Do you remember getting your first check in the porn business?
 

What was it for, the amount and how did you feel?

I suppose my first one would of had to of been getting a check for selling photos of my wife, via mail order, in 1977.

First Internet income check would of been from Scarlett Content when it was run by the couple in Texas. They were brokering our content. Up until then all the sales had been cash, had a great customer in Pasadena who bought images he took off slides and paid $3 to $10 each. That would of been in the 90s.

Those were the days. :1orglaugh

My first check was for $800 to $850 for 2 days of promoting clickcash by hand. First week of January, 2001.

My first check was a $45 check from CCBill...I entered the adult business exactly 6 months ago.

I'm still waiting for my first check :(

I kid i kid!! lol

$40 signed by Larry Flynt I wanted to frame it but I was broke. This was 2003ish.

First cheque for porn was from Real Sex Cash for about £27, but my first cheque from adult was some time before that, from one of the swinger sites I used to promote.

It was 2004 i think 100$, never cached. Still in the paper's box :))))) for eternity :))))

1999 ARS about $100

After it cleared I was like WTF this really is working!!!

damn cant really remember but had to be a CCBill check around 2001. can't imagine it was for more than $60 (though if it was, i was happy about that $60)

edit: nope.... first 'official' check from the biz was for when i worked for Leisure Time. payroll

:1orglaugh

three years back it was from ccbill something about 30usd ... still have it somewhere, it was like xmas then ... :)

Ccbill,dont remember when and what amount was.Before i received a lot of epass payments so i didnt bother much with receiving it.

aff, silvercash or nasty d ....

75 buck 1999 maxcash karas playground. Was submitting galleries to Tommys Bookmarks. :)

Sexkey in mid '99, my dad had to cash It since I was only 16.

It was for a little over $700 for two weeks of memberships to one site back in January 1999. I was amazed.

CE maybe.

Can't remember the amount but it was over a grand for a couple of weeks work making "collages" for my current employer Mr. Skin in 2000. They were paying me $10 per to start and I didn't even know Photoshop. That was back when we were capping using terrible programs like btvpro and vhs tapes for rare scenes and then blending 4-8 images together. I quickly learned though and started making them too fast so they had to put me on salary...haha. It's been a nice ride ever since.

My first check was in 2000. I don't remember the amount, but it was from Oxcash.

almost 2 years ago, was roughly $60 from CCBill :thumbsup

Had a few nice ones from him myself. Not that he signs them. :1orglaugh

CCbill - $37.04 for period 07/18/2004. :thumbsup

Babenet $50

Babenet in 1997 for $35...promoting mainly via newsgroups

I think it was 70-something from Phil Flash!

$35 and never cashed. Kept it and will eventually frame it.

$145... a couple months ago. Knew there would be an extra digit added in short time.

$35 TCG, when I was around 15 and still in school. Had it with me in school to show off :)

yep

was sept of 1999. was about 400.00 from streamray for my cam studio

blew the wad on the chick i was dating. :1orglaugh

Wow, good thread... just checked $23.85 (gross)

Mine was MaxCash.

The first check I ever received was from Clickcash aka iFriends, circa 1998. Back then, I was just a wee lad and that one check seemed like all the money in the world. Most people don't know that the reason iFriends is called Clickcash is because when they started, they payed $0.02 - $0.04 per click. And if my memory serves me correctly, they weren't a dating/cam site. They ran porn sites.

Ccbill - 2002 - $139.00

igallery.com and gammae.com. I don't remember the amount but I got them on the same day.

Verotel sent me my first check for promoting a site about amateurs from the Ukraine in 1998. Ibill and CCbill were next.

My first check in the adult biz was quite a while ago now, was living at home with my mom and 2 brothers back then lol. I got a check for $500 in the post. My mom asked how I made it. I just said it was junk mail not a real check lol.

Wow can't even remember how I got into adult, I used to work in mainstream and someone online said you should try adult there's good money in it, got my first check and stuck with it. Might get back into mainstream tho.

$120 from wegcash, when I got it I was laughing because I didn't believe it was real and that there was money on the INTERNET! I did get a few fedex cash envelopes before but it was 50-80 bucks each time and it was hard work for pennys

1998, $80 something from Adult Check AVS. They never approved my site and later took it down but I made that amount from one day of it being up. They did the honorable thing and sent payment for my earnings despite not approving my site.

Nope, it was stamped, haha.

My first check was for around $300 in 1996 from xpics I made a crappy site and spammed it on IRC. lol I think they were paying around 15 cents per unique.

My first "real" check was for around $30k from cecash when I figured out how to spam Altavista.

in one week: pornopass (the avs) for around 60 bucks, and another for 80 bucks from adult check in '96 while i was still in university. pp had the name on the check, i was a little embarrased to cash it lol.

never got a check but paypal after 3 days when gfy approved my account from a client to do manual submissions.

First check was from ICS, 1997?

I was stunned to see the address on the check in Livermore Calfornia, on the same little street my wife worked on. A short time later Tanker emailed me asking if I was looking for a job. Ironically, I told him there was no money in porn. (Opps.)

I remember begging ccbill to somehow cancel my first 4 checks because of the check fees are so fucking high here in hungary the cashing of them would have costed more...
i still hate checks and pick wire if no other alternative payment is available.

I believe it was in late 1996, from IEG. The check bounced.

From xpays, $150, not sure about the year...2002 maybe

I got my first check in 2000! It was from ARS, and about 1600$
I never knew about that, because I signed up and put a high minimum by mistake!
I created a page for their Webmaster Referral Program, because they paid $20 per wm signup, plus some bonus days of $50.-
I got lot of WMs sent to them in about 6 months! After I got $1.500 (minimum) they sent the check! I was amazed!! and veryyyyy happy!

1975 emptying 8MM peepshows and filling a large sack with about 75LBs of quarters.

Coin is heavy and the bag had about $2,000 in it.

In 1978-79, we were selling Swedish Erotica 30 minute loops on U-matic cartridges for $149 and couldn't keep them in stock. They came in a white box and we had to cut up the brochure and glue the movie synopsis on the box.

In 1981 opened first video rental specialty store in Austin and sold $2,000 in memberships the first day. I had all 75 or so VHS titles available in a glass counter for sale for $100 each.

$1350 from wegcash back in 2001. That's when i made the decision to work from home and haven't looked back since.....

I still have the first 2.
will frame them one day.
both less then 50 cents, but after that all was ok.
