Got started doing design for corporate websites as the content coordinator/designer, when I was "Called to the Dark Side" I didn't pick this business, it picked ME. The Photography thing just came naturally after that.

Shit everyone on the planet can say that.

That's cool, sounds like it would be a fairly easy transition.

This question again?

**TurboTrucker** · 01-12-2003, 11:55 AM

I haven't seen this question before and I can't find it with the search engine so I'm posting this question again. If anyone can find a link to this question from the past I'd like to read the other threads.

Met the right crew and porn's alot more in demand than corporate america thinks.

976-LICK

was the beginning.

In those days voice cards hadn't been developed yet, so we had all the moaning and groaning sex recordings we had made on looped cartridges in Takashio industrial players.

Bought 25 of them. Stuck them in a small 6' x 10' storage room in the bottom of a big office bldg. in downtown LA. Put our first full page ad in Hollywood Press, a sleazy paper distributed in newspaper boxes on street corners all over Southern California. Sat there waiting for the first ads to hit the newstands.

My partner and I started to sweat and were beginning to worry we had just blown $25K. Still nothing happening. Then all of a sudden one machine clicked on. And we were like wow, cool. Then a 2nd machine clicked on. Then a 3rd. A 4th. Within an hour all the machines were lit up and playing our sex tapes.

We just looked at each other in oh my God smiling silence knowing we had just hit a gold mine.

20 million+ calls later and still smiling. $ Cha Ching $

**TurboTrucker** · 01-12-2003, 02:48 PM

Wow 20 million calls is a lot of $$$

Be careful of what? Chargebacks? I bet theres a lot of that in phone sex.

We have 550 lines in boston that are 10 cents a minute, and they've been around forever so they must do well. And I have a connection with the biggest adult paper here that'll give me big discounts on advertising.

Yeh we made some heavy duty serious coin for AT&T shareholders especially with our first 900 numbers, which were 2 of the first 100 issued, when the split was 90% to them and 10% to the IP. They got a years worth of that lopsided deal and then we went to corporate hq and said if you want this 900 industry to take off and flourish its got to be equitable for the IP's who are providing the services and spending $ on the advertising to generate the calls. After that they saw the light and agreed they'd make more in the long run by taking less of the pie.

I know that's a big number btw, and its actually way more than that. We had some really big non-adult pay-per-call progs that were one of a kind and really brought in the calls with the help of network and cable TV advertising of course.

Mainstream programs. Business, sports, music, and the like.

**FlyingIguana** · 01-12-2003, 10:54 PM

i would have gotten into the business in 95 if i had a pc. i figured porn and the internet was a match made in heaven. had to save up my cash to buy a pc and get things rolling. school just sucked all my money.

**FlyingIguana** · 01-12-2003, 10:56 PM

**Oliver Klozov** · 01-13-2003, 01:30 AM
