Well.... I was working full time for the phone company when I had started my first celebrity site after college (1997). I did it as a hobby at first until the $1500+ a month bandwidth bills forced me to make a membership site. I was essentially paying out of my pocket for others pleasure. I then started making like $3000.00 a month immediately after expenses.
When I had gotten into my own productions, it took around 7-9 months before it exploded and was in the black. We were shooting the wrong women, and lighting was bad and shit to start. We made a lot of mistakes and learned as we went along. Luckily we had a solid client base who wrote us a ton of scripts and help along the way. Once we switched over the college chicks instead of strippers and older chicks, memberships started climbing to be profitable.
Hang in there champ.
