Fun fact: my first job was helping the Avon lady hang catalogs on her customer's doorknobs.
I was 6-7 years old.. she would come around every other Tuesday and pick me up in her Cadillac.. she would drive up to a house and I would grab a catalog, run up to the house, hang it by the little rubber band onto the doorknob, ring the bell or knock, and run back to the car.. took about an hour or so and I was rewarded handsomely with a crisp one dollar bill. I was eventually fired for taking catalogs from the wrong box and giving them to the wrong customers.. I wasn't too upset about being fired.. it was summer and I wanted to play with my friends..

My first job was working in a plant nursery helping move some plants around. Second was working Saturday mornings at a petrol station, doing basic things like helping old ladies refuel their cars or repairing tyre punctures etc. Both were shit and I wouldn't recommend either.

For 6 weeks in high school though things changed. I managed to score the #1 search result when you searched for "free porn" on Yahoo, which at the time was pretty much the only search engine worth using. I had a page with just banner ads on it, back when you used to get paid between 2 and 30 cents for a click (no such thing as sign up payments etc, it was all per click whether they bought anything or not). Google didn't even exist then.

There was 6 ads on the page, 1 of which was owned by the guy who was doing my web hosting. I got another friend to help do some stuff with the site, and unbeknownst to me he decided the web host was making too much from the arrangement and removed his ad from the page.

This was a mistake, as he also owned the domain name we were using. I hurriedly found some new web hosting, registered a new domain, and between the two of us we had to CALL Yahoo and try to get them to update the domain on our search listing. "Hi, I own this site, can you just like.. change the URL to be something else for me? I have no proof of anything". Can you imagine doing that today?

Sadly, the dickhead managed to get to somebody who could help before I did. He decided while he was there he'd get them to add more keywords in, so we could get more hits. We went from #1 result for "free porn" to about page 300. Never made another cent.

Fucking idiot.

Even better, all the cheques were in US dollars; my mother worked at a bank, so I got her to cash them for me so I didn't have to pay the currency conversion fees and international cheque fees. Well, her boss had to, anyway. I'm sure she enjoyed explaining to her boss why her teenage son was cashing cheques from "XXX Hardcore Granny Fuck Pics Enterprises" and things like that.

My first job was for a couple of crooked cops.
When I had run enough errands, I got paid a "Mawson" for my troubles.

That sounds like a feature article out of Hustler: "The AVON Ladies Of OnlyFans".

Granted, I would buy that issue, or fusker the content if was hosted somewhere other than OnlyFans.
