				How did you get into this biz?
			 I'm sure this was posted a gazillion times, but still - tell about how you got into the biz and why.  As for me, was looking for a new job. I've been working in the mainstream affiliate arena for a while by that time, saw an web project manager position. Applied. Voila, that web project turned to be a huge porn site. Although right now I'm doing 30% adult work and 70% mainstream projects. Reason - family. My wife comes first, and I felt that working fulltime in the adult biz kind of messed up our relationship. What's your story? |

				 | Quite my job in sales after doing it for 2 years after college. Took a break and then went on Craigslist where I found a Affiliate Manager Postion here at Moviedollars. I thought to myself "I like porn, I like money, and I like computers. So why the fuck not?" Now here I am and couldn't be happier. |

				 | I got into this biz out of necessity really. The company I used to work as a mechanic closed/relocated so I was out of work. After fitting display kitchens in DIY shops with my uncle for a month and then doing nothing for a few months after that I decided I needed to make some money. I was always on my computer even when I did not work online and I got reading a few articles and stuff about making a living in the adult biz. So I decided to go for it. I had zero money behind me starting out, just enough for a domain name and some cheap 5 buck hosting. Never looked back.

				 | Was laid off by a dot com start up and took a month off to clear my head.  Another month of disappointing interviews and offers and a friend mentioned an adult company that was hiring.   I interviewed the very next day, it's been almost 8 years and I am still with TrafficCashGold

				 | Hmmm, My story is a bit odd:-) I bought my first computer -94, got connected and realized that whatever searchengine I used I ended up looking at porn, even though I did a search for whatever. I got a bit pissed of since there where no sites for women, so I decided to learn photoshop and html. I did and I made a free site full of half naked men and when that site had been up for about a month I was contacted by a photographer working in Thailand. He liked my graphic skills and threw me the idea of opening a paysite together. Back in those days we charged $25 per YEAR......... The site was fine but we decided to part and here I am today. Running another Asian site, Thaichix.com since over 8 years. A swedish blond, at the moment in the south of Spain running an asian paysite............ Life is strange *hugs and kisses*

				 | I started subcontracting for the person I was dating as a writer because it payed better than what I was doing.  Then I got into modeling and learned some graphic design work too.  I can go on vacation when I want, go to work naked, take my lunch break when I want, and bring my dog to work.... who can beat that?!

				 | i was sufring PersianKitty in 95'ish and saw her counter blowing up when i refreshed.. thought that was so cool she had control over so many ppl's attention....  so i rigged up a site on my aol account, even used some porn banners cuz i thought to 'get sponsored' meant you were doing really well.. ie nike would only sponsor a site that had weight to pull... so my first banners went to someone else.... next thing i knew i found BobX who had a server and was a programmer... we made a deal to team up.. me the idea man, him the programmer/magaician...  we ended up meeting up with FantasyMan, he signed us both and the rest, was historrryyyyyyyyyyyyy

				 | I clicked a "Webmasters..." link on a pay site many years ago. Started a TGP, it was a complete failure, I didn't know shit about trades etc   I was disappointed, quit adult for a year or two, then I got back and started with SE's and freesites and blogs... never looked back!

