    Default Your Own Porn Site

    I built my site earlier this year but didn't do anything w/ it ... it was me and I just didn't hook up w/ the photographer in Vegas. Well I'm heading back to Vegas and hopefully in one month I'll be settled back in enough to have pics taken ... then I can finally launch my site ... vids will come later.

    I'm curious how many girls have their own porn site (pics and/or vids)? Oh .. I don't mean pics/vids that's uploaded on a particular site and they take a cut like clips4sale.com, but your very own site that either you built/maintain or you have a webmaster do it for you. I know the internet is flooded w/ porn (free & paid) so I would imagine it really comes down to marketing, as well as offering quality pics/vids. If you've got your own porn site, I'm just wondering how it's working out for you w/ making money? And how often are you uploading new content?

    If you rather not post publicly feel free to pm me. Thanks!

    I have a paysite that I designed myself. I use the rude.com embeds for my gallery and videos and the streamate embed to do my members shows. My "secret diary" is a wordpress install that matches my site exactly.

    I update a minimal of one video and one picture gallery a week. This is nessesary to keep my embeds active.

    In order to produce any income from your own site you will need traffic and lots of it. Read the thread about it in this area. To get the traffic you will need to brand yourself - meaning people need to know who you are and want to search for you.

    So the real question is how do I let people know who I am.... My fiance is a pornstar and has had her own site that she has been maintaining and running herself since 2000. She has whats called "organic" traffic coming from Google where people are directly searching her name. That traffic then goes to one or more listings on Google -- her website, her Wikipedia page, her social networking pages (Twitter, Myspace, Facebook ect) as well as a bunch of torrent and tube sites.

    If you do not want to develop this type of traffic then you are going to need to join a program (50/50 split) of joined sites that can push traffic to you from their affiliates. I recommend against this but developing a brand and organic traffic is a long term and time consuming process - think years. Since you arent a pornstar you wont have immediate traffic. You can always do several movies to get your name out there and start pushing traffic on sites like Freeones. You can post on other message boards where guys that watch and pay for porn hang out. You can build your social networking sites to where you have a nice following. (25,000+ friends) You can start and maintain a blog that you update daily. All these things are going to push potential clients to your site. The problem is most will not be paying clients.

    You will need to understand design elements and how to convert that surfer into a paying client. Thats not easy when the conversion rate is about 1 in every 400-1000 visitors.

    So to get to 100 paying clients you will need to push around 100,000 unique visitors to your website each and every month. And you need to retain your established clients so you can grow. In order to do that you need to update your site with at least 1 new video and 1 new picture gallery per week. Better if its 2 per week. BTW - pics dont sell only video does. And I wouldnt launch a site until you have at least 20 videos and picture galleries up on your site. And with 20 you could probably only charge about $9.99 a month depending on what the content was.

    The best way to sell the site though is live cams and personalized interaction. Give your members free cam shows 3 times a week. Write to them yourself. Be a huge part of your site and you will do fine. Its going to take a year or two to see a real return on your efforts, but it can pay the rent after that and continue to do so for years.

    Good-luck !!

    Sigh....

    PL. I adore you...breath of fresh air.

    So...A few things I'll cover soon, but haven't yet...the traffic figures you quote are for median targeted traffic I'm assuming. Not junk traffic, blind links, TGP traffic, etc.

    In other words guys, he's talking search engine traffic and other high quality traffic, as well as other SOMEWHAT targeted traffic. Not junk traffic. Starting a pay site is a bitch unless and until you have a name, and then it is still not "easy".

    THAT is one of the main jobs of a promoter...Getting you from the place you sit now, to being a person who can open a pay site and actually get paid. Trust me, I have a million secrets and it STILL isn't easy. Making you $1000+ per week every week on webcam....easy....making you an adult icon with a site that banks...tough...THAT is the challenge. So when you say "I just don't have time to do that stuff Bambalina" you are saying, "I will never probably have a really good high paying site for myself Bambalina", because that is what I hear...You all need to learn a whole bunch. Seriously.

    pornlaw ... you're AWESOME!

    I have been brainstorming on ways to drive traffic to my site ... although it's been quite limited what I've been able to come up w/ so far ... and now thanks to you I have other methods. YAY!

    Since I'm the web-master and I love being online, working on my site, researching, etc ... I know this will take A LOT of time to get going ... fortunately I am a patient woman. I'm just excited to get my site on it's feet and see what I can do w/ this baby!

    My deepest gratitude for all your help!

    AB & Bam -- Thank you both ! I appreciate that. I try to share any of the knowledge I have acquired about different aspects of the industry over the past 7 yrs. Having clients in just about every aspect of the industry gives me a backstage pass to see and learn a lot.

    And yes Bam I am talking about quality organic traffic. Traffic that can actually convert. All that other easy to acquire traffic isnt worth the money spent on it. I have seen clients buy hundreds of thousands of visits with little to nothing to show for it.

    AB - there are so many ways to get traffic that are relatively cheap and easy but as Bam said you need to be an icon and even then it isnt easy. Vanessa has been working on her site for 10 yrs. It might be one of the longest running porn sites on the internet. And yet she sits across the table from me redesigning the site on her own for probably the 5-6th time. Why ? Because porn websites are no longer a business of "build it and they will come (cum)" Its become fiercely competitive. And the big boys have moved in and have money to spend. Building a site now is like trying to stake a claim in Sutter's Mill in 1851. There's still gold there but its scarce.

    The best advice I can give is to be completely interactive with your members. They are there to see you. The closer you are to your member the closer you are to his wallet. So many site owners forget that simple fact.

    I've got to admit ... I didn't think about being interactive. Thank you again!
