So I'm determined to get ask a few questions to webmasters who are in a similar situtaion to I, or to those who are already full time at this. Okay...
1. What was your monthly adult income when you made the switch?
2. How many hours per day do you work?
3. Does the biz put great strain on family or social life?
4. How long had you been in the biz before making the switch to full time?
5. And finally... did you relocate when you made the switch, or did you remain in your current location?
6. Did you/do you keep a part time job, such as flippin' burgers?
Share your stories!!! Thanks!

OK... I guess I am a bit of a different situation than you are in. I have never known any different than working for myself on the net. I started when I was 21 (in 1997) and still at college and also doing sport professionally. I actually started in online gambling but also had a few adult sites on the side. I sold out of the gambling biz in 1999 and after much deliberation, I went at porn full-time about 18 months ago (after starting a failed dot com venture!)
So with that background in mind, I can only answer a few of your questions, but I thought I might help out:
1. NA
2. Anywhere from 3 to 10. I am at the lower end of the scale. I tend to use my day going from computer - going out - computer - watching TV - computer - spending time with my wife - computer - etc etc etc.
3. Not really. I am not sure entirely what you mean by this question, but I take to it mean that what does your family and friends think of you peddling porn. If thats the case, they are all fine with it. My only issue is that I have my 1st child coming into the world early next year and I hope daddys job doesnt imact him at all.
Oh, and if you mean does the time spent at the computer affect family and friends... Well yes it does a little bit... my main reason for this is because i am addicted to checking my stats!
4. NA
5. No relocation. I am not sure why you would want to relocate?
6. No, althought a part time job would come in handy when strangers ask "So [insert name here]... what do you do for a living?" I normally find myself bumbling around saying I am into internet marketing or an internet consultant.
I hope I was of some help!
