Good question. I think the new generation is surfmasters

Some Guy · 02-26-2007, 09:51 PM

Six years for me already! Holy crap, time flies fast. I've actually been working online for seven years but it took me a year before I was making enough to live off of comfortably (and then some).

Brad Mitchell · 02-26-2007, 09:51 PM

Seven years this month!

My advice... Be honest, work hard and try to learn something from every person and every situation that you encounter.

Cheers,

Brad

MandyBlake · 02-26-2007, 10:17 PM

7 yrs for me.
be prepared to work hard

WiredGuy · 02-26-2007, 10:28 PM

Full time would be 4 years or so, but I was doing this part-time much longer. My best advice, think outside the box. Don't just go around submitting galleries or opening yet another tgp/mgp, be innovative and come up with something truly creative.

Snake Doctor · 02-26-2007, 11:03 PM

I just started yesterday, anyone know where I can get a good and cheap blog design really fast?

Also I need some reliable mission critical hosting for under $10 a month.

If you know of a processor that doesn't charge the $750 visa registration fee that would be great too.

I'll be back in a month to sell all of my sites for $100 and then get a job as an affiliate rep.

In the meantime, see sig!!

Forest · 02-26-2007, 11:05 PM

8 years this august

baddog · 02-26-2007, 11:06 PM

10+ years.

Pay attention to the Gold Rush of 1849.

mattz · 02-26-2007, 11:08 PM

36 years

Tempest · 02-26-2007, 11:08 PM

5+ years... you have to actually do some hard work to make money.

CyberHustler · 02-26-2007, 11:15 PM

I haven't made enough to live off this as a full time job yet... I've been grinding a little over a year though, hopefully it pays off soon!

Makingcoin · 02-26-2007, 11:20 PM

6 Years strong!

kektex · 02-26-2007, 11:37 PM

2 years now
My advice: do some actual work instead of reading forums all day.I wasted sooo much time just reading rather than actually getting work done.

Let me just insert the obligatory : There´s money in porn?? (slight variation cos I felt like it)

LiveDose · 02-26-2007, 11:41 PM

I just started my tgp. Wish me luck!

Furious_Female · 02-26-2007, 11:44 PM

7 years in July. My advice? Stop giving stuff away. People have $$$ and aren't afraid to use it, if they HAVE to.

jscott · 02-26-2007, 11:48 PM

i'm at 6-7 years now

freshxxxmovie · 02-26-2007, 11:50 PM

One year and 10 more days;
Be patient,and there's little money in porn

bdld · 02-27-2007, 12:03 AM

something like 7 years or so.

uno · 02-27-2007, 12:25 AM

10 years this year.

Fap · 02-27-2007, 12:27 AM

gecko · 02-27-2007, 02:46 AM

should be close to ten years

Scott McD · 02-27-2007, 02:48 AM

Around 5 years now. Advice ? Take risks every so often. Some pay off, some don't...

jayeff · 02-27-2007, 03:05 AM

My best advice would be to stay off the boards and do not network. The consequence of being constantly exposed to other peoples' ideas and practises is too often that you end up working just like everyone else. Even if you do what you do well, you will find yourself competing head-on with others who do their job well and may have the advantage of experience and of already being established.

Instead of worrying about what your competitors are doing, focus on the people to whom you are trying to sell. Think about what is not out there, rather than about what is. The most successful porn sites fail to sell to the vast majority of their visitors. Reasonably you have more chance to find a way of selling to that vast number to whom existing sites do not appeal, than by fighting over the relatively small number who are already being served.

american pervert · 02-27-2007, 03:21 AM

been in the game since 1998 but im moving more towards shooting content, does that still count??

Violetta · 02-27-2007, 06:16 AM

3 years... Not fulltime though

BVF · 02-27-2007, 06:28 AM

going on 5 years fulltime and 7 years total...And I would agree with Jayeff... I never read one webmaster board until I had already launched my site. I remember back in 2002, pornresource was telling people to not waste their time starting another paysite.

Juicy D. Links · 02-27-2007, 06:29 AM

Since 2000 , early 1999

Farang · 02-27-2007, 06:30 AM

~2 years

Methodcash Rick · 02-27-2007, 07:20 AM

In the biz since 1991 with adult BBS' then "online" in 1995, so a total of 16 years

ADL Colin · 02-27-2007, 07:41 AM

Right at 10 years.

Advice?

This is a business. Run yours like one. Learn everything you can about BUSINESS in general.

Listen carefully to people who are more successful than you. Ask lots of questions of them. Most people love to share what they know - at least in general.

Really? I was earning $500-1k a day from day 3. Maybe you're just dumb?

jimthefiend · 02-27-2007, 07:47 AM

Full time '99 thru '02. Then part time for years, back to full time in early '05.

Advice?

Get off your fat ass and get some excersise for a couple hours a day at least. Work out, walk around the mall. SOMETHING.

Not only does your ass get fat in this job, but your brain does too. Walk away from the pc daily. You'll be fresher.

TeenCat · 02-27-2007, 07:49 AM

two months for me... do you think its too late?

BritneyCT · 02-27-2007, 07:52 AM

7 years total - About 6 years full-time.

There IS money in porn

KingK7 · 02-27-2007, 07:56 AM
