The Official "Over 10 Years in this Biz" thread... - GoFuckYourself.com

Semi-Retired-Dave · 02-11-2007, 11:31 PM

We are going on 12 years give or take a few months.
From AVS/AEN to Private label credit cards and everything else.

Post away if you have been in this biz for over a decade?

TheDoc · 02-11-2007, 11:36 PM

10 years strong this year

MikeSmoke · 02-11-2007, 11:41 PM

Started with my magazine in 94, moved online a few years later...

baddog · 02-11-2007, 11:43 PM

Started in '96

BIGTYMER · 02-11-2007, 11:44 PM

I'm going on 7.

Babaganoosh · 02-11-2007, 11:45 PM

First adult (and mainstream) site in 1996. Hard to imagine I have been doing this for so long.

I remember thinking AVS was a joke. I mean the concept of letting someone on my site for free simply because they had paid someone else for access to their site was something I could not comprehend.

Little did I know that a few years later I would run, then own a system.

I saw the value in it immediately. I made a shitload of money and also started my own AVS so I could effectively double my income without really doing anything different.

The money that I made with those initial avs sites and the avs itself I reinvested into a number of different business both online and off.

I am still reaping the rewards from that dinky little avs site I started so many years ago.

It's been a fun ride.

Thanks Adult Check and AgeCheck

bum rap on that btw Dave.

Here a few sites I made back in '99 using Cyberage.

Zebra · 02-12-2007, 12:04 AM

Full-time since Nov. '96.

Jim_Gunn · 02-12-2007, 12:18 AM

Sixteen years for me. Got in the porn biz in 1991 right out of college on the East Coast. My first real movie was shot in 1993 on Beta SP- Strap-On Sally- and was a huge success on VHS and launched a twenty-two volume series and multiple spinoffs. Now sixteen years later, a lot has changed, with high-definition video, non-linear editing, DVDs, and the internet.

LiveDose · 02-12-2007, 12:27 AM

Since '97.

Wow, I guess that makes 10. Go me!

I started running adult bookstores back in '95, and I remember the Strap-On Sally series very well. We used to get at least a few copies of the various volumes each week in our reorders

Damian_Maxcash · 02-12-2007, 12:37 AM

It will be 10 years around July - I think my first check was from some Canadian AVS - but it would have been closely followed by UGAS.

So what did you do before you started?

I got fired actually for being late too much. That was '98

Long story but just about everything you can imagine. From working at a tire shop, bathtub refinishing, construction, handyman. You name it, my partner and I tried it.

Started in 95 but didn't make a penny till around 97, then everything we made we put back in the biz. Long 12 years but we love what we do.

That got me thinking - the first check was from 'RealAVS' - talk about a blast from the past.

I remember getting my first sale and doing the math - I was going to be a millionaire within 6 months based on that $5.00

I never was good at math.......

HarlotCash Dyker · 02-12-2007, 02:13 AM

Opened my first site in 95 -

EscortBiz · 02-12-2007, 02:23 AM
