What's an average salary here?

This is the second year as I'm running my own business, and I have some goals as far as my personal income concerned. However, I'd like to know what is an average adult webmaster salary ( in USD per year ). In other words, what is that number that when you cross it - you're considered to be successful in the industry?

Let me re-phrase the question to maybe get a better response:

Is $200K /year ( in profits - not in revenues ) a lot around her or "OK"?

Thats more than most, and less than many.

Its also completely irrelevant.

The Heron,

Of course, I get a salary. My business is incorporated and I get paid as a CEO. If you're not encorporated in one way or another - you're putting yourself out there with no protection of your assets. And if you own a house or have a fat mutual fund - you may loose it all if some shit happens to you and you are in the red.

If people here stopped posting so much they might make some money and forgot about the TGP thing.

How fucking hard can it be to sell the most popular product in history over the best selling vehicle in history?

You just need to decide if your in the business of giving porn away for free, in it for the money.

Ripping off webmasters is the biggest profit maker.

But Shhsh I did'nt say that

a successful entrepreneur only keeps a few bucks a month for himself (enough to make a living and have some fun) and invests every penny he can get his hands on back in his company or projects. Thats were REAL money comes from ;)

mrthumbs, can't agree with you more. However, I have to admit that I'm tempted every month to increase my salary instead of putting some of those extra profits back into the business. But I've been good about it. So, I'm hoping for the best.

How much do the guys earn that have just finished Harvard Business School and got a job at Wall Street?
If you earn similar amounts, but work less and in a more comfortable environment, then you are definitely succesfull.

( This is not about me, just an example that you don't have to make $250k yearly to be considered succesfull ).

Hard to say lots of Clowns on GFY just like Oracleporn who like to pimp with there Sig Money and tell Gay Stories.

Without those clowns i'd say $40-$50k a year is average wich is about $100-$150 daily

$200k/year for your second year in this business is very aggresive. Of course it would depend on how you did in the first year and what other experience you had in this business.

What makes you think that as the owner of an incorporated company, you can't lose more than your company assets?

Why ask what the average guy here earns so you can set a target for yourself.

The avergage guy here is either a clown who likes to think he's in the porn business or, if you look at it another way, people like me who have been in porn years as our sole income.

Look at who you are and what you can offer in terms of skills, money and effort. Then remember you are coming into an industry that is crowded with wanabees. Now think about what you can earn.

You must have what the average guy here has, before you can think about earning what he does.
