    here is the 100% honest answer. You can make as much money as you are willing to invest yourself into...

    1k is nothing... if you put efforts behind you can pull 10K as a 1 man show.

      As I read this thread I notice a lot of people discouraging others from getting into this business. I'm new, so new that I don't really understand most of the concepts discussed in the forums. I've built a site and still trying to get it to where I will have return traffic.

      I started promoting a site that I'm a member of, my cash out this month was $1100.00. Every month my checks are getting bigger.

      Currently I am scanning the forums and trying to learn everything I can. Please don't let people discourage you. In my short time doing this I've learned that you get what you put into this business. I've put a lot of hours into this, I've got a lot more to go. I'm not going anywhere!!!!

        yes, i agree 100% with this.
        I think where people fault is mainly when they try to skip the learning process... its easiest if you set your expectations on something real, like a small goal... maybe 1 signup a day, or 1 a WEEK if its ur first day...

        put the effort into your sites... try to learn from people and innovate... then apply changes and tune until you find what works for you. there are tons of ways to make $$... even outside of adult.

          I think you are very right about that! Skipping the learning process - going directly to the money! I KNOW that, among other things, that is where I have failed!

            I made about $750 in one month by promoting halfpriceescorts.com

            Then the 2nd month they didn't pay me for the $650 that I made so I stopped promoting them. Now I'm looking for something new.

              My advice, is to use forums for business and take advantage of the ignore list within your user control panel. It will help weave out a lot of useless replies and users who don't post anything worth reading.

              I'm a programmer and there is still money to be made on the internet don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I'll share my ignore list with you; it's pretty easy to spot these guys; one was in here....

                    Knowledge is the number one reason that people succeed or fail online. You can have tons of determination and work 100 hours a week, but if you're hard work is focused in the wrong areas then the outcome will be less than stellar.

                    Specifically knowledge about how to bring quality traffic to your site. Of course before you can bring any traffic you have to build a site. Design is important, navigation is key and so is your internal linking structure. Do you want to focus in on a particular niche? What niche should you promote? In my humble opinion I think one might consider promoting a niche they enjoy in their personal life.

                    Content is king, but not if no one knows your site exists. I strongly recommend all newbies educate themselves about SEO and link building. Blah, blah, blah I'll shut up now.

                    Best of luck to all newbies in their quest for knowledge and porn infamy!

                        The people on my ignore list just bring people down around here. I ignore posters based on a combination of the way they treat other users; the type of information they post; if I'd personally ever conduct any type of business with them. GFY, isn't any significant part of what makes me a person and these people on my ignore list have no influence over my life nor business decisions.

                        Anyways, Hello - I've never noticed any of your posts here : - )
                        Not that you'll be able to read this - me being on your ignore list and all - but it's lovely to know that I "bring people down" and "mistreat other users" by trying to help; I do wonder what saintly act is required of me to not be placed onto that huge ignore list of yours.

                        Perhaps turning water into funk?

                                I think not many people will make their income public, it is just in real life.

                                      Adult webmastering is no different in some respect than other industries that involve marketing. How many people have tried to become successful insurance sales agents but failed? Does that mean there is no money in going from doorstep to doorstep trying to sell life insurances? No, of course there is money for the to be made for the right people with the right training and skill set. Determination and working 100 hour weeks helps, too.

                                      Then again, for those that prefer to put no work into it and hope to make "a little spending money on the side" without investing any money or time and looking to work two hours a week probably have a lower success rate.

                                      You will see BS posts all the time of people who brag they spend 20 minutes a day and make $50k net a week. God bless them and I wish them all the luck in the world but don't be misled by their stories. All the people I know that made real money in adult worked until their eyes bleed and they suffered from insomnia. And that's unfortunately merely a prerequisite, not a guarantee for success.

                                      That's the truth. For adult or any other industry.

How many people have tried to become successful insurance sales agents but failed? Does that mean there is no money in going from doorstep to doorstep trying to sell life insurances? No, of course there is money for the to be made for the right people with the right training and skill set. Determination and working 100 hour weeks helps, too.

                                          Then again, for those that prefer to put no work into it and hope to make "a little spending money on the side" without investing any money or time and looking to work two hours a week probably have a lower success rate.

                                          You will see BS posts all the time of people who brag they spend 20 minutes a day and make $50k net a week. God bless them and I wish them all the luck in the world but don't be misled by their stories. All the people I know that made real money in adult worked until their eyes bleed and they suffered from insomnia. And that's unfortunately merely a prerequisite, not a guarantee for success.

                                          That's the truth. For adult or any other industry.
                                          Very well said. Hard work, a little luck, ability to recognize when you've fucked up and when you've done good -- it all helps.

                                          And like others have mentioned: No one who's making money really wants to publish that amount, that's why we hire CPAs -- so we can carefully calculate exactly how much money we made and not over pay taxes, but I can tell you this: In two days I have to cut a check to Uncle Sam that's gonna make my eyes water. People do make money.

