I started back in 2002 by starting a few porn blogs, got my first affiliate check a year later.. luckily they're growing in amount each and every month since then (knock on wood)

I also run a paysite with my friend and I'm currently working hard on launching more of them along with a brand new gay affiliate program which will go live in a few weeks.

I usually don't talk about what I do with my friends unless asked directly; then I'm usually honest and tell them I "do porn" for living and, from my experience, this starts a long long conversation usually ;-)

For some reason I haven't and probably will never tell my parents and family.. not that I am ashamed of what I do, but I feel that it would disappoint them. They wouldn't understand the way I see it - that the porn is business like any other and to make money in porn is pretty hard and requires even more hard work...
