I'm not going to say how much I make with my site because it would piss some people off royally.

I did the site as a protest and it startled me that it started actually making money! I was with another AVS at the time and my overhead was a pack of cigs, a six pack of Mountain Dew and an art pad. I did this part-part time too. I don't pay for traffic. I've never, ever met a traffic broker worth a shit. No ppc from the search engines either. Just word of mouth. I've found however that making galleries is a huge difference! Some of you TGP MGP and TGP2 owners really, really know what the fuck you are doing.

What's ironic is I started out coloring my art by hand with pencils, water color etc. because way back when the software programs didn't have what it took. Then Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro etc. came along. Worked fine, but now the programs are actually 10 times slower than me hand coloring! So it's back to basics again.

I was just sitting here this week looking at how much money and influence one site can do even if it's not in the top ten page of the search engines. I experimented with a paysite and revenue program and it took off. I plan on launching a new one soon.

So making money is not a problem. It's never been a problem. The problem is either waiting for technology to catch up to you or you catching up to the technology. If I started an affiliate program I would be able to buy a Lambourghini in different colors for each day of the week.

Sure I could go back to slaving for some comic book company making $2k a month or working for some animation company making $50k per year before taxes and union dues which would knock that down to $$25k per year working 18 hours a day for some chemically dependent gay psychiatric patient producer but NFW!

So each case is different. I'm not swimming in loot but I can count on it coming in. Believe it or not this business is more stable than mainstream news, comics, animation. It's really freakin' weird but I understand why.

I've seen many a pornmeister come and go. I've seen young guys make a fortune and blow it all on chicks and gambling and other dumb shit.

It's not how much you make a day, it's how much you can bank and count on.
