I have arrived at the Adult Entertainment Expo! Las Vegas, I am here – and I am ready to tear up the town!

Since I did get on a plane at 6 am I’m a little beat. So I’ll freshen up, transform my travel-worn hair, face and clothes into sexy and cute, and go talk to all the wonderful stars!

I will start live tweeting soon and will post pics to the 7 Veils blog and Twitter feed.

Stay tuned!

Going to Porn-Con! AEE, here I come!

AEE Logo

On Friday I am heading off to the biggest show in adult entertainment…Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE), also affectionately known as Porn-Con. AEE is the biggest conference of the entire year for everything that concerns adult entertainment.   Everyone in the industry will be there:  meeting, connecting, selling, networking and showcasing.  So yes, I will be there too.

I will be part of a panel called Selling Through Social Networks. Moderated by Jay Kopita from Ynot.com this panel features brilliant and well-informed co-speakers: Eric Bernstein from Embalaw.com, Danny Dover from SEOmoz.org, Peter Housely from Naughty Tweet, and Matt Pierce from Pink Visual.  I am looking forward to being with such an exciting group of industry leaders.  Make sure you come and see us!

Besides schmoozing with all the wonderful stars and speaking on the social media panel, I’ll be at the AVN Award Show. This is the biggest award night in the industry, and I can’t wait to see all the beautiful stars walking the red carpet.

I will be live tweeting and posting pics throughout the weekend.  I will even try to get some video to share with you when I get back…maybe even some fun and sexy stuff from the show.  So follow me on Twitter to get the live tweets, @7_veils or check in on the blog to see what I post.

5 Ways to Prepare for 2011

What are you plans for 2011?

The New Year is here! Many of us are still wrapping up last year, starting to think about the this year and planning how we are going to make it bigger, better and bolder.

Don’t forget that traditional business strategies are relevant for non-traditional businesses.  If you are in porn, a producer, a director, a star, a dancer, a phone girl, a model or a webmaster, remember that you are building your business, brand and image – you have to look forward and make plans for growth and development.

Be smart and sexy!

Get Ready for 2011

Business Development Plan: Create a plan that outlines the growth you want to see. Is it expanding your network? Adding to your client list? Creating a marketing strategy? Take a look at where you are, then envision where you want to be a year from now. How can you get from point A to point B? Time to start writing down your game plan.

  • Your Progress: One of the best ways to review and renew a business plan is to take a look at how far you have come. Did you meet your goals this year? Do you need to change your focus? Where were you a year ago and where are you now? Take a moment to appreciate how much you accomplished.
  • Define your Brand Focus: It doesn’t matter if you are an individual or a business, if you are IN business you have a brand. Take a look at how that brand has developed in the past year.  Check to see if you are properly promoting it and establishing a true brand image.
  • Finish up: When we get ready to move forward it is really easy to leave things undone. Make sure that you finish what you started. Get your end-of-year taken care of: paperwork, taxes, projects. Take this opportunity to prepare for 2011 by making sure that you wrap up 2010 and tie the loose ends.
  • Give yourself a break: You have worked hard this past year, and quite possibly even harder during the holidays.  Give yourself permission to take a break. If you want to kick ass in 2011, you can’t be burnt out from 2010.