                                              Hmmm.. Now that I think about it. in 5 days, I will have been doing it (casually on and off) for exactly 1 year. :P
                                              I've been doing it for right at a year now and I have only made like $2.00, so I think I suck even worse ROFLMAO! I am new at everything so I am learning to do all of the mgt from scratch. I think it really does take more than just motivation and dedication to make money in the online business. It takes money to make money.....has some truth to it I think.

                                                  1k is nothing... if you put efforts behind you can pull 10K as a 1 man show.

                                                      my rent is $725 a month then $45 a month for electricity and rental insurance is $20.25 a month Canadian dollars but i make sure each cam period i make that. I have no idea what my website will make but I know I can turn on my webcam log on cams, imlive or streamate and make sure rent and electricity are covered.

                                                      online porn is my only full-time job, but i do go stir crazy with it sometimes so I balance it out with being a home-based customer service agent.

                                                        I thought about eventually doing some home-based CSR shit. How's that working for you?

                                                        Me personally, I balance this shit out with good friends and family...plus being a General Contractor, I can pick up side gigs to break up the daily grind.

                                                          I think where people fault is mainly when they try to skip the learning process... its easiest if you set your expectations on something real, like a small goal... maybe 1 signup a day, or 1 a WEEK if its ur first day...

                                                          put the effort into your sites... try to learn from people and innovate... then apply changes and tune until you find what works for you. there are tons of ways to make $$... even outside of adult.
                                                          That's why I didn't even BEGIN to start even putting together a site until I felt comfortable with the inner workings of this business. Not to say that I know it all, because fuck...I don't, but I'm more knowledgeable now than I was when I first started researching this shit (August '06). Right now, I'm working on creating a dating blog. Should be up and running by the end of this week.

                                                          I would have gotten started a lot sooner, but Life kept getting in the way LOL.

                                                          I want to thank everyone here...you guys have helped me a lot. Even the other noobs...looking at your sites has taught me what not to do.

                                                          Learn, learn, learn...that's how you become the best.

                                                            Adult webmaster is my only job, and my only income.

                                                            When I first started doing it, I had a full time offline job & made OK money doing it part time..

                                                            about year & half ago I said fuck working for other people & went full time online self employment.

                                                            Today I have hundreds of websites that include tgp, blogs, directories, link lists, paysites, affiliate program & mainstream sites.

                                                            My income consists of payments from sponsors, paysite memberships & ad sales revenue, and yes I can afford the mortgage payment and all my bills get paid & there's money left over too after paying overhead costs.

                                                            Although the income isn't stable as it fluctuates every month, it is enough that it is at least 100% more than if I worked offline elsewhere and I get to work when I want, my time is flexible & I have more time for other things like family & fun & I can take time off whenever I want and I don't have to wait til payday for a check since I get epass & checks almost every day.

                                                              okay here are my 2 cents....

                                                              yes you can make money. I don't own a site, I just work for one. I don't do TGP, MPG, or blogs.... I just run the site and make sure the content is current and we maintain an appropriate amount of affiliate content for our cash program. We have 3 employees including the owner. We retain members. We do well for ourselves. We don't drive around in Ferraris or anything, but I have a brand new (07) accord, pay my mortgage, child support, health insurance, Netflix, cable, cellphone, internet, gas, power, etc... all from working hard and making sure we are doing the best that we can do everyday... it's a hard business. You have to keep your nose to the grindstone, you have to network, you have to be in the right places at the right time. Content is king! You have to put out to get back. Our overhead eats most of our profit. You have to believe in what you are doing. It takes time... months... years....

                                                              Check our Alexa rating for 3 years to see if you can see when I started working at this site

                                                              http://www.alexa.com/data/details/tr...littlemutt.com

                                                              and compare us with www.abbywinters.com and www.sapphicerotica.com while your at it. These 2 sites are our "peers". Heck... throw in www.ronharris.com (the last site that I worked for) as he is a legend in the business and see what I did for him. (beginning 2005 is when I worked for him)

                                                              NOBODY gets anywhere in this biz by sitting on their asses. We work hard and we work long. It's 24 hours a day and if you miss a step, you may just get passed by.

                                                              Sorry I'm not going to post what we make... just be sure that it's not all that much when you factor in model costs, production costs, equipment costs etc.... we just sank 11,000 in for HDV.

                                                              If you build it, they will come... I believe in that.

I used to make well over $100k as a systems development specialist. However, some stupid mistakes (drugs), felonies/prison and a chapter 7 bankruptcy later.. that'll never happen again so I am pretty much stuck. That being said, I have been struggling lately to make ends meet, however, I am hoping things turn around someday. I have to make it work because I can't fucking work anywhere.

I make enough money to pay my $2500.00 mortgage payment every month, $800.00 per month in web hosting, $700.00 per month in online advertising, $650.00 per month for my new BMW Z-3 car payment...among MANY other payments that I need to make every month.
