Question from a Content Provider/Webmaster

[Donny]

Hello everyone!

I've been shooting exclusive content for a little over 5 years now but only recently have I begun actively pursuing new clients. In the past I worked exclusively for 3 different websites. I am now looking to find new buyers for which to shoot exclusive content. There are so many places to advertise so I wanted to ask those of you who pay for advertising:

1. Which sites/publications work best for you?

On a seperate topic:
I also started a pay site. Girls who pose for me are set up as CCBill referring partners so that they share the revenue (when someone clicks there link and joins the money is split with the referring girl). I paid for advertising on Worldsex.com only to learn the hardway that their traffic doesn't convert well at all. So here's question numbers 2 and 3:

2. From your experience, which paid advertising sites convert best?

3. Where have you found the most success advertising for webmasters to join your affiliate program?

Thanks so much to those of you who take the time to answer (and to those of you who simply tell me to "go fuck myself )

No opinions? Or simply not controversial enough (like the black power tshirt thread) to discuss?

[AaronM]

You are new to the board, you are posting in the "Fucking Around" area, and your post includes a lightly battered spam... Do not expect a lot of serious answers. I would offer suggestions if I had any but since I do not run any paysites.....

Good Luck

That's simply because I figure serious webmasters will email me for pricing.

You are kidding right?

[reddawg]

If you think serious webmasters are going to email you for prices, well then, you do not have to go fuck yourself, you already did.

Actually I'm not. That's how I've met all my buyers. I only sell exclusive shoots. I'm not selling CD's. People regularly inquire by email. I gross $30k to $50k per month right now so something's working.

I believe that is called your "imagination".

[AaronM]

I am not trying to bring a brother down but if you have been shooting exclusive for 5 years and you gross 30 to 50 grand a month then why have I never heard of you? I personally know some of the larger content providers and I can tell you that most of them do not gross that much in exclusive sales in a month.

Feel free to prove me wrong. Post or send me a list of your clients.

Seriously though, has anybody here heard of this guy before? If I am wrong then I am sorry but this does not sound realistic to me.

You may believe what you wish. Quickbooks shows we've brought in $131,700 so far this year. Divide that by 4 months and you have an average monthly income of $32,925. So I guess when I said $30k to $50k per month I was a little high with the latter. That's why I just checked Quickbooks. So, as I said... something is working right. This numbers are 100% accurate. I'd bet my life on it.

One place you can check is Amateur and Teen Kingdom. They credit all their photographers. You'll see thousands and thousands of photos labelled "Credit: Donovan Phillips".

ATK is a good client to have. Congrats.

[AaronM]

I still want a list of your clients though.

Key word here is Gross.

Notice he also said "we" this means he has additional overhead plus he has to pay the models out of that.

I wish this biz was all profit. I could have retired by now if it were.

I seriously doubt you are making this kind of money right now. Maybe in the past you did.

If you meant 3k and 12k but miss placed a 0 then it might be about right.

"WE" means my girlfriend and I, along with a 66 year old retired friend who keeps the books and who chastised me greatly for spending $16,000 last month on personal purchases such as scuba equipment and various other toys.

I actually got quoted in the testimonials section of the latest YNot Newsletter. I felt honored. Look in the bottom right corner of the Newsletter. Click Here.

Anyway... I came her to ask opinions on advertising. I spent $1,200 on Worldsex advertising last month plus $400+ on additional bandwidth from the resulting traffic and didn't get much return on my money so I wanted to get opinions on good places to advertise.

[AaronM]

Yep, I saw that in your initial post to this thread. I wish I had a vaild suggestion to offer you.

Well, I am off to go shoot a new girlie for one of my non-existant clients. Take care.

There were no misplaced numbers. If those numbers are so hard to believe I guess I'm asking the wrong people for advice, right? I thought we were on the low end of income for the industry. Hmmmm....

Okay Mike. Maybe I was wrong in assuming people could figure it out. For those who can't I guess I'll have to explain. Those who buy from me have passwords. They preview the girls and tell me who they are interested in. Then I call that girl in and do a photo shoot of her specifically for the webmaster. I'm not selling photos that already exist... I take orders and create new photos. I've been doing this for quite some time now and am having plenty of success. But I always want more.

Did I explain myself well enough this time?
