A Look At Various Porn Marketing Models

In my last entry, I showed that there are many different ways to make money from porn. However, most of us will probably be looking to sell memberships to online sex sites, rather than writing adult content, building adult websites to sell, or any of the other ideas mentioned. In which case, browsing the advice given in adult webmaster forums and turorials will be invaluable to us.

However, the first thing we find in those forums is a host of differing advice and opinions. Some of the advice given may be intentionally misleading (some adult webmasters do not want newbies to succeed; they see this as less cash to go around). Nevertheless, most of the information will be sincere, but based upon the webmaster’s own experience of what makes money for him or her. And this will differ by individual adult webmaster. What works for one person, may work for another, but then again, they may simply fail at using the same method, because it is not inline with their particular likes, dislikes and skills.

Here are a few things you will be told:

TGPs are finished/TGPs will bring you lots of hits.
Free Sites are a thing of the past and a waste of time/Free Sites can be an ideal starting place for making money from porn.
Static Sites will not make you any money/Static Sites are the best for making money.
Porn Portals provide too much free porn for the surfer to lcik on a sponsor link/Porn Portals are an ideal way to keep surfers within your ‘porn empire’.
Adult Blogging is the only way to make real money from porn/Adult Blogging is not the only way to make money and can be a waste of time.
Splogs are vital/good/bad/a waste of time/an insult to real adult webmasters.
You should make your site as bookmarkable as possible or encourage subscribers to sign up for your blog’s RSS feed/Regular subscribers do not sign up with sponsors, they just want free daily porn.
You have to know html, css, php, web design, as an expert/you can get away with only a basic knowledge of web design.
Do not use free hosting/use free hosting as much as possible.
Do not use cheap hosting/cheap hosting is ideal for starting out.
Do not use the same IP address for all of your sites/blogs/splogs/tgps…
You must submit to directories/directories steal your traffic.
Link Trades are vital for getting backlinks/Link Trades will steal/skim your traffic.
Concentrate on Specific Micro Niches/Concentrate on best selling niches.
Entice your surfers with big pictures/use thumbnails only do the surfer has to click to the sponsor to see the rest.
Use softcore images only/hardcore but limited in time/size of image works best.
Free Porn will kill the adult market/Use Free Porn to your advantage.
The Adult Market is dead or dying/there is still plenty of money to be made from porn.

And so on…..

You will see that, apart from the question of using different IP addresses (which I strongly believe - from experience - to be important), I have used some of the pros and cons from each side of the debate.

The truth, I believe, is somewhere in the middle.

And it all depends on you and how you use your skills and apply your knowledge of the adult industry and of yourself to make money from porn.

In my next posts, I will look at a few of these models - TGPs, Free Sites and Static Sites and looking at their pros and cons.
