The Asian Female Webmaster

Who brings you perverts your daily asian filth! in our case who brings you asian photos to jerk off too!

Today lets focus on the web masters in the asian niche. Better yet the asian female web master! Who better to interview than the girls who run their own sites, trade traffic, and deal with the ins and outs of the online game, so to speak.

Its a difficult job and not as glamourous as some people think, I myself run 5 "Thumbnail Gallery Post" pages and am webmaster to a few asian model sites. This whole business has jaded me to some extent, at times I would rather leave the photography of these beautiful asian models to someone else. I then wouldn't have to deal with negotiation, no-shows, contracts, make-up artist, costume designers, production designers. etc..

The behind the scenes work and planning is hard enough as it is with the constant marketing that never ends, post production on photos and video, and update after update that come weekly or daily for the more ambitious. Automation and finding shortcuts is the key to success. There is never enough time. what can save you minutes here and there will save you hours and days in the long run.

There's the constant research and staying on top on new trends and keeping track of thieves who want to steal your hard work as theirs!. The bigger your name gets the more people will try to take from you. Copyright infringement is a major deal. How would you like to make your living modeling, a proffession based on your looks and body a comodity that is not there forever. You then turn around and find out someone else has taken your hard earn work passing it off as theirs. Your copyrighted photos found on someones elses site, sold in a different country etc. Image is everything and you only have it for a short time in regards to models. Your looks are a commodity that needs to be taken care of and look after.

The asian female model / web mistress has decided to take things into her own hands and put the profits back into their own pockets!

There are many out there! Its not to say they can do everything themselves. Some do but the smart ones put a team together to work for them. You dont have to know everything, just need to know the lingo and dialog to communicate with those who do know.

Some Web mistress have a fetish for numbers, stats etc. As in traffic traders such as "WebGurl" who runs Asian Sex Clips (www.asiansexclips.com) and is the moderator for www.foogie.com an asian niche web master board. Not to mention a few non asian adult traffic sites.

Other have decided to take control of their own image in a male dominated business such as Satomi Mizuno who runs Sexy Satomi and owns Japan Kiss an asian niche TGP. Or how about Raven Kay Lee currently using the web as a calling card but has a multimedia business on the side! Most of these girls if not all have side business along with their adult based endeavors.

Lets ask these women about the asian niche and their viewpoints! How are they perceived by their colleagues, is it a plus or minus (asian & female)

Satomi Mizuno
WebGurl
Raven Kay Lee

Corbu: Introduce Yourselves! Name Rank & Serial Number!

Satomi: Satomi Mizuno of sexysatomi.com!
WebGurl: Webgurl!
Raven: Name: Raven Kay Lee ... rank: Seperson Kay CEO... serial number? lol none. My name is Raven, and I'm a 19 year-old, Asian-American (cambodian, french, chinese) small business owner living in San Diego Ca, who happens to model,sing , and act.

Corbu: What sites do you run or own?

Satomi: www.sexysatomi.com & Japan Kiss
WebGurl: www.asiansexclips.com (Asian Movie & Photo TGP), www.freshtars.com (A custom clothing company)
Raven: I run www.ravenkaylee.com, www.blackgoatent.com, www.beautifulsirens.com, www.lipcom.com, www.nicolemilan.com.. and a bunch more.

Corbu: Do you feel being asian and female helps you do the things you need to do to run an adult site?

Satomi: Being female and running an adult site is very difficult. It is an industry usually run by males so overcoming that can be a challenge. However, being asian, and female has it's advantages as well. It makes me a little different than the rest and puts me in a category that is rare. That uniqueness allows me to market myself as something different and I think that can be very attractive to my audience.
WebGurl: okay being asian female gives me a little extra edge in terms of my traders lots of people cut me slack . I am glad I am not talent / model that is running my own site though. As for running adult sites I do it for some extra experience and $$ .

Corbu: Do you feel the internet is changing to accept asian web masters.

