Lets share some good time stories...I'll share if you do.
 

Who was the first sponsor you got your first check from?
How much was it?
And what year was it?

I will start. I made my first few checks from Xpics back in 95'.
Not much to survive on but that is when I borrowed money to Start AgeCheck. Then it took another two years to see a profit. Then we started the first free adult web hosting and everything took off from then.

What about you?

1st sponsor was econoclicks.com, my 1st check from them was 1500 bucks and that was 4 years ago in april

My first sponsor check was actually not porn related, it was web advertising affiliate programs back in 95 or 96 when i was in 9th grade

That was a great start. Congrats.

All sounds true except the 9th Grade.

how does 9th grade not sound true?

First Virtual :1orglaugh :1orglaugh What ever happen to them?

I think that was the name, that token payment system????

couple hundred bucks from adult check back in late 96, along with another check from an avs called pornopass right around the same time, for around the same amount.

I think my first check was from Sweden Teens or Swedish Teens. Not sure if they're around any more.

Because you are in tenth now and I know you have been doing this for a couple of years.

:( they keep holding me back, i was supposed to graduate class of 99 :disgust

I remember them. Like one of the first processors. 4.95 one time fee.

i cant think of any good story now lol

i just somehow miss the times where i was more relaxed and with less worries

Yup, same here. And AdultSights too.

quiet,im mailing u in a bit :)

I am trying to think if that's the name?? some kind of token system, the problem is the sale was allowed the surfer got access, and had the option of (later) accepting or declining the charge!

Wonder why they went out of business :winkwink:

Anyways, we used them and got hundereds of sales in a day, and found out we were only getting paid on like 10% of them! :( that sucked!

adultsights!! i forgot all about them, that was the other avs i was using back then. lol.

cool, no rush bro :)

I remember them. They were ahead of their time.

LOL Pre-emptive chargeback system! :1orglaugh I guess they were!

the first processor i used was interbill, starting in early 97. when they went under, they said they'd pay me all of my reserves in 6 months. i was so amazed, when 6 months later, they actually did!

i remember these guys ran their processing on a domain 'aol2.com', i wonder what happened to that lol.

THEY PAID YOU. WOW.
aol2. Damn. That's why they went bankrupt.

Is someone doing anything like this now? maybe the model makes more sense today????? I guess it's kinda like Paypal??

Where do these people go so soon. Crazy.

Good topic Dave... I've been in the industry for few years now selling content...and Raffi got me into this :thumbsup For once i trusted him and can't say anything bad about it :thumbsup Lots of great people here...

Nice thread. :)

Dimeclicks / non adult 2001
I remem.. $56 lol

Good to hear man. That guy knows his shit.

Nice, and that was the beginning.

First check was from my own pay site. 1998.

Virtual Dreams early 96 - one of the very first point-to-point video conferencing companies. I was earning $2 per minute and could get a Yahoo listing and start making $$$ in 24 - 72 hrs!

It was the logical next step from the phone sex biz.

Clay (now one of the owners of Paycom) was designing and promoting his own adult sites back then, and I asked him if he could start building sites for me that had the Virtual Dreams software available for download.

I think he charged me like $300 per site! I was selling these sites for $3500 - $7500 to my old phone sex clients and paying them $1 per minute and we were all making $$$!!!

LOL

... and this shit was ... bleeding edge - STATE OF THE MUTHAFUCKIN' ART!

:pimp

The customer would log on using 14.4 or 28.8 modems back in those days and pay something crazy like $5.99 - $7.99 per minute!

:)

It hurts to much to think about the past.
Do we have to go there?

My past is a story of nothing but lost opportunity and making everyone else rich.

Sorry buddy. But I am sure that is what made you who you are today. Right.

That's funny. Great story.

Even funnier ... I owned an "internet company" but didn't own a computer the first 3 months i was in business!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Xpics was my first big sponsor, I was sending them 100's of joins a day at one time and getting 6 figure prepays. I miss those days.

I didn't see a check from my first sponsor...so I went to the second...NaughtyAmerica (SoCalCash at the time) and it was for roughly $100 somehwere in 00-01. I got rebills on those sales for 2 years. :)

Great stories. Keep them coming.

No fricken way. That is funny.

I think it was babylon-x or mod chip :P

probably in 98
