    Whats the minimum amount of money someone in this industry should be making?

    Whats the minimum amount of money someone in adult should make per month? Based on how easy you think it is to make money... assume its the average person, works 50-60 hours a week online, knows the basics at least, has the basic skills. Dont BS about "well it depends" just say what you think the minimum someone should be able to earn in adult is.

    2g a month. If you can't possibly do that- come live with me. I'll split the rent with you.

        The minimum amount someone should be making is min wage / 2 x 3.

          Minimum what? There's no minimum. Some people make 0$ and work a lot and some make millions and don't do shit. It's all about how much you're willing to invest and how hard you're working and other shit.

              It depends on what the person has stashed away before he enters this biz. If theres a surplus, he/she can make less until the business is developed. I don't know many people that started 1 day and made 2 grand a month immediatly. It takes time to build. I didn't make much for about a year, but now biz has definitly picked up.

                    Yeah if you can't make at LEAST 2-3k a month at this and it's a full time gig.. I think you should look into another line of work.

                              I dont think even 80% of GFY, are people in the adult web industry.

                                      That's because only 20% or even less of gfyers do this full time...

                                        2 options on the net:

                                        1 Its perfect for working a little bit and make as much as a 40 hrs a week job.
                                        2 You work as much as you would do at a normal job but you make shitloads more.

                                                I think if someone cant make $3k a month they should either try a little harder or go to Mcdonalds.. $100 a day, make 10 shitty galleries for someone and you can make $100 a day.

                                                  Since you are always worried about what others make, what did you make at datinggold ?

                                                      You can never make much money working for others. I make several times what I made at datinggold on my own.

                                                              Out of all the sponsors, tgp owners, etc that needs galleries you cant find 10 per day at a low price of $10?

                                                                  So technically im at -$640 BUT! I gained some recurring users so assuming they all dont CB/Cancel i should be getting about $175/month in MRC ;-)

                                                                  How honest can I be ? ;-)

                                                                                                What's the MINIMUM someone should be making? How about $0. That's the minimum. It doesn't get any more minimum than that.

                                                                                                As for anyone who puts in 60 hours a week and is NOT running a paysite program or shooting content, well...show me what you do for 10 hours a day, six days a week. Surfing GFY doesn't count.

                                                                                                Why doesnt surfing GFY count? I've made several thousand $ month just by surfing GFY and getting information and contacts.

                                                                                                  It's pretty much most guys making a few thousand a month and the other guys making the really big dollars.

                                                                                                  I'm thinkin that's pretty much on the mark...

                                                                                                  I like a little story you (KRL) mentioned a while back about the old man you had a discussion with in a bar....he wrote 2 checks, one for 100 bucks one for 1m bucks...threw them on the ground and asked you to pick them up and let you know which one was harder to pickup....


                                                                                                  that's a very telling story and I know I fucked up the retelling of it, but the message is solid...

                                                                                                    Firstly, decide what are your financial needs to survive?

                                                                                                    Are you 19 living rent free in "Mom's basement"?
                                                                                                    Do you have three ex wives sucking you dry?
                                                                                                    Do you have expensive habits and lifestyle?

                                                                                                    Each person's living expenses vary widely.


                                                                                                    Next do you want to "just survive" each month?
                                                                                                    or be able to save/reinvest 10%, or 50% ... of your income?

                                                                                                    Those two factors change what your minimum needs to be so there is no one size fits all answer.

                                                                                                    Having said that if you cannot at least meet the "just survive" level each month, get out, or get a loan if you can see light at the end of the tunnel.
