsource, period. You'll (almost) always get substandard work back if it's delivered on time, and anyone who is "good" will some level of eccentric/autistic and deliver good (unfinished) work whenever it pleases them.
There are exceptions of course, but few and far between.
Personal experience with India.. horrible for outsourcing. Philippines is a little better, but the skill levels tend to be crap (great country for graphics work, though). Eastern Europe has reasonable rates, good coders, good design work, and the culture tends to understand western culture just enough.
