If you were brand new just starting out in this business
 

what would you do to start? where would you begin? what would be your plan of action?

I guess I'm asking for your very own adult online business plans . I don't want your site secrets, just tell a brother where he should start if he wants to make some coin..

Tell me how to reach a goal of making $1k a month in adult - tried and proven methods

Sign up to ZooDollars.com - grab the free content, make 3 galleries per month, submit to TheHun.net and it should be sufficient.

Booty: Find hoes. Pimp them.

You're looking at an easy 10k, not 1k

Probably better off in fast food these days ...

zoodollars? i dont even want to know..please I can't sell illegal or otherwise mind disturbing shit..if it involves 2 consenting adults - that's hot. anything other than consenting adults - it's not

Something I suggest to every newbie who asks: Don't just jump in without any idea of what to do or how to do it. That's asking for disaster.

Read everything you can get your hands on, and not just the great articles and discussions you can find if you look, but also consider looking at some great mainstream marketing tactics. Learn, learn, learn.

Once you've read and absorbed as much as possible, start small. Don't just hot-foot it into a paysite; again, you're flirting with disaster. Try a few small free sites, learn to drive traffic to those and while you're at it, read and learn some more. Talk to some of the big names in the business, attend some shows and network, and you'll figure out what works and what doesn't much more cheaply than you would have had you started with a paysite.

Bottom line: Even the biggest successes were newbs once. Learn from them. :thumbsup

Traffic makes the world go around.

The best site or sponsor without traffic will make you Zero, while the worst site or sponsor with good traffic will make you little.


Find an honest sponsor. Find a good way to get traffic.

You can buy it or produce it, but you got to have it. It's the oxygen in this industry.



send me an ICQ if you need some advice about the sponsors. I have a few really good ones.

Lots of good info here...

http://www.webmastervault.com/tips.shtml

my free advice of the day:


1) decide what topic/niche you enjoy most

2) write down in some detail what you need to start a small paysite, bare bones and start aquiring those items

3) research where to find the best traffic for this niche/topic is and go get some

4) until your site is done, buy a few domains that are related to the topic you're into and build a few different sites/front ends going to a related sponsor's FPA/join page for now until you swap that shit out going to your own site...

5) go get more traffic, learn a lil SEO, buy some hits, do some traffic trades, etc....pump in the hits and keep working your site until it's done....don't worry about perfect, worry about WORKING and make it happen....





ok, that was way too much typing for me to be doing before the 1st pot of coffee is done....



type-atcha-later



PS: bottom line is having your own shit to sell with recurring and a bungload of hits, or just really fuggin qualified hits that work....either or both...

TheJimmy, why should a newbie start a paysite?

3 a month?wtf?

Traffic is the key bro, you need those visitors to your site(s) to get those dollars rolling so first thing i would do is get some traffic rolling. After that, filter your traffic the best way you can to make it profitable.

Really think about getting into this business.. It is a pain in the ass and usually 12 to 14 hours a day..

If you believe that ANYONE has built a mountian with a couple of hours a week, then dont even start in this business..

he wants $1k per month - so he doesnt need to work 12 hrs daily

okay, thanks guys so far ..traffic traffic traffic
how to i begin to generate this traffic?
I am good at almost any web development and what I can't do I have others who will help me. What do I build? Niche frontends? Whole Niche Sites?Galleries? Linklists?

ask pimpdog (was a newbie not long ago) & any other program owners if it's worth having a few paysites...




1) you control how it's sold, how it looks, how it converts...

2) you get recurring

and here's the most important parts:

3) you get the memberbase info

and

4) you can begin to build a salesforce selling your shit, that in the future if you come up with new shit to sell, you can reach out and touch them legitimately through your site/program's email update, bla bla bla...



3 and 4 are prime...




what happens to those people making BANK from one time sales to OTHER people's programs when those programs stop converting, dry up and blow away (ie ARS sites), etc?




this strategy works in areas other than adult

1) have somethign to sell
2) find people to sell it to
3) find people that will help you sell it for a cut....

No, I don't believe that at all. I'm willing to work many hours a day. I don't have any illusions about the level of work required, but if I can make even $100 extra a month from home with very little startup cost (compared to a brick and mortar) I think that is great.

I'd reccomend reading/researching ALL you can before strting. I made the mistake of jumping in blind, and wasting a lot of money.

After your done that, start with galleries :)
I would not recomment starting a paysite if you are very new to this biz...
Get a good recurring sponsor, and start designing galleries and submitting them to every tgp you can find :)

Eventually, people will notice you if your galleries are good, and offer some partner accounts (or you may have to ask yourself).

Be persistant.
Money won't come rolling in the first week, or maybe not even the first month. Stay with it, and it will work out for you.

:thumbsup

This is very possible.
I'm not sure how much you know about the biz thus far, but if you work your ass off, the money will eventually come.

Or just promote Media Tickets, they can make you millions a day.

TheJimmy, I think you make some great points and offer some excellent advice. I have a program that I have near completion that is geared borderline adult/mainstream. I will hopefully begin promoting that site here in a few weeks once we are ready to unveil. I will have affiliate system set up with Verotel.

I want to have more irons in the fire though also. Something more organic like promoting sponsor sites via whatever methods ...

you make sales this way?

Yea. Pick a recurring sponsor, not PPS :)
It really depends on how good of galleries you make if you go this way, and especially how good of a thumb you make.
You could submit to 100 thumb tgps, and only 1 or 2 of them will actually review your gallery, if the thumb isn't good. :)

Trial and Error, my friend.
Hit me up @ 97400700 and I could help ya out if you need help starting in the biz. It wasen't too long ago that I was in your position. ;)

i agree on what you said, but

1) he didn't say he want to make mad bling bling, just some extra money
2) to operate a paysite you get to have some general knowledge how this industry works, good business sense and motivation..and i am not sure if he has all ( or any ) of them -->see 1)

Only very few ppl start with paysite and very few of them succeed.....I have seen many paysites that totally suck and noone is promoting them and even their owner would earn more promoting a sponsor that his non converting paysite.

I don't own any paysites ( i got a big motivation problem :( ) but i think i would know how to run one...
But i think i got a good business sense, i got some experience in this industry in general and i've read really really a lot.

If he starts a paysite without knowing what's a tgp or simply understanding how things work ( how traffic can be generated, how different marketing techniques work ), he will probavbly lose all money.

wondering the same thing... :helpme

I agree with all of what you said Tala, except this:

** unless they were plied with mafia money at startup ;-)

3 galleries a month = 1000 $ ? You convert well :)

I don't think so, I did that when I started! Man, I got burned!

If I should start all over again, I'll do AVS sites! Works for me, and still does!!

Not me but bestiality converts...i posted this as a joke, but the more i think about it................. :anon

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

if you build it, they will cum
