Tube white-labels don't exist, to my knowledge
Another option is you can just pull in embedded videos from pornhub/xhamster/etc. This could integrate on your main domain (you wouldn't need a subdomain like you would with KVS/mechbunny/whitelabel) and would increase user engagement (users mostly want to watch free videos, they don't care much about your copy or your galleries or any of that bullshit) and revenues (you get paid for embedded video views)
TBH based on what I see on your site (it's copy-heavy wordpress) your time would best be spent writing more copy and building contextual backlinks. Google will send you monetizable traffic if you write unique copy and build contextual backlinks. Review cam models and bask in the glorious organic cam traffic. Trying to integrate a tube is needlessly complicating your business model because it's a tough, expensive niche to compete in; unless you're gonna spend a shit ton of time/money to do it right, users won't care about your tube or return to it. It won't increase your profits unless you do it really well.
you have a copy-heavy wordpress site, so focus on writing copy for your wordpress site.

Hey Dude...
OK so here's the thing, I am currently launching a new mainstream project, so alas not a lot of time to throw at the new
SLUTBANK.COM site, and likewise all my money is tied up with the new project...
Don't get me wrong I am not dumping my affiliation with adult, we have a lot of revenue streams in adult, it's just not making the money. I guess launching a traffic site was a last shot at seeing, if developing our own traffic we could generate better revenues from our different revenue streams...
Now 4-5 months in that hasn't proved to be the case, maybe we've seen a minor increase in revenues, but that may just be coincidence. However we knew it wouldn't happen overnight and it takes time, especially getting organic traffic, and trust me we're no experts on SEO.
So back to the Tube... any potential revenues would be a bonus, it's more about getting "engagement" with our visitors really... Because of the amount of revenue being brought in I cant throw an addition $100-200 just to host the website (not for now, maybe in the future as we grow)
I did buy the domain
SLUTBANK.TV as I wasn't sure if it was better to host the server on another domain, but either way I want to have something on the actual
SLUTBANK.COM website... hope that makes some kind of sense.
My big follow up question for you is the comment you made about pulling in embedded videos from places like porn hub... is that allowed ? I will speak to my tech guy and see what he thinks/can do... as that would be an interesting option... Do you actually apply to these tubes to do this ? I have never seen anything on the sites like this...
