IIn Business for ten years, we
currently make about six million per year in revenue with no
corporate office, no employees,
and no inventory. We created the first affiliate program
for adult products back in 1996 and still
have one of the largest affiliate networks for selling sextoys online (SextoySex.com). We are also one of the largest at
selling sextoys at wholesale prices online (SextoyClub.com).
We also sell mintues to watch porn on the internet through SextoyTV.com.
All the adult product properties are marketed under our flagship domain
SEXTOY.com. To see a comprehensive list of
domains owned by Convergence Inc., check out GreatAdultLinks.com.
The company is 100% owned by
Dave Levine. This site,
WCOOL.com is
Dave Levine's personal site for
expressing opinions, "so that I don't have to annoy my friends with my
stupid opinions."
Business Philosophy:
- Vision is Power - The old adage used to be knowledge is power, but that was when
information was scarce. Now that information is plentiful and inexpensive, knowledge is
pretty easy to come by. The key today is vision. Advances in computers have
given us the tools to do great things. For example, building a site on the WWW is easy and
inexpensive. The hard part is not figuring out how to use computers or the internet; the
hard part is deciding what to do with all this power. Knowledge is important, but without
a vision, you'll find yourself paralyzed by indecision.
- Business is Art - Building an organization that earns profits is a creative process, but for
some reason there is a rift between artists and business people. Businessmen stifle
creativity by putting on blue suits and joining the corporate autocracy while most artists
feel that a concern for money will inhibit their artistic expression. My goal is to show
that an artistic business person will earn more money than the conservative businessman
and will create more relevant art than the starving artist.
- The Pursuit for Profits is Noble - Each business transaction is an agreement that a trade of money for
goods is a net gain for all parties. If you want to feed the poor, instead of
begging for donations; start a company, work hard for 20 years, then sellout and use
your wealth to build a well funded organization to help the poor.
- Build a life, not a company - Building a system that earns money is an important
part of life, but for a complete happy life, we also need to focus on
being good at building relationships,
staying healthy, having fun, etc.
- Be creative with work partnerships - The employer/employee relationship is a social contract rather than a
business contract. Rather than hire, I prefer partnerships, software, and consultants. We
focus on cash for work results, and rely on friends and family (not the corporation) to
focus on health and social well being.
- Focus - If you
pick a focus, you can become the best at it and earn profits by selling to those who can't
possibly compete with you because they aren't as focused as you. Being the best
within a specific focus can earn you money, while trying to do many things will not allow
you to become a valuable provider of any one thing. We choose our business
niches carefully and seek to dominate the sector we focus on.
