What do you like most about being in the online adult business?
 

Just curious on what drives Webmasters to continue to move forward in this crazy ever changing business. It is obviously something that they love, enjoy and get a sense of completion by doing. What's your reason and love of this crazy business?

Keep on Rockin'

Re: What do you like most about being in the online adult business?
 

My reason is simple... i am afraid of sunlight and of the out side world not accepting me

I have No Skill Sets :confused:

For me it would have to be to help support my addiction to hard work and learning new things.

Where else can I work my ass off and learn at the same time?

It surely can't be the naked men that I see.. Doesn't seem like you guys are taking anything off *giggle*

people in the porn business rock. I often look at the porn business, at least online anyway.... as the way that all business should be run.

I mean, honestly... networking, getting to know each other, meets all over the continent just to... well, meet!!
People getting to know each other for mutual advantage so that everyone can just make more $$ to have a better time at the next meet.

If more businesses and companies would operate in the same way, I think that economies in all countries would just be so much stronger... and people in general would just be so much nicer to each other.

Here in July, during the Westcoast Webmasters Conference I got to meet people who have way more money than I'll ever see, and just sat back and had a drink with them, joking about the quality of good looking people on Robson St. In any other business, you don't get that. You'd never ever get to see the people with the $$ or power.

I love this biz.... I love the people in it. I think the more of a community it can be, the closer all the people can be, the more beneficial to everyone involved. And the best part is... obviously, I'm not the only one who thinks that way... cause it's workin right now!!

Working with open-minded ppl...

Dealing with lots of different approaches about sex...



:bonk:

Im a sexaddict.....thats mainly it...love porn and thought I might just make some money while doing what I like :)


Also the money is nice too....

And you meet lots of cool friends all over the net!

I love the business people....most are open minded, easy going and always opening to new networking connections. Unlike the mainstream corporate world...you'd never see a newbie starting up his first site ever get the time of day from seasoned individuals who technically are his competition. Most of the people in the business don't work against each other...although I am competitive by nature I've always felt that in the grand scheme of things, co-operation among business will do more good in the long term.

Plus the money is great....and things are considerably less stressful than your average 9-5 job.

Less stress? NO WAY!. I think at times it can be more stressful.

Wow,
Some really great stuff here so far... thanks for your input and I hope we get more Webmasters telling why they like & love the passion for this business.


Apollo, StuartD, princess and the other have some really good stuff there. As for PD, who didn't already know that! ...lol j/k bro you know I love ya'

As for me... I've been in it about 8 years so I am considered a pioneer or what I prefer, 1st generation. I love the biz for all of the reasons so far stated above and a few more. I hate the biz because of the loooong hours and tedious work involved at times. This biz has made me some great money and lost me some big money… but what the hell, who hasn’t it? I still keep plugging along and my plans are in the future to build and transit over into mainstream successfully which btw, has been more of a failure to those whom tried it then a success which have been very far and few in-between.

I look forward to meeting all of you at the up and coming shows.

Keep on Rockin’ (does anyone know who I am by this tagline?)

:salute:

Neil Young? :bonk:

the most important part of the quote was left out: IN THE FREE WORLD!!!

I'm in porn for the B( . )( . )BIES !!! :D

I felt into it by chance. I was delivering pizza's 4 years ago and a friend asked me if I wanted to come work with him at the "porn" place. I started off just scanning pictures all day. Now I've worked my way to the top and am running the office. Showed me what I could do if I actually applied myself and stopped goofing off. And now I love what I do, actually the first "real" job I've ever had (I'm only 23). And I'll agree that I most of the people I've deal with are really nice and open minded, most like to work together to make each other profitable, being that traffic, sales, etc. Anyway, I'll let it at that...I've been here for about 4 years and plan on staying.

Easy, the people and the paychecks :)

The fact that it is cutting edge and a major part of history.

The friendships that I have developed are also pretty kewl.

Great stuff here... ! Even some short and sweet ones.

Let's keep the thread going!

Keep on Rockin'

I fell into the biz through a former partner who came up with the plan to start a content store, and had no previous exposure to the biz. I am most pleasantly surprised by the professionalism of the people I come in contact with. Every conversation, transaction...has been conducted with great people who display so many positive business qualities that it has far surpassed the dealings I have had in other professions I have been in.

The Hours

The fame and fortune?

:rolleyes:

Well... I love the people from the industry, I love porn, I love money and I love chalenges. So I thought to myself 3 years ago, "why not?" - Since them I learn a new reason why I love it everyday!

Take care,

Bruno Dickman

What do I like most? The people!

It is definitely cool to work with people who are laid back but still serious about making money.
Looking a naked girls all day is nice too :)

B

I am into it for the money and Sex

Dugmor,
heheh, great post.. short and to the point... my thoughts exactly :-)


Keep on Rockin'

I'm hoping to one day be able to do a gay shoot with Vid Vicious.
He'll be on bottom of course.

:p

Don't let everyone else bullsh*t you !

LMAO!!!!! ::-|

I am in it for the message board giveaways.

I still need more clothes and a bean bag chair. (the original ergonomic chair)

I'm actually thinking this might be a question I can better answer after January... I am so totally looking forward to Vegas :D

Re: Re: What do you like most about being in the online adult business?
 

There is really a so-called "outside world" beyond the borders of cyber space? I thought that was just some myth....

Hahaha,
Dugmor could be right... What I think he means is that everyone is in it for the money?
If so, how many here, here's do I see?

Keep on Rockin'

Ps- My appologies if I interpreted that wrong.

LOL for the money baby, i know i'm not saving the world! rofl

Shann,
Saving the world we're not... I think we're just giving them something of choice to look at that makes their day better... and we make money from it too :)


Keep on Rockin'

Beats a cubicle anyday.

Anyone that says they aren't in this business for the money is just plain lying... or is a perv. hmm... wait, could be a perv and like the money, too, err... never met anyone in this business that wasn't a perv... well shit, must be the sex.

XXXstorage_Jeff,
Money, pervs... hmm, I guess that could be a true a statement due to the fact that I never met anyone that didn't like sex, so I guess there are more pervs than not... But does this mean that just becuase one likes sex they're a perv? Good question to debate and iron through.


Keep on Rockin'

There's lots of reasons. Great people. Fun work where you can learn something new everyday. A reservation in Daytona for the finals of the Quebec's Best Butts contest. :glugglug:
Damn I wish it was April already!
And of course there's the fact that I live in a small town in Alberta and get to work with great people in Montreal. And go to Daytona. :D

And about the not saving the world thing. It's worth mentioning that the porn industry has been in the forefront of a lot of legal challenges and has probably contributed a lot to freedom of speech around the world. Porn is something that people get very passionate about whether they love it or hate it. Maybe porn won't save the world, but I think it just might be argued that it has made it a better place. The simple fact that people mostly want the freedom to look at porn on the net has helped to squash quite a few big brother type laws. Just my 2 cents.

Mister X,
I couldn't agree with you more... I have seen changes in the mainstream originating from adult as well as various program adaptations from adult to mainstream and that's just in mainstream.

One prime example, and correct me if I'm wrong, is the popup... I believe the first to invent and use it was adult.. Yet who do you suppose now has a patent on it?


Keep on Rockin'

I'm thinking of patenting the popunder that actually pops over instead of under. :D
Oh yeah. I have this great idea for a "candy". It's a little text file that goes on the surfers computer and it contains things like information on which banner he clicked. I might even do something totally off the wall and invent a "candy" controlled popunderover.

hehehe, go for it !


Keep on Rockin'
