this was part time for me back in 96
little did i know i would make a career out of this
and here I am 6 years later making bank

Ok here is my story (I know no one cares)

Worked as a bartender, had a cleaning company and now am in college getting my BBA.

I have seen checks over $1,000 per week, and frankly dont want this to be my full time job EVER! Because I like to be around ppl, not in front of a comp all day. I have almost enough money to make a big investment in real estate that will let me live good for a very long time.

Not bad for an 18yr old? :Graucho

He's looks dead to the world, his skin is white from lack of sun, and he has no interest in that babe next to him. Thats why I'm never gonna go full time. I'm staying part time landscaping in the outdoors and get exercise, yes I like being a landscaper. I would never let myself go like that.

Firstly, wanted to say that this is a good thread.

Carrie made some good points. My personal situation is that I know I don't want to work for other people. I'm a "Self-Employed" type of person, so I rather work alone or with a partner, not with someone above me.

My background is in Marketing and in PC Networking. I hated office politics, I hated corporate fakes, and I despised working hard and seeing that positive results only helped the higher ups, not myself or my peers.

Will I be in the Industry for the long haul? That I don't know. My business is Marketing. Adult entertainment is a product for me. I don't want to come in here and follow the masses, I want to innovate a little and be at the forefront. I want to set something up here that will work on it's own and I can then move on to other ventures, either in the industry or outside. Wherever the opportunities are.

I don't do this for the love of porn, I do it because Porn is a challenging environment because people are very innovative and react quickly.
:2 cents:

If I wanted quick money, I would get a regular part-time job. It would be better for putting me through school, and less time-consuming. I do this because it lets me make money from my main creative outlet.

Hey Tib don't think I could forget you...that was one helluva night of partying.

I'll definitely hit you up on ICQ.

I'm in it until the end.

a fucking men.

:glugglug

I will stay in it as long as the money is good. If you plan to do it for any length of time then pushing traffic to your own sites is the most stable way of making a living. I do hope to make the internet my career but something in mainstream.

if you could make more money, and it would be less time-consuming doing a part-time job... you are in the wrong industry... seriously.

alot of guys i know are quite the opposite of that. go surfing or something. it doesnt take much not to end up an albino. :thumbsup

What's wrong with albinos?

Hmmm and how old were you when you were a bartender?:helpme

16 - 17

your statements continue to amaze me....

Well, Za Ha has always been a big liar. I just stopped believing him.

Za Ha, you'll have to see checks a lot bigger than $1000/week before you have enough green for an "big investment in real estate that will let me live good for a very long time". Better crank up the hitbot.

:1orglaugh

Why? Because the main reason I do this is because I enjoy it?

no DOUBT!

I retired into this business - six years ago come April - so I doubt I shall be doing anything else soon...

just riding the wave... when it's time to do something else, I'll do something else... if it takes me 5 more years for it to be the right time, than be it..

so easier to go with the present rather than worrying too much about in 5 years...


I'm young, got lots of time in front of me ;)

paul's been saying that same line for over 20 years now......

Actually that would depend on the part time job ....

Thats exactly WHY I like this job, because I DON 'T have to be around other people all day. I hate other people , people bug.
I'd rather be in front of my comp than be around annoying people all day! My comp is my lover, and my best friend :Graucho

I wish I could do this the rest of my life... Pays good and lots of fun... But I'm off for a real job in a few years I guess, got myself 2 masters degrees so it would be a shame to waste them with you horny guys :winkwink: :winkwink: :winkwink:
