I didn't see the statement but I don't see why it shouldn't?

If she has 250 members at $35 each, the gross would be $105,000. If her statement showed AFTER affiliates and CCBill amount was taken out then it's more likely she has around 330-350 members. Kim has a very unique website and I don't think it has any competitors.

I don't know how SOJ do their affiliate payments so it might be that affiliate sales have to come our aftrer that $104,000 - then of course, whatever costs she has to pay to the management company for servers, webmastering, etc. also has to come out. So the sales figure you would see on a billing statement is the GROSS or gross minus billing costs but not other fees.

Either way, that's a nice chunk of money for a good site. I'm not sure why she'd post the figures though?

Steven, I posted it as Nikka wanted to see, and I was being challenged from someone else on here who did a similar thing. I didn't want to get accused of skirting around the issue. I get accused of enough on here by a certain individual.

Anyways here it is again, but I wont leave it up too long.

Oh.... I had 3,140 members join last year. Obviously there are the affils, hosting and other costs, but my accountant and wife aint complaining.

As you quite rightly say, my website does offer something just a bit different to the mainstream I guess.

And yes, I'm just a man in a wig as people keep pointing out! Dumb-Dumb me.

Good advice Steven, and I'm pleased you got to see it. Your comments mean a lot on here.

You now got the censored version.

At least some of my haters got to see the figs and they cannot deny that I do have people out there, that like what I do, even if its not for everyone.

I didn't want to do a conventional website and I was right with that choice.

If we all liked the same thing, then the world would be a very boring place.

Here Here....Most of these slackers criticizing Kim are more than likely collecting shopping carts at Wal-Mart with pants down around their knees and boxers pulled up to their navel. ....I really can't reconcile why some people would have an issue with what anyone does on their website unless it has to do with underage kids..... Don't like it? Don't join. Freedom to patronize those things you like is a beautiful thing...

I don't get it, you're on a ts site, a large majority of mainstream/straight society would look down on all of us here and peddle ignorance regarding our sexual desires and turn ons, yet here are posters doing exactly the same thing, some peeps will never learn.

Funny how certain posters quick to attack Kim's integrity have gone quiet since Kim posted those figures.

Indeed.....Yet the rich irony is that some of these same critics show up on the "amateur" TV/CD thread, and the Fem Boi Threads. Go figure...? Maybe self loathing is the proper diagnoses...or maybe they think they'll curry favor with the ladies who are the harshest critics of TV's? Either way it's weak.

Self-loathing + irony and the failure to recognise it = hypocrisy.

Kim is entirely upfront about who she is, what she does and why she does it, unlike a lot of the guys in wigs on HA who get some around here salivating.

It's not to my personal taste, but we should all respect her honesty at the very least.

The day we allow cd tim to start trashing the girls on this board is the day its no longer worth coming here. We used to have so many girls that contributed here and now we get tim with a telephone pole shoved up his ass. Sorry, this WAS a site about transexuals and we used to have so many sweet girls that came here.

Now we got spamalot tim in a wig.. sorry not my cup of tea and to see this shithead start trashing the girls here is too much.

It seems that Faldur has a real problem. The wanker can't even spell "Kim" right!

He says this is a site about transsexuals, when the main heading CLEARLY states its a site for:
Transsexual, Tranny, Shemales, Tgirls and TS/TV Forum and Blog.

I guess the stupid CUNT can't even read either! What a dumb-ass.

He is obviously jealous that Kim is making more money than him, and can't get his little mommies boy head around it.

Way to cross post moron. You want to respond to a comment do it in the thread it was posted.

The first thing tim, is the mods should start deading all your mults. You want to sit around bumping all your spam threads be my guest. But the day you start trashing the GIRLS that make this board you become fair game.

Jealous of your money? You have got to be kidding. Lets see how your riches fair when your fitted with a colostomy bag from all the abuse you inflicted on your body.

I like Faldur, but we clearly disagree on Kim....and that's ok. I just think sometimes if we dial the criticism back several notches you might begin to find that "community" that so many like to reference. I like what Kim does, and Jamie, and all the ladies over in the right hand column with web sites. I guess I just got a lotta love to give ! LMAO

Hey Robert, that dude Scap1030 (aka miss K) can't even spell the word "heard" or "Circumference" so how do expect him to show anyone any respect!

If Kim was ugly why would her website make so much money? Why would she even have a successful website too?

Why would a long established poster on here (T-gas-Mutiny) make her a "Tribute to Kim" thread?

Scap1030 is just an ignorant loser

I suppose it is to be expected from a washed up, racist "has been" that no-one in the porn industry will touch anymore. We all know her game.

A bit late for an apology. If you really mean it you would either remove or edit what you said about Kim.

I watched her cam show last night and she is certainly very pretty.

No wonder her website makes so much money. Good luck to her.

Kim. Sorry to say hun. but you can do much better that that. You should be making close to 140K or more take home for you alone off the initial sales of your site.

$104,000 is a huge amount for long established solo girl website.

Don't forget that's on top of what she makes on her webcam site.

I would think that most TS/TV sites would struggle to make that kind of money in todays cash strapped world.

Just saying...

So foxy, you bumped a month old thread to remind us all of Kim's finances?

Kim isn't my kind of thing, but I've realised that it's her complete fucking loser fans than make me dislike her. In my heart I just want to wish her well and not have to concern myself with her existence, but you retards keep remorselessly banging on about her gaping wallet...

Let the woman make her money!

Congrats on the nice paycheck... Keep doing what makes you happy (and paid) and let the skeptics continue waste their time.

"tvkim" just said a few posts up that he is a man in a wig. I'd hardly call that a woman, no offense.