Satomi: I am still fairly new to the internet and being an asian web master, but I have noticed that most sites these days have a lot of asian content associated with them. This to me tells me that if the demand for this is there then it has to become more accepted.
Raven: I think they are more aware of it now. There are plenty of asian web masters, but the face of who they were weren't clear. People are pretty shocked though to find out that sometimes the pretty face in the photos does know a thing or too.

Corbu: Very good point about the shocked aspect. They shouldn't be shocked just because you want to take things into your own hands unlike the norm!

Raven: Yes, very true.

Corbu: Do you know of many other asian web mistress whom have taken the business into their own hands

Satomi: I know of a couple of other girls that do what I do and it actually makes me feel good that they are doing what I am doing. I know that some of them want to compete and that to me isn't what I want to do. The way I see it is that it is still very rare and more women should run a web site. Having something in common with someone is a comforting thing when dealing with other web masters.
Raven: Let's see. Asia Carrera, Alicia Bonifacio, Akira Lane.
WebGurl: Asian female web masters... I know about 3

Corbu: I have noticed the adult business is ripe for the taking by female web masters if they have the skills. Must be easier to get models to shoot with just by having the perspective of the "female", Any insight on this?

Satomi: Yes and no. It is easier to talk to other models about working with me or doing a shoot with me, but the way I do things is so different from the usual way of adult shoots that some girls find it kind of weird. I think that they are used to being treated like an object by the horny disrespectful guys that are sometimes associated with the adult industry and when I offer to work with them and how I want to respect them they tend to question why I am being so nice.
Raven: Hmmmm.. I believe it's easier to get models because you're a female yes. It's on a comfort level.

Corbu: What advice do you have on a model or asian female wanting to get into the adult business in any capacity.

Satomi: I would advise any girl that wants to get into this business to take control of what they are doing. Don't let someone take advantage of you. Especially if it is you in the pictures. The photographer might have talent, but the people looking at the pictures are looking at them because they want to see you. So rather than the typical Model works for the photographer situation it should be the reverse.
WebGurl: Well I am just giving my personal perspective because I never done it myself in that direction, but before you enter in the model aspect of the bizz u should be physically and mentally ready regardless if you are just doing simple nude modeling or hardcore... Also take in the fact that this can change you for life .
Raven: I'm a control freak. And I always have to have things my way. I'd like to get things right the first time, than the next, which was why I took things into my own hands. Know who you are working with, get the correct information, and etc. A driver's license if you have to. I've worked with many unscrupulous people. Even had to sue a few. You have to find someone you trust, and love working with. And also, keep in mind what you want. Don't let others pressure you into doing what you don't want to.

Corbu: Have you gotten any emails from asian or asian females denouncing what you do or your site? if so what do you have to say in response Any views how asian females are portrayed in the media?

Satomi: Yes I have gotten e-mails from girls telling me that they are just disgusted with what I am doing and how it is setting the female race back. I typically look at it as an interesting situation, because they don't see the whole picture. They don't see that I am accomplishing something that a lot of females don't do. Being in charge and showing my liberation in a healthy and prosperous way.
Raven: Yes, I've had some asian females saying that 'my modeling' is wrong. I believe they're just close-minded. We're living in an era where women can think and do just as any man can. If a man wants to pose nude, watch porn, so can we! Most of them don't know I am behind the site, however. And they're, again, quite shocked to find out. I just tell them that I'm living life just fine, as long as I have what I want in perspective. Asian females are viewed quite wrong in the media as I see it. They see us as either a butt-kicking karate-chopping ninja, or a porn queen. I think it's funny. To every ethnicity you have the good and the bad. We're often stereotyped.

Corbu: Satomi I have noticed that having a name such as yours associated with your side projects such as japan kiss has helped you with surfers is this true?

Satomi: Yes this is true. I think that people see most of these asian sites run by guys that merely like asian girls and it gives it a little different perspective. For me it is who I am so I tend to en corporate my personality into a project that is focused on asian females. For example... On Japan-kiss I have made it very well known to people that submit pictures that they don't use words such as whore, cunt or Jap! This to me is offensive and hopefully that concern comes across to my surfers.

