been trying in adult for 7 months. What revenue/sales should I have/aiming for?

[scottybuzz]

Hello I have been properly trying in adult for about 7 months now . I wont post any of my stats or anything like that.

But how many sales a day should someone who has been in as long as me have. and what type of revenue if you include rebills.

Where were you 7 months down the line?

Your opinions?

Thanks in advance

[woj]

you should be easily doing 5-6k/month, if you don't break 10k/month within a year you are doing something seriously wrong...

[bu((aneer]

Well that depends, what exactly have you been doing?

[pornguy]

And dont believe everything that you read on this board.

It really has nothing to do with what you should be making, it has to do with what you WANT to make.

wtf 10k a month per year is 120k thats about 70k in the UK which is the wage of a top doctor.

Hmm i better get some work done.

it takes a few months to get a hang of it, and to get it rolling, but it's not rocket science... and of course you have to work for it, you can't just spend 10 hours/day hanging out on gfy, and hope to make 5-6k within 7 months...

But you should have a few sales per day, maybe 2-3 if you have done something right

agreed. I must stop posting so much crap

theres your first problem

[Wagerboy]

Whoa...I have been doing this since July, thats 7 months. I make NO WHERE near 10K/month nor do I even get a sale a day...If anyone would like to "take me under thier wing" I'll gladly pay a % of profits. I clearly am doing something wrong here. ICQ me.

There are too many variables here chief.

One blanket answer will simply not do.

It depends on how much work you are truely doing.. 8, 10, 12 hours a day. And posting on here doesn't count.

Also what you are doing.. tgp, paysites, etc.

From there, it's a formula, but I would say if you are putting in at MINIMUM 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, you should be making at least a few grand.

The only limit to your income possibilities is YOU. Don't compare your success with others, compete with yourself and set realistic but progressive goals.

If youre an affiliate - dont rely on recurring sales - most programs dont re-bill very long.

Try and build more sites, more seo, more affiliate programs (join them).

Perhaps the biggest single bit of advice tho having said the above - would be to NOT rely long term on SEO - get yourself some serious bookmarks.

IE - build a serious site.

[scottybuzz]

WOW - I am flattered with the sensible remarks this thread has produced. from the target quotes to the do what you feel is right.

The numbers posted are noway near what I am doing, but I impressed with them and WILL STRIVE TO ACHIEVE THEM.

Thanks alot for your opinions.


Looks like its less time for me on Gfy and if I do post on here loads with shit. Just quote this thread to me lol

thanks

[Lee]

I think that if you are doing stuff like TGP work/other grunt type work solid, in seven months in reality these days clearing $50-75 a day is not too bad. However it is speculate to accumulate and the trick is knowing were to invest your money. When you hit $100 a day it seems to snowball, then you need to up your targets to 150, 200 and so on and aim for consistency.

Oh and post a lot less.

[vvq]

What kind of question is this? Without knowing how much startup cash you had to invest no one can even come close to giving you a correct answer.

That's like saying walk through a casino. People are hitting jackpots all over the place. It's true, but you don't notice the many more people who aren't.

Most people make much less than $10k per month after their first year...

hahaha, he was kidding!

I'd say if you've only got one site, maybe one, two sales a day

Very Wrong. I make way more with recurring rev shares and I promote both. Pick the right program.

[nico-t]

the first year i only tried submitting galleries on free hosts. Extremely lazy, being a follower by submitting and being a cheap fuck with the worthless free hosting made me absolutely nothing the first year.
Fuck am i glad i dont submit galleries anymore, i hated it.

[joehoya]

What have you been doing for 7 months? TGPs, blogs, freesites? And how much time a day do you spend working on your business (minus gfy time)

[woj]

Why would I be kidding? so you are saying that after 7 whole months of working full time at this, one should expect to build a business that makes only $1500/month?

Why would anyone even bother? Even if you have only basic web/html/etc knowledge you would earn much more than that working a normal mainstream job....

Take a look at your average daily sales for the last two months. Bump that up by 50% and make that your goal. Once you consistently reach that goal on a daily basis increase the goal by another 50%. Keep doing this over and over. Setting a goal that is too hard to attain is pointless. Build the foundation and work on from there. And do NOT come to GFY until you have reached your daily goal.

[KrisKross]

How much you make has nothing to do with how long you've been doing it. It's all about how much time and effort you put in.

I know you hate to hear it, but if you had spent half the time you post working instead, you'd be making more.

to me it also sounded like you're kidding, you said it in a style which is similar to the sarcasm you often use

so you are saying that after 7 whole months of working full time

who said full time?

scotty definitely doesn't work full time and many people aren't

and seriously, one should aim for passive income, not working 10 hours per day. But if you have programming skills (or any other) and you can put them to use with SEO etc and make great returns on it, then it's indeed worth working full time - 8-12 hours daily. But that should require a very substantial income to make it worth.

Because one of the greatest things in this biz is freedom. Sure, money = freedom, but not if you work 10 hours daily.

The best is when you wake up and you don't even have to turn on the PC on a particular day (or - ideally - for the next week) with no loss to your income... That can be achieved by having typ3in domains, earning money with webmaster referrals or doing PPC SE's.....

In 2007 I should concentrate more on PPC SE's.... (unless I buy a two good domains soon and then get lazy for the next 10 months lol) but Adwords is a bitch to work with....

Oh and I should get a text tgp with solid bookmakers perhaps too. Anyone selling anything?

For every such webmaster at the convention, how many are sitting at home that failed?

[ADL Colin]

A sign that you are on the right track is that you keep making more money per day. If you are making $x/day ask yourself what it would take to double your operation. Is it possible to quadruple it? What are the limitations? If you can't, what else can you do? Where will your growth come from?

10k a month can't pay the bills on a mortgage, cars, insurance, etc...

You need to be making at least 20k a month to be comfortable.

Put down the bong, and back away from the computer.

This is the most ridiculous shit I've read in awhile. If you can't make it on $10ka month, you need to move, or stop a drug habit.

[scottybuzz]

Thanks for all your advice!

[tehHinjew]

hey scotty whats up
ive been working my ass and now im aiming for 10 sales a day
thats almost average 350$ a day almost 90 grand a year US
any ways dude if you have 2 tgps lemme know because im releasing 2 of new tgps next week and i would like to try something i saw on this forum

[bdld]

just get one more sale than the previous month, every month. at least if there's an increase every month you know you're headed in the right direction.

[scottybuzz]

IMO thats business going down because of the time scale

if it wasnt for rebills one of my sponsors yesterday would have been shit only 2 sales but I had 12 rebills

rebills always save the day

this should highly depend on your skill set upon entry to this business...

You are making $10k a month after being in the biz about 4 months?

[cutievids]

I work a bit less on weekends to keep a sane mind. But during the week probably between 10-12 hour days.

A little over 12 if you average it out - and I'm still not happy with that. It's more like 3 months since I wasted my first month or so with cam sponsors and a couple sites, but I still learned alot.

I'm not new to the net. I've been making websites and whatnot since I was 12 - so going on 11 years.
