Yeah, this was back in '98, I think. And those 25 cents per click were actually for blind traffic :1orglaugh

I started in 2007. Took me a couple of months. At that time I was only submitting a gallery every few days to the hun. So I submitted and then waited. Easiest money I have ever made. I am rag to riches. I came in with zero investment woot!

Rakie 03-27-2009 12:32 PM

Always nice to see how people start :)

fuzebox 03-27-2009 12:46 PM

I was pretty directionless and had no idea what a gallery, tgp, link list, whatever was... Took me a 2 months to make my first sale and almost a year to get to the point where I had at least a sale a day...

I did quit my dayjob within 2 weeks of that first sale though :winkwink: Most my income after that came from freelance programming for adult companies for a few years...

Ross 03-27-2009 12:49 PM

6 hours. Then 4 hours later I got another sale. Then nothing for 24 hours then I remember sales started rolling in. Was exciting times back in 2003. :)

kowalsky 03-27-2009 01:32 PM

I donīt remember, but it was really fast. It was in 2001, sales were quite easy then...

SarahLLO 03-27-2009 09:12 PM

Mid-2006, and it was within a day or two of getting my blog up. It was one of those $100 promo Cams.com sales, before I knew about revshare and better cams sponsors ;)

Iron Fist 03-27-2009 09:16 PM

6 years and almost there I can feel it.. this weekend might be lucky!

collegeboobies 03-27-2009 09:18 PM

I dont remember , my first sale was over 12 years ago, working on my 2nd sale now

.:R I O:. 03-28-2009 01:03 AM

hmm,depend on how big sales. I made a 0.51$ sale after sites established only 2 days. lol

Angry Jew Cat - Banned for Life 03-28-2009 01:05 AM

50 first sales..

The first sale is always the hardest. In any new niche, and especially when you're going for that genuine first ever online sale. I'd say i took in the 5-6 week area to actually make a sale when I started.

2-3 weeks .. The first sale is always the hardest - but feeling is sooooo cooooooool :D

Good luck with biz mate ;)

And yes, feel free to check my sig. I have the best ratio EVER with this guys !
thanks ;)

Raf1 03-28-2009 03:03 AM

it took me two weeks to get my first sale on tranny surprise. Back then I thought shemales would convert so I tried to go that route. Then I decided to go with what I'm into and the sales started coming in much better.

MikeSmoke 03-28-2009 04:25 AM

About half-a-day --- but this was in the late 90s :)

(And for my first paysite in 1999, I had about 30-40 sales in the first day, but it was the first-ever smoking paysite and I had a lot of people waiting for the launch :) )

OldJeff 03-28-2009 04:52 AM

About ten minutes, but I had a big advantage of several established free sites giving me a link at the moment my site went live.

Then Greenyguy set me up, said WOW, as he hit me hard.

Followed by Richard, And I said this is cool, need to start working on another site. Starting to make a few dollars here.

Then after about a week I was blessed as a "New Site" on PK's list, and I said HOLY SHIT, are there really that many people surfing internet porn :)

That was the first 2 weeks of August 1997, in the years that followed my path changed from running my own sites to working for Bob and RB (the second best decision of my life).

To those that came before me, and shared their traffic, knowledge, and friendship...

I am forever grateful.

lol.

plyndrty 03-28-2009 12:16 PM

It took me about 4 years, LOL.

Started to learn about selling adult online around 98/99 then around 02/03 I made my 2 sales to http://web.archive.org/web/200406132...asian4you.com/ from submitting a gallery to http://thehun.com

I had (and still do have) a regular job, so it took me some time to learn and make my first sale. Adult has always been a more of hobby to me than a full time job.

HandballJim 03-28-2009 01:20 PM

It took only a couple of days with a VOD site from AEBN...see my Sig. for more info. I think the 1st sale was under $5 bucks.

But thought it would be easier to make big money fast, you need to do a lot of work to be successful. If I can do things over again I would not have purchased a sick amount of domains 1st, but build one super website...do link trades, hard links, etc.

Matt 26z 03-28-2009 03:23 PM

I don't remember. I was gallery submitting without any results (had to of been 15+ galleries), so I quit. Then one day I got a surprise check in the mail and was excited enough about that to give it another go.

That kinda happened to me as well. I was only submitting to the hun started with a few galleries and stopped figuring they were not approved. Then to my surprise a few months later all my galleries were approved and I was making money. :banana

bdld 03-28-2009 05:12 PM

a real sale with a credit card? that took me over a year because at first i only pushed pay per email programs or dialers way back in the day (1999).

Loch 03-28-2009 05:13 PM

been in adult since 2000, never made a sale to a pay site !!!

sweetcuties 03-28-2009 05:16 PM

Within an hr or so, I had a yahoo group of 10,000+ back in 01... people were emailing me about joining :thumbsup

Cyber Fucker 03-28-2009 05:53 PM

there is no money in porn

TrainWreckContent 03-29-2009 07:43 PM

as far as the adult industry im still working on it.....though i am only a few weeks into it

notoldschool 03-29-2009 07:59 PM

took about a week. But i started with a paysite. The sales were easy in 03.

Rakie 03-29-2009 08:20 PM

We'll it'll be awhile till things get started. I'll put up one of those "Review my page" sites and you can all laugh at what a dumb fuck I am and how shitty the site looks, hopefully it'll get better from there :)

teg0 03-29-2009 08:26 PM

Like 3 days and I was hyped on it.

GAMEFINEST 03-29-2009 08:36 PM

Jdoughs 03-30-2009 03:30 AM

clickhappy 03-30-2009 03:35 AM

Thought I'd bump this part. Other than a historic value, this thread is entirely useless. :2 cents:
