What's an average salary here?
 

This is the second year as I'm running my own business, and I have some goals as far as my personal income concerned. However, I'd like to know what is an average adult webmaster salary ( in USD per year ). In other words, what is that number that when you cross it - you're considered to be successful in the industry?

successful in the industry around 200-300k
avg way below that

a poster here gets aout 500-600 a month, some more

success = more money in than money out
beyond that, it's all about personal goals and comfort levels

your not gonna get an accurate average

:2 cents:

*In my best doctor evil voice*
One Meelion Dollars:)

:2 cents:

Let me re-phrase the question to maybe get a better response:

Is $200K /year ( in profits - not in revenues ) a lot around her or "OK"?

Thats more than most, and less than many.

Its also completely irrelevant.

its not a lot but its more than 99.9% of the people here make.

A buck a day, like the Dell PCs:thumbsup

Once my accountant is finished with me, I figure I'll be earning negative eighteen cents an hour.

It's more then everyone but the elite in this business

Most people here can't even get one sale a day!

yeah those are high numbers. i bet most people get like 2-3 signups per pay period. so about 10-15K. Most webmasters do this part time

10k month

You get a salary? Damn man, that must suck... I get the PROFITS from all my hard work!

1 mil dollars

The Heron,

Of course, I get a salary. My business is incorporated and I get paid as a CEO. If you're not encorporated in one way or another - you're putting yourself out there with no protection of your assets. And if you own a house or have a fat mutual fund - you may loose it all if some shit happens to you and you are in the red.

true

95 % of the ppl are making under 1k$ a month here . But the other 5-6 % are making mad bling :P

I dont think im quite making 200g's yet.. but why bother running a site if you're only making 200-300 a month? :2 cents:

I used to say "You know you're there when your tax bill pays the President's salary."

Doctor Dre, what is "mad bling"?

I am only making about $600 a month off sponsors but I have only been doing this part time for about a year.

That isnt really farfetched. But not the avg around here ;)

at least someone is honest

On average I earn about 8k a month.
Thing are very instable though...

If people here stopped posting so much they might make some money and forgot about the TGP thing.

How fucking hard can it be to sell the most popular product in history over the best selling vehicle in history?

You just need to decide if your in the business of giving porn away for free, in it for the money.

Ripping off webmasters is the biggest profit maker.

But Shhsh I did'nt say that

a successful entrepreneur only keeps a few bucks a month for himself (enough to make a living and have some fun) and invests every penny he can get his hands on back in his company or projects. Thats were REAL money comes from ;)

mrthumbs, can't agree with you more. However, I have to admit that I'm tempted every month to increase my salary instead of putting some of those extra profits back into the business. But I've been good about it. So, I'm hoping for the best.

How much do the guys earn that have just finished Harvard Business School and got a job at Wall Street?
If you earn similar amounts, but work less and in a more comfortable environment, then you are definitely succesfull.

( This is not about me, just an example that you don't have to make $250k yearly to be considered succesfull ).

You make fun of them like that wasn't you about a year ago

make a few bucks a day

$1200-$1500 a day for me.

Exactally what I am doing and it is worth it :) I have grown alot over the last few months.

Hard to say lots of Clowns on GFY just like Oracleporn who like to pimp with there Sig Money and tell Gay Stories.

Without those clowns i'd say $40-$50k a year is average wich is about $100-$150 daily

:glugglug

It wasn't :glugglug

This question probably would have been phrased better if you said "average salary for a full time 9-5 webmaster"

about $300 a day just from porn, but i got some other stuff on the side going on.

$200k/year for your second year in this business is very aggresive. Of course it would depend on how you did in the first year and what other experience you had in this business.

VideoJ, I'm not there yet, but I was wondering if it is a good goal to have?

I volunteer here

I make 30k a year off of one domain i bought for 1k in 1997 or 8...
all type in ...no costs except hosting....but you gotta have a few of those to be doing well....

you got some scary site ( www link )

What makes you think that as the owner of an incorporated company, you can't lose more than your company assets?

Why ask what the average guy here earns so you can set a target for yourself.

The avergage guy here is either a clown who likes to think he's in the porn business or, if you look at it another way, people like me who have been in porn years as our sole income.

Look at who you are and what you can offer in terms of skills, money and effort. Then remember you are coming into an industry that is crowded with wanabees. Now think about what you can earn.

You must have what the average guy here has, before you can think about earning what he does.

somehahahaha else is honest:thumbsup
