I've decided to leave the online adult entertainment industry... - GoFuckYourself.com

Sly_RJ · 08-01-2004, 01:19 PM

for a few hours and explore mainstream possibilities a bit. What's hot these days? What I made bank on 4-5 years ago no longer exists and I hardly ever surf non-porn related sites anymore.

Lots of you guys have mainstream endeavors. Fill me in without telling me too much about your business. I wouldn't want to steal your cashflow.

Oh and I'll be announcing the winner of the Skin Traffic 50K traffic giveaway shortly. Stay tuned!

This is all too possible but I'm lazy.

You mean there is money on the internet besides adult? When did this happen!!!!???

TheWildcard · 08-01-2004, 01:28 PM

Mainstream biz is good.

wargames · 08-01-2004, 01:37 PM

Mainstream online retail works good with overture and google adwords. As long as you get the products at the right price.

alladvantage is a big money maker i hear

BVF · 08-01-2004, 02:05 PM

I'd like to know this also. I have no clue how to make money online if it isn't adult related. I wish I did. I hear that some people make bank just driving traffic to ebay auctions.

BarneyRubble · 08-01-2004, 02:06 PM

all joking aside, see my signature Sly

Now my best sponsor, I've been promoting it only 8 weeks and it does better tna almost all my porn sponsors together (well ... not THAT good, but pretty darn close!)

**Don't waste your time much promoting the ringtones though, as the market is pretty saturated, but the GAMES are VERY HOT right now, and pretty much sell themselves at $2.99 each with a selection of 109 games!

(most local phone carriers are charging their clients $8-12 per game, and only have 10 or 15 to choose from)

I think one of the things you can do in adult is you can create a good bit of traffic without spending tons of money. In mainstream its all about buying traffic. Thats what I did for a living with a mainstream .com before I did adult.

Yes that is quite true in alot of things - esp. my casino ( www.lucky-dice.com ) I spend upwards to $500 some days with PPC campaingns, but I make maybe $900, so I look at it as the cost of doing business. Gotta spend money to make money.

So true. Adult traffic (TGP/Freesite) is so much cheaper than good retail traffic (mainstream).

But I am not convinced it is more productive.

Nice thing about mainstream, is that if I spend $500 in PPC, I can predict what I will make with my sponsors withing a pretty narrow margin of error. Adult is all over the boards. Good one day, and sucks ass the next.

You can't compare the two though. Good mainstream traffic to the right site can convert better than just about any porn traffic.

Mr Pheer · 08-01-2004, 02:33 PM

I've noticed that if you're any good with adult SEO traffic... you can really kick ass with non adult, or at least I can. The listings are much easier to get, I guess from having much less competition.

good thread.

only mainstream i do is for my ad agency clients and they just pay for traffic. they dont care if it converts. they'll spend a hundred grand in a week just to spread word of a new product.

only mainstreamer i know of is my mom actually. her and my sis have some crazy ebay scheme going thats making them about 5k a week. not bad for a couple housewives!
