I might as well have called this post “Things that amazes me in the adult business”. Most of us new Adult Webmasters keep on churning out TGP galleries and free sites, just the same old, same old. I do (I hope you do too!) realize that I will never get rich off this - I’m too green to get all the mega traffic partner accounts and both ways of marketing are heavily saturated because well everyone does ‘em!
Now I know there are arguments like “Galleries/free sites are a great way to get into the biz, get to know people etc.” and to a certain point I agree. But how about sitting down for a month, reading about all your options, ask questions on Netpond and generally getting to know the biz. You could also make some galleries and other pages to get some basic skills (HTML/image editing etc.) if you lack these. And then use your imagination and come up with an idea that goes beyond the normal stuff newbies do and which you believe would work!
I’ve been trying new things lately and here’s two things that has been cool - not major earners but just something that shows there’s a lot of money out there besides TGP/free sites.
I found a niche forum by using google and have been posting there like all the other surfers do - you know like “Hey when I was surfing xxx.com for porn I just found this foot fetish gallery - hot stuff don’t you think!?” - Gallery of course has my linking code, you get the picture.
Here’s my stats for less than half an hour of work:
4 sales at a conversion ratio of 1:18! And this is revshare so people will probably be rebilling for a long time couze they *love* the niche.
Second example - I recently setup a blog where I pretend to be a crazy swinger/dater/webcam sex obsessed woman. The site has only had around 1000 unique visitors but none the less those few visitors have produced a $50 sale and a ticket @ Pussy Cash - ratio? 1:37.
Now I know that those ratios could be pure luck and that I need much more traffic to the sites before I can really tell how good they’re performing but my point is this: Remarkable results can quite possibly be achieved by asking yourself if you still wanna be submitting galleries at this time next year? I’ve been in this biz for one year now and submitting galleries/free sites is becoming boring - why stick to the same methods of generating income when there’s a ton of new ones out there YOU can invent!
Thanks for your time
