Played with html and learning how to make sites my senior year of high school which was '98-99. After I graduated I started my first for real site and was making more than I was at my security job by October. Mind you still doing this from my parents house and their computer so I just stuck to bikini/babe sites. Then I moved out got my own place and computer in December '99 and started working all the time and getting into traffic trading and all that fun stuff. By Jan '00 I was making more money than I had ever dreamed of and quit my job in Feb. Things went awesome for over a year and a half, got married in June of '01 and 3 days after our honeymoon I came down sick with some crazy bug in my chest, had 102-104 temperature for over a month straight and eventually took me over 3 months to get completely over it. By the time I was better there was not much at all left and fell on some hard times, completely left the biz in the beginning of '02, but always trying a few things here and there and always looking for way to get back in, during these times I had a few different offline jobs. Then managed to get back into it totally full time again in May of '03. Hours per week vary a lot, this past week I have probably put in over 80 hours, and some weeks I am lucky to even look at the computer everyday. For the last year or so I have been alot better discplining myself to work more so probably put in more hours this year than in any other.

I probably don't qualify because I do put in 40+ hours a week doing this but it's not my fulltime job, atleast not yet (started out March 2006). I still teach english 10-20 hours a week, and also develop software on a freelance basis. Now if I could only get the time to start up that ebay thing...

Then again, if we do move to San Francisco next year as planned I might just try my luck in the Silicon Valley instead. Still, I hope I'll always have time to build and submit a freesite a day.

Well I'm doing this so I can dump my day job(60-80hr/wk) consulting, and free up time for other projects.

Basically on track to hit six-digits by the end of next year working an hour or so per day.

Found the intraweb in 98-99, got a domain and put a snap together porn tour on it. It got some sales, so no laughing.

Then year later doing free sites, a really nice guy called Phil talked to me on a message board, told me about avs, and adult check. GOt side tracked from frees and stuff and went the avs direction....

Money started to fall from the trees, another gold, another grand or two , then before u could say holy shit, I was making thousands and thousands a month.

Then quit the day job, girfriend got worried and pissed off cos I was on the pc all the time, thought the intenet was a gimmick and wouldnt last,so we split up for a period as we went our own ways.

Then Fast forward a year or so, bought a little cottage by myself, no bloody broadband, work slows down a bit, got back together with the girl, more sites, more avs, less free sites and SE stuff

Fast forward another year, bought a house with a view, and acres, wow, was flying high on cloud nine, built a barn on the acreage, and got married and had the reception in it! woohoo, not a care in the world, the webmastering slows down, we have a child, slows down more as I become content with the recurring money thats still coming in

Fast forward a couple more years, the avs dried up, recurring drops in a heap, have put all the eggs in one basket I realise, and another child is born, even LESS time working and more time playing with the kids, still some recurring coming in, so stupidly still havent seen the big picture

Fast forward to now, house on the market, cant give the thing away |confused| getting close to not making the mortgage payments, 2 wonderful kids and a lovely (sometimes) wife in tow, all costing a fortune to feed and cloth! working my ass off back peddling, doing stuff I should have been doing all along and reading and trying to find out any little gem that might be buried deep down inside threads

Will keep you posted, lots of lessons learnt

All you guys that have worked non stop for the last 7 or 8 years, every week, week in week out, you deserve to give yourself a huge fucking pat on the back, if you have kids and family, well u need a medal too )

You must be raking in thousands every week if you have continued to build over the last 7 years, I can only imagine how good that would be lol. They say its never too late though to change, and thats what I'm trying to do, come back from the dead without having to go work for walmart or kmart !

Built a here today, gone tomorrow amateur paysite with my x in 97/98. It was doing pretty well (even though I really didn't have a clue as to what I was doing) and was looking to go full time when girlfriend turned left and I turned right....

Forward to 2005 and all I am reading is about this blogging craze. Decided to try it out and am at least still here.

Not my main source of income but I do spend +40 each and every week.

Part time for me and part time for JaYMan Cash equals this being my only job.

I have no idea how many hours I work.

Full time since 2000. Take the kids to school then work on line from 8:00 a.m. until around 6:00 p.m. Only a little work on the weekends 'cause the wife wants me to do "family" things. On disability so I can't and don't have to work a regular job. No real money from porn yet. Just haven't figured it out yet and no one is telling their secrets.

Have been earning a living online since '99 with both mainstream and adult business efforts... in and out of the adult side throughout this timeframe, and probably logging about 4-years collectively on just adult. Got back into it after a regrettable 9-10 month leave back in March of this year. It's rare that I ever put in less than 40-hours. Hoping that 2007 will be the start of focusing on only adult.

I've been fulltime for 2 years now, it's been good but I figure the big money in free porn is made by those who have been at it for 10 years or those who want to work 10 hours per day 7 days a week submitting galleries etc. Not me, I'm planning to eventually discontinue submitting and and focus more on search engines and web programming so I've been studying web development/server admin full time this year and doing BASc in IT next year. So it's back to part time for a while here...

Full time since 08/2006 and still learning the ropes... Actually I should say I'm still trying to find them ropes
Still very far from being able to make a living at it but working to get there. Thank G I did save when I was earning well and that should keep me warm for a while cause I'm seeing no light at the end of this tunnel yet!

It's shaky and uncertain but I'm in heaven cause I can make my own hours and I only answer to myself... |king| Not having to deal with some asshole above me has been a true life-saver!!!

Oh, and 40+++ would make it about right btw...

My start was in 96 for non-adult (bible belt childhood, cut me some slack for being slow) and 97 for adult... beats hell outta the service, eh Jim...lol...

Worked with some wonderful companies and GREAT people during that time and happy to see that all of them are still around... Since he never would read a post this long, want to say in the last 10 years, there's one person stands out above everyone I've meet and think everyone should know and work with him... and that's Bangwang/Richard Nash...







Hurry though, he's real fuckin old and no telling how little time he's got left...
