What do you want to be when you grow up
I can tell you right now when you was a kid, when your mom asked you what you wanted to be when you grow up, your answer wasn't an adult webmaster, or an internet hough heffner, but if your reading this there is a pretty good chance you are. When I stated in this biz it was a hobby, something to work on in the evenings after work, and on weekend, back in in those days you could sell dog shit in a box pretty easy, now days its tuff to even sell a dog. No matter how you dress her up. But what some people fail to think about is this is a business and must be treated as one. When you start out you should have a few key elements, one is a po box, or an alternate mail address, a business checking acount, and business paperwork from the state, or goverment where they live, you dont want checks comming to your house, you dont want the local church to know where your at. you need to keep records of money in and money out, yes you have to pay taxes on this stuff. So keep your records in a safe place because at the end of the year you will need to know exactly how much you made and how much you spent.
