Brief, yet long story, those who need to know the full story know it
Started my online/internet career in 1998 for a mainstream company, bounced around between a few companies as life happens until 2001
In 2001 started a blog, posting pictures and videos I found from around the net, ala peanut butter sandwiches, just like CJ and stile project. Along with this I Posted rants that pretty much only meant shit to me as I was going through a separation and divorce from my wife (the reasons for this will remain known only to those close to me) and looking for a outlet for frustration.
In the yr 2001 I joined a webmaster forum that will remain nameless due to rules of this board. The owners and members of this board know what I am speaking of. 2 members of this forum approached me privately and asked why I had no advertisements on my page, for discussion purposes lets call them Sherm and Dr Bizarro. So after listening to what was said I decided to post a email harvester for free daily porn, also known as CE Cash. As I saw money start to come in via 1.50 per email I decided to throw a add for... honestly I cant remember the site but it was a part of the TCG (
www.trafficcashgold.com) program... and while not spectacular, I made 1 sale about every 3 days and about 10 dollars a day with CE Cash. This clued me on a unknown market to me that at the time I seemed to have a semi natural knack for... traffic wise my site was doing about 300 uniques a day but was able to market the goods to whoever came to see me.
throughout the yr and in to 02 I updated this site daily with just a lil bit of shit, I did this steadily while working a full time mainstream job, revenues were steady, with just a few sign ups per period and at this time I was hosted on a free host.time goes by, I went to my 1st Internext Las Vegas show, and the 1st people I meet are Boneprone, Voodoo and Dugmor. 3 people who every time I have seen or run into, always treat me with respect and offer any advice I have a question about. Later this Day I met Sherm and Dr. Bizarro and they too have always been EXTREMELY helpful to me.
Later in this same year, the Paris Hilton sex tape hit the net, and I made a good sized sum of money in a very short period of time. This again spoke to me about the potential money online to be made. Again, off of advice sought from those 5 individuals I first met, I started to see a income that matched what I was making already doing full time mainstream work.. (at&t intranet for a call center) and the money from the paris tape, and savings I had... I decided to go full steam ahead.
I learned quickly the Juicy D Links, J $styles and D$ way of marketing... networking and getting to know those I am working with to make myself money, and making myself known. I got invited to a local Halloween party from a guy named S P A N N O W, where I of course met him, Tool Guy, Missy, Loryn, Eric (captain red eyes, tender thighs). Barry(thehatchet), Media, JFK, AaronM, Vivid Chen, JT and others. In a drunken state I told Mark that someday soon I would be working with him. If you dont know that was about half of the adult.com crew at the time, plus others. Come the next Internext show, the red rooster GFY warm up party I am introduced to Lensman and a week after the show I have interview with Adult.com and properties.
While I no longer work with Lensman and company, I do continue to hold a slight hand in the industry. The rest shall we say is history.
Brief synopsis... blah blah blah, I sale porn, blah blah blah
