Just Raise Your Hand, if you are a Full Time Adult Webmaster 40+hrs
 

I have been hacking away for 7 years now...

I am a full time adult webmaster.

I have never worked for a company.

My internship was a web host that made most of their money from adult web hosting back in 97-99.

I went out on my own in 99....

The best thing I got out of this deal is.................


Working from home and being their for my family.

====================================================
On another note, can't wait for my kids to take care of themselves.




PEACE

Full time since '97. Wasted almost 2 years on politics of all things, back fulltime earlier this year.

Please, expain the POLITICS.

I doubt I "work" 40 hours. But this is my full-time self-employment.

I jumped straight into this full time back in March of this year after about two years researching what I could do online to survive, and learning how to use HTML to build websites. My situation at the time meant working from home was vital.

Sometimes it's closer to 70 hours per week, depending on whatever freaky new idea I've just decided to work on, suddenly ploughing on with this amazing new venture that will probably go nowhere!
I'm sure other folks here can relate to that!
Coffee..coffee..coffee & bad moods.

I'm back to submitting freesites today after a few days of tweaking the way I do things and trying to streamline everything.
I HATE not submitting a freesite every day! Who's getting my sales?!!
|banghead|

The daily grind.

I have almost memorize all the link list rules and TGP/MGP rules there are..

I love it when new linklist or TGPs start crazy rules.
Examples... "Only the face can show on the thumbnail"
You can only have two outside links..
You can't used these sponsors...
Hha Hah Ha

Your site must be easy to navigate

Your title must be one inch from the top

You must fart and bow down...


I hate it when small tgps/linklist make stupid rules.


I have seen so many come and go.

Later

I think the + in 40+ is the key :)

Part time since 96, full time since 98, corporation since 2000 (and yes, 2 people does make for a corporation)

Part time since 2000, full time since 2002 but doubt I do 40+hrs a week more like 30-35.

-N

I was international secretary of the Green Party of Canada, I'm not anymore, through my choice. Not a big scandal or anything, everyone knows what I do for a living, some think it's cool some don't. I'm still active locally, but not putting 40 hours a week into it anymore.

When you go way back, look at a person's first domain name and add 6 or 8 months. It took that long dealing with only mainstream hosts before most decided to get one. There were no friendly hosts back in 1995.

So, I have been working in my underware fulltime since 11/5/95. First domain registered 7/11/96.

Before that, I had to share a server with 5 other large sites. When I asked about it the slowness, I was told "either live with it or leave".

I've been "40+" since Spring of '98, as VP of an adult web hosting company. I was responsible for doing all the in house web site design, among other things.

I took a lengthy hiatus from adult to tend to some family obligations. My Mom was dealing with a recurrance of cancer and needed help caring for my Grandmother.

I still do a little maintream web design, mostly custom ASP scripting, but my primary income has been adult once again since Fall of '03.

Hubby and I have been full time since September of 2000. Between the 2 of us, we spend about 70 hours a week. 45 for him, and 25 for me. I do have a family to tend to, hehe. A lot of my time is burning dvds. We have always duped our own videos, and dvds. Some weeks that in itself is hard to keep up with! |bananna|

I've been doing this fulltime for 2 years now. Some weeks it's over 40 hours some weeks less.

Full time since 2000 here |thumb

Dont' even want to think about the hours...let's just say the 40+ has a BIG PLUS |loony|

Same here with the 40 PLUS... it's always plus.
Single Dad with 2 boys living with me, and 2 more in college, so working from home was nearly mandatory a few years back.
Though I do a lot of coaching and reffing for the school here. It gets me out of the house, good excercise and I talk to other humans. (though the pay sucks if you figure it out per hour )

hehe- the brother in law of your former leader is a significantly sized porn mogul here in Mtl. :D

For me it started in late 01 but did not start putting in 40+ until about 03 when I started thinking I could make a living doing this, someday it just may happen LOL. Quit full time job 2 years ago so I can really put in the PLUS portion in adult, though lately I am back, in a part time roll, at my old job.

Where can I find the 80+ thread?

Hmmm... If I guesed the former leader's initials were JH would I be far off?
Woudn't surprise me a bit ;)

That would be him indeed :D

I was eagerly awaiting "Free porn for all" to be one of his campaign promises.

Part time since 2000 and full time since late 2002.

Jim, I am rare and bought a domain name right away. Buying domains is what a couple of friends were doing. Problem is we had no damn clue what we were doing overall and bought stupid domains instead of valuable ones. LOL

LOL! He's paranoid about stuff I shouldn't know, but do know already. We don't like each other much ;)

I just recently started doing web stuff full time. As long as I can continue to pick up work for other people until my stuff pays me enough to let me work for me exclusively, I just might be able to maintain doing this fulltime. :D

But being a full-time student, who likes to go out on weekends, sometimes it's hard to sqeeze in more then 60 hours a week, so I'm probably not as + as the rest. |loony|

I've never had a "real" job either... and I plan to keep it that way. |bananna|

Part time in 98. Full time since 99 and 40+ for sure. Though I did get burned out/lazy and took a job for a short time. Till I remembered the many reasons why I did'nt like "working" for some one else. Oldest domain, 98.

