"newbies" earning a living with pr0n?
 

There's no money with porn... I know, I know.

Many people probably won't want to say how much they take home, but I'm interested in people who started from scratch less than 1-2 years ago who are now able to live off their earnings.

I wonder because I'm clearly a newb too but I'm also an impatient one with a fair amount of ambition and I just want to make sure I'm not getting to ahead of myself with all these financial and time investments. Anything good takes time - but I feel like I'm hoping for the best, too much.

So yeah, if you don't mind sharing your story and possible timeline that would be great and very useful for many I'm sure.

Cheers :thumbsup

anyone can make a living in porn if you apply yourself :)

There's no money with porn.

you would think someone who sells webmaster scripts geared towards adult webmasters, that they would want new webmasters =/ just my opinion.....

Well said :thumbsup

it can be done, if you work hard enough

only hard work.... everything is paying off if you work too hard....

My advice is to perpetually save 3-5 months of income you have made for future living needs as there are great sales months and bad sales months. Also pay off all your debts/cc's before you buy pimp shit.

If you work hard enough you will make $$

The key is having big traffic and money will come when you will sleep.

it's possible with hard work. I still don't know what I'm doing but I know I'm doing all right :D

I started Oct 16, 2005.. almost one year. I'm making enough to live... I'm a full time webmaster

i would say the future if very uncertain. Theres is no security in this business.

I also believe it takes some skill and understanding. So success will vary. The more you understand the internet, its protocols and its CULTURE the better you will do

i started 6 minths ago and make more money than i ever have, but ive also been using the internet for 9 years :\

I've been hacking away at website design and improving myself since the age of 11... so 11 years ago or so. I should mention my other career is running and managing a 4 team web design & development company.

I'm mostly peddling webcam porn because I feel that's the next best thing.

say a prayer!

The day I make good money while I sleep, is the day I'm buying sig spots and putting my GF's tits in them! LOL

There really is no money in porn for newbies anymore.

there is no money in pr0n!

never heard someone say that before!

try mainstream...leave adult ;)

Adult is the easy way out. I would love if my income was primarily mainstream but the numbers are so much bigger in Adult

Kinda trying to opposite right now - but still doing mainstream, gotta pay the bills.

If you can invest $1 and make $1.50, you're doing it right. Now invest $1000 and make $1500 and so forth.

yeah, that's what I'm aiming a... profit is profit you just need to make it push it at a larger scale.

make enough to pay the bills

you gotta be original, thats all i have for advice.

Yeah I agree. To many new people getting in line doing the same facken thing one after another. That's kinda why I dropped my MGP site - too many and 98% of them are all the same.

I took a break from adult.. And basically started from scratch again in jan this year,, Pretty close now to 5 figure months..

Newbies can make money in anything. Heck, you can make money building cars if you put your mind (and a ton of money) to it.

The current combined shave / toolbar code changing / lost cookies / 100 year cookies / cookie switching issues make it harder and harder to make the major dollars on just galleries and free sites, which is where most people come through. You almost have to vertical your market and build your own paysite and promote it via your own stuff as a way to make true income at this point.

I was about to post that I am doing ok after 2 years, then I realized it's been 3 :helpme

Took me almost 2 years to get to the point where I could live 100% off affiliate comissions, but I was lazy and unorganized. With hard work and focus you can get there a lot quicker than I did.

Zen, help me?! :)

Fuze, that's what I wanna hear! hehe

I figured with my internet background experience and being able to work 16-17 hour days, I should be able to make SOMETHING happen soon - but I'm still learning everything.

pr0ns are big shrimp arent they?

Started a little over 3.5 years ago and made enough to live off of and keep growing every year. Granted that first year was a real bitch and I still work a ton of hours.

Best of luck to you man.

Work hard + dont waste your time on saturated programs...

Pick a niche. Something you're interested in and work the shit out of it.

sorry...not yet...

only way you'll make a dime in this biz is if you get on your knees in front of a camera and do the dirty work yourself

In the last two years Ive made enough money to buy another vehicle, a new home, take two beautiful summer trips, keep my family and I fed clothed and bills paid. Of course online work is just like offline work, its a daily hard grind that never stops with long hours. If you are lazy, porn will not make you much money at all.

I dont know why but that phrase is hilarious :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I started part time 2 years ago and been fulltime for 1yr now.
And I'm definately making more with porn than with my previous job as computer security consultant. (won't give numbers, but it's enough to support a family of 5 and pay the mortgage :-) )

Good to hear, and that's what counts: having enough to pay the bills...twice over :)

I have invested almost everything I have made from this biz back in my adult projects... So havent been too much profit! But it is nice to see things grow!

Yeah, but it'd be easier to make a living selling pencils.
