~~username~~, How long have you been working online?

[urb]

What I am asking is, what year was it when you first actually made some money from the adult business online?

[Cleo]

It was in the nineties, like around 97 or 98 but I didn't start making decent money until the 21st century.

[swedguy]

I started mid 2000, so I think it was end of 2000. At the same time I moved back to Sweden, so that whole time was just a big mess :)

[Greenguy]

Money? 1996

Decent money? 1997

Enough to do this full time? 1998 :D

[Fonz]

Beer money: 1997
Over 2k a month: 1997-1998
Back to beer money: 1999-2000-2001-2002-2003
Back to a decent amount of $$$: 2004-2005

[amadman]

If I remember right my first check was from a sexkey signup in 1999.

If you are talking about real money then my lazy has can't vote.

[shelmal]

Well started in 2000 but barely got by untill 2003. Thats when things really took off for me.

[SinSational]

2001, but it wasn't much.

[cd34]

I guess it depends. Directly earned money from advertising sites, Dec 2004.

Earning money through working in/with the adult industry doing programming/hosting, since 96...

[LindaMight]

I started a small free site in early 1999, it kept crashing due to "word of mouth". I was a paysite by the end of 1999. Money came pouring in, and I thought I was going to be a millionaire.....well ... I'm not, but I am making more money than I would have ever dreamed possible by having a stand alone website.

[LowryBigwood]

Who makes money? I thought this was all about fun!~ :)

That's a pretty neat thing you got going there, I can see your posts going through the roof with this neat little thing. :D

Good job guys!

[Bill]

I lost about 3k$ in 1997.

Made about $800 in 98.

Fulltime in 99.

Fulltime since.

[Theproofhouse]

What I am asking is, what year was it when you first actually made some money from the adult business online?

I got my last cheque a couple of days ago, from Silvercash. I can recomend them highly.
Notice that I don't have a webmaster referall. Oh shit, I must get myself more organised.

[Pagan]

heheh.. 1998 here. I think my first check was from FlashCash, and so was my most recent. I was also a phone sex operator with a website back then, so I made a nice little bundle. Heheh.. and as a laugh, I sent my better customers original short stories. I was doing 18-20 hour days easily back then. I have always made a little bit each year - nothing to write home about, though. In 1998, it was a couple hundred. In 1999, I probably made about 5K on the side.

My world changed radically in 1998.. I moved to Denver, telecom waved its magic finger in front of me, and I was soon making more in 2 weeks working fewer hours than I could with the porn business.

[Presmar]

I only made 7 g's last year which was my first full year in adult. Can I get a loan?...:)

[Barron]

I bought my first domain in 2001. Got my first check from Maxcash.

After a couple of failed projects offline, I came back adult fulltime a year ago.

[Torn Rose]

2000.....

and stop making threads about me. :)

[WWCDonMike]

ROFLMAO!!! How did I take over this thread!!!

Bwahahaha!!! Bow before my greatness |king|

[amber438]

Actually, I started in 1997 working with an old friend on a website of her's while I was studying network engineering. My own money came in 98.
Why do you ask?
And..stop making threads about me.. |satan|

[b1ng0]

1998. Why?
LOL, for those who don't know, the title of this thread is dynamicly created using "logged_in_user's_username, How long have you been working online?".

[Ms Naughty]

2000 for me
I can still remember getting that first check and dancing around feeling clever, but I'm buggered if I can remember who or where it came from.

[Sexyelisha]

Year 2000 but it was peanuts..

I took a year out for my university finals (stupid mistake!!) and closed all my sites down in 2002. So i had to start from scratch again :(

[Joe]

I started in mid-1998 and made it in the 5-figure range with SE and galleries each month all the way through early 2000. Went into mainstream, and I'm now back into adult-- Trying to balance the two.

[Panky]

Will the real Panky please stand up, please stand up, please stand up... :D

I got started in late 2001. I made few bucks part time while working my career in dentistry. Life changed. I quit my career to work online full time and never looked back.

interview (http://news.ratedhot.com/interviews/panky.php)

[Stouch]

Damn that spooked me when I saw the post addressed to me with 23 replies LOL. About 4 or years ago.

