I don't think I quit my dayjob until I was making 400.00-500.00 a day in porn

That's a good piece of advise. If you aren't making 2 to 3 times what you are with your 9to5 then you really should not make the jump to full time!!! I would also suggest having 6 months worth of cash sitting aside that can pay for all your day to day expenses and whatever it is going to cost you to run your porn biz
Beyond just the pure $$$'s, if your making less that 5 to 10 times your current income, then I would also make sure that I am making my bank in 2 or 3 different ways. I.E. not just off of SE traffic, or TGP's or AVS, I would make sure that I'm diversified so that if google fucks me for 90 days and I loose 1/2 of my SE traffic that I have it covered with AVS or TGP
Also make sure and get yourself a few of things, a) a health insurance and life insurance policy that will cover you b) start a retirement fund immediately.
And finally, don't freak out when you do finally make the break. I've seen guys when they make the break think that they are going to be making so much more $$'s now that they can do this full time, well that's not always how it goes, more time does not always mean more $$$'s in fact most see a reduction in productivity. Make sure that you don't allow all that extra free time to be eaten up on the boards either
Good luck and I wish you well when you are ready to take the plunge !!
