I was working for Pepsi back in 95 when I bought my first computer. Didn't know how to even put it together without instructions and hadn't typed since 10th grade.
After a few months, I became a chat host for the MSN chat network and one of the people I met showed me his porn page and said he made a couple hundred bucks/month with it so I thought, "why not toss up a page and see what happens".
This was easier said than done however because I didn't know how to build a website - but I had thousands of images I'd collected as a surfer. YNOT was just gaining momentum and I'd found it from visiting Persian Kitty's website. I posted and found out that I couldn't use those images so I bought the same 3 cd's from ZMaster that everyone else owned!
Through YNOT, I met up with Jonathan and Michelle and they took me under their wing. Through their kindness and alot of very very long hours viewing the source pages to teach myself how websites were built I became pretty good at making sites and learning the business.
I ran Sexysites (the actual first adult freehost) for Jonathan and Michelle and took it up to over 1 million uniques back when that was a shitload of traffic.
I also took on managing XXX Counter and that was doing very well when it was sold to SexTracker. Joe and Michelle moved so I went with the web properties and began working with FCI. That in itself is a book so suffice it to say I left FCI and began consulting work with a few other counters that were starting up as well as designing value added services for many of the top webmaster programs.
This is about the time I came up with Intelliware (which you all now refer to as spyware). I sold 51% interest in the company to some people I'll not name and it was shared with others, who shared it with others and the wildfire you all know now blazed out of control.
It was about this time that I moved toward mainstream where I designed and built custom software until 2007 when Persian Kitty and I decided to build a webmaster program that is unlike anything around (soon to be released btw) as well as currently launching the most kick ass, revenue sharing, self thread mod featured, ignore features that'll make you drool, webmaster board on the net today.
And tomorrow is going to be a pretty good day
