how much money do you make....

softball · 01-10-2006

It really is what everyone wants to know....lol

Its anonymous so please tell the truth. The results could be interesting. I posted this poll on another board that is mainly "amateur" girl site folks and was quite surprised at how much folks earn.

So if this attempt at a poll fucks up...oh well, I tried.

JoesHO · 01-10-2006

you mean gross revenues ? or how much do I take home and use for my living expenses ?

softball · 01-10-2006

I mean what you take home after your expenses or running your business. Trips to vegas etc.....well they are fun as well, but they are an expense. So I guess they should be included. So, the net.

JoesHO · 01-10-2006

I am between 50K and 100K a year at this point and time ( net)

softball · 01-10-2006

remember you gotta answer the poll if you want to see the results....

urb · 01-10-2006

The option I need in the poll isn't there.

Winetalk.com · 01-10-2006

I am not making anything, but I borrow a lot...

voodooman · 01-10-2006

That's really gross

Sorry I had to do it
Policeman in the US are incredibly underpaid and under appreciated
At that rate how can you not do things on the side (top and bottom)?

Jace · 01-10-2006

I will bite....and I know I said I wasn't going to reply in rhetoricals threads anymore, but you do know your shit man and I have actually enjoyed reading quite a bit of the business shit you have been posting

currently I am at about $75k a year, but almost all that is going back completely into my business, so it leaves me a little broke at times (and I apologize to certain people around here for that), but with the way i have finally learned to reinvest I expect in the next few months I will be able to break away from the constant reinvesting and have a nice bit of spare change to play with. I just want to break that $100k/year mark before I go playing

I don't do as much in the porn side of things as I would like to, I really have had more luck with mainstream....We did really well for ourselves when my wife and I were in LA and doing the whole talent thing, we actually made upwards of $120k in 3 months one time, but you can't sell your soul forever, and you eventually have to fall back on something you love instead of what pays the most at the time

I love what I am doing now, and I just started working on a porn side project with a very good friend and I really hope that turns out to be something we both can be extremely proud of...so far so good

enough rambling...sorry

Good benifites, and even free donuts in most towns.

Jace · 01-10-2006

and also let me add, that at this point in my life I don't need much more than $100k/year...I live a comfortable life right now with what I make, and that extra money will just end up being blown on material shit...and as much as I love gadgets and shit, I can only have so much shit before I start looking around and wanting to break free and become a hermit in the woods

I am a simple man, an anarchist at heart, i don't require much more than the love of good friends and family, and some ice cold beer or room temperature irish whiskey

spazlabz · 01-10-2006

yeah, my half of one of our sites was $138,000. Thats what was in my pocket. You may notice that I am speaking in the past tense. I am between the 50k-100k mark now and working for someone else. The truth i know comes from making mistakes and living with the consequences

Thanks Vick, but don't do it for the $$$ though. It would be nice to
be paid for what we do, but its a fact that Cops and Military get screwed.
Benefits? They suck too, here anyways. But the job is rewarding itself, most of the time.

I agree with Vick. The people who do the truly important work in the world (cops, firemen, ambulance people, military, nurses, teachers, etc.) don't get paid squat. None of these people go into it for the money. They do what they do out of a peculiar affection for the human race.

The time I saw the "we take food stamps" in a military commissary I thought I was going to be ill.

But Kirk? You're one of the few people who can say "I made a difference today" at the end of your workday.

Sometimes this job makes you wonder though. At least when I was building adult sites I was making ALOT of peoples days errr minutes. Now, I just have people pissed off at me all the time. Oh well, last night was a fun night. Had a call of an unwanted person at a residence, went to this call and the person that called was a guy that I got into a fight with and arrested 2 weeks prior. I arrested this other person after wanting to fight with us and told the other guy that if he needed anything else, feel free to call. He looked at me with a deer in the headlights look and said, "you mean after all the shit I gave you last time you dealt with me you're still willing to help me out"? I just smiled and said, you bet, that's what I get paid for. I don't hold grudges on people for having random thoughts of stupidity, after all, we're all human, right?

"None of these people go into it for the money. They do what they do out of a peculiar affection for the human race."
I wish I believed that. I am not sure why you believe this. I have spent a good deal of my life working with lots of these folks and many, if not most do it for money as well. There is nothing wrong with that. But altruism is a close second, imho.

Especially the military. I would say the "majority" do it because it is the only way out of a hopeless situation. The minority do it for security. Then the minority of the minority do it for all the reasons you think they do it for.

Spend a night with a bunch of soldiers in a battle zone and ask the question. Hell, the Russian soldiers in Afghanistan hated their jobs, but it was all they had.
Think I am wrong?

softball · 01-12-2006

BTW, I talked to a lot of them when they returned home. Pathetic. Disillusioned. Poor as church mise. The last thing on their minds was saving the world. Just an FYI. I have a few more of those stories about different armies if you like....

Rhetorical,

You're a jackass. You wouldnt know the first thing about
putting your life on the line for a stranger. Don't open your
mouth about shit you have no clue about.
