Posting 12 k all in contests must be a bitch

Days/weeks of tweeking to say the least.

i think it takes most people awhile to do it

Exactly.

In porn it took me a few weeks, I was selling photos via mail order and surprised at the response. On the Internet the first month we sold $600, second $3,000 and third $6,000 since then it has climbed steadily.

The paysite has always done over $100 a day from the beginning.

Problem I see is that many follow the same pattern, looking for the sponsor who pays the biggest %, does the most for them and gives the most freebies. Then find they are promoting the same site 2000 others guys are and wonder why they are not making money.

You gotta admit it's funny to see these stories of success.

btw, I do less than $100 a week, could you wealthy guys lend me some dosh? :(

I'm at $99 pr day now - been here for 19 years...

(Planning on spending more than $99 a day next year, so I can get to see the real nasty stuff too)

I'm not going to say how much I make with my site because it would piss some people off royally.

I did the site as a protest and it startled me that it started actually making money! I was with another AVS at the time and my overhead was a pack of cigs, a six pack of Mountain Dew and an art pad. I did this part-part time too. I don't pay for traffic. I've never, ever met a traffic broker worth a shit. No ppc from the search engines either. Just word of mouth. I've found however that making galleries is a huge difference! Some of you TGP MGP and TGP2 owners really, really know what the fuck you are doing.

What's ironic is I started out coloring my art by hand with pencils, water color etc. because way back when the software programs didn't have what it took. Then Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro etc. came along. Worked fine, but now the programs are actually 10 times slower than me hand coloring! So it's back to basics again.

I was just sitting here this week looking at how much money and influence one site can do even if it's not in the top ten page of the search engines. I experimented with a paysite and revenue program and it took off. I plan on launching a new one soon.

So making money is not a problem. It's never been a problem. The problem is either waiting for technology to catch up to you or you catching up to the technology. If I started an affiliate program I would be able to buy a Lambourghini in different colors for each day of the week.

Sure I could go back to slaving for some comic book company making $2k a month or working for some animation company making $50k per year before taxes and union dues which would knock that down to $$25k per year working 18 hours a day for some chemically dependent gay psychiatric patient producer but NFW!

So each case is different. I'm not swimming in loot but I can count on it coming in. Believe it or not this business is more stable than mainstream news, comics, animation. It's really freakin' weird but I understand why.

I've seen many a pornmeister come and go. I've seen young guys make a fortune and blow it all on chicks and gambling and other dumb shit.

It's not how much you make a day, it's how much you can bank and count on.

Back in '97 it was really really freakin' easy, but not anymore. Now you actually have to work hard.

about 2 hours the first day. But there are days when ccbill seems to be out to lunch... so to say. then others like - wow....

I honestly don't remember the time when I could live on $100 per day... :helpme

50........

When I got into this shit I was straight off the street... I don't mean I was living on the street or anything lol I was selling vhs tapes to stores in nyc.. when the bottom dropped out of that market.. I decided to invest in producing about 2001. I hooked up with my partner and we set off to take on the world. we started shooting and started up a site. We got a high listing on the Hun we were delighted. We got 2 trial members .. I remember sitting and waiting if they were gonna renew lol..Time passed and we hung in there.
We got a non nude model with a following to go nude and bust herself with a dildo. We were down to literaly 450dollars , We chose the domain Exposed18.com to launch our new girl. Somebody hacked the join page to PAY to see a day before we launched. In the morning I woke up to find I made 5K.The rest is history. I make a nice living in this bizz and wish the same for all of ya. First 100? It was when I was pushin vhs from my trunk lol :)

Nice story. I wish i had roots like that.

Don't dream of thinking any shit I said was a "success story". :1orglaugh

In the middle of that there was real shit times fighting bullshit obscenity cases over pics of topless talent blah and plenty more harassment. It's never quite like some folks assume.

It's also not any get rich quick scheme, more a few decades of marathon. It also really matters not that much how many $'s you earn - that don't change your life in any meaninful way.

And... Sorry to hear you only earn $100/week. Clue - get someone to employ ya instead! :winkwink:

there's no porn in money

I make $100/day saling short icq nyumbers :Oh crap

but... but... I'm too stupid to be employed by anyone! :Oh crap

Doh! I am still not there yet :( :Oh crap

A few months.

I don't really remember how long was it when I got my $100.

Around half an hour of spamming the shit out of Infoseek

OK... Just don't tell em!!! :1orglaugh

Ah!! Was that you??? :winkwink:

damn tooting !

6 months? it took 6 months to get $100 a day? not trying to be an ahole but a 100 isnt that hard is it... one page some traffic put AFF on it some banners and its there...