[Presmar]

LOL, for those who don't know, the title of this thread is dynamicly created using "logged_in_user's_username, How long have you been working online?".

LOL...that's funny as hell!

[weirdsteve]

For a second there I thought I was popular. Nice way to make a thread ;)
2001 I started, mid 2002 started making money.

[Panky]

LOL! Now that is freakin' brilliant! :D I love it! :D

[DaveTheViking]

I haven't made a frakking cent yet, but seeing my user ID in the subject of a thread on a forum I've never viewed until today nearly made me pee in my sweatpants. So that made getting into the biz worth it. A nice script and a clever idea.

EDIT to say I started last week.

EDIT once again to say it was more like two weeks and a few days ago, and I've lost my sense of time since then.

|ufo|

[JohnnyRS]

I'm not so good with dates so had to check on my records. The first check was in 95 or 94. I started as a unix admin hooking an Adult BBS in those days to the new thing the internet. Wasn't much back then. Got lot of knowledge about irc, newsgroups and bit about websites. Also really liked the professionalism of the business. Wasn't my conception of an adult business. There was no broadband connections for regular users only dialup. I worked with a T1 line with the unix box in the office.

Then Company got bought and moved up north. They didn't need me so I sat on the money I made for a year. Built a website and used adultcheck to make money. Made a couple of hundred dollars back then. Continued with it and told a friend about it. We partnered together and bought a colocation site but he lost insterest a year later. I went back to virtual hosting and Freehosting. So I think I'm up to 1997 working with adult freehosts making up to 1000/month. A year or 2 later is when I made some bad decissions and fucked up. Learned from my mistake and Now I'm crawling my way back up again. Sigh. Not in a big rush. Too afraid of making bad mistakes again.

[CybrFire]

Damn, and here I thaught I was special when I saw "CybrFire, how long have you..."

LOL, I don't feel so special now.

I started doing this in 2003 early in the year and didn't make a dime until six months later. After fucking up several times and correcting my mistakes, then I started to see $$ coming in from all the effort.

I plan on sticking around for along time to come in this business though |thumb

[WWCDonMike]

LOL! That's too funny. Good job, guys. What a great way to get people to post. Sneaky, but effective. I salute you. |headbang|

[selena]

This thread title freaked me out. ~lol~ 2004

[Ang El]

2000 I MADE MY FIRST REAL MONEY ~ 40K IN A MONTH

[ronnie]

Started late 98, made some money. Full time early 99 till now...:)

Either cashquest or maxcash was the first check.

ronnie

[Linkster]

I guess I got my first money around 1985 - running BBS's and charging for memberships to D/L porn. Started the changeover to the internet in 1994 before the browsers were "universal" by selling email accounts on my BBS and then by selling access to the internet through my BBS using graphical interfaces that changed just about every day.

Took from 1996-1999 off to revamp everything, sold off my BBS and converted to just doing web pages - then finally figured out the Linklist game was where I wanted to be around 2000.
Its been a great ride and just keeps getting better - its amazing the changes from the little CD player and tapes/optical disks that I used to archive files to the changes today :)

[Presmar]

...running BBS's and charging for memberships to D/L porn.

Boy that brings back some fond memories :)

[tortus32]

I just started in this biz about 3 months ago, and so far about $70.

[scorpio]

Started in 99 with some bogus sites filled with blind links from HPIC sponsors.
Made my first $600 in 1 week then.
So i've been in the porn business for 6 years now.

[chilihost]

OK...I am joining all those that were freaked out by this title and how there were 2 pages of people answering how long I have been working online. LOL!!!

