Skippy, How long have you been working online?

urb · 2005-03-16, 07:18 AM

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

Cleo · 2005-03-16, 07:21 AM

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

swedguy · 2005-03-16, 07:44 AM

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 · 2005-03-16, 08:24 AM

Money? 1996

Decent money? 1997

Enough to do this full time? 1998

Fonz · 2005-03-16, 08:55 AM

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 · 2005-03-16, 12:12 PM

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 · 2005-03-16, 12:50 PM

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

SinSational · 2005-03-16, 02:38 PM

2001, but it wasn't much.

cd34 · 2005-03-16, 05:07 PM

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 · 2005-03-16, 05:11 PM

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 · 2005-03-16, 05:24 PM

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.

Good job guys!

Bill · 2005-03-16, 05:24 PM

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.

Pagan · 2005-03-16, 05:33 PM

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 · 2005-03-16, 05:46 PM

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

Barron · 2005-03-16, 05:52 PM

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 · 2005-03-16, 05:58 PM

2000.....

and stop making threads about me.

WWCDonMike · 2005-03-16, 06:06 PM

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

Bwahahaha!!! Bow before my greatness |king|

amber438 · 2005-03-16, 06:07 PM

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..

Ms Naughty · 2005-03-16, 06:13 PM

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 · 2005-03-16, 06:13 PM

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 · 2005-03-16, 06:18 PM

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 · 2005-03-16, 06:20 PM

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

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.
