A little about myself:
I gross over $4000 per month from mostly AVS work
I net between $1500-2000 per month. I spend a lot on content and google adwords. I need to net a minimum of $3000 per month, so I don't lose my house and starve to death!

I haven't done twink or straight sites. I build bear, leather, bareback, military, etc. sites.

I'm not a great designer
Hey there

Good luck! And a fellow Texan. My advice is to just be careful and disciplined. I would be so much farther along if I were more disciplined. But oh well. I happen to be doing webmastering full time, and now I'm actually doing things like paying for trips to Phoenix and Hollywood, FL. On the other hand up until last year I was living like a pauper.

This year my porn site has taken off nicely, and I have no overhead on it. Plus I have five other non-adult sites - all pertain to topics that I enjoy, so it's very fullfilling.

You can definately make a living being a full time webmaster. Some of the programs are good, and others are not so good. Plus I also have done different projects to test the waters. If it doesn't work - it's not a big deal.

My experience is very different from yours though. Lots of my sales are from selling products -- like adult DVDs, PPV. I don't do any of the TGP things or setups that use AVS or ManCheck. Maybe someday.

You sound pretty careful, and not like me which operates more along the "ready...fire...aim" scenario. Maybe you should start another site or two before cutting the employer umbillical. I know that when I add a new affiliate program to my site, I work on the prospect that I want to have it paying me at least $100 month quickly.

Still after seven years of being on my own, it is nice that I see tunnel layed out in front of me, and light at the end.