I have been doing techie support for all kinds of sites since 1991. My first gig was supporting the tax office systems, does that count as making money off the biggest whore out there? HAHAHAHA!!!

cheers,
Luke

[Bestat]

Started in 99, went full time in 2000 and never looked back. :)

[spookyx]

about 1997......... chat room spammer... sent people to intergal (playgal i think it was) and babylonx


ahhhh the good ole days

[JoeBlack]

Although im not sure if JoeBlack was a general statement since everyone answered or if you were talking to me, but the answer is 2002 off of my first free site with SweetMoney .

[nekrom]

2001.

First sponsor check was from NastyDollars. Second was from CEcash their email progge rocked hard back then 1:10 average. After that it's all a blank. Porn financed my business, car, and is paying of my home morguage.

[Presmar]

Although im not sure if JoeBlack was a general statement since everyone answered or if you were talking to me, but the answer is 2002 off of my first free site.

This is hilarious...ROFLMAO

[dareutwo]

I honestly don't remember the year... 96-97-98 somewhere in there.
First sign up was with MaxCash (ebony fantasy).. though I have feeling KK had something to do with it.. :) (yeah old timers, back in the day)
Tried more than once to hand this biz over, but that hasn't gone too well, long story.
Sort of like Fonz... made money, made beer money, made money.
Above the beer money again.

[JoeBlack]

Wow this is to funny....

You really had me going |headbang|

[Dagwolf]

LOL, for those who don't know, the title of this thread is dynamicly created using "logged_in_user's_username, How long have you been working online?".


This thing creeped me out. Combine it with geotargetting and you'll terrify me... |mml|

My wife and I first made money in 1999 with her personal site when we made it AVS.

[Dagwolf]

Money? 1996

Decent money? 1997

Enough to do this full time? 1998 :D

I was surfing link-o-rama in 1996.

[babymaker]

damn, :D i thought this post was about me to, was like WTF why asking me :) nice trick! got in 2002 made money 1st week, first check was from extremepaychecks i believe, been making regular money ever since, but not enough to go full-time, get close a lot of times. hope soon :D

[AdultLoungeRaffi]

ok, am i reading it right or is that a geo targeted subject? lol does everyone see their nick name on the subject? Cause i see " AdultLoungeRaffi " ???? LOL this is too funny....

Well, anyway... I started in Adult offline back in 1989 when the service bureau i was partners with started in AudioText. 976-Date was the first dating phone service. Then we expanding from local ( 976 ) to nationwide ( 900 ) numbers. At that time, personals ( you know those " SWF " ads in papers did not exist ) so i started this whole thing called " Personals " with 900 lines in print media. The very first print weekly in the US who had become my first affiliate was a paper out of Little Rock, Arkansas with a circulation of about 20,000 and made more money with its " Dating Personals " than their entire advertising department did. This was when Jonathan Silverstein, Marty ( AdultCheck ) , and others worked for me selling turnkey 900 phone lines :-). We generated $100,000 or more at times per month in setting up 900 lines for affiliates who wanted their own turnkey lines as a business. By 2003 we were generating around 2,000,000 minutes per month at an average of $1.98 per minute. You do the numbers :-) although i didnt own the entire service bureau and was a share holder of a percetange. I can safely say i invented the personals in print media since there was no other company doing this at that time and that was the first paper who printed these personals we transcribed singles onto paper and mailed to the news weekly camera ready.

Then i registered my first adult domain in 1994 and completely converted onto the adult internet industry from that day on...and the rest is history!

So to answer the question, i made my first $ in adult in 1989 and online in 1994 :-)

Raffi

[Certifiedbitch]

well, i started working in the adult biz way back 2003 and made the decent money last year until now...everything is going well.

[adamneve]

i was terified when i saw the title and all the replies :P
99 when was i first made my money online

[Lemmy]

I made my first freesite in October 2004. Got my first check early December and have since then consistently made enough money to cover my $19.95/month virtual hosting account. I'll soon be launcing my own LL (stay tuned) so I hope to be able to upgrade to a $39.95/month plan by the end of the year. :D

[Mefo]

ha shit that title got me lol, 3 pages and my name in the subject =) anyway I started in 2000 :) started with galleries back then

[AcidMaX]

I was doing programming starting in 1998 (been programming since approx 1994) for adult companies and making ok money on the side, started full time making great money in 2001. Keeps getting bigger, more money programming, more money on the link lists. Now I primarily work for 1 company full time programming and run my sites as well.

