ok well this is very conflicting to me.
You say you still work but yet you say you gave up your day job 2 months back.
So what is it then?

Because I'm not working for anyone else. For me, a "real job" means going and schlepping it for a paycheck. I go to give my employees some time off.

100% the online self employeed stint for 6 years now..

Your right in a sense if you think of it your way,but really a (real job) means
"The art of making money from something you have worked at to produce this"!
No matter what anyone does to do this its a (real job)as long as it isnt handed to them....

I work a real job and do this.

The month of July 07 was the first time I made more money in one month in porn than I did at my 9 to 5.

So its getting better.

One day I'm gonna tell em' to "take this job and shove it!"

Even with porn I work hard to produce something. For me and mine. To benefit us and no one else. So by your definition even working hard in this biz for yourself constitutes a real job.

Getting up and going to work 9 to 5 for someone else is a "real job". That's what most people think when you use that term.

YES !
Thats the type of dhit I wanna hear out here!

Started in the biz March of 04. Full time and exclusively adult since Jan 05.

right and that is what we are taught!
That working for yourself is just playing and not a real job!

Right on:thumbsup

Working for the man sucks

I don't think of it as playing. No one else I know thinks that. At least they're not saying it to my face.

It usually feels like I'm working twice as hard for half price. :1orglaugh

Well in that industry it always does but you should already know that!

Option missing - "I don't only work in porn, but that is the main time-consuming business among serveral others"

PS And been in adult industry decades before you or I ever had a computer.

Im concerned for this type of approach man.

Is that supposed to fear us who might be serious and new to it?

Id like to know how many people actually work dangerous jobs like yours I wonder if half of them are comp lit?

Not all porn, but all online since 98 baby.

very nice since 98:thumbsup

Put "fear" into noobs?? Hell no:) Apart from serious folks who work and run real businesses - over 50% of this board bought a computer and a few other peripheral novelties and became "webmasters". Most could never run a real life biz in adult to save their asses and will be gone in a year and replaced with a fresh batch of sponsor fodder. It has been like that since the start of "online adult" and unlikely to change.

Despite that, a few will succeed and become "permanent members" - and good luck to em - they deserve rewards for their efforts :thumbsup

40 hrs + a week for the past two years. Its the only thing I do.

We I dont know about that it seems that alot of people out here actually do have other jobs too.
I guess your right:upsidedow

At least I was honest in the poll.

All my income comes from online.

I´m also a non porn graphic designer...

I am in this club myself. 7 years strong.

Well I just got home from my back breaking job and I gotta say Im ready to go right to work on my comp.:thumbsup

a job comes with a pay check whatever it may be, it should be rephased to vanilla job or an outside job, or another job.

Anyway
I work 15 hours a week from home for the shopping channel, 10 hours a week for sears from home via www.contrac***hange.com
40 hours a week monday to friday for www.icb.org
Then when that work day is done I guess I work maybe 40 hours a week or so on webcam, websites, and phone sex.
and school 20 hours a week

A job comes with a pay check therefore any job that comes in a pay check or direct deposit is a job and REAL because the money is real.

Your right absolutely correct in what your saying here but the term get a real job comes from way back in the day in my country when your mom told you to get off your ass and (GET A REAL JOB).

Cut your fucking hair stand in line and (GET A REAL JOB).

What ever you think of a real job believe you me Im sure those of us that work real jobs would consider easy money trust me on this kid.

Turn right afer BathtubCity , should be just there :2 cents:

all porn since 03.

worked a "real" office job for 3 years...

now I'm at university and paying (most of) my way with adult stuff

Did I do the math right? I figured that up as you having 43 hours in a 7 day period where you are not working or in school.
