Ran a BBS with 4 lines and a 6 disk CD-Changer back in like 92 outside Washington DC and made a few bucks from it. Just needed some cash. Quit my most recent job back in Jan to do this full time since my porn work was already outshadowing my real job pay. Too bad it didn't stay that way!
For me this is a very lucritive followed by dry spell business. Keep an extra cash reserve in case things slow down!! (egads, or you have to pay taxes).