When I started in 01 I bought 2 domains, still registered, though I used freehost for awhile cause it was still allowed for about a year or so.

started to touch the adult bizz in 2001 as a hobby, went 24 hours a day after 6 months and now work about 3 hours a day, weekends off and take a holiday when ever i want, best of this bizz, i am always around for my hubby and kids!

Full time since late 1999, 40+ for sure and loving it!

I got real sick in 2001 started screwing around in mainstream to keep me busy got into adult in 2003 with a domain name that was misspelled (and I still can't spell) :D

Played with html and learning how to make sites my senior year of high school which was '98-99. After I graduated I started my first for real site and was making more than I was at my security job by October. Mind you still doing this from my parents house and their computer so I just stuck to bikini/babe sites. Then I moved out got my own place and computer in December '99 and started working all the time and getting into traffic trading and all that fun stuff. By Jan '00 I was making more money than I had ever dreamed of and quit my job in Feb. Things went awesome for over a year and a half, got married in June of '01 and 3 days after our honeymoon I came down sick with some crazy bug in my chest, had 102-104 temperature for over a month straight and eventually took me over 3 months to get completely over it. By the time I was better there was not much at all left and fell on some hard times, completely left the biz in the beginning of '02, but always trying a few things here and there and always looking for way to get back in, during these times I had a few different offline jobs. Then managed to get back into it totally full time again in May of '03. Hours per week vary a lot, this past week I have probably put in over 80 hours, and some weeks I am lucky to even look at the computer everyday. For the last year or so I have been alot better discplining myself to work more so probably put in more hours this year than in any other.

I probably don't qualify because I do put in 40+ hours a week doing this but it's not my fulltime job, atleast not yet (started out March 2006). I still teach english 10-20 hours a week, and also develop software on a freelance basis. Now if I could only get the time to start up that ebay thing... :)

Then again, if we do move to San Francisco next year as planned I might just try my luck in the Silicon Valley instead. Still, I hope I'll always have time to build and submit a freesite a day.

Well I'm doing this so I can dump my day job(60-80hr/wk) consulting, and free up time for other projects.

Basically on track to hit six-digits by the end of next year working an hour or so per day.

:D Found the intraweb in 98-99, got a domain and put a snap together porn tour on it. It got some sales, so no laughing.

Then year later doing free sites, a really nice guy called Phil talked to me on a message board, told me about avs, and adult check. GOt side tracked from frees and stuff and went the avs direction....

Money started to fall from the trees, another gold, another grand or two :D , then before u could say holy shit, I was making thousands and thousands a month.

Then quit the day job, girfriend got worried and pissed off cos I was on the pc all the time, thought the intenet was a gimmick and wouldnt last,so we split up for a period as we went our own ways.

Then Fast forward a year or so, bought a little cottage by myself, no bloody broadband, work slows down a bit, got back together with the girl, more sites, more avs, less free sites and SE stuff |banghead| |banghead|

Fast forward another year, bought a house with a view, and acres, wow, was flying high on cloud nine, built a barn on the acreage, and got married and had the reception in it! woohoo, not a care in the world, the webmastering slows down, we have a child, slows down more as I become content with the recurring money thats still coming in |banghead| |banghead|

Fast forward a couple more years, the avs dried up, recurring drops in a heap, have put all the eggs in one basket I realise, and another child is born, even LESS time working and more time playing with the kids, still some recurring coming in, so stupidly still havent seen the big picture |banghead| |banghead|

Fast forward to now, house on the market, cant give the thing away |confused| getting close to not making the mortgage payments, 2 wonderful kids and a lovely (sometimes) wife in tow, all costing a fortune to feed and cloth! working my ass off back peddling, doing stuff I should have been doing all along and reading and trying to find out any little gem that might be buried deep down inside threads |banghead|

Will keep you posted, lots of lessons learnt |banghead| |banghead| |banghead| :D

All you guys that have worked non stop for the last 7 or 8 years, every week, week in week out, you deserve to give yourself a huge fucking pat on the back, if you have kids and family, well u need a medal too )

You must be raking in thousands every week if you have continued to build over the last 7 years, I can only imagine how good that would be lol. They say its never too late though to change, and thats what I'm trying to do, come back from the dead without having to go work for walmart or kmart !

underpaid, but yes.

Full time since 96 and way more than 70hrs/week

*Raising hand* Part time since 98. Quit the full time job on April Fools day (seemed appropriate) of 2000. Most weeks are big +

I'm fulltime as well since 2001 :)

Built a here today, gone tomorrow amateur paysite with my x in 97/98. It was doing pretty well (even though I really didn't have a clue as to what I was doing) and was looking to go full time when girlfriend turned left and I turned right....

Forward to 2005 and all I am reading is about this blogging craze. Decided to try it out and am at least still here.

Not my main source of income but I do spend +40 each and every week.

20 hours a week or so here of actual work.

Part time for me and part time for JaYMan Cash equals this being my only job.

I have no idea how many hours I work.

Full time since 2000. Take the kids to school then work on line from 8:00 a.m. until around 6:00 p.m. Only a little work on the weekends 'cause the wife wants me to do "family" things. On disability so I can't and don't have to work a regular job. No real money from porn yet. Just haven't figured it out yet and no one is telling their secrets.
