Before the internet thing I was a Madam that did way too much free bassing. I got clean and went on to produced monthly swinger/escort magazines. I also started doing Mac computer consulting around this time.

Found Netpond right after Nick got it, learned a bit about this business. For some odd reason Greenguy has always been really good to me and has helped me a lot he also got me started in the link list business.

These days most of my sales come from my own LL and I still try to build and submit something new each day to help keep the traffic flowing.

Last summer a tranny who I have known for many years and lives up the street from my stopped by asking if I could help her with her site. This has worked out far better then I could have ever imagined and has really increased my income so now I also run a tranny site for my neighbor up the street.

Anthony 01-17-2005 02:46 PM

I'm good with people.

Alexa is your friend......I'm not interested in it for the traffic obviously...feel free to PM if you have a number in mind that isn't GFY'esque.

If not, that's cool and good luck with the site.

Looking through the 'resumes' of other people is very interesting. I think mine is reaaaaally simple.

2000 - 2004 : Worked for Greg Lasrado as a Graphic Designer, SEO Team Manager, Webmaster Support, Member Support, Dog Feeder, and Coffee Bringer .... in that order pretty much.

2004 - 2005 : Graphic Designer for Juicybucks.com nowadays, Plus have put 4 years experience into my OWN stuff such as SEO Sites, TGP Sites, YugSTAR Comic for Adult Internet Industry, and running my own web dev company (Designbycode).

How was working for GL , reports vary? ;-)))

TheEnforcer 01-18-2005 03:54 PM

Lets see...

Got into the biz by using some loan money to buy a turnkey paysite in like 1998 or 99. Within my first few months I got top 10 listings in Alta Vista, Hotbot, Lycos, and other se's for phrases like free sex, sex pictures and various other incredible keywords and made good money with the paysite as well as a killing on exits to MaxCash and True Cash. Thought this was all too easy. Then some fucktard spammed the SE's and took all the sopts from at least 1-100 or more and the se's got pissed and changed the algorithm and it was never quite the same after that. :cryin:

Did free sites, TGP posting and stuff for a while and then hooked up with D-man and helped him run his TGP for a while. Went to New Orleans show and helped him promote his resource site. Met some good people and got to be good friends with Timbo and Sykkboy when I was there. that show is what convinced me that the people in this biz are great to be around.

About that time statred work for a PPS program for a while before moving into mainstream area for the guy I had met and worked with on the PPS program.

Was still doing some adult and looking into possibly making a push to start my own program when my marriage fell apart in the beginning of I do believe 2001. Adult side of business fell apart though I still stayed active on the boards because there are some great people in this biz and drifted from project to project in mainstream not really giving a shit about how things were going. Finally had to move for a number of reasons about a year and a half or so ago.

Worked for my good friend Timbo at Adult Paymaster for the better part of last year while also doing mainstream stuff. Parted on good terms and heartily suggest his program to people, as he's a stand-up guy and his sites will make you money.


Still doing some mainstream stuff and hopefully have a program launching soon as an opportunity kind of fell in my lap as well as some other possibilites being looked into.

Very .... eye opening. Working there towards the end was like walking into an episode of Twin Peaks every day. Some stuff you'd be hard pressed to believe if I told you. Not all the stories that went around were true, but not all of them were false either.

VooMan 01-19-2005 12:57 PM

I have an interesting resume, so I'll jump in as well...

Late 80's I worked as an accountant in New York City. It didn't take me long to realize that majoring in accounting was fine, but working as an accountant sucked bigtime.

Early 90's, you name it I did it. My dad was quite ill at the time, and my mother and I took care of him. I worked nights delivering newspapers, drove a van at JFK airport, and basically did all kinds of shit jobs until my dad passed away...

In 1994 my mother and I decided we wanted to get out of New York, so we moved to Pennsylvania. I wasn't sure about the move, but I wanted to stick by my mother and make sure someone was closeby to her. I had always had an interest in woodworking, so I got a job working in a cabinet shop. I loved the work, but the pay was horrible and the coworkers were a bunch of idiots most of the time. I learned a lot though, and the knowledge comes in handy...

In January 97 I bought a PC. I surfed the free porn and whenever I saw a link that said "webmasters click here to make money" I clicked! hahaha Had my first website online in March of 97 and I was probably THE most clueless webmaster in history. I didn't know how to ftp, or copy and paste for that matter... but I kept going and finally got the ball rolling. I had a bunch of free sites and some nice Yahoo listings, and I always banked everything I made figuring "this could never last."

I 99 I met Sweet T of NationalNet and we hit it off. He offered me a job and I have been here ever since. :okthumb:

We had the top 40 results for sex on excite at one time. Didn't mean to though. No one needs that kind of visibility in such a game.

I made my first money on that 24 hour turnaround from Lycos.

Red 01-19-2005 01:48 PM

ok, mine's pretty long.

I actually got into the porn business back in '79. I was a girl in a glass booth that men talked to for $1 a minute. I made great money for a job that consisted of masturbating for 8 hours a day.

Then I got married and started writing. My novel is still unfinished, but I began writing short erotic stories. Then started writing for adult men's mags. I actually wrote the "I never thought your letters were true till this happened to me" letters.

Got my first computer in 1997 and built a free site to showcase my stories. I had no idea about making money, I just wanted the fame. But I gradually learned about the adult business and my work became noticed. Meanwhile I was doing the usual galleries, free sites, AVS etc.

1999 was hired by Lensman to be the copywriter for Amateur Pages.

2001 - Left Adult.com to start my own adult copywriting service called Eroticopy.
I did that for a while, until everyone and their grandmother started doing it and undercut me, so I just kept my good clients and wrote upon request.

2002- semi-retired from the biz and went back to school. Earned a degree in pharmacy technology. Worked for a while and then taught while still doing adult, part-time.

2004 Met up with the people I'm now in partnership with and began planning for our new project.

2005- launched Depraved Dollars.

And that's where I am now.
