Hell I was in the club business for 8 years an always wonderd how to get into this business and sadly enough I got into this business by a turnkey adult website business that ripped me off an took me for a decient amount of money...What they did was sell me a domain name and site made up op affilliate programs (which are free to sign up for anyway) charged me 75 bucks a month to host it...

I had no control or knowelege of anything they basicly created a main page with navigation buttons to other pages I couldent exchange links or even change content.. Then the more I read an participaed on two boards MP and this One I started to learn I realized I got ripped off and started my own thing ..

I would love to do this fulltime and plan to...but bills gotta get paid an the cat gotta get fed..My first show will be internext just 15 minuets from me an I hope to learn alot

Dial it back about 10 years and I am right there with you. I was a welder for International Truck & Engine (aka International Navistar/International Harvester)
I got into adult not knowing a fucking scrap, 10 years later it pays my bills, allows me to spend lots of time with my family and I have met some truly incredible people.

I never considered myself a webmaster though, not even when I was making sick money with my own paysites.. to me the term webmaster has a very specific definition and I can only think of 1 or 2 people in this industry who fit that definition.

To me a webmaster is anyone who runs and maintains a successful website. It seems the term has lately come to mean traffic movers.

You hit the nail on the head Big Daddy ...Sure you can promote a site by sending traffic and ect....

But to Actually build a successful site from scratch learn all the technical things then actually getting in there and learning the business and putting it all togeather now thats a webMASTER to me
