Hi everyone,
boy have things changed, a long time ago on an internet far far away I once played around with making money online, big emphasis on the played around part.
Way back in 97 two good friends and I decided to throw up an adult site. This was LONG before any tube sites were even being dreamed of, in fact video's were kind of new and hard to implement on sites, there was no such thing as youtube.
We had a couple female friends who were strippers so we decided to call it stripperfetish.com, long story short I think we worked on it and several cases of beer for about a weekend, found a cheap host, tossed a bunch of photo's we took of our friends and their friends who were strippers onto it and that was that.
To drive traffic back then the thing to do was spam user groups with your link, we would spam, get banned, get a new isp, spam, get banned get a new isp etc etc. Now back then dial up was the way 90% of people got on the internet, cable was not commonplace and there were a ton of different dial up ISP's to choose from.
We did this off and on for a few weeks before being young and dumb we got bored with it and went on just partying and chasing the ladies, every 2 weeks we would get a check for between $400 and $750 bucks from CCBILL for stripperfetish but we never ever went back to it to update it after throwing it up that one weekend.
Our thought process at the time was, man this is boring and its just not worth the time, partying and getting wasted was so much more fun and so good old stripperfetish eventualy died an uneventful death a year later when we failed to renew it for whatever stupid reason.
The crazy thing is it earned cash almost immediately and with almost zero effort by todays standards, if I only knew then what I know now.... but I guess thats why they say hindsight is always 20/20
Anyways thats my ridiculously big mistake / missed opportunity.
This time around im going to try doing the whole niche site thing with amazon affiliate and clickbank with some adsense.
So here i am back again after all these years wading through all the BS, scammers, snake oil salesman and whatever other predatory a$$holes there are lurking in the world of internet marketing in 2015, so very different from the late 90's.
