I was young and pretty, so they tricked me into it.


J/K :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Liked Porn Duh

Souds familliar!

I did.

I was thinking about it a lot for a few years (before going 18) then started a 19. Now I'm 20.

Maybe a guide made me start or something. Not sure. Probly cozy.

Hmm.. spent a few years writing embedded firewall software... decided I needed something a bit more entertaining...

well ,I was looking at affiliate programs (mainstream), somehow ended up at an adult board and here I am :)

Nice, keep the stories coming

Traveling around the country installing mug shot software, and I HATE cops. Needed something way different.

i did.
i searched something on the net (can't even remember what it was... something linux related) and somehow found gfy... the domain name was so weird, that i had to look arround... then i saw someone posting his stats - since then i am hooked :D

Mainstream affiliate programs payout a lot less.

Does 1996 count?

I was hired at AFF and then a few years later i was approached to be webmaster of FLiXXXS.com and we just launched...

see ya in Vegas!

Wow, seems like a few here got into adult through GFY?? GFY seems to have had a big effect.

i got SERIOUS about it in the last year but I've been fucking around for a few

Thats cool...how did you get into adult?

you know how it is. A few drinks, some kind words and BAM you're in adult

I was looking to earn a few extra bucks for fun, Doctor Dre saw what I could do with video and said I'd be one of the bes Adult Editors in the bizz if I started out... here I am 3 months later and have yet to find a rival.

Been in mainstream nearly 10 years and this last year got serious about adult. Its been very good to me.

10 years in mainstream, I assume not mainstream internet?

That would be..... me.

I got into it trying to make some extra money. So far, nada. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Nothing. No extra money. Not one sale.

It happened because Tala is my roommate. She is always talking about GFY and the adult industry. I thought I would give it a try. So far, not working out. Trying, but you aparently have to have a ton of cash to put INTO it to get anything out. I don't have that money. So, best I can do is hope and keep working on one of the sites I still have.

Oh well.

You do great stuff man :thumbsup

Yes I have been making non-adult web sites for 10 years.

I don't know who told you that you need a ton of money to make money in this but they're wrong. You need SOME money for hosting/domains but that's it. Running paysites....well....that's an entirely different story

hit me up and I'll help you get on your way :winkwink:

A friend brought me into this business...

Started on my birthday last yesr officially, jan 3. settin up a booth at internext on my b day sucked, but it was a great year.

had some experience with mainstream promotion and adult has more options and pays more, do this parttime, not surehow you can live on it, nice extra cash, it is what you make.

Was in the non-nude business, dropped out because my models were bitches, became a surfer. Looking for Arika Ames pics one night, found GFY. Read about this new invention (lol) called a "blog"...thought hey, no dealing with models...I can do that.

That was a few months ago...now back in the actual adult business, getting ready (with a partner) to launch a pay site the beginning of the year. Yeah, more dealing with models...I'm stupid.

Still trying to fit in to this biz.

Ah.. It's got a name - the "Adult Industry"? I can tell my friends what I do now.

Why is there a lot of dirty pics around???

adult what

Industry apparently.

Prob means big people can be in it... like adults. When I grow up I'll learn to post messages on boards like this and have a real job in the "adult industry".

this adult industry is interesting
i wish to subscribe

Traffic Gigolos hired me in April. Though I have a history in online marketing, they're the first real company to employ me. Worked my way up from just doing grunt work, to now managing all aspects of the program and sites.

They've treated me very well. I have big plans to help take this company to the next level in the upcoming year. Keep your eyes on Traffic Gigolos. :)

:1orglaugh

Dunno about you ytcracker, but apparently I been in the "adult industry" for decades before the net.

One nice thing about the net is ya can operate from a base anywhere in the world you choose - major feature!! :winkwink:

I found a link to GFY on a surfer board when the whole thing with Lara Roxx and Darren James broke out (hence my registration date).

Then saw some threads by Dugmor and was quite surprised. Apparently I wasn't the only one with a twisted mind, there's a whole board of people like me.

They were bashing GFY on that surfer board saying that it's full of immature morons etc etc... well here I am year and a half later, still surfin high! :winkwink:

I did run one of the bigger adult surfer forums back in 2001 but was stupid enough to stop it when faced with a minor b/w difficulty.

Immature morons eh? Dunno what makes people think like that.

I applied and knew very little, actually i did not even wanted to go at first.... then i did and in a few months, i was involved in multiple projects...

Adult industry, LoL, that is what it is called, ain't it? You fuckers :)

Yep, thats GFY for you. Haha

I met a guy named David Ramos about 7 years ago while I was stationed in Georgia. About 3 years passed and David and I decided to go to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. When we walked into the 737 club (playboy), we saw a guy with some crazy beads around his neck and when we asked him where he got them he said "I work in the adult industry and my company is shooting". His name was Eric Matis and he lived in my hometown of Sacramento. Realizing that I would get out of the military soon and would probably head back to Cali, we exchanged numbers and when I got back to Cali, I called him up. Eric and I continued to be friends while David was going to college in Georgia. When he graduated, he came out here to live with his best friends and work in the porn biz....are you fucking kidding me...let me say that again....come to California to hang out with your best friends and work in the porn industry. David introduced me to the industry and I have been doing it for a living since April.


Twinks for Life!!

I finished up college in '03 and worked for a couple professional sports teams. My job ended with one season and I needed to pay my student loans, car insurance, etc. but finding a job in professional sports was proving to be mighty hard. I saw an opportunity in adult and took it. I figured I knew as much about porn as I did about sports. I'm doing the same thing in adult as I would in sports- PR and marketing, so I'm enjoying myself.

a friend of mine who i don't want to mention, sent me a pics of his epass electron card, which was hosted on his server... so i've found out he's in this biz... we kept talking and he suggested me to start with this... this is the story...

almost the same story here nettrust, a friend encourage me to try in this biz.

So are you metaformX or what?

I just turned 18 and this guy with a camera promissed me fancy cars and nice houses if i bent over :(

Damn that is a good story! Small world after all.

hmm. :disgust

i was tricked into it... nice girls, nice people, nice money... :D
