Question 5 years ago?

ok so awhile back I asked where you thought you might be 5 years from now.

But what's maybe more enlightening is "Where were you 5 years ago?"
Are you making more money now? Or less?
Has your situation changed? Are you now an owner rather than an employee or is it the other way around?

What's different now from 5 years ago?

5 years ago I was modeling full time, running my own site and doing a lot of promotional work.

These days I still model and run my site www.aimeesweet.com... but I only shoot a few days a month... and now I work full time as the Marketing Coordinator for a VOD program www.alladultcash.com.

Life is good!

5 years ago I was flogging porn every waking moment. (and loving it)

Now I am trying to invest what I managed to save doing that so I can retire permanently... but it turns out managing high risk investments takes just as much time at the pc as flogging porn did!!

Hi Chris! nice to see your face on ICQ

5 years ago I owned Netpond ( then the biggest Adult Webmaster Resource bar none)

I also part owned a large click broking firm.

Since then my gross income has declined , but my net has risen.

The differences?

Honestly its simple...KISS. Keep it simple stupid.

Then , I had probably 20 staff of which maybe 6 worked ...sometimes LOL.

Now I have consultants , priced for jobs , and people paid solely on performance.

The main differences I see now cmpared to then is the number of people in adult. Waaaayyyy more.

There seems to loads of people doing it part time to make beer money hoping one day to score big.

Today there is fewer big earners , more making a "normal " sort income , but classed as "playas"...

Oh and my golf handicap is lower

5 years ago I was working as a network administrator and technology resource for a PR firm. I handled the local network and desktop support crap as well as worked with staff on helping them understand technology and how to pitch that to the clients. I worked on some stuff for large corporate clients like Dell Canada and some government contracts.

I made less money and worked a hell of a lot more. I feel I am further ahead now and would even feel that way if I was making less money because I got my time back. I was travelling 2+ hours each way to work every day. when you spend 4 to 5 hours in Toronto rush hour traffic 5 days a week it starts to wear you down.

5 years ago I was living with my parents - helping my dad out until my mom died of Alzheimer's and diabetes, she suffered a heart attack. I traveled 2 to 3 hours one way from kitchener to Toronto for work, then back at night through rush hour traffic for a year helping them out.

once she passed on I stayed with my dad to help him over it for 3 months then moved back to Toronto to get my life back. Shortly after that I met shedevil and the rest of history.

I'm with Anthony. Five years ago??? That would be the year 2001 and I don't believe I was even in adult that year. I do tend to come and go...and yes, that is the correct spelling on "come" for the wag in the back row.

5 years ago I was beginning a new life with a beautiful new lady.
I was also in between jobs, contemplating who's job offer I was going to accept.
I was happy 5 years ago... but nowhere near as happy as I am today.

5 years ago I worked for Netpond and a fairly large click brokering company

I have no regrets and am loving what's in store for my future! 5 years has changed me a lot and I'm quite happy with those changes.

I've had a series of ups and downs over the last five years...

However, now I'd say things are better. I'm making more money, I'm just starting out on a couple of different projects... Including being the Script Supervisor for a local low-budget horror movie, planning out a site which will feature myself, and a couple of other projects.

On top of that, I have a personal blog, which I use to send traffic to my cam when I'm on. I've also been trying to start a sex advice column on it too. And, I plan to add this blog to the site I'm putting together(the one that's going to feature me) when it goes up. So, really it's a multi-purpose blog!

I've still been camming(obviously) I still do some writing work(though, I'm pretty booked up right now...) I still own Written Temptations, and, still trying to learn new things!
