I had very limited or basically no knowledge or experience with photography or videogrpahy up until 4 years ago (but it has always interested me)
I had a tiny bit of experience with websites but my main field of expertise from my IT days is internet sales and marketing.
About 4 years ago I had an IT business and wanted a change.
So I looked around and found that the adult industry was strong and though "I can do that"
So I bought all the equipment and booked some models in, practised for a few months producing stills and video, just enjoying doing something different whilst trying to get out of the IT sector. Soon as I saw the potential to make a living in the adult business I quit my IT business, registered the WIN site and started producing content for it on a full time basis. And here I am now!
In conclusion, It was a massive financial gamble to quit a business that was profitable to go into something that I knew nothing about. But the gamble was well worth it, not just from a financial point of view but more importantly for me is that I enjoy what I'm doing and love producing content that everyone else enjoys too!
