Step 3a – What Hosting Package Should I Choose for My Adult Website

Posted on by
Reply

When it all comes down to it, there are really only two types of hosting packages to choose from these days; Windows and Linux. I use Linux and  Citrex usually when hosting adult content.

Because of some of the software we’re going to use to run our website, we want Linux. We need PHP, MySQL, FFMpeg and a few other things that work best on Linux, so make sure you don’t get set up on a Windows account. If you already have Windows hosting, I would  try to setup your site on that then if you end up having troubles, you can always request a switch to Linux.

You can get an appropriate hosting plan by choosing the basic package  here:

Step 6 – Get Adult Video Content for Your Site

Now things should start getting a little more exciting. You site is online and it’s time to fill it up with videos for every tom dick and harry to log on and start enjoying!

So, where do we get these videos?

You could grab a camera, put an ad in the paper for some “models” and start shooting. This seems like it would be a whole lot of fun, but not so easily executed AND it would take years to compile the amount of content that some of these other sites have. Redtube.com, xtube.com, youporn.com, xhamster.com, xvideos.com and the like don’t shoot their own adult videos anyways. They all use what we call affiliate content.

And so can you!

There are a number of companies out there that specialize in creating original content and they need people like you and me to promote their programs so they can make money and continue to make more original adult content for the masses to enjoy. In order to further promote their products, they let adult webmasters use portions of it on their websites. AND if someone clicks through your website and purchases one of their products, THEY WILL PAY YOU a tidy commission. That’s a win win situation if I ever saw one.

Here’s more info on  how you can sign up to get your own free affiliate content!

Why Start a Porn Site

There are only really two reasons to start up a porn site.

  1. You like porn
  2. You like money

Both perfectly valid reasons. No business venture can be successful if it’s not able susteain itself and in order for a business to sustain it’s self it must make money. Money to pay for overhead costs and money to pay the operator (aka you). And believe me when I say that you will try much harder to make your new porn business sustainable if you like porn.

So that’s the magical formula to get you started, you must like porn and like money. Now you’re on your way to being an adult site webmaster!

The only question now is:

  1. What do I do now?
  2. How do I get started with my new porn website?
  3. What kind of expenses and start up costs are involved for an adult webmaster?
  4. What kind of adult website will I build?
  5. How will I get content for my new adult website?
  6. How do I make money from my new porn site?
  7. What are the legal considerations for running a porn web site?

OK, so there are actually a lot of questions now.

In the following articles, I will do my best to explain these as I document my journey in building my own adult web site. We will cover everything from technical issues to expense issues to the most exciting part, getting adult content to display on your website and collecting money you’ve earned through your new porn site.

I do best when i’m answering questions, so leave comments! I will answer them and maybe cover some in an article.

First Step to Market Your Porn Site

Now it’s time for the first step in getting visitors to come check out what your porn site has to offer! To get moving on this we need to have what I like to call a “plan” in place. This isn’t a full fledged marketing plan, but more of a set of guidelines that will keep you focused while you perform  your various marketing tasks.

Luckily, just by having a website you’re already almost finished this step.

Define your Product (a.k.a. Porn Site)

In order to market our site we need to know exactly what it is that we’re marketing. Back in Step 1: Choose a Name you chose a name for your porn site based on a number of factors. During this process you probably also defined a specific subject matter and hopefully picked a bit of a niche for the kind of content you were going to display.

Let’s say your site is called: GirlfriendMovieTheatre.com

I’m willing to bet that you’re content is going to be strictly movies. It will be only amateur. And will be younger girls in pov shots from taken by their boyfriend.  We could define our site with a position statement like:

GirlfriendMovieTheatre.com
Watch real amateur girlfriends  filmed by their exes.
This is a little bland for now, but it’s a starting point that does its job. It tells anyone reading exactly what to expect when visiting your site. It also gives you a clear direction when gathering content for your site.

This new “positioning statement” we’ve created allows us to create a clear path in our marketing.

  1. Define our audience
    Who is it that wants to watch real amateur girlfriends filmed by their exes.
  2. Define our marketing channels
    Where and how do these people look for real amateur girlfriends filmed by their exes
  3. Determine Organic SEO guidlines
    What terms are these people using to search for real amateur girlfriends filmed by their exes
  4. Improve our site
    How do we make sure we stay on target and are there any better providers of real amateur girlfriend content our there

OK, no real marketing yet, but if you answer these questions for your self in the beginning it will be much smoother sailing as we continue down the path to porn site success!

The old “Build it and they will come.” line does not even come close to working on the web.

It’s not easy to get thousands of visitors looking at your porn site, but that is exactly what you need to do. So here’s a quick list of the different ways to get traffic to your site!

  1. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
  2. Banner ads through an ad network
  3. Link partners
  4. Social media
  5. Referrals from visitors
  6. Pay per click advertising
  7. Buy it from a traffic company

More to come! Give me a comment if you think of any I missed.

Step 2: Register your Domain Name

Once you’ve decided on a name you need to register that name with a domain registrar. The registrar is what gives you ownership of your domain name. You can register for as little as 1 year at a time all the way up to a 10 year registration.

If you’re not sure where to register your porn site domain name try GoDaddy (If you buy today you pay only $5.99 for a .COM). They’ve got the best prices and best service if you ever need it!

