well i did that well not for 7 or 8 years but since i started this bizz, only i dont earn the medal, its my hubby who earn the medal because he lett me do this bizz and he was the one who had to sleep alone in his bed and had to deal with burned food for diner because his moron wife was to busy with her adult bizz while it wasnt needed, but it paid all off, now he got me bac again in his bed and he gets an decent diner:D ....or was it the fact he told me "heay Stu...you promise me already for 4 years you gonna work less in this bizz, so start doing it or i will take your puter away"!:D

Have been earning a living online since '99 with both mainstream and adult business efforts... in and out of the adult side throughout this timeframe, and probably logging about 4-years collectively on just adult. Got back into it after a regrettable 9-10 month leave back in March of this year. It's rare that I ever put in less than 40-hours. Hoping that 2007 will be the start of focusing on only adult.

Full time. 10+ hours a day, 7 days a week.

Full time and beyond lol |virgohippy|

part time since 97... upgraded to full time in 99
2001 made an office an this year started a bit more than just on-line porn ... but it's still my favorite :-)

oh ... and why ... (as ronnie said) "I did'nt like "working" for some one else"!!! :-)

I've been fulltime for 2 years now, it's been good but I figure the big money in free porn is made by those who have been at it for 10 years or those who want to work 10 hours per day 7 days a week submitting galleries etc. Not me, I'm planning to eventually discontinue submitting and and focus more on search engines and web programming so I've been studying web development/server admin full time this year and doing BASc in IT next year. So it's back to part time for a while here...

Full time since 08/2006 and still learning the ropes... Actually I should say I'm still trying to find them ropes :D
Still very far from being able to make a living at it but working to get there. Thank G I did save when I was earning well and that should keep me warm for a while cause I'm seeing no light at the end of this tunnel yet!

It's shaky and uncertain but I'm in heaven cause I can make my own hours and I only answer to myself... |king| Not having to deal with some asshole above me has been a true life-saver!!!

Oh, and 40+++ would make it about right btw... ;)

full time since '97.... 40+ hrs.... daily |crazy|

Even in late 96 ya knew how to hide an enter link... |bow|

My start was in 96 for non-adult (bible belt childhood, cut me some slack for being slow) and 97 for adult... beats hell outta the service, eh Jim...lol...

Worked with some wonderful companies and GREAT people during that time and happy to see that all of them are still around... Since he never would read a post this long, want to say in the last 10 years, there's one person stands out above everyone I've meet and think everyone should know and work with him... and that's Bangwang/Richard Nash...







Hurry though, he's real fuckin old and no telling how little time he's got left... |jester|

FT since 2000 :) and doing over 50h/pw

I started to work online in 2000 as a software programmer.

I've jumped into the adult biz in 2004.

Since 2005 I'm working 70+ hrs a week

I'm hoping that I'll be in this category one day (it's something that I'm now putting my mind to), but presently I'm working as a consultant (programmer) for a tech firm. I wanted to get an earlier jump on this (like last year), but I've been battling an illness that has been havok with me for more than a year now. Modern medicine has finally gotten me to the point where I can finally pursue activities outside of work once again and my TGP is my first entry in force to this side of things. I'm hoping that I can learn enough from here and my TGP to really go full bore and ditch having to work for others (I'm tired of the endless b.s. that seems to go with it).

Been doing this fulltime since '04 myself. Don't think I had a week under 80 hours since. Hoping to go corporate somewhere in '07.

Part time since 1999 (avs creating), full time since 2002 |waves|

I built my first adult site and put it up in June of 1996. By the end of that year I'd quit my day job to do this full time and have done it since then. I've been doing it for over 10 years now, have had numerous employees come and go, opened an office then after a few years said "fuck it" and let everyone work from home, and have made lots of money (wish I'd've kept more of it though). At one time I owned over 1000 adult sites. Now I'm down to around 500. I personally don't work that much on the adult any more, I opened a real world business that drains alot of the adult funds that come in and alot of my time. It'd be funny if my employees in that business knew that their paychecks were covered by porn.

It's not my main income source but I think I spend 40+ hours in some days ;-)

It's interesting to see what everyone does. I started in July with absolutely know knowledge of what i was getting into, have been consistently putting in 40 hours+ a week - And holding down a fulltime "real" job. Just had a month off work and apart from a couple of weeks of travelling (and computer probs) have put 80+ hours in for last two weeks. back to work in a few hours, so it will be down again to 40.
Not really knowing what i was doing to begin with i have had to go back and redo a lot of shit that i wished i had got right in the first place.
Hopefully one day will get to the point it will bring a survivable income - but don't realistically expect that for a couple of years at least - so plenty of hours in 2007!!

my son and i moved our business online full time in 1996 and have been full time ever since :)

I wish I only worked 40 hours/week. I bet my wife wishes that too.
I also think I'm not too smart, been working online for a decade and I'm not yet a millionaire.:(

I started in 1996 and in 2001 moved 'fulltime', aside from some odd college classes I participated now and then.
