    "newbies" earning a living with pr0n?

    There's no money with porn... I know, I know.

    Many people probably won't want to say how much they take home, but I'm interested in people who started from scratch less than 1-2 years ago who are now able to live off their earnings.

    I wonder because I'm clearly a newb too but I'm also an impatient one with a fair amount of ambition and I just want to make sure I'm not getting to ahead of myself with all these financial and time investments. Anything good takes time - but I feel like I'm hoping for the best, too much.

    So yeah, if you don't mind sharing your story and possible timeline that would be great and very useful for many I'm sure.

    Cheers

        you would think someone who sells webmaster scripts geared towards adult webmasters, that they would want new webmasters =/ just my opinion.....

                My advice is to perpetually save 3-5 months of income you have made for future living needs as there are great sales months and bad sales months. Also pay off all your debts/cc's before you buy pimp shit.

                    The key is having big traffic and money will come when you will sleep.

                          i would say the future if very uncertain. Theres is no security in this business.

                          I also believe it takes some skill and understanding. So success will vary. The more you understand the internet, its protocols and its CULTURE the better you will do

                          i started 6 minths ago and make more money than i ever have, but ive also been using the internet for 9 years :\

                            I've been hacking away at website design and improving myself since the age of 11... so 11 years ago or so. I should mention my other career is running and managing a 4 team web design & development company.

                            I'm mostly peddling webcam porn because I feel that's the next best thing.

                                The day I make good money while I sleep, is the day I'm buying sig spots and putting my GF's tits in them! LOL

                                  There really is no money in porn for newbies anymore.
                                  I'm just a newbie.

                                          Adult is the easy way out. I would love if my income was primarily mainstream but the numbers are so much bigger in Adult

                                            Kinda trying to opposite right now - but still doing mainstream, gotta pay the bills.

                                                      Yeah I agree. To many new people getting in line doing the same facken thing one after another. That's kinda why I dropped my MGP site - too many and 98% of them are all the same.

                                                          Newbies can make money in anything. Heck, you can make money building cars if you put your mind (and a ton of money) to it.

                                                          The current combined shave / toolbar code changing / lost cookies / 100 year cookies / cookie switching issues make it harder and harder to make the major dollars on just galleries and free sites, which is where most people come through. You almost have to vertical your market and build your own paysite and promote it via your own stuff as a way to make true income at this point.

                                                            I was about to post that I am doing ok after 2 years, then I realized it's been 3

                                                            Took me almost 2 years to get to the point where I could live 100% off affiliate comissions, but I was lazy and unorganized. With hard work and focus you can get there a lot quicker than I did.

Of course online work is just like offline work, its a daily hard grind that never stops with long hours. If you are lazy, porn will not make you much money at all.