Domain registration is  inexpensive and I usually only register for 1 year at a time with an automatic renewal. Be careful with this though, because if your credit card expires your domain will not renew at the end of the year and your domain will expire as well.

Let's Get Back to Business. Start with a $1.99 .COM from GoDaddy.

Steps to register:

  1. Type in your desired domain name and TLD here (a tld is the suffix at the end of your domain name: .com, .net, .tv etc)
  2. If your name isn’t available, you can change the TLD or modify the name slightly to something that is available.
  3. Once you’ve found the name you want, set up an account follow the steps to complete the registration.
  4. Do not choose any hosting options at this stage, just register the domain name and nothing else. If you don’t want your name to show up in any public records about this domain, be sure to choose the private registration option.
  5. Keep all emails you get from the registrar and put your login and password in a place where you can find it, even if it’s a year down the road. If you lose this information it will be hard to get it back again later.


Let's Get Back to Business. Start with a $1.99 .COM from GoDaddy.

You’re all set. Now you just need to set up some porn friendly hosting.

UPDATE: Check out the new screen cast video tutorial for registering your domain at godaddy.

Step 4 – Install WordPress the Backbone of your Adult Porn Site

So you have your web hosting set up, you have your domain name, and you have your domain pointing to your web site. You’re ready to install the software that is going to serve as the framework of your soon to be launched porn web site!

WordPress

WordPress is a versatile open source blog engine that is being used for everything from standard content management, to management of blogs like Perez Hilton, to managing adult websites likeBig Boob Tube!  This software is perfect for our new porn site for a couple of reasons:

  1. It’s free
  2. There are a million free plugins available for it. There are even wordpress plugins made fro adult webmasters
  3. It’s stable, reliable and easy to use
  4. It’s free

To install WordPress, you have a couple of options.

If you set up your hosting account with Citrex, or some other hosts that use the Cpanel control panel you can install wordpress directly from the control panel.

Check out a video tutorial of this here.

  1. Login to your control panel
  2. Click on Fantastico de Lux
  3. Then Click on WordPress in the menu on the left
  4. Now follow the instructions to complete your installation
  5. Leave the field “Install in directory” blank
  6. Don’t forget the admin username and password you choose
  7. When this finishes loading, open a new browser window and type in your domain name. If you see a screen that looks like this you’ve successfully installed WordPress!

That should do it. If you don’t have the Fantasico option you might need a little knowledge about FTP to get the job done. The WordPress install file can be found here:

http://wordpress.org/download/

And some instructions for a manual install can be found here:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress

Installing this way should give you the same result and with that you’re halfway there!

 

How to Get Inbound Backlinks to Your Porn Site

Posted on by

When I started doing SEO in 2001 it was a relatively new science. There weren’t many people doing it, there was no automation and it was relatively easy to find link partners. And you didn’t even need all that many to destroy your competition, simply because your competition usually wasn’t aware of such a thing as SEO.

Nowadays, there are a number of factors that make this a far more competitive and difficult environment to work in. Automated tools have been developed that create thousands of spam like inbound links across the web in a matter of days, which means:

  • Search engines are changing their algorithms regularly to try and weed these guys out
  • Site owners are annoyed by all the spam and less likely to allow outbound links on their sites
  • This influx of inbound links from all the people using these software packages have increased the curve on the sheer number of inbound links that you need to get noticed

Don’t let this dissuade you though. If you picked a good niche and you keep at it you can get rankings  under the terms you want. Besides, the inbound link options for adult websites have always been limited due to the nature of the content we provide. Because of this, we need to rely on adult link exchange to get our links. This means that we add a link to someone’s site in exchange for a link back from one of their sites. There are two types of link exchange:

  1. One Way Links – this is where one porn site links to your site and you DON’T link directly back to that same site. You link to one of that persons other adult sites likely. This looks more natural to Google and gives you better link juice, as it’s called.
  2. Reciprocal Links – A reciprocal link is where one porn site links to your porn site and you link directly back to that same site. This is not as strong as one way adult links but it’s still a link.

So Who do I Trade Links With and How do I Get Those Links?!
Start with link exchange sites.

Here are some of the link exchange sites that I use to get links my porn sites:

Sign up with these, read the rules for each and start trading!

There are more out there for sure. if you know any exchange sites that I missed leave a comment and let us know!

So you love porn and want to have a go at making a living from it. In my opinion the easiest way to break into the porn industry is with a porn web site. Let’s talk about how we can start a porn website!

Some people start with a name, some people start by deciding on a particular category or niche that they want to specialize in. Some people don’t know where to start.

A porn site is no different than any other project. If you want to be successful you should start with a plan. A good way to begin any plan is to start with a bit of a brainstorming session. Use the following list as a worksheet to get some ideas about the direction that you’d like to see your porn site go in.

Download the PDF version of this brainstorming worksheet here

  1. What type of content are you going to include on your website?
    1. Will your website show videos, images, or all of the above?
    2. Will you specialize in a particular category of porn (anal, teen, etc)
  2. Do you want to offer content for free or do you want only members to see it
    1. Will there be a membership fee? If so how much?

Building a successful porn site isn’t done by flicking a switch. You have to treat it as a real start up business. Haha, who am I kidding. A porn site should work for you like a business, but it’s porn. It should also be a lot of fun. That’s why you want to start a porn site in the first place right?
