Back from the dead... Now what?
 

OK, so I didn't really die. But after several years running sites as a side hustle, I mostly stepped away from the business in 2013. Now I'm contemplating getting back in if it's worth it. Not sure if GFY is still the best place to ask, but I'll give it a shot.

My story: I was an affiliate and ran a small network of blogs and a model directory. I probably put in 10-15 hours a week and at peak I was making around $1500 a month. Definitely not fuck you money but enough to buy a few nice things, take a few nice trips, etc.

I had kids and my career also became more demanding so I largely gave up on this side hustle. I left a few of my most popular blogs up along with the model directory. Over the years, I've made the occasional update, more as a hobby, and typically when a specific scene or model caught my attention.

Where I'm at: Some of the blogs are niche specific and some are general hardcore. The posts are all custom text written by me along with 2-3 pictures and sometimes a video. I add 2-3 posts a year to each blog. The model directory has about 150 models in it with links to FHGs. I also add 2-3 girls per year to it.

Collectively I still get about 300 hits a day, mostly from Google and from some Twitter accounts running on autopilot (one with 35K followers, a few others with 4-8K followers). I still make about $1000 a year mostly from a combination of Chaturbate, solo girl CCBill sites and Gamma.

Kids are older, I'm working from home full time and my career requires less time, and I now find myself with some spare time every week. I'm not looking to get rich (though that would be nice), but I wouldn't mind turning that $1000 a year in to $5000 or more.

My ask: Is it still worth it? With what I have still running, can I turn that in to a few K per year? If so, should I make any changes? And where can I go for traffic nowadays? Or should I pivot to something else? Or invest my time in sometime mainstream instead?

Any advice or help would be appreciated, though I'm preferably not looking for bullshit sales pitches. Alternately, feel free to tell me to go fuck myself. Thanks!

Welcome back . . .

Can you do what you are doing, just more often? Like 5x the updates or 5x whatever you normally do to get traffic? Is it possible to scale what you are doing or do you feel like you would need to do something different? Hope this helps and good luck :)

Go fuck yourself :)
Also, there's money to be made despite everyone saying porn is dying.

before you do ANY of the above, take a moment to relax and self soil yourself... It will relax you and ease your transition back into the adult space... :2 cents:

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Welcome back ;)

Welcome back, I hope to find what you are looking for.
Getting traffic? see sig.
Good luck

you mention making money with gamma and some solo girl sites, are you linked to centroprofits.com with 1000´s of models on the same site, and welcoming you to search me, NatalieK if you do sign up to centroprofits :thumbsup

What was your peak monthly income during 2006-2010?

Look into botting IG

Welcome back :)

Welcome back ;)

Welcum back

The updates can definitely be scaled since each blog only gets 2-3 posts a year. I don't really think by current traffic generation methods can be scaled. My SEO skills need a lot of sharpening and though my Twitter accounts continue to get new followers, Twitter as a traffic source has gone down a lot with the proliferation of models promoting Onlyfans pages.

I took a peek and it looks interesting! I'll sign up and look you up.

Peak was about $5000 but it wasn't sustained for a long time. This was right in the early days of YouTube before the advent of tube sites. I'd post tease clips (non-nude) with a watermark and redirect the domain to PPS sites. Once Google bought YouTube, they started cracking down on this.

Sounds sketchy.

You can try to update them regualry and see how it goes.

paysites still sell. fetishes aren't well served and never will be (constant change of demand). there's always money in fetish paysites.
