why did you join this biz?

My wife made our first site for fun with some bondage pics of herself which I took one night when she was drunk. It was on Angelfire and got shut down; when we moved to paid hosting and got a domain name, I convinced her to put up an AVS to help with the hosting bill (and to keep children out). That's how we learned you could make money at it.

After some time and investment, I became frustrated that while she made excellent sites, the traffic just wasn't coming. I studied the business and built some AVS sites, free sites and a links list.

I had fun doing it. The links list is now defunct, but my first AVS site is still up and still making money. I wish I'd gone into it full-time a long time ago.