Corbu: Do you feel this trend of trust or lack of trust associated with producer of adult content will change any time soon and what are you doing about the issue.

Satomi: I think that it is natural for people not to trust other people. I feel the same way when corresponding with new people, but I have found that the same is true when it comes to trusting people after you get to know them more and what their habits are. So as a rule I want to make sure that people can trust me and so when they tell others about me they will hear something good about me.

Corbu: What have you learned from the adult web site business and what trends do you forsee in the future

Satomi: I have learned that it is much more difficult that it might seem. It is like anything else out there in that you get what you put into it. I also know that the effects of everything else that is happening in the world effects the adult web business as well. It is up and down at times, but I think that the future is going to be great.

Corbu: Satomi thats a great way of seeing the what you do with you behind the wheel!... so you lead by example then

Satomi: Yes do to others what you would want them to do to you.

Corbu: Webgurl, what have you learned from the traffic game, what new trends do you forsee in the future.

WebGurl: With the traffic game its really fun , I have learnt allot some stuff I like to keep secret and having a boyfriend who has been in the industry for a good 6 yrs or so gives me allot of tips . I guess something I learnt is ITS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT THE QUANTITY but the QUALITY

Corbu: Yes I have noticed the quality is better than quantity and I agree certain trade secrets should be kept secret in this business. is there allot of competition?

WebGurl: Competition of course depends what niche u are doing , the Asian one yes its very difficult . Other more microniches seem to convert better versus mainstream sites like teens, porn stars, ect.......

Corbu: Webgurl The traffic game seems to be a fetish onto itself... you must like numbers and statistics...

WebGurl: Yes I luv to check my stats.

Corbu: Webgurl have you thought about being a stock broker?

WebGurl: Funny you mention that I have been offered a job as a broker for TRAFFIC that is , but the company was really shitty . hahahaha

Corbu: Some of you mentioned you had a small businesses, care to shed light on that?

Satomi: Still going after my Computer science degree! plus doing odd jobs here and there, translation services.
WebGurl: I know if I put full time effort into this industry I can make allot more than i do but I only do it part time... I have a mainstream local business here as well which is a priority to me... I am just seeing how it goes for a while basically what it is its a custom printed shirt company to get their logos on shirts done by silkscreening or embroidery for trade shows, sport teams, company staff teams, and other special events . The site is http://www.freshtars.com. If it doesn't workout for me by 2004 I will more than likely drop it and be a full time adult web master. I know there is allot of money to be made in there I just have to spend more time and effort into it :)
Raven: My business is a full-functioning media business. We do photography, as well as web design, video production... You name it. It's pretty successful. I never wanted to work for anyone, and I'm blessed that I'm my own boss and keep my own hours.

Corbu: Raven whats the web site address for anyone interested in your media development

Raven: Interested parties, can write to my business partner, and ask him: daniorevans@hotmail.com.

Corbu: Raven where would someone contact you to hire you for your talents as a model actress or singer

Corbu: Well yeah! (speaking to raven)

Raven: You suck. Here I thought I was special. Sniff. Booger! I thank you for the interview, and to all my fans to please look forward to a new version of my site soon. I think you'll all be pleasantly surprised.

Corbu: Satomi you have a great site and a great tgp which I know is doing well since I trade traffic with you. Do you have any announcements on the web master side you would like to make? do you have a rev share program? where do people contact you for traffic trades and gallery postings

Satomi: Thank you, Yes I have some good news for other web masters. After a lot of thinking and consideration I have decided that I would start a rev share program for other web masters to make money along side of me. If anyone would like to participate in my rev share they can e-mail me at satomi@sexysatomi.com or visit http://secure.ibill.com/cgi-win/ccard/rscookie.exe?RevShareID=cherrysatomi&returnto=http://www.sexysatomi.com/rev share.html

Started with the Asian Niche then developed a TGP .
