Skippy, How long have you been working online?
 

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

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

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 :)

Money? 1996

Decent money? 1997

Enough to do this full time? 1998 :D

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

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.

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

2001, but it wasn't much.

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...

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.

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!

I lost about 3k$ in 1997.

Made about $800 in 98.

Fulltime in 99.

Fulltime since.

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.

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.

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

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.

2000.....

and stop making threads about me. :)

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

Bwahahaha!!! Bow before my greatness |king|

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|

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?".

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.

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 :(

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.

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