![]() Did you have a game plan beyond just making some money?
Depending on who you talk to, some wanted the following... 1. Work in Porn Industry because "it's Cool". 2. Make Better Money than You Could in the Real World. 3. Freedom to Be Your Own Boss. 4. Be the Bill Gates of Porn (innovation/riches). 5. Simply Fell Into It by Screwing Around Online,Led to Affiliate,.. Program, etc.. The point being, did you have a plan, or did you simply follow the money? ![]() |

1. Never considered whether anything I have done "is cool".
2. Less motivated by money than by being happy with what i'm doing. 3. Own boss doesn't matter - I can work quite well under pressure from someone else too. 4. Not sure i'd want the negative attention Bill Gates gets. 5. Yep. Did a lot of reading first rather than diving in blind though.

When I first started working in the industry I was a few months shy of turning 19. I didn't have a game plan, I wasn't looking that far ahead. I was attracted to the dark side because knew there was potential to make bigger bucks than I could make elsewhere, and to be honest, as a young punk rock kid I knew it was an industry where I wouldn't be as scrutinized for my appearance.

I had a plan since the beginning, but things changed rapidly and I had to change paths, so I pretty much followed the money after that. It's been a great ride so far and wouldn't trade it for anything!

No plan, I just wanted to make money on my own so I could quit my dayjob... Tried a half dozen things and porn is the only one that stuck.

When I started in this industry I didn't know a damn thing. I just figured that it couldn't hurt to try something different and learn something new.

When I started, I was just messing around trying to improve my skill set by learning some html as the whole internet was fairly new, found an article about porn, found porncity free host and made a 10pic tgp gallery with 2 Kara's Playground banners and submitted it anywhere I could find.
That gallery made me like $450 and it was on like DonkeyKong! ![]()

![]() For me it was more about 'freedom'. Both creatively, and realistically.
I made good money in telco, and was already working online part time making a decent $X,XXX with a few hours after work. However, I am a creative person who simply does not work well being micromanaged in corporate America. |

When I started I just wanted something to make some extra money. I loved my job at the time, but it soon became a chore to go to work knowing I could sit home and make twice as much. So...I built my first sites and galleries and Yahoo groups from Work, getting paid to work on my own shit. I managed to do that for almost a year before they caught on...
At that point I was without a job and and needed to come up with an actual plan. |

I was sick and tired of looking at TGP's with wrong galleries in all the categories. So I decided I would make the ultimate TGP with real galleries in each category. Never knew how hard it would be to run a TGP and maintain it to my quality standards. Gave up on that when I learned you could make money submitting galleries. Went on to build galleries and was sure to submit them to the right categories. So I did my part to solve the problem I seen in the online adult biz.
I don't submit galleries anymore. |

I was an REO (foreclosure) agent that was running 16 hours a day. After my third to last surgery in '08 I no longer had the energy I did before but got bored lying around so here I am.
Shot some porn in '02 but the group of us had issues back then ... in short was part of the entourage of a rich guy who started a porn company but we partied more than anything. Profit was never a motivator; having fun was. First online business was loan lead generation. My partners worked directly with a bunch of banks and we'd post non-exclusive leads directly to their servers and then invoice them and get paid. That dried up and they now do the same thing for bankruptcy lawyers but I'm not around for that. I didn't make much because they provided the relationships and platform but I had to do everything else. I was working full-time at the time and was barely making enough to support myself so there wasn't much left over to invest in the business. They made and are making a killing though. I never have a plan until after I start something and it works. I'm one of those throw it against the wall and see if it sticks types. Throw enough and something will stick. I rely a lot on intuition and luck and it seems to work well enough for me. I wanted to be in this industry since I was 16, which was the mid-90's. I cannot help but to think how much I could have done if I started when I wanted to. |

I got into the biz because I thought it would be a fun way to make a living... it has not disappointed. I did not enjoy getting up and getting ready and then going to work around people I didn't like in order to earn a buck. Most people I have met in this industry is very easy to spend time with.

back in the early 90s I was experimenting with photoshop on Macs when that part of professional stripping and publishing started the early transition from old style stripping and layout, and did a lot of promo stuff for strippers and progressed from there, we then were starting to do some design work for the web with mainstream when it was still in the Mosaic days and had no clue what we were working with at the time..... cd's and "multimedia" on cd's was the supposed big thing at the time and a lot of energy was wasted on those

I had just graduated from college with my little compute tech degree, only to discover in the last six months the dot com bubble had burst and there was no computer jobs in California. That's when an "online friend of mine" who had worked with me on a few "picture sites" offered me a job - Steve Lightspeed.
In all honestly, I liked what I saw when I flew out to meet him person to person. But I really thought it would be a temp job, six months or so, to establish myself outside of California where the cost of living was high and into Phoenix where the cost of living was lower. I had no idea this was going to be a full time gig.

I got into it because i was in need of resources; so i decided to satisfy one of the people's basic needs.
And i had a simple plan: to offer people my 'product' through YouTube and search engines. |
