general comments / questions from a newb
holy f... and i thought looking for porn on the web was overwhelming!
this is my first serious look into the adult industry, and getting info from adult webmasters is like looking for a snowflake in a lake effect squal coming off erie. (wny'ers will get it ) ive been in the mainstream design and production of interactive and web for about 6 years, and thinking of diving into the industry. me and a few others are planning on hitting this from many angles, creating content, working tgps to help traffic, and another area (ill get more into it as we get closer to lauch) i joined here because i remember greenguy from one of the first days i browsed the web for porn oh-so-many years ago (actually, i just thought it was kool he was from buffalo) besides here, what other sources of information should i be checking out? ive already chosen to go with ccbill for our billing, ive got a lawer working on contracts, and i have a gallery system my programmer and i built. i want to drive traffic to my site as well as create a kinda (ive only seen one other like it) uniqe tgp that will drive content around. i need help in avoiding the cheaters and scumbags that are sure to try to take advantage of lil ol me. i guess if this were a mob flick, i would be 'asking for a sponser' hope it wasnt too wordy for a first post |

Oh boy...
A TGP doesn't need a biller, such as CCBill. A TGP (Thumb Gallery Post) lists gallery pages which are either submitted by other webmasters or provided by your sponsors. Galleries which are provided by sponsors are known as FHGs (Free Hosted Galleries). Here is GG&Jim's monster list of sponsors that you can sign up with. http://www.greenguysboard.com/resour...ors/index.html Personally, if I were you, I'd do a lot more research before I'd bother starting any type of site. There's a lot more to it than meets the eye.

thats why im still-a-diggin
i found my tgp answers here - http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/...ad.php?t=17887 didnt realize that they actually send checks at those levels, not dump them into an account. we were going to the ccbill setup for a content site were going to create (i have a few non-nude over 18 models) but im also reading that going with an AVS to start that may be a better idea (insteaed of ccbill)? (btw, the abuse.. yeah i need it.. theres still a ton to learn) |

nub, how long have you been doing research into the adult side of things? It is VERY different from mainstream marketing, at least when you're first starting out. And just when you have everything figured out, it all changes.

One thing that I've learnt from the adult boards is that not many mainstream w/ms hack it in adult, but a lot of adult w/ms do well in mainstream. Adult is a hard world where everyone thinks that the money is easy. When they discover that it's "easy go" rather than "easy come", a lot of them turn to cheating, which makes it even harder for everybody else.

I'm thawing out some kielbasa now. It's about 2.5 inches in diameter. Can't wait to throw it into some sauerkraut. (spelling?)

but enough talk of my sausage. we ran our little tpg site test and everything went fine. no major surprises. next is testing some of our own gallery software. on the content front, i have a few interviews with some amateur models. i resisted the temptation of going to stripclubs to ask girls, or calling modeling agencies. (thanks to the advise on many posts on the subject) so were going with 'friends of a friend' who have shown previous interest. in case anyones wondering, we're going after the non-nude over 18 niche market. so, hopefully in a few months, with a couple of content sites in place, some tgp and ll work to steer traffic around and a little piece of unique software we are lauching soon, we should be slowly moving on up. i forsee many long nites and headaches ahead.. wish me luck |

Hi nub
You may come to find .htaccess useful in the near future, therefore I'd forget using NT hosting. Apache is the way to go. Just thought I'd mention that before you get too far down the line.

Stupid risks make life worth living

To answer your question. Starting a paysite is not as easy nowadays as it used to be. Some "non nude models" won´t make it, I´m afraid. First thing is that you have to convince them doing porn, not an easy part. Reading is one thing, doing it another. If I were you, I would try something traffic building before launching a paysite. A nice thing to learn about paysites is building one with deluxepass or another one like them. there you can try out what will work without high costs. |
