Default Who sent you your FIRST check in this biz?

How did you earn your first check in the internet porn industry and who did it come from?

Mine was as a web designer for Intergal ...

What/when was yours?

the-one-and-only.com - dating site. Smart marketing too. The check had a letter telling me how many people never make one penny on the web.

I think they are gone or swallowed up by another "Legendary" traffic shaving dating site.

Shit. I'm pretty sure it was Max Cash but it very well might have been True Cash as I received two big checks from them both about the same time. Got a shitload of top 10 spots in the se's for various sex and free sex related terms and had them in exit consoles on every page of my paysite!! :>)))

Somewhere in early 1997, Fast Cash from Cybererotica.

It was such easy money then.

Put up a page with a handful of naked pics, slap some banners on it and watch big checks show up.

This was when I figured I could make a little money on the side while practicing law. 4 months later, I realized there was a lot more out there...

If only I knew then, what I know now.

CyberErotica. I was working for them at the time and had just got my own domains. Sent all my traffic to them. I think the first check was about $700 which was more than I had put into the biz by then

I love how ignorant we all were back then ... when everybody was learning. 10 years ago might not be long in evolution, but the technologies we've been involved with, designed, invented, perfected, broken etc have changed the way the world operates.

In 50 years, we won't remember the details ... just that we were all pioneers in the way the world communicates.

That I will agree with for sure. There are several of you that defined niches as well as business practices. How many times in your life do you get to do that?

Of course we will have to know where we are going. I spent 2 hours in a cab with Ms Bunny on my lap as the driver drove around in circles.

What/when was yours?

I received two the same day -- one from Fantasyman (I forget what it was - ten or fifteen cents a click), and the other from Serge's Clicks. A couple of days later I got one from XPics (oy).

I got my first check from Cybererotica - like $50 or something - but I got my first REAL check for over $500 from MaxCash... that's when the lightbulb went off in my head telling me that this was definitely something I should stick with. lol
