Just Raise Your Hand, if you are a Full Time Adult Webmaster 40+hrs

I have been hacking away for 7 years now...

I am a full time adult webmaster.

I have never worked for a company.

My internship was a web host that made most of their money from adult web hosting back in 97-99.

I went out on my own in 99....

The best thing I got out of this deal is.................


Working from home and being their for my family.

====================================================
On another note, can't wait for my kids to take care of themselves.




PEACE

I doubt I "work" 40 hours. But this is my full-time self-employment.

I jumped straight into this full time back in March of this year after about two years researching what I could do online to survive, and learning how to use HTML to build websites. My situation at the time meant working from home was vital.

Sometimes it's closer to 70 hours per week, depending on whatever freaky new idea I've just decided to work on, suddenly ploughing on with this amazing new venture that will probably go nowhere!
I'm sure other folks here can relate to that!
Coffee..coffee..coffee & bad moods.


I'm back to submitting freesites today after a few days of tweaking the way I do things and trying to streamline everything.
I HATE not submitting a freesite every day! Who's getting my sales?!!

The daily grind.

I have almost memorize all the link list rules and TGP/MGP rules there are..

I love it when new linklist or TGPs start crazy rules.
Examples... "Only the face can show on the thumbnail"
You can only have two outside links..
You can't used these sponsors...
Hha Hah Ha

Your site must be easy to navigate

Your title must be one inch from the top

You must fart and bow down...


I hate it when small tgps/linklist make stupid rules.


I have seen so many come and go.

Later

I think the + in 40+ is the key

Part time since 96, full time since 98, corporation since 2000 (and yes, 2 people does make for a corporation)

When you go way back, look at a person's first domain name and add 6 or 8 months. It took that long dealing with only mainstream hosts before most decided to get one. There were no friendly hosts back in 1995.

So, I have been working in my underware fulltime since 11/5/95. First domain registered 7/11/96.

Before that, I had to share a server with 5 other large sites. When I asked about it the slowness, I was told "either live with it or leave".

I've been "40+" since Spring of '98, as VP of an adult web hosting company. I was responsible for doing all the in house web site design, among other things.

I took a lengthy hiatus from adult to tend to some family obligations. My Mom was dealing with a recurrance of cancer and needed help caring for my Grandmother.

I still do a little maintream web design, mostly custom ASP scripting, but my primary income has been adult once again since Fall of '03.

Hubby and I have been full time since September of 2000. Between the 2 of us, we spend about 70 hours a week. 45 for him, and 25 for me. I do have a family to tend to, hehe. A lot of my time is burning dvds. We have always duped our own videos, and dvds. Some weeks that in itself is hard to keep up with!

Same here with the 40 PLUS... it's always plus.
Single Dad with 2 boys living with me, and 2 more in college, so working from home was nearly mandatory a few years back.
Though I do a lot of coaching and reffing for the school here. It gets me out of the house, good excercise and I talk to other humans. (though the pay sucks if you figure it out per hour )

For me it started in late 01 but did not start putting in 40+ until about 03 when I started thinking I could make a living doing this, someday it just may happen LOL. Quit full time job 2 years ago so I can really put in the PLUS portion in adult, though lately I am back, in a part time roll, at my old job.

Part time since 2000 and full time since late 2002.

Jim, I am rare and bought a domain name right away. Buying domains is what a couple of friends were doing. Problem is we had no damn clue what we were doing overall and bought stupid domains instead of valuable ones. LOL

I just recently started doing web stuff full time. As long as I can continue to pick up work for other people until my stuff pays me enough to let me work for me exclusively, I just might be able to maintain doing this fulltime.

But being a full-time student, who likes to go out on weekends, sometimes it's hard to sqeeze in more then 60 hours a week, so I'm probably not as + as the rest.

I've never had a "real" job either... and I plan to keep it that way.

Part time in 98. Full time since 99 and 40+ for sure. Though I did get burned out/lazy and took a job for a short time. Till I remembered the many reasons why I did'nt like "working" for some one else. Oldest domain, 98.

When I started in 01 I bought 2 domains, still registered, though I used freehost for awhile cause it was still allowed for about a year or so.
