I always read things in the digitalpoint sales forum where webmasters of adult websites seem to be very profitable. The truth is, it’s not as easy/turnkey as it seems to make an adult site profitable. It takes a lot of time, dedication, and startup funds to make an adult site that profits. Barefootsies writes great information on adult websites, and he has the experience to back it up.
You can still make a lot of easy money in adult, but many R-E-F-U-S-E to think outside the box. Clips4sale as an example is a gold mine for a thousand plus dollars a month depending on your content, number of stores, niche, and many refuse to pursue it. Or they try it for a month, and give up.
I have launched many paysites off of c4s. Posting content every few days with a watermark for the site, and in 45-60 days launching a paysite behind it. This builds up the momentum before launch, and you already have a customer base. Plus Neil (owner of c4s) buys a lot of traffic that he throws at the main page of the site on top of that. So it’s a very good place to start.
Even if you MAKE your own content, you should be able to recoup your expenses in 45-60 days if you are doing right. Then in another 45-60 you are making PROFIT. Launch your paysite, sell some DVD’s, now you are making even MORE money on residuals. Start doing some custom orders at $100-300 a pop for your mem
bers, and fans, and you have even more money coming in. Launch another, rinse, wash, repeat, and you are making $XXX,XXX in a few years.
That said, you also have to be willing to do the work. This means submitting galleries using a submitter program 4-7 times a week CONSISTENTLY. As well as link dumps, and link building. You have to be tweaking the formula every week to get a few more links for SEO, or traffic streams by submitting 30 second clips to tube sites. The job is never ending… just like ANY JOB.
Many fail because they refuse to treat it as a business. Online is no different than any other, and if you can’t buckle down and keep up the consistent work, you are going to fall into buying traffic. Which is a fool’s errand. Most of that shit is crap. Skimmed stuff, or unfiltered Chinese mess that will not convert.
CONVERSIONS is the name of the game, and getting GOOD FILTERED traffic is the key. If you can convert 1:100/300 uv a day. It’s better than burning your bandwidth trying to chase a 1:10000 conversion. Which many do, and burn their wallets out, and give up. I’ve seen it countless times over the years.
Doing affiliate stuff is harder I agree. I have dumped most of mine, and just promote my own sister sites now, or sites that have a direct benefit in one way or another. However, with the shaves cranked up on a lot of programs because they are hurting, chasing that dollar is becoming hard in both adult and mainstream.
It’s about working smarter, not harder. Many blow their budgets on some of the most asinine things when all you have to do is spend the TIME and doing something DAILY. Submit a gallery, get some links, post a video, make some posts on message boards. There are a hundred ways to skin that dollar. But you have to be willing to work. Buying traffic, and not doing the little things that make big cents is not going to cut it.
