				Investing 100k into the web - What would you do?
			 I have bought lots of sites but they are all smaller. Is there a way to place 100k at one shot and not buy some crap cirlce jerk TGP? Do the bigger sites have network of buyers that i am not privy too? I think I lack the skills for a paysite but maybe that is the next step. Otherwise it is more office/wharehouse. |

				 | Traffic is nice, but from where? Too vague of an answer. Lets say you spend $25k of it on a hardcore movie paysite that you build, complete with 40 to 50 good quality exclusive scenes. Obviously traffic is step two. But from where? SE traffic is obviously the most desired. But who sells it, what GFYers have had good personal experiences working with traffic-merchants, etc? That's what I'd be curious to hear as I've always generated traffic myself via TGPs or other trades. But for the next step up on the food chain, those that purchase quality SE traffic, where do you go?

				 | I'd buy some semi-exclusive content, and several TGPs. Have the TGPs feed into each other and the paysite, then bring in a bunch of outside traffic from other TGPs, hardlinks, and search engines.

 To add to that then.... I would buy or develop paysites that fit the HUGE amount of traffic he has and open them without an affiliate program. If he has the traffic already, then learning to profit from in on both ends would be great.

				 | I have bought traffic from every source I could find. Traffic is awesome, and I buy every month. I was thinking more along the lines of buying a big tgp. Or a free site. Something that had bookmarkers and real surfers. My "other" traffic sources  are awesome but I do not have the knack of making them stick. I suppose with that money I could push a TGP to the size I wanted. Just buy a domain and feed the shit out of it for a couple of years. |

 Yeah, I guess thats what I was meaning. Own the traffic as in controling it on a number of tgps. I have talked with DamageX and others about it. Most all agree however, that its better to own a bunch of smaller tgps/mgps like 200k a day sites then one big one well usless that one big one as the Hun or something. haha! In my mind it all goes back to traffic and the ownership of that traffic. If a car does not have gas, it wont run. They are buying it somewhere ya know.

				 | funny, everybody so far went to the tgp end of the map. When I read "What would you do with 100k on the web"... I go a completely different direction.  Best wishes to ya Slapass, you're a smart guy - I'm sure you'll figure it out. |

				 | slapass, with your se rankings, I think you could do fairly well with your sites as far as tgp/mgp.  Maybe partner up with someone and have some niche paysites. You can get that traffic going to them with your se listings, have your partner be someone familiar with paysites and the backend of them etc. |

 icq 166708909 Really looking for ideas. Of course, I have stuff I am doing. I was very tempted by the paysite that just sold. Something like that would be a good fit. Something niche that I could drive traffic. I have some projects to create bookmarkers. So just looking at doing it quicker with a decent aquisition or a nice direction. | |

				 | What about buying a great type-in domain? If it has a good mass of typeins it should retain its value and make money over a relatively short term (under 2 years). WG

				 | at this moment there are more buyers than sellers on the market. If 2257 kicks in this might convert to more sellers than (qualified) buyers lol

				 | I'm not going to pretend I have all the answers here, but If I had 100,000 to spend in the market,  I know what I would look at first.  I'll give it to you in private in exchange for a thank you once your done. Nothing earth shaking, but just a trend I think I found. Its going to be a while before I'm competing on that scale, so I dont lose anything. ICQ: 231124768 |

				 | Dude... why would you spend 100K in the adult web without innovating? Spend the money either making something needed but not done yet or buy real estate with it that is in foreclosure. Then flip it for something bigger and not have to pay taxes on the gain.. keep going until it is worth 1 million (with an initial investment of 100K it won't be very long) and then move into larger chunks of real estate. |

				 | Shoot niche content, make video deals to license DVD & PPV, build several niche sites and start a small program.  Great content pays for itself.  Traffic is sometimes unpredictible.

 You've got: $100k You need: Five niche sites, affiliate program, promotional tools, hosting, etc. Major costs: (all just guesses, feel free to rip them up) -Building of the sites: Do it yourself? If not, say $5k. -Creation of all promotional material (20 x hosted tgp galleries, banners, other shit for each site, as well as a bunch of 30-second tgp/main tour-friendly movie trailers from your best content) I'll guess $3k. -License affiliate software: Just going to use CCBill crap? If not, say $5k. -Shoot 50 exclusive niche scenes (10 scenes per site) and license another 300 DVD/home-shot scenes (60 scenes per site). Avg licensed bulk scene = $25 per scene. Avg semi-exclusive private shoot scene = $500/ea.? Never had one shot myself, no idea here. If these numbers work, you're at $7.5k for the licensed content and say $25k for the 50 exclusives. -100mbps Hosting: Has to be Tier 1 I'd assume, say $35 per mbs, so $3.5k for the first month. Also assume you're going to be doing free hosted movie galleries, if not, you could reduce this figure. Let's see where we are so far. Sites - $5k Promos - $3k Backend Affiliate Software - $5k Content - $32.5k Hosting - $3.5k TOTAL - $49k So we're at nearly $50k, and there is no traffic yet for either the sites, or the affiliate program. Questions: 1. What am I missing? 2. How many affiliates could $50k buy in terms of advertising on webmaster boards, etc. Never been involved in one myself, wouldn't even know where to start, but say GFY/Ynot/etc. Typical avenues. Answer those two questions and you can then take the average affiliate signups per day figure (3?) and figure out gross rev.

 For security it's just getting Strongbox up and running, isn't that good enough? No idea what it costs, but it can't be very expensive. Affiliate rep I have no idea on, what is that Slap? On the 500% return, she's saying that she grosses $250k per year then? Is that before or after the affiliate split and other costs? We need some aces to help this thread out for once, but aside from generic info, none of them will post their ninja secrets publically. We'll have to take it to ICQ.

				 | After my last post I realise I need sleep. But hit me up tomorrow  icq 166708909. I think that was gross number. It was just huge. She has 6 sites now i think at tushycash and does very well. Lots of guys have one paysite and just push it themselves. Quiet and Sleazy come to mind. Aviods the affiliate rep and all the hassles with that. Bang out a nice site. update frequently. pics on tuesday and vid on friday. Use the marcd thread as gospel on how to crossale, upsale, email etc. and away you go. |

				 | oops, missed the key to marcd's thread. You need volume to redcue the cost of production over many members. You can make less per sale but be healthier with more members in the long run to spread the cost of updates etc. |

				 | before I'd start more paysites I'd build huge amounts of traffic in the niche so I can live very well of my own traffic I can not recommend anything else as far as the 100 grand goes... I had the same question come to my mind a few days ago I wanted to go with mainstream but then the question... where to go? where to find people selling their mainstream sites´.... and then I was lost I am missing resources here if anyone thinks he can help me here with urls and such please mail me. people who help me never regret having done so oh... as far as investment goes... I put $40k on a certificate that I think is going to make me a lot of money in the next year (and secure either  )... you might want to look into that market as well... |
