    Default building an empire...

    im sure thers girls on here doing some of these things as we speak, so can anyone tell me if it s ALL worht the effort before i start shelling out a few grand...


    i want to start a website, pay site, guys can view pics, and video footage, ill sell ( eww) used underwear ( hey theres a market) dvds other bits and pieces... ill have my club schedual up there, and ill do out bookings/strippergrams ( with driver)

    ill hand out business cards with site name on and pics. advertise around..pay the extra for google thingie so i get pushed to the top-ish

    im hoping that maybe within a year, ill be generating enough income to only have to do outbookings and maybe one night per week at work.


    does this sound possible, or am i dreaming too much??

    ive searched around SW about site things, and bridgette i know you have had some experiance, has anyone else tried?

    I'm doing a paysite with the hopes of selling dvds and clothes, but I haven't thought of doing outbookings. Seems like too much trouble for me. I don't think I'd feel comfortable going alone (even with driver).

    I don't think you are dreaming. I think it all CAN be done. Just don't rush it, make sure everything is done right with one thing before you go on to the next.

    It is very possible. I've been rebuilding my own empire for about a year now, and when I lived in So Cal I was helping to build the (web) empires of others. If you ever need help, or want me to advertise your empire on mine, lemme know!

    I think in the next few years,yes.
    Your doing a wise thing now and covering all bases when it comes to the future of the sex industry.
    To think the internet isnt something you should add to your business(the business of you)is just silly for those of you who can do it right now.

    Im not talking about just posting a few nudes of ya so guys can polish thier spokes,im talking about interactive web sites.

    If your working the site,as in chat rooms and live cams,it could exclude 1 day a week from your work schedule even now.
    :NOTE:Im not talking about dildo shows or anything that isnt done on the clubs now.Im talking about cultivating your client base that cant possibly make it into the clubs often.

    :example:
    some guy from ohio comes into your club in Texas.He falls in love with you and spends money.
    He goes home to ohio and wont be back for 3 months.
    He signs up on your site for whatever money you rate,then gets to woo you for months before he gets there to spend even more money with you when he comes back.

    Its perfect.
    The internet should be used with what you are doing today.
    doesnt matter if its pre selling or follow up selling.

    Its making money,at home,after you put the kids to bed in the next room.

    I am also building a site similar to what you describe. We should trade links and cross-promote!

    ive got WAY too many ideas about what i want my site to do, and im getting abit worried that im gonna end up getting over my head!!


    i wanna have a site with different levels of membership...ie gold would be more hardcore then silver, pics, short videos, selling dvds, selling wallpapers and cellphone pics,used undies, have an auction bit -they can bid on anything ie the bikini i wore in such and such a shoot,a few email addys for feeback etc, open forum, blah blah. i could go on forever!!! lmao

    Whoa kinda high. I had a site for phone, cam and naughty pictures about 4 years back. I had all the goodies. Before i knew it i had to have a friend keep up with emails, pictures etc. I did get in over my head. I had a link on Richards Realm, whew, there was no way i could keep up with all those requests for panties, pictures and app. for phone sessions.

    It will take alot of you're time. You HAVE to keep it fresh. So my IP started taking over for me, and charged me a fuckin fortune....I let my domain expire after 1 year. it was Not , that was taken.

    Mermaid,

    $20,000 is way too much. I have a site and although it is different from what you want to do it was no where near 20Gs. My site is with plenty of space for video - (only have 2 1/2 minutes video on there now, but can put a ton). My webmaster was fantastic, even taught me how to do dreamweaver so I can update my own site without his help - so I don't have to pay him everytime I want to mix it up.

    If you want to ask me any questions privately regarding costs, webhosts, search engines, etc, feel free to do so. If I don't know the answer, I can also try to find out.

    did you ever think of having a second name? then you could have had... lol or somehting like that....heh

    i was told, that cos i wanted all the extras it would get bumped up in price for all the things i want. and i have my heart set on the big site, i dont know if i can make it smaller and offer less features..

    What - they quoted you $20,000?!!! I got quoted $1,500 for pretty much the same thing which included a photo shoot and the guy is very good (works within the entertainment industry) I wonder if he gave me a special rate cos he's a friend of my now ex boyfriend? I'll see if I can find out.

    A beautiful woman who talks all funny like"toss a shrimp on the barbi"n stuff,will make a friggin mint here in the states.
    Olivia Newton John.
    Grease is this word.
    Its a major fantasy of men of money bearing age here in the states.

    Why not stay close to home and loved ones and reach them via the internet and your web site?

    Look at your avatar,why limit your exposure to any one country?

    I've sold sites for that much before. Depends on if you want all of your graphics done for you ahead of time, how many pages you want on your site, if you want a store, if you want memberships and member access, and if you want flash.

    It IS expensive, and you CAN get it for a lot less. You really just have to look and meet people who make sites. The higher quality the site, the more it will cost you, but I think that you can get what you want for a LOT less than 20 grand.

    I am working on this right now. I've already got a site that's been up for almost a year. I just filmed my first DVD that is being edited right now. I just obtained my federal employer ID number and retailers license, so I can sell the DVD's, as well as panties and such.
