I had my first adult site in 1998 on some free hosting. The earliest site i can find on archive.org is Jan 99 but I know i started before that with no domain on a free host but I can't think of what the url was anymore. So i bought my first domain in November 1998 and took the site from the free host to janeys. It was a celeb site. I would update it once a week and make a new banner once a week with whoever was hot at the moment and the sales would roll in from that one banner mostly. Eventually getting listed in search engines for various celebs and in the yahoo directory and traffic was booming.
I owe it all to some guy who called himself Drew Star. I was using his free hosting for a music site I did for fun and he sent an email saying how much he was making off Adult Check with his ref link so I thought that would be a hell of a lot better than working a shit job in a factory for 9 bucks an hour.
By 2004-2005 it wasn't so easy anymore and I didn't have the motivation to work on it as much so i started doing other things and now, I don't make any money from adult sites (still had some money trickling in from old ccbill stuff and other random sites but decided to cancel the hosting since I was spending more on hosting than I was making).Today I'm still working online full time doing my own thing making six figs a year. Had I done things differently I would of been wealthy a long time ago but I was only 20 years old back in 1998 and didn't take it seriously enough.