[Tuna]

Been doing this since 1998 and making money since day one.

Wow that is a real old school resume. Seemed like lots of the names who were big in adult when I started talked about coming from audiotext/videotext backgrounds.



I dicked about for a year or so as a very part time hobby, but I started trying to make money in late 98 and have been sitting in my underwear at home full time since mid 99 :)

[Useless]

I've been doing this since 01. But I don't make any money doing it. I never have. |cry|

[Ann Omness]

I started getting my first checks for online porn in 1990. I started running a BBS in 1988 because I was addicted to an online game called Tradewars and the only other local BBS that ran the game was closing down. In 1990, I bought some adult content for the BBS and started charging a subscription. When the Internet started getting popular in 1994, I sold the BBS for $6,000 and concentrated on my mainstream career in the corporate world. In January of 1999, I started making websites for Adult Check, and five months later, I quit my two day jobs. I've been working at home ever since.

[Useless]

I've been doing this since 01. But I don't make any money doing it. I never have. |cry|
I should probably mention that I was mainstream web design the same time, when I first started. Never made a cent doing that either. |cry|

I still remember the day that I realized I was making more online than from my full time job. :)

[emmanuelle]

1997, full time since 1998

[CrazySy]

Started in 98 and worked part time about 2-3 hours a day until 2000 when I increased the working hours to 8 hours a day and still kept my day job just to make sure everything is going in the right direction. In 2002 I left my day job and this has been my only job :D

[urb]

Wow!! 70 posts later and 99 votes :D

Full time since 1998 for me in both mainstream and adult.

God, I love my job! :)

2004 started makeing a small monthly profit
2005 doing ok bills are payed and future looking good
Hate to admit it but if I had worked all these hours at say McDonalds or Burger King I would of earned more but it wouldn't have been as much fun

[Useless]

I just checked. I'm still not making any money.

[Steve]

Started in 99. Went full time in 2000!

[buttster]

1999 made a few bucks
2000 not much better
2001 not much better
2002 not much better
2003 not much better
2004 not much better
2005 not much better but still plugging along and learning

[Robbo]

I spent a summer surfing and learning or so I thought and signed up for my first sponsor on 9-9-99! The free hosts took a shit and I took my check from gammas click program in 2000 and got some real domains and hosting and the rest is history!

[deviantd]

You can make money? Haha.. 2005 here.

[ngb1959]

Bunch of fuckers! LOL!

ngb1959, How long have you been working online?

Hehe, got free space from my ISP that I used...... they called and told me to take it down but I refused cause at that time they didnt have any rules about traffic. BTW THEY took it down after a while.

Submitted the site to GG and AdultBuffet (got a number 3 listing and they sent a shitload of traffic). You too GG ;)

And stop make threads about me ;)

/Thomas

[Sophie]

Actually, I made my first couple of pounds from porn in 2003, since then I have sort of added on to my business but can't say I am making a living from it. This is exactly why I joined this forum - to learn from those who are wiser...

sophie

[tjchuck]

Been about 3 months working online now, can't say as to when I have got a check because I haven't got one yet. |banghead|

|ref| 15 yards for extensive abuse of this script name thing :D

Started in late '96. If I could only go back knowing what I know now (sigh). There's a few domains I would be sure to pick up. :)

[jaron]

have been sitting in my underwear at home full time since mid 99 :)

Can I come around your place... and play.

Been doing a Striptease agency for about four years but didn't start to make money from affiliate sales till about a year after that. Make enough ( more than an unemployment cheque that is ) now to be full time webmaster.

[keke]

just starting to adult so no money coming in yet

[Mateusz]

I think I got my first sale in 2002 with maxcash - since then I'm addicted to this biz but still not full time

[Mars Volta]

I started during summer 2000 and got my first check from CE for $245 a month later. I november I was earning enough to live off it.

