When was yuor First SALE?? - Page 3

JustRobert · 2006-06-22, 11:37 AM

First sale was 2 weeks after I started about 4.5 years ago. Was doing tgp and I did not know a thing about html. Someone showed me basics about thumb crop, dreamweaver and who to submit to. After that all on my own. But it was a fun hobby at night/weekends after a mortorcycle crash left me not able to ride for awhile. Went full time couple years back. I think it was easier to get sales when I started. Not so many programs to choose from.

Like Jim, my daughter is the youngest at 18 with 2 sons being 21 & 22 both at college.

Some of my first sales were to Jim's first paysite.

Yep, there were a lot of people who's first time at making money was with Ultracash. But those were the days when it was ok to use a billing system that truly cascaded. It would try to bill through DMR, if it didn't go through, it went to Epoch, if that did go through, it went to ABM (thieves) and if that didn't work it offered checks online and then checks through the mail. All that and paying $50/free trial signup must have been sweet

We started Nov '99, went online Jan '00 first sale I hope will be in '06, just like I hoped it would be '00, '01, '02, '03, '04, '05.... sigh....

This damn T1 isn’t free and at this rate I'll never have a building at a major university named after me... just one at Vassar..... ugh!

It took me about a month to design my first Platinum AVS site. I also go a gallery listing at Tommy's the same day. That night I had a couple of sales and I was hooked.

I had my first sale in dec. last year.
That same sponsor is now my best converting sponsor.

My first sale was from either a sponsor called streetbucks or sexkey avs. Street bucks was the first sponsor I made regular sales from though. It was probably late in 99 or early in 2000.

This thread got me remembering...

I registered xstash in 2000 but I had a little network on sexplanets freehost before that. They set you up on a second level domain name and you could control the footers of all the sites you or people who signed up on with yours. Made a nice easy on/off switch for focusing traffic.

I remember my first free site. It was nothing like the format we have today. In fact it probably broke 80% of todays rules. It was free hosted, and had every thing sponsors offered all in that one site. Free content,content plugins,pic of the days, video chat links,hosted games, money bars and alot of banners. On top of all of that it was ugly as hell. Yet GG listed it. Needless to say my first sale did not come from there.

i'm reading this thread, and i'm feeling like reading porn history, very interesting

really how it started, and how people did it

i have a funny thought maybe Greenguyandjim could start something like a museum of porn, free sites and galleries

) really it would be interesting to see how free sites and gallieries look 5 years or even 8 years ago .....

Magix,
You can look at the wayback machine and find some old sites

Useless · 2006-06-24, 04:46 PM

...or you can look at some modern newbie free sites with 25 468x80 banners on the index to get a general idea of what it all looked like.
