I remember back in 2001, I was making easy money with solo amateur girl sites on an AVS. I wish I would have had the hindsight to do some other things, like get the fuck out of the AVS and into my own program. Back then there were already major TPG sites in play and I really had no idea how to compete with those guys. (no submitter programs then) Not to mention the mechanics of setting everything up, managing a server and paying for bandwidth. It's easy now to be critical of decisions made back then with what people know now. For instance, I never even gave webcams a thought back then. I'm not even sure I had an ISP that could handle it. Making thousands of dollars a week, I was even getting shaved every 5th sale and rebill (found this out later). Thought it would never end. $6000 a month and you have to work 40 hrs a week to do wasn't worth it then when there was other ways to make large money. There wasn't any AVN show or webmaster hulabaloos back then, it was every man for himself. Really like the wild west. A lot of you new guys and girls don't realize what those days were like.
