How to start a small paysite or similar?

03-28-2023, 03:40 PM

Lol my last visit was in 2016...

I shoot own content and want to start a small paysite, like avs in old good days, what are the options today to sell videos except xvideos or hub? Since I am not an actor, I can't start onlyfans page, but I want to shoot and publish interesting videos, to talk with fans and so on, to build the brand, small community. Are any publishers who are working with small studios, I think I am not the only one for sure

Sorry, but I can't understand how to ask the right questions after a break, thanks a lot in advance for any advice.

You want to start a traditional paysite? I hope you have traffic.

The basic tools you’ll need:

- hosting
- video cdn
- member’s area cms (prolly elevated X if you’re not tech saavy)
- NATS for cascade billing, affiliate program and linkcode stats tracking
- create channels on all the big tubes
- upload your content on your official channels
- sell your content on every clip store available (c4s, xvideos red, pornhub premium, etc etc)
- integrate cams, dating and similar paysites in your MA, ideally with 1-click upgrades
- setup a mailing solution to remarket to every damn email you collect

That’s the most generic setup. You can go with a simpler setups like with a CCbill only solution, but I highly recommend you get multiple processors in a cascade to increase your chances of sales going through.

I could go on and on for hours on the fine details on each step… but really the one thing you need is traffic. If you don’t have it, that’s the first thing you need to get.

TLDR; the core thing you need before thinking of setting up a paysite is your own traffic. Don’t depend on affiliates to generate sales.

The second most important thing you’ll need is a good processing setup. So much money is left on the table if you only use 1.

The 3rd most important aspect of running a paysite is knowing how to increase the average member value. Upsales, retention, remarketing will be your bread and butter.

Recycling your content on other platforms will help you bring in that extra money you’ll need to cover your shoot expenses

True! Going with an all-in-one solution if you're just starting out is a cheap and efficient way to get up and running.

That guy did it. He built it and came here and everyone laughed at him for having softcore stuff and no "real models"... Now he is laughing all the way to the bank.

+1 for NoWhErE's guide/tips. As for a CMS, it is also worth checking out KVS and Mechbunny scripts.

Yes

If you plan on shooting 4k vids then this is a good option.

I use them for all my sites.

They deal with hosting, website, payment, affiliate and so on. All you do if upload your content.

If you plan on doing it yourself them you need a site, dedicated server and all the other stuff.

But do not expect to make a million day one. Years ago you could set up a site and it made cash. Today it is harder. However many quit too early. Often they are put off because they have few sales when they have only uploaded two films and two sets of pics.

Before you do anything, make sure you have a decent brandable domain name as this can make a huge difference in sales. Try to get a .com.

As a producer it is still very possible to grow a new paysite using tube traffic. What JT did ten years ago with faketaxi etc (shoot for the tubes, edit tube friendly clips, build a typein brand) is still possible today.

But the key too is to make somthing different.

Faketaxi was different, not just the idea of being shot in a taxi, but using the gopro gave it a sexy feel. It felt it was real footage from an taxi cam.

One problem has been a lot of porn is the same.

If you want to make $$$ then I suggest make something no one has seen.

I see a lot made that to be honest I would not bother with if it is free on a porntube site.

FakeTaxi was just the lastest in Bangbus rip offs. The fact that it was UK based actually worked against it.

There are other sites with fairly generic porn that did the well on the tubes, like PropertySex.

Editing and consistency of uploading is what makes the money, not a clever or unique idea.

For sure. Its still possible, but unlikely.

Also JT used to own Youporn and new how to harnest the power of tubes. That was a huge advantage for him

My advice is generic and assumes OP doesn’t have an ace up his sleeve

True, and that does not apply only to adult, but anything these days. Even the best idea on the world have no use if you are not doing proper marketing.

for sure. the only way to fail is to fail to work.

get up, work until you are tired. go to bed. get up. work again.

at least until the project is making a return of some sort (money, pride, entertainment).

how many traffic trade requests can you send in a day? how many press releases and newsletters can you send out in a week? how many tube posts can you upload?

the people failing are the ones sitting around gfy all day saying "there's no money in porn" and posting in politics for hours. there's no money for those mofos because they aren't spending time on profitable tasks.
