Memory Lane: What was your first sale? When? Sponsor? Traffic Type? Amount? Ratio?
 

[cue up the sentimental music]
My first sale was from my own paysite in 1997 made entirely of "public domain" images and fed entirely from toplist traffic.... :1orglaugh It was for $9.95 through iBill. Don't remember the ratio.

After a few months I decided I'd better focus on my mainstream career and I walked away from several years of insane profit potential.
:(


After that I came back as an affiliate and the first sale was Lightspeed University from a TGP listing on the Hun... about 1:300


What about you?
:glugglug

I have no idea. It's 8+ years ago.

xpics... $0.25 per click... ahhhhhhhhhh

When I was 10 I found some Playboy magazines and I sold them to my friends in school. That was the first time I sold porn.

Awww come on... First Kiss, First Fuck, First Sale - its all burned in the brain for LIFE man! :)

It was Insiteadult!! I remember shitting my pants the first time I met JohnIP :) Speaking of which... wonder what happened? Did I clean them out?

I think it was Maxcash for $35. As I recall, I was promoting Karas Adult, but the join was for Teen X off a console..
Traffic was from a link list, Tommy's or Greenguys most likely.
The same week had one or two at ARS, but I think technically the Maxcash one was first.
1999. No idea of ratio.. but those first sites are still live on the same domain and the same host. I dont change my shit once it's done if it's been submitted :thumbsup

Raw Like Sushi made me some nice money back in '99

I think I made a grand one month with a 20k TGP. :thumbsup

Then their rules got stricter about the text links, and then they were gone. I was so sad.

Nothing is quite as satisfying as making sales off of shit you built years and years ago. :thumbsup

Yeah true :)

Sucks about the new 2257 stuff though. I'm seriously considering pulling all my sexually explicit content rather than deal with it frankly. If I need to do that, I have a ton of emails to send out to link lists and tgp's..

January 2001. Ifriends and I was hooked. Still my main sponsor.

First sale of the week was $10! then. Now it's 4 times that.

Site: BangBus

Traffic: TGP

Just got my first sale for a Topbucks site. Came from my third AVS site (the first one I used recips and submitted to linklists). I've been doing this maybe a month, but that site just went up on the 19th. My ratio was 1:10 at that time. Beginner's luck, but I'm an equal opportunity affiliate. :)

Xpics in the 18 cents per click days
mainly usenet spam and linklist traffic\First check was just over $5, then I started making good money

I also left to pursue mainstream riches, an came back to adult....

maximumcash, I got a signup for their TeenSteam site. It was some crappy aol traffic.
