    Money was second on the agenda for us. Our first website was free when we launched back in 1999.

    Basically we just wanted a place to showcase our images and get them known. As the website caught on, we started to realize the revenue potential.

    A nod has to go to Jimbo (here on GFY) for his pivotal role in the early days.

          I like to try to make things with nothing. So I thought, I like porn lets see if I can make some good money in a years time promoting porn on the internet with zero investment. So far the hobby is paying off nicely.

              i made a shitty website with no traffic, then realized i could make money acting like a webmaster posting on a forum.

                I made a couple music sites for fun first in 98 then went on to making porn sites for money.

                    For the money, I tried to see if I could make money on the interwebs.

                      It started as a hobby. I did it for me.

                      Then in the late 90's the internet changed, and became a pay to play.

                      So I needed better hosting, and the bandwidth was costing me a mint. So it went membership to pay the bill. People signed up, and soon I was making a profit to fund my hobby. It grew from there.

                      Over time I tried a few different things here and there. Always made money. But I kept working at my telco job, and just did it on the side. After 8 years of that foolishness I decided to go it full time online, and here I am.

                      Making more than I was at the telco job, and working significantly less.

                        I started out after reading "How To Build A Website For Dummies" Somehow I don't think what I made was what they had in mind

                                      Of course

                                      Tho that was around around 95-96 and it would be stupid not to make websites and extend the biz.

                                        Was looking on the web for some info and came across all the adult stuff - (this was 95) Searched through the adult and realised there were no niche sites that interested me, so decided to have a go at making them - Very hit and miss having to learn about all the programmes we needed, but launched our first site in May 95 and it's still going strong today.

                                          My first sites had nothing to do with money in 98-99.. Games, coding and applications I had developed. Money didn't really take control until 2001-2002

                                              I got started out of curiousity, and curiousity killed the cat and satisfaction brought it back

                                              before I knew it I had my first webmaster check for 400$. not really knowing how and how to do it again.

                                                    long time ago i sat on my computer for a few days straight trying to learn html with angelfires html examples. made a bunch of piece of shit pages that id show my friends so they could laugh. never really went any further then me messing around with dreamweaver everyonce in a while after that.

                                                    then i met my boy pr0 on another board he showed me the basics on how to make money by signing up for some affiliate programs and throwing a few links up. i just took off from there and have been making money online ever since.

It got pretty big and then some guy emailed me a link to an affiliate program and told me I could make money with the site. I think it was called fastporn or something. I never got paid tho, my first checks came from Xpics and Babylon X.
                                                            you never got paid? how much did they owe you?

                                                              I began in 1994 with two sites promoting Virgin Islands travel and tourism, and was immediately profitable (the sites were advertiser supported).

                                                              Porn came later when I wanted to get away from my reliance on a local customer base.

                                                                        I was already into mainsteam at the time and I was chatting with some chicks on Yahoo...(yeah.. so what!). All the hot chicks in the room it seemed were "bots". I figured they must be making some coin off all the fake nicks I would see so I decided check into it futher.

                                                                        A few days later I got my first sale and at one point I was making $200-$400 a week. If it wasn't for Yahoo chat I wouldnt be here today.
