I myself come from a tech background. So I would say I am mostly that.
However, I am forced ;) to deal with sales and marketing :) I hope I do it right :)

LaurieX 08-24-2004 12:37 PM

I am an account manager so I guess that falls under the customer service category and I do sales and marketing as well.

Penrod you made me hungry for a PB&J I must go make one now

luke 08-24-2004 12:39 PM

I think I'm in the same boat as others here, a little bit of everything. I'm the Production Manager of the office but I could probobly go on and on with other things I do between putting out daily fires, hiring new employees, answering icq's from Evil Chris, etc, etc.

baddog 08-24-2004 12:42 PM

mostly? got to be sales and marketing . . . but aren't we all in sales in some way?

sweetums 08-24-2004 12:44 PM

Sale and marketing.....and stats-junkie :)

Funbrunette 08-24-2004 12:50 PM

No option for lazy ass webmaster that sit, eat and drink

Platinum Moe 08-24-2004 12:51 PM

I do mostly sales and marketing here.

Vid Vicious 08-24-2004 12:55 PM

Content and design .. that's all I'm about

Scooter 08-24-2004 12:57 PM

My job is to make “Money” if it takes updating the member’s area, making a gallery or talking to other webmasters for Traffic then it gets done.

I’m fucking Superman !

Evil Chris 08-24-2004 01:00 PM

I forgot an option for content production.... :bonk:

SurfCat 08-24-2004 01:01 PM

I manage all the operations for FetishCash so all departments roll up to me. I'd say most of my time was spent originally revamping a lot of things. Now I'm moving most of my effort into sales and marketing.

splatshed 08-24-2004 01:06 PM

all of the above

modF 08-24-2004 01:07 PM

Like everyone else, I'm an all of the above person too. That is of course after I'm done being a tech first. In this industry, you really do need to wear many hats. My biggest hat is definitely a red hat, with my weakest area being sales. It's tough to be a "people person" when you are not one.



heh, "red hat". Get it? :)

Brad Mitchell 08-24-2004 01:08 PM

I just drive the ship.. I am fortunate to have a good team that splits up all of the daily responsibilities for MojoHost and 123Bill. I do some of the focused tasks for MojoHost like purchasing, billing and sales but all of the technical infrastructure is managed by the staff that I put in place - under my direction.

Well, where to start, basically I handle questions concerning AJ, AOL, ASP, AV, B2B, B2C, CPA, CPC, CPS, CTR, DH, FFA, HB, IM, INK, LS, MSN, NL, NSI, PFI, PFP, PPC, PPCSE, PPPL, PPS, PV, RON, ROS, SEO, SEP, UV, and WWW issues.

I field a couple dozen phone calls a day, a few hundred ICQ’s, and about a thousand emails. Not to mention the 25 newbie’s I chat with each and every day.

I post on four primary boards, boards which I feel have some cool peeps, friends, or are great resources including XNations, YNOT, Pimpboard and JBM.


I also do the sales, so all the advertising metrics are my department…such as the above mentioned CT, CTR, CR, CPA’s, CPM’s and CPC’s, PPC< PPCSE< PPS< . As well as all the CAC, HITS, IR, HM, PV, and Site Stickiness issues.

I manage over 450 ad campaigns daily and make sure the proper ads are with the proper campaigns and contracts.

The Webmaster ads themselves: banner ads, beyond the banner, button ads, HTML banner, interstitial, pop-up, pop under, rectangle, rich media, skyscraper, text, surround session, or vertical banner, are all under my supervision as well.

There is a definite online advertising plan including, the advertising network, caching, frequency caps, house ads, keyword marketing, rate card upgrades, rep firms and relations, RON’s, ROS’s, self-serve, sponsorship and underdelivary.


As for our affiliates on our sites, I oversee this department as well…including but not limited to: affiliate directory, affiliate forum, affiliate fraud, affiliate marketing, affiliate merchants, affiliate network, affiliate software, exclusivity agreements, payment thresholds, return days, super affiliates and two tier affiliates.

We have a software department which runs some big programs on the Net, including TS, MailCluster, and AdCluster. I oversee the relationships here.

As for business and e business: application service provider, the above B2B and B2C, disintermediation, guerilla marketing, free, first-mover advantage, interactive agency, markeging and business plans, and the network effect.

I moderate our chat boards, forums, and maintain a certain standard of netiquette at YNOTMasters.

I have to oversee our linking campaigns and strategies: ink checker, deep linking, inbound links, outbound links, and reciprocal links in our extensive Service Directory among other places…

These are just a few of my favorite things, but I would have to put the topper at co-hosting the HumpDay lunch show with LAJ…tomorrow we have Teagan Presley on, and she is as hot as they come! Not to mention bringing 100 Webmasters to a third world country twice a year.

RedShoe 08-24-2004 01:45 PM

Hmm.. I didn't really see my category, however I chose customer service and as I sober up a little bit as I write this I realize I fucked it up.

I was going to vote for video editor, but I figured since I made videos for my customers... I dunno, but I Think I fucked it up.

TopBucks Jenn 08-24-2004 01:46 PM

I mostly do Webmaster Support; some marketing & tradeshow coordination for TB :)

B O B 08-24-2004 01:56 PM

Oh yeah, that too...

but i forgot, in my spare time I sweep up LAJ's office with my handy anal broom...

llaurell 08-24-2004 02:02 PM

I run the sales and marketing division for both FlyntDigital.com and HustlerContent.com. It's always fun and challenging to wear several different hats, gotta love the fast pace. :-)

Now, if only Hustler would let me direct some of their movies ;-) hehehe j/k

sherie 08-24-2004 02:02 PM

I do a bunch of stuff. I am the Director of Sales for Guerilla Traffic and Porn Profit - I also have a say in all of our marketing campagins. That's just for GT and PP plus the here's and there's.

I have 2 mainstream companies www.dirtybishes.com which I own with Shann and another partner. This is a "Gutter-Mouth" t-shirt business. And my other mainstream business sort of cascades into our Consulting business, which Shannon is also a partner's in. We out source all the design and tecky stuff. We are the minds behind our shirt sayings for the most part, we also throw amazing parties etc., etc.

Too much to do and too little time to do it all in!!

And uh, missy miss Laurel...who are you kidding? You are not kidding LOL xo

I mostly build things in my free time, however I didn't see an option for being an xnations lurker. :)

PeerPatrick 08-28-2004 12:49 PM

majortom 08-30-2004 11:29 AM

I'm a wanna be content provider and soon will have a paysite.....asianxtrem.com :bonk:

I made my first big sale last week...500$ of content.

I've learn everything I know, at Ynotmasters.


And hope to be learning things here too.

MajorTom

PeerPatrick 08-30-2004 01:36 PM

I do like oatmeal raisin but they remind me of being a kid and all wanted was fucking chocolate chip cookies but my Sister and Dad liked oatmeal, sucked. I go to therapy 3x a week, my Shrink says I'm making progress.
