ynuahayt - Adult Webmaster

I got my start in adult by joining Netpond.com through a link from their dreaded arch-enemy GetPaidForum.com (which is all about the most scammy stuff online Paid-to-click email programs, ppc search engine “we search for each other” kind of stuff and more scams - yeah I’ve been tricked I was young what can I say?).

Netpond pays you points to post (I think it’s 5/post) and I think this is kinda stupid but I understand them since they have obviously found a business model where it pays to give away nickels to all these post-whores who fuels the forum and makes it attractive for advertisers to get their stuff on there (thoughit’s not all these post whores who’ll make the sponsors sales - I’d love to see some stats from an advertising campaign on NEtpond/GFY - was it worth it?).

They’ve started a new contest that goes a little something like “Put up a ton of business threads and we’ll vote for the best ones at the end of the month”. That’s kinda cool - it increases the amount of threads that you might actually find some use for AND people might be giving away more info than normal since they have a $ incentive to do so.

But it’s screwed. There are 3 nominees for this month’s contest. One of them just hit me up on ICQ, did the usual ICQ “Hi. How are you? Good. Listen I need your help.” BS routine and I just let him go on and on about this contest and I should check out the tutorials and that I should vote and that he was XXX on there.

I talked to the dude one time before, can’t remember the conversation and he hits me up like we’re friends and I’d of course vote for a friend to earn some cash. yeah right. On days like these I just can’t get enough of the adult arena of the interweb!

1. It’s okay to be a smut peddler - 99% of the girls in the flicks LOVE what they’re doing and wouldn’t get a half-decent job if they were able to!

2. I’m just gonna copy the rest of those guys with TGP’s/Blogs/Blog Directories (frickin’ popping up everywhere!)/Next fad and of course I too will make big $$$!

3. I’m not lazy - I just need to refresh the forum one extra time to see what that dude is gonna reply to my “I’d hit it!”/Joke of the day/I’m calling my mom out!-thread.

4. I got a brain - I just leave it besides my PC and only pick it up again when I’ve finished today’s task of making boring-ass-sales-text-on-another-template-site-that-will-make-my-surfers-run-away-in-horror and then hit the boards to bitch how I’m making no sales!

5. I sent 4000 (hitbottin’, 404 trafficin’, lame “click here now 4 FREE PORN!” TGP’ing) clicks to sponsor X and I’ve not seen a sale yet!!! Shaving CUNT of a sponsor!

Agree yes?

I’ve heard stories about how TGPs worked back in the day where it was all about jerking the surfer around from one TGP to another using extremely high skim which must have been very frustrating but of course geat for building huge TGP sites that probably were profitable because everything that spread its legs was back then.

Today I see a new circle jerk but this one is not going on between the webmasters and the surfers. The circle jerk of 2006 is between the webmasters and the sponsors!

The sponsors giveaway more free content to their affiliates because the affiliates demand it because that is the only way they think they can make sales: By plastering one TGP after another with XXX galleries that gives the surfer everything he wants and leaves the affiliates and sponsors with no sales - great let’s put out some more free content and see if some of it sticks this time!

Too many adult webmasters follow the tutorials, the advice of old-schoolers who’re still teaching newbies the same things they did in 2000 and generally turns their brains off when they do work it seems. And then they come running to the boards with bad conversion ratios, slamming sponsors and not realizing that they themselves are at fault for their failure.

Therefore stop the circle jerk of 2006, be creative with your sites, come up with new concepts that have newer been seen before - most importantly sell porn in a new way! And don’t tell me there are only so many ways to sell people fucking because that is just a lie you’re telling yourself. Think about it real hard, use weeks/months if you have to because once you have a real original idea that you know will work you’ll be going all the way to the top with it I’m sure!

Today I’ll discuss why I think it’s important to set up goals no matter at what level you are in the online adult game. This also holds true whether or not you’ve gone fulltime.

When I started out with my online work over a year ago I was so psyched in the beginning when I made my first sale and just the thought of being able to make a living selling porn online was pretty damn cool to me as it is to many adult webmasers. But then when you realize that the first sales might have been lucky and when more sales just don’t continue to roll in you might start to become frustrated over your performance and begin to despair.

And it’s then that you need to realize that you’ll get nowhere with any motivation or goals to go after. In a later post I’ll get into goal setting techniques I’ve used and which has worked for me but for now I’ll just say this: Longterm goals are extremely important in any business and the ability to not just be here for the quick bucks is essential if you wanna get anywhere in the competetive environment of the adult online market today.

That’s it for today - I’ll be back with some examples of my goal setting very soon so stay tuned!

I’ve been selling porn online for a little over a year now and what I’ve realized over this period of time is that if there’s one thing you have to battle to be succesful online (and in life generally!) then it’s the horrible diseases of laziness, discouragement!

When you look around at the various webmaster boards you might sometimes spot a thread with one of the big dogs posting his stats and you have a horde of people coming on and saying “Nice stats! Very inspiring post - I wanna get to that level!”. Blah blah blah is what that is and you know it - that right there is not real motivation on any level because let me tell you this:

Real motivation to work your ass off and be successful comes from the inside!

Only you and no one else can make you succesful in life and it’s not until you realize that and actively take action and responsibility for your own life that you’ll begin to move forward for good. I’m sure this is not news to most of you and some of the big dogs might read this and say: “D’oh! Of course!” - but that just proves my point: The guys that are pulling in 500 sales/month are the ones who have started to take responsibility for their life, who have a plan/goals and are disciplined enough to follow their goals religiously.

I’ll be posting more motivational articles and some stuff on goal setting too here at my blog so stay tuned! The advice I’m posting here are all things I’ve learned about and started doing in this last year and that has worked for me so it might just also be what you’ve been looking for to get your ass on the fast track .

See you back soon!
