My
name is John, and like most other adult webmasters, if we were
to meet on the street I am probably not who you would expect.
I am articulate, degreed,
happily married and my friends would tell you I am a nice person.
I am a homeowner, business owner, physically fit and well dressed.
No one in my circle but my wife knows what I do. I sell other
things, online, but all people would care about are these few
adult sites.
Several years ago,
I came to work for an adult company on a non-adult project. That
failed over a few short months, and to keep food on the table
and a roof over my head, I was offered work on a soft-core project,
which I accepted.
Eventually, that too
failed and I was let go.
The online adult industry
is one of the most cutthroat and competitive industries there
is. There is
a war for every penny and every clickthrough. I learned a lot
while I was there; how to make a site that works, how to cross
promote, how to convert, how to get others to invest and advertise.
I learned how to write analysis reports so that people would be
willing to invest, and I was able to secure new opportunities
before even the best in adult knew they were in the pipeline.
You should have seen
some of the five and even six figure affiliate checks that went
out in the mail. The company did it by being scrupulously honest
in paying each and every affiliate exactly what they had earned
like clockwork.
After I was forced
out, I found that I was unemployable. I never filmed an adult
feature, had never peformed in an adult feature, and had never
worked directly on an adult feature in any way. But I may as well
have.
I have great job skills,
but since politically correctness rules the world, I could not
get hired. I would go to an interview and present my abilities,
accomplishments, and sites of my own, and would always mention
my short stint at the adult company. I was surprised at being
told by various interviewers that a great many people in the technical
world have at one time or another taken work with an adult company,
not to worry,and that it was not an issue. A few times I was hired
on the spot.
Later the HR churchladies
would check references. Thereafter, all offers were rescinded
and all calls unreturned.
Same person, same skills,
unacceptable industry. It has been over 7 years.
It did not take long
to dawn on me that I was never going to get a nine-to-fiver ever
again. I could be a productive member of some online company doing
any number of things. So I will do the work that is demanded of
me, to continue promoting pornography, fetishes, and every other
form of legal adult site I can. If that upsets anybody, great,
that makes my day.
If you are reading
this, I will tell you up front that you can have the best of both
worlds. Are you working your ass off and making another guy rich
in the process? You are probably younger, smarter, and know more
about business then the bloated boomers clogging the upward ladder.
Here is a suggestion,
start a few adult sites, just a few to get going. It's easy. Start
with three sites. Build them, set up a few inbound links, and
let them sit there until you get your first check. Then make another
site. Keep your dayjob, keep it off the resume, but do keep the
checks you will be getting.
You can register and
host domains at directnic.com for about $15 a year without being
hassled by the morality police. Here is a link, please do use
it as I make a few penies if you click on it: Be
an Adult Webmaster Here.
Keep working a little
at a time. At some point you will find that if you are making
the sites so that they can be ranked organically in the search
engines, that monthly check will be paying your bills.
"Lesbian Tube"
has 74,000 exact searches per month on google alone, which would
add about 7,000 to yahoo. The math is that if it ranks first on
a search engine, forty percent will click your link, and at worst
one-tenth of one percent will make a purchase. If this ranks highly
for "Lesbian Tube" on Google alone, that would be 30
signups a month, minimum. The average sale is $10. This site took
me three working days to complete, and it would still be worth
it to me if the site made alot less than that.
What would life be
like if you had 50 sites paying you $300 a month? I want to find
out.
I hope you like our
site, will come back often. Should you decide to watch more than
just a sample, you will find the price of movies to be minimal
and every effort to be discrete is taken.
