ExtremeBank_Adam · 04-09-2014, 09:38 AM

We used to play on some sites like Voyeurweb for a while, then we decided to open a site for my wife, Alysha. We registered NaughtyAlysha.com on September 22, 1999, and I built my first (rather rough looking) site. We opened the site in November, and started getting sales right away.

We only charged $6.95 a month back then, and it wasn't until mid-2000 (about 6 months later) that we increased our monthly fee, and that's when the memberships skyrocketed. (Who would have thought back then... charge more money and you get more members?)

A couple screen shots from CCBill... our first sales, and our oldest still-recurring member... from May, 2000 - almost 14 years!!!

EddyTheDog · 04-09-2014, 09:56 AM

1998 with UGAS building AVS sites and upsells - I could knock out 10 a day and each one was 7 sales plus upsells - Math was simple in those days...

AmeliaG · 04-09-2014, 10:04 AM

Publishing print magazines, shooting for print magazines, writing for print magazines, publishing free sites and membership sites etc

Paul · 04-09-2014, 10:06 AM

Started in 1999/2000 when I was 16. Started with PPC and was so proud when I got my first $50 check, showed it to family and friends and I got laughed at and told "This internet thing will never last"

Six months later I was an affiliate promoting paysites and making considerably more than anyone I knew. I learnt very quickly to STFU about my income

Sarah_Jayne · 04-09-2014, 10:35 AM

*raises hand*

I've been in the industry since sometime in 1998. I started out as one of the main reviewers for JJJ TGP. If you had a gallery posted on it back then, chances are I am the one that approved it. I also probably rejected a bunch of you but don't yell at me because you know what you did.

Penny24Seven · 04-09-2014, 10:43 AM

We were one of the first to be on ifriends LOL back when we were making 50 dollars a minute on webcam

Then took my idea in late 99 and been doing that ever since.
Also pay sites and content since I have so much of that too but never been the main goal. Other have tried to copy but never seen anything great

Fucking myself · 04-09-2014, 10:47 AM

Started running free sites in 1998. Quit my job in 2000 and then never looked back

StinkyPink · 04-09-2014, 11:11 AM

Let's just say that my entrance to the game was IN 2000 and the lucky program I chose to affiliate myself with at the time was CyberErotica, now known as CEcash. I knew nothing about HTML, so I left gracefully and returned in 02/03 ish.

Rochard · 04-09-2014, 11:13 AM

One of the first 6-8 erotic mailorders in the Netherlands. And then everything crashed.

Tam · 04-09-2014, 12:17 PM

I started in mid 1999 - had a very popular forum where I posted my pics and had an "I'll show you mine, you show me yours" kind of format that quickly became a form where women were asking guys for pics as opposed to the opposite that we are all used to. lol
