How did you get your start in the adult entertainment industry

[TheDynasty]

I was surfing for webcam girls years and years ago ended up joining a site and saw the affiliate link at the bottoms. I thought it would be awesome if I could make money promoting camgirls and getting paid. I started making blogs , free sites and used social media to push traffic to those sites. A lot has changed since then!

How did you get a start in the adult entertainment industry?

in 99 I started a ezboard that was star wars based but had a home theater area as well as a password hidden porn forum.. In 01 a guy that ran a free site found my board and invited me to a webmaster/ surfer picture post forum.. Bought my first domain in 01 and the rest is history.

I attended a storesonline "scam" 2 day seminar. Ended up paying 10 grand for something I could have set up in a few days. Learned about affiliates and advertising and a bunch of other stuff. Business failed, had to start something on my own. Started with amazon and somehow made my way to porn.

Heard about Internet Marketing and made the first website I could think of: a penis enlargement website.

Born into it. I 'took over' from my Dad in about 1984 / 85 and I've never done anything else

I was robbed 3 times in 2 weeks and had nothing, so I found a few computers in an alley and barely got one to work from the parts and I've been working ever since.

I saw an advertisement for "Adult Webmaster School" back in the day. I think I paid $100 or so.

My good old friend showed me his porn sites once I was totally in the mainstream.

Was sucking all these dicks so figured I should make some money off it

I stared in 1996 with my first web page, a daily bikini page. There was so few web pages back then so it was easy to get traffic. Some random guy offered me $1k a month to put up a banner to his preggo site and I was hooked.

By this time I had met Steve Lightspeed and opened up my first solo girl site with an 18 year old neighbor. I went to college to study computers and electrical engineering, but I was living in the Bay Area and graduated during the dot com bubble burst so there was no jobs. Steve Lightspeed offered me a job in Phoenix so I went to work for Lightspeed Cash. After six years with Lightspeed, I went onto Yanks Cash, then Playboy, then YNOT.

Started doing SEO and content updates for Busty Amateurs in 2000.

I sold content to Busty Amateurs around 2000 too... didn't the owner find God somewhere and shutter the business?

I started shooting for a softcore site in 1998 that never saw the light of day... did about a dozen shoots, all on slide film, and ended up with enough material for a portfolio of glamour nudes which helped me find more work, including hardcore porn shoots.

[pimpmaster9000]

I wanted to live like hugh hefner with girls so I opened a 3 floor studio and had girls come and go in shifts...I also love having a wallet full of money women made for me by doing slutty stuff for cash customers...it strokes the ego...

Started doing my own online marketing & advertising company then took a job at Python just when they were starting up. Never regretted it and have been in the industry for over 25 years.
