does anybody have time to give me tips about starting a paysite?
 

hey guys,
as Ive mentionned in many previous posts, I am very interested in stating my first paysite within the next 6 months

but I've still alot to learn!

would anybody here be kind enough to guide me through how a paysite works, what ppl want on paysites, and all the rest?

I will find some way of repaying you once Im in business :thumbsup

thanx for everybody who is willing to teach a bit!

dont waste your time or your money ...

contact Mark Tiarra

He will design you a paysite that WILL convert, and he will do it at YOUR budget.


BTW think about it ... these people all cringe at the thought of competition, you really think they are going to give you good advice?

:thumbsup

some people are nicer and more generous than others

also, does mark tiarra have a portfolio? I would like to see if hes as good as you say he is :thumbsup

Great.
All you need a kick-ass design to make a successfull paysite. I hope you're gonna write some guide to make paysites too, I can hardly wait. :)

awesome! checking it out right away!

spam

This thread really illustrates how it's all about perspective.

1. No Partners Excluding Affiliates

2. Exclusive Content

3. Not something that everyone else is doing

4. No Popups

5. Weekly Updates w/calendar in member area

6. A Real simple easy to load plain text tour, surfers dont care how fancy your site is they care about the content

7. Dont under-estimate surfers many can jerk off to your 30 second trailer, make sure you really really are careful while building trailers

8. Dont judge conversion based on Exit Traffic or all those so called Traffic Brokers

9. Don't shoot your content out of the country when you start out regardless of how good the deals are.

10. Use as many models as possible, and show them all in the tour. Not everyone likes blondes etc.

11. A Real Host

12. A real billing company

13. If you plan on pinching pennies on stuff like Billing and hosting and shooting quality content you are better off not getting into this.

14. Do not spam

15. Do not Kill

16. One shall not....

lol 1000 bucks they say you can have a good website, come on

You should try to do a niche that you are interested in. If not, do make sure that you research it and find surfer board pertaining to it that you can watch for six months . :)

make a paysite that YOU would join and remain a member of

that would be a lesbian paysite
but I dont have any lesbian domains, nor did I find any I liked after countless hours of dotster search :(

Why ?

if you still think that domains matter you need to rethink everything

this is from my own experience as well as other webmasters and pretty much the advice of attorney richard chapo (adultinternetlaw.com)

tons of legal issues to deal with especially at a time when the feds are lose and trying to lock people up on 2257 related issues.

well Im not gonna put a lesbian paysite on a domain like www.wantsmut.com. that sounds stupid to me, maybe it isint

some of the most successful paysites are on BS domains, like I said the surfer does not care about design and domains

Think

then again, only because I like lesbians more than other categories doesnt mean I dont like the others as well and that I cant make a nice paysite for that category

I still have alot of thinking to do about my project, I need to learn about every detail first =)

I use to own lickalesbian.com but I let it expire since I decided not to do any lesbian sites.


You can see if they would sell it to you.. It's not being used for porn...

[email protected]

escortbiz, I was just wondeirng
do you have customer support on your paysite? (thought just passed in my head)

try to email anytime day or night see how fast you get an answer, this is not the only paysite I run

real cool :thumbsup
what about phone number? you provide live support?

"Lesson #2 - Understanding the Needs of a Paysite
A paysite is an investment. There is no way to open a competitive paysite without spending a minimum of $1000.00. The days where one could have 250 good pictures and make decent money off memberships is gone. Today's paysite has thousands of updated images, full-length video streams, live chat with models and many..."

I'd say that site could use an update. That number should be at least $10,000 in today's market.

They did the design for Kara's, arguably the most successful paysite in the history of paysites, that alone should tell you how good they are :winkwink:

Bottom line is unless you know enough that you don't have to ask anyone questions, or unless you have the cash to hire a consultant like Tiarra or KimmyKim to walk you through things, you're not ready to start a paysite.

impressive :thumbsup

whats mark tiarras website please?

Mark Tiarra's site is http://www.lumyr.com and he's great. :thumbsup

thanx alot buddy :thumbsup

That girl doing the pose is hot on marks site.... damn

I would Highly reccomend Mark Tiarra for any of your design needs ! TOP Notch professional ! And has been around since the beginning.

Mark just came out with an ebook on paysites -

I got mine

not sure if this links on his site but here is the book!

You can tweak your paysite to run so smooth that you can more or less avoid support issus. Having said that you can find your self kneehigh in capital letters emails from more or less enraged members at any time (usually AOL noobs).

So get ready for 24 hour a day support jour, or rent support but that as so much else will drive up your overheads.

Most third party billing companies have a 48 hour support clause. Ie your bound to give support response within 48 hours or risk loosing their service.

A paysite is like a greedy baby screaming for breastfeed around the clock. And still there might be little of value pooping out in the other end:Graucho

I have found promotion to be the hardest and most time consuming part. Making a kick ass site is relatively easy.

you should never start a paysite with the check Lens owes you!

the design should be THE LAST to worry about on a paysite
