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 , 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

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

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

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

Will keep you posted, lots of lessons learnt

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 !
