1996. AVS stuff, consulting, and custom coding. Much better at at least two of those things now. :1orglaugh

Jakke PNG 05-13-2014 04:32 AM

My first free site was in 1996. Oh how time flies.

Blazing 05-13-2014 07:15 AM

Hand proudly raised!! Started in 98/99, established sexycitycash.com , although a losing business venture due to some less than integrity minded behavior from my 1st business partner in this industry, it was a failed venture.. But... as time has evolved, I learned a great deal from that venture and lucky enough to still be in the game to this day.

98 or 99 can't recall w/ Influx Video
I sold video feeds by emailing sites owners or registrants AND they replied!
interesting facts:
-surfers join were handled by entering credit card #s on a keypad swipe terminal
-CCBill had 1 employee
-video companies gave you content licenses because we would sell their VHS tapes

Rand 05-13-2014 01:09 PM

1998 for me.

This thread is pretty epic.

PornDude 05-13-2014 01:23 PM

I wanted to make a babe blog back in 2001 but I failed. Damn mambo/joomla and its modules.

Sexy Rex 05-13-2014 02:05 PM

Launched VirtuaGirl in 1998, started getting traffic from newsgroups, then bought spots on the hun, started affiliation and everything exploded quickly

VirtuaGirl now features over 1500 girls, 4k etc, making more money today than ever, what a ride :)

Gerco 05-13-2014 02:16 PM

Spieglergirls 05-13-2014 02:52 PM

I worked as a PA and PM starting in 1986. But I really got into porn full time around 1995.

Hey Sean! I hadn't been to anything in years. Went to xbiz in Vegas in Jan, felt old but saw lots of old friends.
Hope the new(ish) gig at Orbital is going well!
