I'm lost? I feel so lost & misguided in the mainstream?

08-12-2006, 05:56 PM

Mainstream is so much different than porn?

Content is so much harder to get.
Link trading & traffic.. OMFG I don't even know where to start, other than SE.
Sponsors.. well, there's a fucking gazillion of them out there & fuck who knows if they pay or not or whatever,, & well, it's so much fucking easier for ME to do porn.. that's what I know.. Fuck, I can build a pornsite in less than hour & have traffic pumped into it in a matter of minutes..
with mainstream, fucking days building this site.. & really, I doubt I would even make a 10th of the revenue that I make in porn..

I don't know.. well, fuck if it happens, great & if it fucking don't, great too..

It all starts in the forums. Most of them dont put up with bullshit or flaming either. Get 10-100 posts on 10 different mainstream forums. Sitepoint.com i've heard is good, dnforum.com is a good domain forum, not sure what else is out there for mainstream.

The same rules about adult are present in mainstream and are even more influencial than in adult : CONTENT IS KING.

If you've got good content, people will come, but if you're rehashing the same old shit as someone else, you're going to be grinding for less money.

nah - the same rule applies in mainsteam as in adult - the scammers, spammers and parasites make the most.

content is king if you're Bangbros or Lightspeed in adult - same applies to mainstream if you're ESPN or something like that. Quality content sites in mainstream take more resources. I will guarantee you that nobody on GFY who claims success in mainstream can show a content site that is anything but spam of some type. hmmm.......... actually i do know a few GFYers that have decent mainstream content sites but they don't make that much money.

Mainstream is awesome. Much of the competition lacks competence, free incoming links are ridiculously easy to get, etc.

You just need to choose the right target. For example, make a few sites about your interests, hobbies, or whatever, and apply your knowledge from adult to them. In many cases, you can quite easily become a dominant player in your niche.

The trick is to stay away from the obvious money-makers and internet-specific areas (dating, online gambling, software, etc.), since those usually do have a lot of competition.

What I know in adult revolves around making freesites, avs sits and tgp galleries.
You dont have freesites, avs sites and tgp galleries in mainstream.
I dont even know where to start.

So you make sites that just sit there waiting to get spidered?
And on ebay people only make money by charging extra for the shipping, and you have to pachage stuff up and mail it all out.

The best part of mainstream is if you have a decent site and traffic, there is a pretty large market to sell your site if it's just not working out for you.

I'm about to get back into mainstream after taking a break from it.

I'm getting some mainstream projects going. I figure since most of my content is text, relevant, current and non-adult the search engines might like me better. We'll see.

i just don't see how content can't be rehashed from somewhere else in mainstream or adult. its all gotta come from somewhere unless you are writing articles or something.

if you're spamming the search engines or can spam mailing i'd imagine its much easier as its not about getting people to like your site as it is just getting as many eyes and click throughs to sponsors as possible.

you need to know where to get the traffic, plus build sites that run themselves.

There is no money in mainstream.... at least not for most adult webmasters.

Mainstream requires a complete shift in attitude, every deal you do will require contracts and conference calls. Many companies will simply refuse to do business with you if you are not big enough or aren't coming in through a personal referral.

With that said however, mainstream is so crooked and willing to do virtually anything to make money. So if you do get "in" with the right people and have something good to sell you'll find yourself turning away deals.

Mainstream takes a thick skin and some serious resolve.