[Corleone]

1999 when I got my first babylon x check :)

[Jim]

Looking like total newbies in this thread :) That, and a few fibbers :)

I actually started online working for my father, using my mother's school account back in 1982. Nothing but text but still a few cool games :) As for adult work...10 years ago this year. Damn, where does the time go? Seems like only yesterday, Hotshots sent me my first $1500 to put banners on every page of my 200 page free site.

[STEVEN]

Money? 1996

Decent money? 1997

Enough to do this full time? 1998 :D

ditto

[th3g4me]

I started reading on this stuff last feb, but I really started last november.

I made $1000 in 5 months so far... Thats good I guess because my hosting is $90.00/Mo. At least I am not losing money as a newbie.

Hehehe most of you started when I was still in middle school.

[Alphawolf]

I guess there is some sort of script that plugs in each username into the subject? I was wonderin' why urb was concerned.

For me it was just last year I started anything and just late August I started free sites.

I wish it was 3 or 4 years ago. :(

[LB]

wow ... you got me.
I saw my nick and thought ... what the hell ?! lol :)

[dirtyjumbo]

I received my first check back in 97 from XPics, for a whopping $86 LOL.
Went full-time in 2000, quit the biz in 2002 and just got started again in may last year.
Just making enough for beer money ATM :(

[koolkat]

I started with a regional swingers website back in 1996 while still in college (college was the only place you could get access to the porn newsgroups at the time :) ). It quickly grew national and I started to charge for access. It did pretty good for a while until Adult Friend Finder showed up, and then I started running into billing problems with Ibill, so I eventually shit canned the site, and I have been off and on for a while. I am now finally starting up another pay site, so hopefully this will make me some $$$

[basschick]

august 1996 our first web page went online. in 1997, this became our full-time income.

[Roby]

I got my first check about 3 years ago.

[aussiewebguy]

2004. One cheque.

2005... nothing yet. But I've got a few irons in the fire.

[Platinum Dave]

This thread totally caught me off guard when I saw my name on the thread title :)

1998 for me.

[Kenny B!]

I started in 1999, made my best money in 2000, still doing well but 2000 was my best year overall!

[xxxjay]

98

[Jeka]

Strange but why does the thread title say "Jeka, How long have you been working online?"
Is that for all of you with your nickname in the title?

I think I got my first cheque in 2001.

[Smutferret]

Hey all,

I started in 99 with a free site on a free host. I remember submitting that site to Link-O-Rama and being SO nervous that I misread a rule or did something stupid that I wrote Greenguy a note in the comment field of the submit form asking him to excuse any newbie mistakes and thanking him for taking the time to review my site. I got accepted and was completely blown away by the amount of traffic I received

Anyway, the free host deleted my site after changing their rules and I had to scramble to get my own domain and hosting. That was in Jan. of 2000 and I made my first sale with Maxcash shortly there after.

I got away from the adult biz at some point in 2002 and didn't start up again until last year.

Regards,
SF

[HoneLynn]

Started late 1998, made my first check January 1999.

[zanex]

well,
to be honest I started 2 weeks ago, but I already met extremly helpfull people...I really wasn't expecting this much form all the people in adult biz.
anyway, i've just started and I'm completely determined to make this work
now, if only I knew how to get partner accounts to submit my stuff...
take care

[Sammy4u]

Started in 1999. That 'name' script is just killing me guys, flips me out everytime I see it, But it works, got me to post. :)

[Jey P]

started in 1999
Made a decent income at 2001

[GenXer]

I was a late bloomer, started making money in 2003 and starting making good in 2004.

[GenXer]

I am laughing at the words beneath my name.

I guess it got me thinking, if I HAD to go to the backseat of my car with the woman I "love" LOL, it better be Jesse Jane!

I love men, but, I'd give her a nice tongue lashing!

Was that too much info? Whoops.

