Middle of 2000.

I remember making a tgp gallery, uploading it to angelfire and submitting it to thehun using the IP address instead of "angelfire.com" and it got listed. That's where I made my first $ in this biz.

First site went up in 1994 on a /~ domain, 1995 registered my first domain. Site is still up and running.

First computer ran Windows 3.11, had 2 gigs of ram, bought 4 additional for $130 before ram went up to $45+ a gig for my next machine -- 16 gigs for $780.

So from there I started surfing porn and downloading pics from AOL and other places and even some BBS's. I decided I could build a site. So I took all the pictures I had taken and started building a paysite. I then met up with Clay from Paycom and was their second ever client. So I set up a billing option and from there it all started.

Before the paysite I use to own some very large top50 sites which is where people traded traffic before there was thumbnail posts. I use to own teenfactory, thepics, tropicalteens, and one other I cant remember. These sites did hundereds of thousands of hits a day. Plus I had a ton of circle jerk sites that we would send the traffic from top50 to top50 and just skim some of the traffic to send to xpics and they would prepay me like 50 grand a month for a few links. Man it was easy money back then..

whats your story?

oh man do I remember xpics easy grand/day...

Yea, when I first got started I had to dump all my saving into my 1 man company just to get it afloat. Then for the first year I think I put 85% of what I made back into the company and even quit a really good job. It was so scary at first but those 18 hour days payed off. Hard work actually works I guess

That's bitchen. The only difference is, we still work 18 hours a day.
Knowing you have not only employees that live off of you, but just like yourself. There are thousands of webmasters out there living their lifestyles because of what you built.

january 98 - my parents got the internet on their pentium 1 computer. i surfed a lot in my spare time as i had never been online before. within a few months that got boring so i decided to make my own site. i started off making a music site, that didn't make any money but it was fun and nice to hear feedback about it.

then i got an email from one of my free webhosts about how he was making so much money off adult check with porn sites. i didn't think too much of it but after i quit my shitty factory job i decided to give it a try. celeb sites were some of my favorite sites to check out back then so i decided to start one of my own that summer. it flopped because i didn't know what the hell was doing (making thumbs out of full sized pics by using the width, height shit) ect. well i didn't give up and tried again on better hosting after gaining some more know how. well this time it succeeded and even tho all i intended to do was make enough money to pay my car insurance i ended up making more than my parents combinded in 1999.

i moved out that year and have been doing it full time ever since. 6 years this month.

you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

Funny this topic came up...just found my very first site a few weeks ago...lol
How I started: In '97 got divorced and bought a WebTv (first time I had ever seen the internet). Saw all these personal websites and wanted one for myself...my ISP said it wasn't possible with WebTv but I didn't beleive him so eventually found a site called angelfire and this thing called HTML...no clue what it was but looked fun so I started learning it and created my very own web page http://www.angelfire.com/wa/litelred/ ...yahooo! I was addicted...lol Got my brother addicted to WebTv as well and since he was into porn he started figuring out how to make money with it. Few months go by and I buy my first PC a screaming 386...wow what a difference copy and paste makes...lol I made my first web page on that rocket of a PC for my construction biz http://olypen.com/shamrock/ then my brother kept getting help from me with HTML so I was getting used to how the adult world works and started my own site http://www.xxxhandyman.com From there I just kept trying to learn everything I could and am doing the same to this very day

Hey Mike,
How's ROB ----> <------

I'm good just hanging out! ;) Let's see i started working with mike in 96. i was the lucky one that got to submit all our crap to all the top 50 lists about 5 times a day...lol BORING! i'm so out of short descriptions its not even funny. Then we started silvercash and i got to stuff checks all day, but it was cool because we used to sit at home on the couch and watch movies while doing it. lol the good old days... Then Mike sent me to design school to learn photoshop and i started designing banners and our sites. The original Jungle girls... ha ha ha That went on for quite some time. Now we have other workers doing all that fun stuff and pretty much everything i do now is top secret sorry!

Whitster it's been a while for sure! That whole CB thing in funny. Tell leanne i said hi! oh wait never mind, she hated us. ha ha ha Just can't get enough of them canadian girls... ;)

I started in 1997,because i wanted to learn html after having done CAD design since the mid 80's. I had a consultant come in to teach me html..and after a few sessions he decided i was ready to build a site! He asked me what i wanted to build one about,,what interests etc...so the first thing that came into my mind was Babes and Bikini's.He checked to see if bikinipage.com was available and it was.Immediately Yahoo became my friend and gave the site first page listing for nearly 5 years.The rest is history.It started as a fun hobby and became lucrative immediately.

I was hired on by WEGCash, Purecash, and G3X last month to provide the marketing. In 1998-2000 I worked in the dot coms in San Francisco on the mainstream affiliate programs. And between all the excitement, I ran golf courses. Don't ask.

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
