13 Years In Adult
 

This recent maxcash thread https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1029291 reminded me that I signed for maxcash (my 1st affiliate program) July 1998.

So this month marks my 13th year in biz. Crazy how quick time flies.

Thanks everyone, especially AdultFriendFinder and I hope to have another 13 years.

Thanks for the kind words everyone :thumbsup

Congrats :winkwink:

13? damn! congrats :thumbsup

congrats :)

Congrats on 13 Meloman!!! What is your most memorable moment, industry related?

Besides meeting you? , lol.

Really too many to mention and most I prolly can't publicly, lol.

I'd say probably the best moment was receiving my 1st 5 figure monthly check. I was only 23 or 24 and was completely stunned this was possible.
2nd was receiving my 1st 6 figure monthly check, lol.

But as far as parties and such, some industry friends and I joke that we invented "making it rain" in clubs, lol. Ah to be 23/24 again (i'm 36 now), lol.

It's been one hell of a ride and I hope it never ends :winkwink:

Congrats Bro.

I started in 98 too. First checks from Ibill and AdultCheck that year.

My 1st site was an AdultCheck site full of banners for Maxcash and others. I very quickly weeded out who converted, who didn't and who shaved, LOL.

Maxcash QUICKLY won and the rest is history. In fact I remember my 1st sale. It was from a Pamela Anderson full page ad for Karasxxx. You know after you typed in the password for adultcheck and you could present a full page add with a link at the very bottom saying "no thanks, let me into sitename.com". That kicked but back in the day.

WegCash was my next big sponsor and I did very well with them. Thanks Jason and crew.

I only wish it didn't take me till 2005 to promote AdultFriendFinder. And now being on the inside I see how truly awesome this program is. I should have put AFF ads up back in 98, lol.

damn 13 years... we need more old schoolers like you... and less of these young affilaites that don't knwo the game

here's to 13 more

Congrats, Meloman! Thanks for everything you've taught me and continue to teach me. You ROCK, man!!

You're still a young buck:) I missed those days when folks were practically printing money in their sleep just by having links up. Glad you made it this far and as Dirty Danza puts it, Here's to 13 more!:drinkup

I just hit 13 years in the biz about 6 months ago. Maxcash wasn't my first sponsor but close. One of my first 5 anyway.

Congrats on your 13. It's been a helluva ride hasn't it?

Congratulations!

You are the man. 13 years? Amazing time!

Even knowing that, there always some people trying to say that it is impossible to make a good income with porn because "the industry is dead".

Seriously, it is hard to stay at the same job for thirteen months these days, and this guy is working with the same thing for thirteen years!

I'm shamed now but I have to say that I get started a few months ago. I work with the internet (mainstream) since 2004 and only now I decide to join into the adult world.

I have a question:

Based on your experience, what can generate more income to you these days? Paysites, games, softwares, social networks (like aff), cams, sex toys, dvds, VOD, supplements, etc.?

Thanks in advance.

I hate you... I'm 26 now, I better live it up while I can. I still look good but will be full out bald by the time I'm your age. Damn too, well done at a young age.

I wish I had gotten my head out of my ass and realized to push hard in adult earlier. So many mistakes I've made...... sigh...

Congratulations, more to you in the future.

Maxcash was one of my first affiliate programs too

All of the above still make money. It's just about getting traffic to your product / ads period. Start off with affiliate advertising any/all of the above and build a traffic source up. Some traffic will convert some things better than others so find traffic, test what works and go from there.

impressive... 13 years is quite some time... :thumbsup

Hell yeah man, congrats i guess.
