Money was second on the agenda for us. Our first website was free when we launched back in 1999.

Basically we just wanted a place to showcase our images and get them known. As the website caught on, we started to realize the revenue potential.

A nod has to go to Jimbo (here on GFY) for his pivotal role in the early days.

I made websites to let people think i was a webmaster while i whored my sig...I'm still flipping burgers at Burger king though. Just don't tell anybody.

thricer · 05-28-2007, 05:36 PM

for the money I guess...

IllTestYourGirls · 05-28-2007, 05:39 PM

I like to try to make things with nothing. So I thought, I like porn lets see if I can make some good money in a years time promoting porn on the internet with zero investment. So far the hobby is paying off nicely.

Nicky · 05-28-2007, 05:42 PM

I started on sexhare '99 so yea for me it was money. but than again im making way too little anyway

fris · 05-28-2007, 05:44 PM

i made a shitty website with no traffic, then realized i could make money acting like a webmaster posting on a forum.

BlackCrayon · 05-28-2007, 06:12 PM

I made a couple music sites for fun first in 98 then went on to making porn sites for money.

thats cool to hear

Andiz · 05-28-2007, 06:24 PM

For the money, I tried to see if I could make money on the interwebs.

Barefootsies · 05-28-2007, 06:27 PM

It started as a hobby. I did it for me.

Then in the late 90's the internet changed, and became a pay to play.

So I needed better hosting, and the bandwidth was costing me a mint. So it went membership to pay the bill. People signed up, and soon I was making a profit to fund my hobby. It grew from there.

Over time I tried a few different things here and there. Always made money. But I kept working at my telco job, and just did it on the side. After 8 years of that foolishness I decided to go it full time online, and here I am.

Making more than I was at the telco job, and working significantly less.

ukxtra · 05-28-2007, 06:32 PM

I started out after reading "How To Build A Website For Dummies"

Somehow I don't think what I made was what they had in mind

Phoenix · 05-28-2007, 06:41 PM

im only recently making sites to make money
until then..i was a sales rep only

it is fine..i make good money repping
but there is surely more money making traffic

Of course

Tho that was around around 95-96 and it would be stupid not to make websites and extend the biz.

Cardinal_Sin · 05-30-2007, 05:51 AM

Was looking on the web for some info and came across all the adult stuff - (this was 95) Searched through the adult and realised there were no niche sites that interested me, so decided to have a go at making them - Very hit and miss having to learn about all the programmes we needed, but launched our first site in May 95 and it's still going strong today.

fallenmuffin · 05-30-2007, 05:53 AM

My first sites had nothing to do with money in 98-99.. Games, coding and applications I had developed. Money didn't really take control until 2001-2002

Angelo22 · 05-30-2007, 05:56 AM

i wanted a plce on the net of my own
so i made my first site just to make a place to show its mine

minniesoporno · 05-30-2007, 06:02 AM

I got started out of curiousity, and curiousity killed the cat and satisfaction brought it back

before I knew it I had my first webmaster check for 400$. not really knowing how and how to do it again.

CurrentlySober · 05-30-2007, 07:16 AM

whats a 'website'?

suesheboy · 05-30-2007, 07:21 AM

Money money money

dynastoned · 05-30-2007, 07:28 AM

long time ago i sat on my computer for a few days straight trying to learn html with angelfires html examples. made a bunch of piece of shit pages that id show my friends so they could laugh. never really went any further then me messing around with dreamweaver everyonce in a while after that.

then i met my boy pr0 on another board he showed me the basics on how to make money by signing up for some affiliate programs and throwing a few links up. i just took off from there and have been making money online ever since.

It took me a while to realize I could make money with my sites...

The Duck · 05-30-2007, 08:26 AM

I made sites for fun back when I was 13 years old.

you never got paid? how much did they owe you?

Stephen · 05-30-2007, 10:41 AM

I began in 1994 with two sites promoting Virgin Islands travel and tourism, and was immediately profitable (the sites were advertiser supported).

Porn came later when I wanted to get away from my reliance on a local customer base.

Cyndalie · 05-30-2007, 10:43 AM

I was hired full time to become an adult webmaster (marketing) so it was swim or get fucking fired. I'm still swimming nearly 10 years later

sharp · 05-30-2007, 10:48 AM

honestly? just for fun making little notepad sites...
in around 98-99 made a cheap ass landing page to spam the fuck out of on aol. was very profitable, though

Bhunter · 05-30-2007, 11:52 AM

Started because I wanted to share my interests with others.

I've been a "webmaster" for like 10 years now. At first, I did it for the fun of it. Then, started making website for people, mainstream. Then, like 4 years ago, I found the adult industry, and made alot of money from working from home!

NTSS · 05-30-2007, 04:33 PM

Yahoo chatroom spam got me started.

I was already into mainsteam at the time and I was chatting with some chicks on Yahoo...(yeah.. so what!). All the hot chicks in the room it seemed were "bots". I figured they must be making some coin off all the fake nicks I would see so I decided check into it futher.

A few days later I got my first sale and at one point I was making $200-$400 a week. If it wasn't for Yahoo chat I wouldnt be here today.

Thanks Yahoo...I love you guys!
