How did you get started in the industry?
 

I kind of fell here.

by accident!

976-TITS

Seriously :glugglug

Some friends did it, they did it to be cool, and I started doing it to make money.........

one day my phone rang and it was Python


the rest is history:thumbsup

came to GFY where i met Redshoe.....the rest, as they say, is history :thumbsup

I was doing mainstream webwork until the whole blue chip thing fell apart at the seams and I found myself out of work pretty quick.

Started posting at GFY

Got some biz connections, learned a lot, read all the guides here.

BOOM.

And the rest is history :glugglug

there ya go..i like those stories

from the bottom up:thumbsup

Friend worked for xpics showed me huge check through up site and made shit tons from xpics....ahhh the memories....

I started with wildcat BBS back in 91. When the web got a little more popular i started my own company BJSquared Inc. Somewhere around 95 i started making AVS sites and I've been doing online adult entertainment ever since.

I was into porn, I posted at messageboards and a guy in the biz told me I should do this..

At first I looked at it as "Beer Money" but then it became my full-time job fast.

Funny story. The first time I met Lightspeed I told him I use to be a Tawnee Stone member (for like 6mos).. So I use to give Steve $35 a month and now he writes out checks close to a grand a month ($939 this month) to me.. Gotta love Porn!

I started working for a Polish sponsor

I owned a computer game company but was bored and looking at porn anyway.
So I started with one site and made shitloads of money pretty fase.
From there I never looked back.

Talked to someone in a chat room years ago actually. :1orglaugh

My mother in law:1orglaugh

I joined busty-amateurs back in 99 and 00 and I said I can do that... a few mths later, I opened my first site. Rest is history

Nice

A lawyer fucked me over on my H1-B visa application.
So there I was sitting with a $1300 rent and $0 in my account, what to do, what to do?

I sold frozen meat from the back of a van for one day and promised I would never degrade myself to that kinda shit again :1orglaugh

I tried som other weird shit too and then I remembered a friend of mine that had ut up some porn banners and made money of it. That's how I got started :)

late night genetics lab sessions + unlimited access to high speed internet back in 94/95, resulted in me learning html and a little bit about unix. that was the beginning i guess.

The Green Vest Mafia kidnapped me :Graucho

:Graucho :Graucho :Graucho

i used to work at an outsourcing company...that's how i got in to the adult industry.:)

Ahh.. sweet revenge on a boyfriend addicted to porn =)

It all began when I was 12 years old and I saw my first porno. It was "Nurses of the 4077th".

I would search for truly weird stuff on the search engines and I'd end up on cloaked/spam pages. It didn't seem to involve too much work or extraordinary skills, so I gave it a shot. :)

on my knees....j/k

Same for me! :thumbsup

Sold LikeWhoa a gigabit pipe when I worked at Verio in 2001.

Year later I was working there with them when Verio tanked and most of the staff was cut.

LikeWhoa tanked and I went out on my own wandering around the net and here we are today.

interesting, what education have you got if I may ask?

wtf? I didn't know GFY was an industry

Well thank you very much. Tanker and Seth were the ones that got me started. Lensman was my first spam. If he didn't spam me, I wouldn't have found GFY.

Thanks for being a spammer, Lens. :)



(Sorry I just found Lane's search tool and I'm going to be catching up on what I missed out on. Thanks Lane.)

Web design, mainstream dot bomb = adult web boom!

Adult?

Got caught masturbating by the right people.

unsure exactly how, but i met Mark (Doot) somewhere on the net and he kinda took me under his wing and shown me the ropes... thanks a million bro:thumbsup

was in some movies.

That's how I started. Those were great checks & days hey.

yea man that was a good site
back in the day..
