Right now and maybe only right now, you have a window of opportunity. You can change your source of income and improve the quality of your life with just a computer and an Internet connection. You can be a part of the adult Internet profession without dues, degrees or start-up costs.
The online adult field is partaking of and flourishing from the free exchange of knowledge and cooperation that the Internet is based upon. There’s free web hosts, no-cost content for sites, hundreds of freeware and shareware programs all listed on resource pages for porn professionals.
Anyone who is willing to take the time to study and implement the tools available to them can learn the adult Internet business. They can do it in their own time, from their own homes for zero money down. Ten years from now, this cornucopia of cost-free tools probably won’t be available. While you can, enjoy this fourth installment of our series: Zero Down Plan.
In the previous lessons you were told how to get hosting, content and find web page building software totally free. Eventually you’ll buy software and pay for hosting and content. You want to be a financial contributor to your field. Cutting out virtually all your start up costs will help you arrive at solvency safely. When you begin to make money, then you can pay for and invest in your career. For now, let’s show you some free graphic software programs you can use to build your empire.
Whether or not you’re an artist, you’re going to have to work with images if you want to be an adult webmaster. If you’re looking to start out with our Zero Down Plan, then you’re probably doing this on your own. Most adult webmasters are renaissance types. They do a little bit of everything and image manipulation is one of those things. You’re going to need to resize pictures, convert them into different file formats and you just might create a logo or two. You need software to do it and here’s some that cost nothing to download and use:

Thumbs Plus
(http://www.cerious.com)
Whether or not you are going to
make thumbnail galleries for submission to TGPs, this software is an extremely handy graphics tool. Not only will it convert and resize images, it has filters and applications that let you adjust color and image clarity. It can batch process and will read any type of graphic image including animation and movie formats. The program is a time-limited shareware. In other words, it's fully functional for a short period of time. This is one program where you'll be happy to pay for because it's infinitely invaluable to the adult webmaster.
Infran View
(http://www.irfanview.com)
Another program that finds all
the image and media files on your computer and displays them for you in an explorer-type window format. Like Thumbs Plus, this program also batch processes, reformats and manipulates most image files. This program is freeware and is about one megabyte in size.
Paint Shop Pro
(http://www.jasc.com/products/psp)
Referred to as a
poor man's Photo Shop, this workhorse of a graphics/illustration program can do it all. From drawing to filtering to animation creation, this program can do just about anything the Adobe program can do for one-third the cost. The trial version is fully functional for thirty days and the program costs a mere $99.00.
PhotoLine
(http://www.pl32.com)
All the filters and bells and
whistles in a true shareware program. This software is fully functional even after the thirty-day trial period. You can perform virtually every imaging task needed with this German software.
There are uncountable other programs one can use to work with graphics. Some of them are dreamy in their capabilities but they take advanced knowledge and cost a good bit of money. One day, you will be able to buy these programs or pay someone else to do your graphic work. Today, you don't need to worry about such things. Especially when there’s so much sample software that works very well for where you’re at. Experiment with these programs and get an understanding of how they work and how you can make them work for your business.