[Corner_Tommy]

just started, and havent made a cent yet :)

[MarcyM25]

Ok that name thing freaked me out for a minute when I saw all the pages this thread had. lol
2002 for me, and I thought it would be much easier. ;)

[Thumbler]

Wonder what the seven people who never made a cent do? |cool|

[pcum]

I started in 1996 but that was a slow start, after that I worked for a big company in the Netherlands....
And now I do some work at home and try to make some $$$ |pimpin

[Jim]

Wonder what the seven people who never made a cent do? |cool|
They keep trying like I did when I started. My wife used to scream at me about working so much and not making money. She doesn't complain anymore.

[Useless]

Wonder what the seven people who never made a cent do? |cool|
I scratch a lot.

I found the best way to make some extra income on the side while waiting to either earn a living in porn or winning the lottery is to give rusty trombones to old men downtown for $10 a pop.

[krki]

Damn that spooked me when I saw the post addressed to me with 23 replies LOL. About 4 or years ago.Me too :D, first money I earned two years ago but than I skip on other jobs and I come back last year.

[webgurl]

lol uuuum i am confused by the title hehehe but since 2002 making $$$

[webgurl]

thats trippy the thread title with your name HAHAHaHA just had to mention that

[Jeremiasz]

Since 2000!
The most cash i earned 2001-2003 on Polish adult sites :)
now I'm back to job :)

[Adult Champs]

Jeez. I thought this thread is about me... i was a little confused :)

Seriously. I started making cash online back in 1995 in the Online Travel Biz. At that time, it was quite easy to sell Hotel Rooms and Vacation Packages online. Later, the flight booking systems hit the online travel biz. The competition in that biz was getting harder and harder, because the mainstream big-shots hit the web biz quite soon in that market.

Since 1999 im in the adult biz (still doing some mainstream stuff, too).

[Pusher]

Started making money in 2001, incorporated last year :)

[Simon]

LOL, for those who don't know, the title of this thread is dynamicly created using "logged_in_user's_username, How long have you been working online?".


Whew... that's a relief! I couldn't imagine why there would be 6 pages of discussion about when I started making money. ::grin:: I was lucky to get an early start, about 9 years ago. But I've spent so much time narrowly focused that I have plenty to learn still.

[thebes]

Ok, I knew it, everyone is talking about me. LOL, first time I've seen that name instert since I just signed up here a few minutes ago!

I've been working with online adult content for a bit over a year. I also made and marketted bdsm toys part time a few years ago, but my main market was eBay and it went bad so I'd stopped. I've also done some minor photography for a few years for my wife's bdsm phone employer.

Now, I do mostly spanking, bdsm and femdom.

[CD Smith]

'98 for me. Summer of 2000 was very good. Been pretty good ever since actually.

I was lucky, but I still view this work as gamble every day..never know when the billing companies, cc or gov't is gonna drop a bomb on us. I started in April 2004, started making money in June 2004 and was able to do this full time by Sept 2004 and am now a very happy camper |pink I love this job and all the people Ive met are awesome, much better than working for a bunch of stuffy lawyers |yawn| ..haha

[Sarah_Jayne]

1998 but I hate myself for not taking it more seriously than I did. I didn't think there was more the beer money in it.

[SlickCash_Brock]

Ok ok I will post here. I first started making money online when i was in the car biz in Toronto. A close friend and I at the time were creating an info website for the dealership i managed. We then started doing parts sales online for our performance section at the dealership. That was in 1998. Then i came into this business by fluke last year. I had dabbled here and there with some adult projects before and made hardly any money, but I was a full time Finance and Insurance Manager at a Honda Store. So it did not leave time for much else. I came to Slickcash with a knowledge of site building and a level of professionalism and customer service that should be a benefit to you all. So i hope that answers the question.

[Fonz]

Maybe we should change the title of this thread in: "~~username~~, how much longer do you think this post is gonna last" |couch|

Until I start making money. It could be a while, so sit back, relax, and just ignore this thread.

