2ooo .::. and I almost lost my job because of it
 

Well, here it is.

Yay.

You wanted to quit, didn't you?

Yes, but I can't/won't.

quit bitch

Are you my daddy?

im black so no..quit your day job

Seriously, though, you guys gotta quit making this sound so cut and fucking dry.

I cannot rely on anyone else but myself to make that $$

So I gotta keep with it.

Kill your boss and take over the company. Make it look like an accident.

seriously, if I can do it..anyone can do it. Picture this scenario:

You work for a major record label with employees under you depending on your every word uttered from your mouth.Literally what you do can make or break you a artist. You sneak around doing porn sites after work and even checking traffic during office hours. To cover up your tracks you delete cookies,server logs,and anything else that can trace you back as the source.One day work pisses you off to the point of no return, your scared but you also know your sanity means more than the money your making so you walk off the job on the spot...your happiness and health means more than the money you are making there..so seriously make yourself happy and hustle harder,good things come to the studious ones

How do you delete server logs?

j/k

Seriously, though, man, I feel ya, and believe me, if geting my degree was'nt so important, I'd have treated this job like any other; just up and split when I could'nt stand it anymore.

Fact is, though, since I'm putting myself through school, and the ride's not over, yet, I have to keep this up until adult can provide at least 6 months of steady compensation that exceeds what I make here at work.

Just has'nt happened yet, and I'm gaining a lot of weight and losing a lot of money while I'm waiting, too.:1orglaugh

I have a degree and look where I landed! :) seriously get your schooling to have something to fall back on but maybe you need to look harder at maximizing your bottom line instead of goofing off.I would rather do this for 16 hours a day than be a corporate bitch for 8 hours a day....

seriously if you want to maxamize your bottom line hit me on icq 33176397. If you want to be freed from the Office Space maybe I can help :)

Please, elaborate...

oh, ok, I will do so in about 3 and a half hours when i get off, and I should be on your contact list already, BTW.

and thanks.

If you work a 40hr week x $9/hr = $360/week x 4 = $1440/mth?

That is barely anything. You could be at home spending your time building something that is going to make you money in the long term and do some tgping etc now.

If you were to quit today and neve did this biz before you could start and make $1440 in 30 days.

Something doesn't add up bro - what are you doing now to make money in this biz?

I used to think this was possible.

What am I doing? Obviously not the right thing.

And about 1500 a month is what I'm pulling in, you are correct. It's nothing.

You know what, I feel like I keep bitching about this same thing every weekend I have to work overnights. While I spend damn near 80 hours a week working at home on my own computer instead of whoring. I sleep about 4 hours, and then wake up to visions of what I can add, or change, or manipulate to make it go faster/ do better.

Maybe I'm just not cut out for the industry. I dunno, but it's getting kind of uncomfortable to lay this shit out in the open.

80hrs/week? Holy shit I'd be a millionaire.


I did clock some serious hours in the beginning but if you are spending that much time you should be make 3-4 times that at least.

So what are you doing to make money?

Tgping, avsing, LL freesites, toplists?

How much traffic (uniques) are you getting each day and from where mainly?

I too left my job for porn. I was making good money scrubbing up after politicians. Fucking shitty job, but it payed really fuckign well. I got so fed up with their shit that I was starting to lose it. It's pretty bad when you dream every night for a month about murdering your boss on his front lawn in front of his wife because he accused you of doing something that you have proof another employee did it yet refuses to take ya seriously because yer young. Not to mention the person who actualy did this shit was trying to get me fired. I was there before my boss even got into the cleaning biz... I could go on and on for 3 hours about everything those two assholes did to me.... That is STRESS!. I had enough, figured I'd rather live off the odd sale from porn than live comfortable and miserable. SO I left with 1 hour notice. Took me 2 months to get my head straight.. got help form my doctor and now I am 100 percent back on track and SANE.

I am starting to get close to what I was making while working a 'normal' job and the prospect for making double that are in my reach.

Hybrid, hold on as long as you can and leave when you have had enough, but make sure you have some type of backup plan in the adult biz that can get you through with necessities if you already arent making that much off it. But look at it this way, no dayjob = 8 more hours spent marketing and building = more $$$$$

You can only do so much with the time you have. 4 hours of sleep per night is NOT enough to be thinking straight and making decisions that would maximize your bottom line. If/when you leave your job you will have time to sleep, socialise and build your adult biz to bigger and more productive things. When I was working full time and doing this on the side I was making 4 sales per month. I was miserable. It's still not a get rich overnight setup for me yet but it is building damn fast.

Your current situation is not cut out for this industry nor any home based biz. You basicaly have no life... no offence man, your a ncice guy... but imagine only having to do porn all day, being able to say 'fuck it' and go out for the night and not worry about having time to do up adult biz related shit and workign the next day at the office.

People who don;t have day jobs stressing them out can build faster with less hours worked than ppl with 4 hours of sleep and a full time day job and working 80 hours per week in teh adult biz at home.


Don't feel uncomfortable about laying this all out. Nothign wrong with being frustrated and looking for help.

When I first realized what the $ potential was I sometimes didn't sleep at all...

This isn't rocket science. If you can design half decent the rest is simply getting traffic by working consistently.

The 'working' part is mindless data entry at best usually :)

I'm sure many people can attest to submitting a tgp gallery at 4:30am with only 1 eye open still...

:2 cents:

Oh I've been there

You've been getting some good advice here that you really need to seriously consider taking.

However, taking that step out the door can be seriously frightening. Can you really survive without a regular guaranteed income?

Well you might be able to do both, step out the door and have a steady income till you have your own business humming along.

There are people around here and on other boards offering jobs all the time. Look for one of those and even if you don't really need it to survive those sort of jobs can be great because they can teach you important lessons about parts of the industry that you may not know much about.

Hybrid - hit me up via email attached to the site in my sig - I might have something for you.

that is actualy a great idea.
