How long did it take you to make your first sale?

03-26-2009, 10:05 PM

Hey all, saw this on another forum and was wondering how long it took some of you guys. The responses weren't too consistent on the other forum... some cats were pushing a year, some a week...

So, Interested in what you all have to say

when I started in this business over 12 years ago I knew absolutely nothing about web design, advertising or anything business related so it took awhile to make my very first sale. I had to learn EVERYTHING in one shot while hoping to make some $. So lets say roughly 6 months.

All depends on 'first sale'.

If you mean from the very beginning of my online career. I wanna say it took 3 days to a week on my 1st membership celebrity site.

However, when I went into adult full time producing my own shit, and launching sites. I wanna say it took a few minutes to an hour. Keep in mind, this was launching via clip store. Back then, clips4sale was more of a feet, and fetish niche site. When you updated, you hit the front page, and stayed there for a few hours. You could do a lot of money just off a front page 'pop'.

So we'll say within the hour for first site, via clip sale.

When I launched subsequent sites (clip store first, pay site later as laid out in TUTORIAL) they may have taken a few hours for first sale.

This is why I love doing the clips4sale, followed by pay site tactic. I could get sales right a way. Watermark my clips with a domain for pay site to launch later. I point domain at clip store, and then when I launch pay site later. Tada. Already had customers and traffic.

It took me about a fortnight to make my first affiliate sale, that would be way back in the last quarter of '06.

Astral Blue Retro Porn Videos got sign ups from day one without a lot of promoting. I had been posting on a few surfers boards.

Paul Markham Teens was also very fast, but had affiliates lined up and ready for that one.

As an affiliate selling from inside the site it was also pretty fast.

Blowout deal. 880 videos, 2,400 image sets, plus many RAW videos. $500.
PM me for a deal. Skype Paulmarkham70

In adult, about two weeks. I started just around 2 years ago but I had been selling online for some time.

First sale was with Grooby then about 30 minutes later I got a FTV sign up. Still two of my best sponsors.

I remember making some stupid fake TPG out of Perfect Gonzo FHGs and some fucking how got listed on Perian Kitty. I din't know what the fuck I was doing but I got 3 sales in two days! That $120 was double what I had earned in adsense that I was dabbling in for the previous couple of months so I was exited. I then moved onto blogs had a slow and steady increase in sales. I was still working a full time job at the time but with 7 months of those first sales I quit my job and turned pro.

About a year. Before that, I had only been using pay per click sponsors. Back then, those paid $0.25 per click... ah, the good old days.

I don't think you could even optimize a site for the term "porn site that will accept visa card immediately" and make 25 cents/click in 2009.

No longer than 2 days, on a free host, from a gallery with some of the cheapest non-exclusive content. But it was back in '97...

I started oct. 2006 and it took me about 4 months id say.

My first site was completely worthless but once I figured it out a little better then it was about 1 month before my first sale.

Once I got my first one the 2nd came quickly, the 3rd even quicker, and so on.

Yeah, this was back in '98, I think. And those 25 cents per click were actually for blind traffic

I was pretty directionless and had no idea what a gallery, tgp, link list, whatever was... Took me a 2 months to make my first sale and almost a year to get to the point where I had at least a sale a day...

I did quit my dayjob within 2 weeks of that first sale though Most my income after that came from freelance programming for adult companies for a few years...

Mid-2006, and it was within a day or two of getting my blog up. It was one of those $100 promo Cams.com sales, before I knew about revshare and better cams sponsors ;)

Give me money & buy my links here, damn it!
