                          Once I found a job I loved, I never worked another day in my life.

                          I love being a webmaster.

                            I came in too late for the easy money days... Still, all the hard work is paying off over time.

                                  I am working harder for more, but I have to work waaaaaaaaaaaaay harder for the same incremental increases than I did before.

                                      I'm working twice as hard for less, but once we are over these summer months, I'm sure it will get easier.

                                        2001: $USD1,000 = $AUD2,083 (more than double)
                                        2008, yesterday: $USD1,000 = $AUD1,009 (nearly at parity.)

                                        I'm not just competing with other webmasters. It hurts when you have to work harder just to make the same amount of local currency.

                                          I've been more organized over the last 2 years with daily tasks, and with strict stat overviews, I've paid attention to what aspects of the business make me the most $. I work about the same, but I seem to be making quite a bit more over the last 2 years.

                                                  I'm now starting Career #2 after adult. I have a low threshold for boredom and I'm sure I'll get bored with this new thing in a few years, lol. But back in the early days of working adult, 18 hour days weren't unheard of. Then it evened out where you could build those sites and let them go on autopilot with a little tweaking and work a lot less and make the same amount of $$$. Now the people I talk to in adult who are still in adult 100% full time tell me they are working a LOT harder to make the same amount of money. Maybe they're just telling me that make me feel good since I'm getting ready to go back to starting out all over again and probably looking at at least 16 hour days

                                                        I came in late, dabbled in adult way back in the day but didn't make much of it. Started last June and went from $0-$xxx,xxx so I guess sales are good. Managing 200+ sites is definitely not an easy task though.

                                                            I'm working harder and getting getting paid accordingly. I always try to go above and beyond.

                                                              Everyone here should be diversifying their traffic streams right now

                                                              The economy is just beginning to get bad.....we havn't even seen half of it yet.

                                                              If you thought sales were hard last month, wait till next month.

                                                              With that said....i think everyone is seeing their conversions drop slightly.

                                                              Perhaps people are making more $ today than a year ago.....but thats only because they have more traffic IMO.

                                                              JAY....i lost your icq btw, please re-send to 440-887 thanks

I weened myself from AVS, link list, free sites and TGPs to concentrate on just a few high-end blogs. I am actually making the same these days with a lot more work. In the early days I could take off for a few months and spend well over 1000 a night boozing it up. Oh well, live and learn.

                                                                  These days I am much more serious about how I run my business.

                                                                        In our country it is:
                                                                        2001 1$USD =40CZK
                                                                        2008 1$USD =14CZK (almost double of what it was in 2001)

                                                                        And that doesnt count local price increases. The USD buys you(basic living necessities, housing, traffic fares, etc.) around 20% of what it bought you in 2001 here.

                                                                        Despite that, I am working less and earning much less then in 2003-2006. After few years in adult I got simply bored as hell.

I agree in being more innovative and finding those alternative and secondary revenue streams. It is important to push the envelope and try new approaches. You have to adjust with the current economic climate.

I make stupid crazy money now. I plan on working 12 hour work days for the rest of my life just because I love to work and make money. Just can't stand to think of a dollar I may have missed somewhere. I love to start new projects and add to my shit. I find that once I get something "down" and get real efficient with it, then I can slip in something else to work on too. I still think I can squeeze out another half hour a day soon. And when I do, I'm gonna get together with JC and work on a new project.
