Is your BF/GF in the biz with you?
 

I'm thinking of letting my wife work with me, though I do like it when she is at HER work and I get the house to myself. Working together may be more of a pain, but we could make A LOT more together.

Since she's your wife - I'm not sure,
if anyone is thinking of letting their girlfriend help out and work together, my advice - don't do that, ever (at least not fulltime, if she has a job or does something else on the side and just helps you out occasionally that's fine)..
Me and my gf have relationship crisis every now and then because of too-much-time spent together and whatnot reasons (sometimes I feel like she's getting greedy and wants me to give her a larger cut just because we're together etc.. lots of unneeded crap..)
If you care about her - don't do that.

My bitch works as a post whore right now. I should really teach her more though

Yes, my husband is also in this bussiness.
That gives us more mutual themes to talk about.

my girlfriend is in and so is her sister ;)

You're completely talking out of personal experience ... and I have to say ... MY personal experience is the opposute :)

I work FULL TIME with my girlfriend and we both love what we do ... and have no problems working together.

We work together and it works fine. One thing though..... our office is NOT at home. We made a rule out of NOT working together at home. We have our office and i still have another job as a pilot flying private jets. We used to do our internet ventures at home besides my job as a pilot but it just put to much weight on our relationship. Now i still fly, less then i used to, just enough to keep my license but the most important thing is that we never work together anymore at home. It may seem as a useless rule but it helped us in many ways in regard of working together and still not feeling like it consumes our relationship.

Conclusion: you can work together but you need somekind of buffer.

Hell yeah, 9 years now. It's a great scenario.

No. The girlfriend and I work separately. She knows enough about what I do to be interested, and to talk about it whenever she feels like it though. Her knowing a bit about the adult biz makes it so it's not like we're from two different planets when talking about work. The other side of it is that it's not all we can talk about work-wise, since she's in a completely different business. Keeps things fresh.

yes and it works fine

Any one else?

Yes, my husband and I work together. My advice is HIRE SOMEONE! You want someone to do things YOUR way, right?

it;s all depends on both parties' characters...if both are optimistic about everything...it should be able to work out....

my wife does some research jobs for me but for most of the time i am on my own...

That's a very simplistic answer. The fact is, having a family member as an employee or business partner can create even more friction than, say, dating someone at your job.
It can be done, but it probably isn't the best way to go about things.

I was thinking about giving her a site to run of her own. I would help her out to get started.

My girlfriend works in the industry with me.. she runs an erotic fiction website

Its nice... she gets all worked up all day reading and writing sex stories :)

I am in the process of teaching my significant other to submit... It's rather difficult cause we fight so much. And plus the other person is a rather slow learner and not taking direction very well. They don't like to listen to what I say and are always questioning what I say or saying I don't explain it good enough, or am explaining too fast, etc. Sometimes I think their totally out of it. I taught this person how to submit already last year and they did it for around a month, I'm just getting them started again.

But anyways, I can GUARANTEE that if this person listens to me they will make a few grand a month at worst. There is no way they can fail if they listen to me. I cannot guarantee they can make what I do, but it's guaranteed they will make something. Even so, we're constantly fighting so much that this person is not getting too much done. It will get better though I hope.

This person is not working right now and too unstable to get a real-world job, so this is the only way I can get this person to start making some dough and stop leeching off of me because it's driving me up the wall. I don't expect anything in return, I just want this person to make their own money and pay their own bills and be stable, that will be enough for me.

This person I am teaching is always asking WHY you do this, or HOW this works. It's like it doesn't matter. If you follow what I say it will work. It's like a math problem, you use a formula and it works. You don't need to know WHY you use this formula. Just follow the fucken formula. Jesus

It's not nuclear science, It's very simple. This person wanted me actually draw them a diagram, like of us, and then of the internet, and the gallery, and where we submit it too, and where the traffic comes from... kind of like a flow chart. I mean, this person is VERY internet savvy, their not a newb on the net. It's not really a hard concept to grasp, you know, like WE'RE the affiliates and we PROMOTE sponsors. Their asking me stuff like "who's the affiliate? Is "sponsor name here" an affiliate?" Just stuff like that. It just bugs me

She was and now she edits college text books. What a switch ey?

I have twice brought live-in girlfriends into the business to "help out". One went apeshit and hit CE Cash checks without cashing them for a year (thanks CE for paying me anyway!), and the other simply "hated hated hated it" some time later.

Broke up with them both. Never again.

Are you the psycho chick who spies on all her boyfriends and worries that they're all cheating on you?

hit = hid

Psycho bitches anyway. :mad:

No, my lady wants nothing to do with my work. And thats fine with me.

My wifes in the biz with me, and my mom wants a job.

It's good to have gf/wife for work beacuse then you can get free work.Work or no sex for you hehe

my gf is currently NOT working for me, but I have work for her if she wants..

Nope, she doesn't do any of this work...

I totally agree....my gf and i split up an hour ago, been together 18 months, I work from home, she didnt have a job, we were in each others face 24/7, no matter how good your relationship is, you need some time alone and some space.

yes my husband and I work together, we started our sites together when we started dating 4 years ago. It works out well.

Why don't you just hire someone?

my lady friends aren't but the watch alot or porn

and my mom knows Im i do porn work

No, I like to keep my wife separate from my work. No need to mix the two.

My hubby and I have a condom distribution biz together and we've been working from our home office side-by-side quite successfully for the past two years. We also have day jobs and our own separate side businesses too, so we don't live identical lives, and that makes everything so much easier.

hell, no.....

kick his fucking ass out already! youre the same with the face spitting etc etc etc and youre still with 'that person'??? are your crazy?

my wife and I have been working in this business since I first got into it. She is a valueable asset and her opinion has helped me out many times. I say you should bring her in and being in the same room with each other all day long is kind of nice :)


spaz

My old lady.. well she's not old, she 22 helps me on the side sometime with design work and what not... but I agree.. working togather all the time has its ups and downs.. yes you have more to talk about business wise, but your always togather.. and I think everyone needs a little time a part to keep a relationship going smooth.

You just broke up?!!

My husband is my partner; we've been doing this together since 1999. It's a great setup.

that's a great idea...
at least, my bf is always at my sight...

:thumbsup :thumbsup

:1orglaugh I'm in school now so give me another 3-4 years and i'll be making more then you can spend!!!!!!!!!! And i'm wating for you to teach me more, have been for the last year:disgust

my girl friend is not doing anything to help out :(

my fiance is also in the business, but we work on seperate shifts. :) i'm working in the early morning, he's working late at night. :)

My wife works from home, but we have seperate offices.

Excellent idea!

Me and hubby are both in this business, we of course have our site which we make content for, plus some projects we work on together, and some projects we work on separately.

Works fine for us! Sitting opposite each other at our computers all day might sound boring to some, but it's the perfect setup for us. I'd say go for it.

I like to run my sites MY WAY, so I can't let her help me with those. But if she has a site of her own to run, then she can also learn what it takes to start a site from scratch.

Teach her to do things the way you like them and it's all good.. my hubby and I have been a team for 8+ years and Iw ouldn't have it any other way. :)

I work with my boyfriend. Well, sort of, he's obviously the other talent on my paysite but I'm trying to teach him affiliate stuff but he just annoys me because I have NO patience. So for now he's just editing videos :)

I dont currently have a bf, but my ex would kill me if he even knew about the work i do, good job hes an EX lol.......................................
