to make heaps of moneys! HEAPS I TELL YOU!

Some of those are valid for any self employed work (freedom, new skills, the more work the more money). Those would be why are you self employed (not why you are specifically in porn)

For me:

*Good money.
*Not 9 - 5 chained to a desk.
*Learning.
*Meet interesting people.

:)

Yeah.. 3000GBP out of one scene in a month and even no sweat. Its not 2006 anymore. Phrase for sig exposure :)

I was injured at work in 1999, unable to repair the damage I was placed on permeate disability and offered social security, food stamps etc... with a child in grade school at that time $1000 a month or whatever really didn't seem like much of an option... by the end of 2000 I was down to nothing with no savings, no health ins... nothing really... the lawsuit from the work injury settled, paid out somewhere around 35k if I remember correctly...'

I emailed every porn site on the net I could find, stating that I was a photographer asking how much the sites paid for images... with a few black and white nudes scanned and attached to the email as examples of my work. at that point I had been teaching myself photography for about 2 years... shooting nudes and headshots...

however I wasn't actually a photographer... I had one Nikon F. 1, 105mm lens and 1, 58 mm lens and a set of novatron strobes... for those of you unfamiliar with cameras the Nikon F is a completely manual camera. doesn't even have a battery in it, the lenses are only manual focus.

one site answered my email, telling me the prices and explaining how to find models from ads. I would place an ad, models would stop by, I would take a polaroid, scan that image and then email the image to the site for approval on the model. if I approved I would bring the model back, shoot 'x' amount of film on the models and send the film off for processing... my first month in the 'business' I made $600...

been at it ever since... BTW we didn't shoot video back then and no agency would deal with me... the cocksuckers would hang up if I called....

Details pleez, cus i'm 43 and see no way out but work everyday.

Well I started in the biz because I went for an IT job, wasn't advertised as adult and wasn't told until my second interview.

I was straight out of college so wanted to just get a job as others struggled around me.

The niche wasn't a preference or really a choice.

However 6 years on and I'm loving my job, mainly for the company, secondly for the challenge. Oh and I guess having worked my way from bottom feeder link builder to running the sites is a key benefit for sticking around ;)

Health Insurance and tix to Staples Center events :thumbsup

I'm really good at it and I make a lot of money.

I wise woman once said if your going to do something you better do it well. Or maybe that was Albert Einstein .. hmmm

I like my job yes... its very isolating tho I think not normal and you can't talk about it..

I'm getting older tho... 42... everyone says I look 24...

I will be here for awhile.

I just went thru a midlife crisis. Now I just accept things and carry on.

I will probably live to be 110 and make a mint on an internet freak site .

Started as adult web site designer in 2006 - because the payment was times higher than those on mainstream. Then I asked the people here what to do with the things I do - and I launched a site.

Since then I got better in drawing chicks and tits.... honestly I've become better in that, but not impressive unfortunately....

I guess I'm in the biz...

- money
- new projects every day

because I am a sick motherfucker

because connecting with large breasted women who will take their tops off & bounce their boobs for me is the best job i could dream up.

Interesting comments in this thread - everyone has differant (but similar) reasons for being in Adult. :)

Everything you said, plus, I have no choice ;)

1997: 20 cents per blind click. The rest is history :thumbsup

(I'm not in porn anymore, but damn those years were a good ride! :thumbsup )

Awesome! :thumbsup

I'm not a pornographer, I'm a marketer.

Because many people use bad word about the porn..it's a world/business free.

These are the reasons why I work in the adult industry:

#1. Good money.
#2. Flexible work schedule
#3. Shooting my own content
#4. Expressing my creativity (web design, photography, shooting videos ....etc.)
#5. Working and hanging out with the models
#6. Networking with other webmasters/affiliates that work in the same industry.
#7. Am an avid lover of porn myself, and always have been.

I need to support my high protein diet and workout regimen.

Good food and gym equipment is expensive.

Beacause Julia Ann works in porn...this is the reason :)

Most certainly ...

not sure what porn is. i sell adult entertainment

well, after i had to go in invalidity pension ( i am 26 now ) because of an autoimmune disease that destroys my body slowly i needed an extra income to pay my bills.
And because i have to take morphin and opiats against the pain i was looking for a job that i could do from home and without physical activity... That was is how i got to the business... ;)
