Sure I'll go.
I've been involved with adult stuff for 3 years now. Until Jan of 2003 I never knew webmaster boards even existed and never spoke to another webmaster. I have helped people that weren't webmasters make decent money but being they were never webmasters beforehand they quit making money as soon as the tides changed because they knew nothing aside from direct instructions I had given them.
I took almost the whole year off in 2002 after my son was born and lived from offline biz and my downline from the previous year. Got back into adult full time in Jan 2003, found GFY and sold out or closed my offline businesses. Been growing my income and empire the whole year and am moving forward even more.
I work with a few people I met on here but keep most of my business quiet. There is only one person in the world that knows EVERYTHING besides my wife. It's possible you may see a program from me or something this year but it's also likely I may decide to keep that quiet also. Just depends.
I look at this business like any others, I do what I have to in order for it to work. I don't give up and I don't think small. I b/s on the boards and I'm sure there are many people who still think I'm a newb, I just don't give a shit.
1 to 10 I'd say a 5 and growing constantly.
Edit: I guess I should add I don't mind working with other people on ideas but I don't agree too well with those who aren't as motivated as me. I work with a handful of people who are willing to bust their ass to get stuff done and always interested in working with others. However, if I see a hint of laziness I'm liable to blow you off from now on.
