Might have been Maxcash, or ARS, Flashcash, or even Oliver Klozov for all I know. I added more than a dozen programs my first year in, any one of them could have been the one that sent that first check. Hard to recall more details on it, as that first one wasn't all that big, maybe thirty-five bucks. But all the ones that followed, ahh, now those were memorable.

It's the journey I remember most though; link trading with Slick and Minte, submitting to Tommy's, Greenguy's, PK's, Snake'sworld, theHun, Shemp, Thumbzilla, ELEPHANTLIST, Dr Bizarro, hundreds of others. The late 90's. Great times, insane money.

Great thread BTW. Refreshing change from politics.

I felt guilty given his wife's situation but I was young and needed the money. :D

:love2suck

My first check was from ICS - From Lensman.

Oddly enough, when I got the check I looked at the address and it was just a few blocks away in Livermore, California.... In fact, it was a few doors down from where my wife worked at the time. A short time later Tanker, who worked at ICS at the time, contacted me and offered me a job at ICS. Ironically I told him "There is no money to be made i porn". Four years later we hired Tanker to work at Lightspeed Cash, and of course years later I ended up as General Manager of ICS when Playboy bought them out.

No. It took me a while to remember too. My first was Adult Check, then I made a few more sites but used iBill. Ah, the good old' days...

Don't recall for sure. But maybe Anders at NetBabes or from Terry at Tropixxx.

Soul Cash, the check was for $11 and change.

You sound like you'd be an interesting person to sit next to on an airplane.

As Adam Carolla said, "you either want to be sitting by someone either incredibly rich, or incredibly poor, not in-between."

Seems like you've spent time in both sectors. :love2suck

Globosale took my first money

the first i actually received was a CCBill check from FTV Girls

Traffic Cash Gold sent me a check in '03 after I'd submitted a gallery on a lark to a few TGPs.

Probally adult check maybe sexkey

Was promoting Mario Carmona's Xpics sites. 0,25/unique ... :thumbsup

From the first live camshow I broadcast and that I billed a customer for in 2002 ...
I paid the camgirl 60% I think ...

Sorry but that's not how you get into the Mile High Club. Nice try tho.

:pimp

My first money in adult was promoting Tawnee Stone (LightSpeed Cash), sending galleries to TheHun. My very first check was for about $250 bucks. Good times...

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Clever way to twist my words.

Anyway, clips4sale were our first ROI. Then CCbill. Now it's just me.

I've started building up blogs and will doing other work. I have plans to make myself relevant.

LOL.... I remember you!

By selling ads on XBIZ.com and in XBIZ World

Started submitting galleries made a few sales, stopped the gallery stuff and just built lots of TGPs and then blogs.

Hmm, ouch.

(unless I misread it)

In Adult? I think it was back in the days, submitting galleries using Chameleon Submitter :)

I started in main stream, the first check was $31, which I could not cash out because my bank charged $25 processing fees...!

Still have it, kept it as a memoir ;-)

Mine was shooting a video!

Yeah missed that one. LOL Drama?

Roald?

I shot this girl (on chrome film) in 1998 for a now long defunct softcore website called VeniceBeachGirls.com:

Back in '99 - originally our first site was free (with free hosting from GoCasino) - but our images were already well-known before we launched (our stuff was seeded all over Usenet newsgroups)...so traffic went crazy right from the start and we exceeded the 2gB/day bandwidth limitation of the hosting within the first week.

We also had high-profile guest galleries on Red's Realm, EveEllis...and a bunch of other larger bdsm/fetish sites at the time.

So we switched to paid hosting and converted the site to a paysite. If memory serves, our first sale came through overnight while we slept. Within a week or two the sales were constant and we couldn't believe the signups pouring in.

Those were the days (sigh)...

Amateur Pages PPC and the Free Ezine websites back in 2001

Designer for Extreme Paychecks. Good times.. Good times.

Nude Celeb paysite back in 1998.

Ultra Cash, they rocked back then :thumbsup

Blast from the past. I went over to Eve Ellis after reading your post and the tour is teensy and the join doesn't work. Wonder what happened.

Stacy Burke. :)

She's a great gal. I remember meeting her the first time at 2001 Bondcon in NY. One of my favorite pics I took that weekend was of her frolicking like a cat at our display booth.

Always wanted to shoot with her, but never had the opportunity.

(nice pics, btw)

I think both of you misread. If I'm not mistaken Roald is saying she should have stayed with Freeones.

I put up fake personals ads on a now global postings site that started in San Francisco. In the ad I pretended to be a young woman of about 19 who had just posed nude and regretted it. I asked people to check out the site (I was promoting, teenrevenue) and tell me if I had been a good girl or bad girl. I would get 1,000 hits to the site (and some joins now and then) before the posting would get flagged.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS my friend, we thought they'd never end...

In 1992 when I was a sophomore in high school, I removed the label from a VHS tape of Ginger & Spice by Vivid and applied to where there was typically a label on the cartridge of some random Nintendo game. I told this kid at school that it was a special bootleg XXX Nintendo game that required a special cheat code and sold it to him for $20. Remember, those cheat codes could get pretty complicated. So I just made one up and then every day when he would come back to complain and tell me that it didn't work, I would just tell him that he got the code wrong or that I must have made a mistake and then would give him a new one with a slight adjustment. This guy was pretty much like the DV Times or Gary of my class, so I was able to keep it up for about 2 weeks. I gave him the $20 back but all those laughs my friends and I had about it were priceless. Haha!

you all have no sense for dutch humor :P

My first money in adult was selling VHS porn tapes ...

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Ok, that was funny.

Affiliate sale from a Wordpress blog, on my own domain. First page ranking for a keyword, I think.

Payserve RLST sale after 6 hours of making my first blog on Thumblogger..

:thumbsup

If memory serves, it was from Cybererotica.

Made my first buck when someone hired me for a monthly contract in 2003. That was like the best thing that happened. High times lasted for almost 10 years. And then it slowly went down.. And now under.. lol Still surviving though. :thumbsup

Setting up models on ifriends. They didnt have tech knowledge so I'd go to their house and set them up and charge them $200. This is in 2000.

And with the age old issue in porn the day they got bought out, the stats hit the floor.