				 | Brief, yet long story, those who need to know the full story know it Started my online/internet career in 1998 for a mainstream company, bounced around between a few companies as life happens until 2001 In 2001 started a blog, posting pictures and videos I found from around the net, ala peanut butter sandwiches, just like CJ and stile project. Along with this I Posted rants that pretty much only meant shit to me as I was going through a separation and divorce from my wife (the reasons for this will remain known only to those close to me) and looking for a outlet for frustration. In the yr 2001 I joined a webmaster forum that will remain nameless due to rules of this board. The owners and members of this board know what I am speaking of. 2 members of this forum approached me privately and asked why I had no advertisements on my page, for discussion purposes lets call them Sherm and Dr Bizarro. So after listening to what was said I decided to post a email harvester for free daily porn, also known as CE Cash. As I saw money start to come in via 1.50 per email I decided to throw a add for... honestly I cant remember the site but it was a part of the TCG (www.trafficcashgold.com) program... and while not spectacular, I made 1 sale about every 3 days and about 10 dollars a day with CE Cash. This clued me on a unknown market to me that at the time I seemed to have a semi natural knack for... traffic wise my site was doing about 300 uniques a day but was able to market the goods to whoever came to see me. throughout the yr and in to 02 I updated this site daily with just a lil bit of shit, I did this steadily while working a full time mainstream job, revenues were steady, with just a few sign ups per period and at this time I was hosted on a free host.time goes by, I went to my 1st Internext Las Vegas show, and the 1st people I meet are Boneprone, Voodoo and Dugmor. 3 people who every time I have seen or run into, always treat me with respect and offer any advice I have a question about. Later this Day I met Sherm and Dr. Bizarro and they too have always been EXTREMELY helpful to me. Later in this same year, the Paris Hilton sex tape hit the net, and I made a good sized sum of money in a very short period of time. This again spoke to me about the potential money online to be made. Again, off of advice sought from those 5 individuals I first met, I started to see a income that matched what I was making already doing full time mainstream work.. (at&t intranet for a call center) and the money from the paris tape, and savings I had... I decided to go full steam ahead. I learned quickly the Juicy D Links, J $styles and D$ way of marketing... networking and getting to know those I am working with to make myself money, and making myself known. I got invited to a local Halloween party from a guy named S P A N N O W, where I of course met him, Tool Guy, Missy, Loryn, Eric (captain red eyes, tender thighs). Barry(thehatchet), Media, JFK, AaronM, Vivid Chen, JT and others. In a drunken state I told Mark that someday soon I would be working with him. If you dont know that was about half of the adult.com crew at the time, plus others. Come the next Internext show, the red rooster GFY warm up party I am introduced to Lensman and a week after the show I have interview with Adult.com and properties. While I no longer work with Lensman and company, I do continue to hold a slight hand in the industry. The rest shall we say is history. Brief synopsis... blah blah blah, I sale porn, blah blah blah

				 | I was 17 and noticed that every time I found a good site to wank to it had a little "webmaster" link at the bottom. I wondered what the fuck was a webmaster, clicked it and realized I could get paid from other people wanking. My first geocities porn site is actually still up. Anyway, I joined the army soon after and forgot all about it. One day in 2006 (close to my discharge date) I was arguing with my wife about what we were going to do now that the army gravy train was almost over. Instead of telling her to go fuck herself I decided to type it into my browser. I found this wonderful place and decided I would get back into the web shit. I got in late and it has been hard, but it's coming along. |

				 | Dropped out of college cuz I knew more than my teachers and I ended up teaching the whole class what that had to learn on shit that I've taught myself from when I was at the age of about 9/10 years old when I first got the net.  Never realized the actual profitable gain that could be made until after working a couple of dead end jobs and also an apprenticeship in the engineering industry. |

				 | I was working for Pepsi back in 95 when I bought my first computer. Didn't know how to even put it together without instructions and hadn't typed since 10th grade.  After a few months, I became a chat host for the MSN chat network and one of the people I met showed me his porn page and said he made a couple hundred bucks/month with it so I thought, "why not toss up a page and see what happens". This was easier said than done however because I didn't know how to build a website - but I had thousands of images I'd collected as a surfer. YNOT was just gaining momentum and I'd found it from visiting Persian Kitty's website. I posted and found out that I couldn't use those images so I bought the same 3 cd's from ZMaster that everyone else owned! Through YNOT, I met up with Jonathan and Michelle and they took me under their wing. Through their kindness and alot of very very long hours viewing the source pages to teach myself how websites were built I became pretty good at making sites and learning the business. I ran Sexysites (the actual first adult freehost) for Jonathan and Michelle and took it up to over 1 million uniques back when that was a shitload of traffic. I also took on managing XXX Counter and that was doing very well when it was sold to SexTracker. Joe and Michelle moved so I went with the web properties and began working with FCI. That in itself is a book so suffice it to say I left FCI and began consulting work with a few other counters that were starting up as well as designing value added services for many of the top webmaster programs. This is about the time I came up with Intelliware (which you all now refer to as spyware). I sold 51% interest in the company to some people I'll not name and it was shared with others, who shared it with others and the wildfire you all know now blazed out of control. It was about this time that I moved toward mainstream where I designed and built custom software until 2007 when Persian Kitty and I decided to build a webmaster program that is unlike anything around (soon to be released btw) as well as currently launching the most kick ass, revenue sharing, self thread mod featured, ignore features that'll make you drool, webmaster board on the net today. And tomorrow is going to be a pretty good day  |