[Roby]

Hi to all may be i will create new thread for you better :-)

[esteve]

The weirdest thing about this business is the friends you can make. some just disappear after a while, (one got involved in satellite enginerring or something, very impressive, another in adult filming, still impressive). Then there are some friends who start to kick ass in this business. I wonder what happened to the ones that just disappeared.

Well, I work for Silvercash as an account rep...I have never built my own page, become an affiliate or anything like that, so I haven't made any money. But I did make a few hundred bucks off amatuer modeling...of course that was a little while ago. Now I'm broke again. :(

[TotallyJeanette]

If you need money, you can always go back to |boobies| (unless that's not the type of modeling you were referring to).

[TotallyJeanette]

I made decent money starting in 2001, went full-time in late 2001.

I started building non-adult sites in 1993...sure wish I'd of started ADULT then, lol.

[tickler]

First email account(TymNet) in 1985. Needed to setup email invoicing, and other systems for a client.
First used the internet around 1994-5.
Make a bunch of $$$s from the paid to surf programs with some nice SE listings around 2000-2.
Gradually been building in adult with mainly SE listings(100s sponsors, 1000s Paysites), and some PPC since. I need to be making six digits before I can afford to give up my day job(IS consultant) though. Also building a hi-tech condo building project with some other family members is eating up my spare income.

First adult check was from Dildo-Lesbians I think.

[Trev]

Good thing I hadn't 'voted' yet. Now I have a goal and 18 months to achieve it!

[Mr Exotic]

Made my first real site in '99 right after I graduated highschool, it was a bikini/babe site. I used the money I got from family and friends for graduation to buy my domain and hosting. It took off pretty fast and I was making a little over 1k a month by the end of that summer. I was still living at home and working a security job at a department store. I saved all my money I made that summer and fall and got my own apartment in December of 99. After I was out of my mom and dad's house I started getting more hardcore and moving away from the bikini stuff since I started off on their computer, haha. Then in December I made my site a totally and completely circle jerk site. At first I did it all
with hard links and by the end of Jan 2000 I was making more money a day than I had dreamed of, at the time it was like 250-300/day but that was an insane amount of money to me since I was still working my 6$/hour security job. Quit my job in Feb and started yet another circle jerk site. Then in March I bought my first UCJ scripts and when I put those on my sites they rocket launched and I was making close to 1k/day. Then things just slowly started deteriorating and going down as the months went by because of the CJ sites dying out, I was still making decent money, but things had dropped alot. Then I had some health problems, I was real bad sick for 4-5 months, and by the time I was better in late 2001 my sites and business were making pretty much nothing. I did some work here and there with some friends to make some quick money, mostly growing blind link TGPs with some bought traffic to 200-300k in a week or two and selling them off after they would hold steady for a couple weeks like anywhere from 5k-14k. But mostly I struggled and things were pretty bad for a while, I even had to get a couple offline jobs to make ends meet during 2002-2004. The in spring/summer of 2004 I started submitting galleries, thought hey I'll start from scratch like a newbie and see where that can take me. By the end of 2004 I was doing pretty good, no where close to where I used to be back in 2000 but enough to get the bills paid and not to be broke. Then as 2005 was coming to an end my galleries were slowly declining and I wanted to expand my adult biz into more than just galleries. In Jan of this year I started making free sites, which the way I am going about it I am looking at it as a very long term project, not just submitting free sites, but slowly over time building up a huge network of sites that I hope to have at its full potential in around 3 years, haha. Already the free site stuff is making more than my galleries so I am a pretty happy camper with the direction things are going now.

[spazlabz]

excellent post Mr. Exotic. I wonder how many other people can see their history in adult almost perfectly mirrored in your story.... I know there are remarkable similarities with my own story.
Good luck with those freesites developing for you man :)

Jim

[buttster]

good luck with all your free sites and link list. I do have to say the cj business still seems to be flourishing because nine out of ten times you go to most of these mpg's and you get jerked from one site to another like there was no tomorrow.
