What free tools will you require for you to dabble in mainstream promo?
 

What kind of free tools would you need for you to try mainstream? I am thinking of a "just add a domain and traffic" approach. The webmaster just provides a domain and traffic, the rest comes from the sponsor.

Here's the freebies that come to mind (patterned after the adult model)

1) Free UNIQUE content (instead of generic articles or promo pages)--prevents SE duplicate content penalties.
2) Free site design. Initially based on templates then customized to your domain.
3) Free domain-based logo/identity customized to the theme of the site.
4) Free promotion tools
5) Your own pool of "on call" webmaster assistants (ie., promo designers and promo material creators)

Your thoughts?

Bumping for more adult webmasters diversify into mainstream

yup sounds good let's do it

Im mainstream.

They also call me mainstream Franck.

Applying adult innovations to the mainstream space. What other tools would adult webmasters like in pursuing mainstream sales?

Right on, Franck :winkwink: :thumbsup

Gene you have anything travel related? Looking to do some trades with other travel sites. Business travel works great.

i'd heavily promote something with those tools. :thumbsup

Interesting thread looking foward to the replies to this....


Good stuff as allways Gene :thumbsup

Sosa's post got me thinking... how about free tool / service that allows member webmasters to trade links with each other?

not really for me, but i'd be using SEO.. why would i want to pass link rep and PR to a competitor?

If done correctly with the right trade(s) - for traffic back that will buy some of the shit you're selling?

Surfers are leaving your site - THEY ARE LEAVING no matter what ... if they're not going to a sponsor or product your selling - why not send them somewhere you should get something back from instead?

It's what the adult business was biult on for the first 6-7 years and still goes on today albeit to a lesser degree than years past

:2 cents:

This raises an interesting new tool I'd like to develop. How to RECYCLE network traffic but NOT have webmasters compete with each other. Complementary traffic/Cooperative traffic vs. competitive traffic.

what are you promting?
sounds interesting

Hang tight, I'll announce it once we've launched and tweaked the site to maximize conversion ratios. I'll definitely follow the principle of: build the site around the traffic instead of the other way around. Another principle is... don't release an affiliate program unless it is already making money off your own promotions/traffic.

Right on, Right on.

Suggest more tools, guys. What adult industry tools do you use regularly that you'd like to use for mainstream promo?
