How to start a Personal Escort Service Business

Escort Industry: A Farrago of Personal and Professional Escorts

Escort industry works quite as wholesomely as adult entertainment industry. When people experience the season to be jolly, erotic and sexual, they ditch their routine porn viewing habits and book a professional escort model. Conscious people waste no time in booking escorts and for all good reasons, they distance themselves from sex workers.  People are stuck in the whirlpool of work and responsibilities. This leaves them with hardly any time to develop personal relationships. Personal escorts make up for this void. Sex workers engage neither in any conversations nor in any companionship. Escort services pack a solid and thoroughly professional companionship and camaraderie.

How to start escort service business?

Escort business services are known for their unique startup-like work culture. If you are look to start an escort business service, you should be able to distinguish it from a sex worker factory and prostitution center. One of the many challenging propositions is identifying the requirements of your clients. Do not accept the lone ranger role if your clients are asking for something which an escort service business cannot provide. For instance, if one of your clients asks for details of all the people who have availed your escort services, do not hesitate to say NO.

Do not storm up any controversies by compromising confidentiality of your clients. For instance, Ashley Madison, the celebrated Canadian dating service was in headlines when a group of hackers breached 9.7GB data dump. This data dump contained information of nearly 32 million users. Crackdown on Cybersecurity is not that simple. You should not call it quits when your clients have reposed confidence in your escort service.

More often than not, escort service businesses are started by those who have been professional escorts themselves. Experienced escorts understand the challenges involved and they are well versed with what all it takes to be a good escort. The following business requirements should be fulfilled before starting an escort service business:

1. Location: Competition in small towns is low. That being said, small towns aren’t amenable to the best possible extent. Urban areas are amenable and hence, you should always locate your escort services in urban areas. Location is a critical parameter which can define your success. Also, just because an urban area is friendly, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be escort-friendly. Identify all those states and regions which are escort friendly. Presence of competition is a healthy indicator of escort-friendly states.
2. Recruitment:Hiring escorts is easier said than done. Many sex workers generally turn up for such jobs. Ensure that you check their health status and health history. Go through their detail health history. If a particular sex worker has a history of having contracted STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases), do not hire him / her. Post your requirement in adult forums and also in Craigslist. If webcam models are willing to work with your escort service, your job is half done. In areas where escort services and prostitution are strictly forbidden, do not launch your business. Abide by the rules and laws. In certain scenarios, quite a significant portion of women who apply for the job of female escort model fail to understand the requirements of the job. They believe that a female escort model need not engage in any sexual activities. This is grossly wrong.
3. Price:This is determined by the market dynamics. As you are just another player in this competitive landscape, you cannot be a price setter. To attract escort models already working with other escort services, you should offer higher salaries. There are many escort models willing to work for a duration of 12 months or so on contract basis.
4. Business Plan:Whether you like it or dislike it, you cannot tread the path alone. Investors who act as chaperones expect a business plan from your end. A business plan documents the goals and entrepreneurial vision of a startup. Investors and other stakeholders thoroughly assess the business plan before vouching for any decision. You might think of approaching banks to set up the required capital. Be informed that many banks do not consider this business legitimate. It is almost not possible to get bank loans. Hence, it is suggested to pitch your business plan to acquaintances and investors. Your friends can help you with meeting advertising expenses for the next six months. Prepare a practical budget and spend accordingly.
5. Marketing Plan:Your escort service business should have a scalable website with all features such as adult payment gateways, dispute management module, multi-language plug-in, knowledge base to keep your target audiences posted about trends, etc. SEO is another important factor which improves your chances of success. Talk to the support staff of Adent.io. They are experts in SEO and web development. They have been catering to the requirements of adult entertainment industry audiences for over a decade. Learn how to use Google Analytics and email marketing from them. Prepare a marketing plan and get it overhauled by their support staff.
6. Competition:Very often, both experienced and amateur escort entrepreneurs overlook competition. Sometimes, they fail to assess the strength of the competition. Consciously, assess the competition and start crafting feasible strategies to tap into their customers’ base. Talk to as many business mentors as possible. It is highly unlikely that competitors will reveal their business ideas and revenue models. Talk to guys who failed in this escort business and subsequently learn from his failures. If possible, hire a business mentor who can help you in each and every step.

Buying vs starting an Escort Service Business

Buying an established escort service is not an easy task. Estimating the market price of the escort service is challenging. Avail the services of a qualified business broker. He helps you understand the legal, moral, ethical and financial position of the company. You may seal the deal accordingly only if you are comfortable with the mutually agreed propositions. Pay attention to the reputation factor as well. If you are acquiring an escort service which is mired in controversies, it doesn’t augur well for your future.

Final Thoughts

Before bidding adieu, I would like to summarize my key pointers:

Parameter	Observations
Location	More often than not, urban areas are amenable and hence, you should always locate your escort services in urban areas
Recruitment	Establish a trade-off between sex workers, prostitutes, professionals, amateurs and newbies
Price	Price depends on location, duration of contract and also the competitive landscape
Business Plan	Have an investor pitch. Get your financials and budget sorted.
Marketing Plan	Invest in initiating and executing marketing campaigns, SEO, Google Analytics, advanced keyword research and email marketing
Competition	Consciously, assess the competition and start crafting feasible strategies to tap into their customers’ base.

In the upcoming series of articles, I shall write a blog post on the trends in porn industry.

10 Sites to Sell Your Snapchat Accounts for Money

Vigor and Ebullience of Snapchat

Five years ago, Snapchat was just an idea. Today, it is more than an idea. Snapchat has the patronage of more than 100 million active users and the count of daily video views stands at a monumental 7 billion. Facebook’s founder Mark Zuckerberg’s love for Snapchat is known to one and all. Very often, he tries to simulate the features of Snapchat. Apart from Facebook and Twitter, Snapchat is one of the genuine platforms in the reputed social media league which is being capitalized by adult performers. When Snapchat teamed up with Square Cash, a new avenue was integrated. This new platform facilitated the seamless transfer of both nudes and short videos. In other words, instant online payments through Snapchat was accelerated with full vigor and ebullience.

Snapchat: How to make money with porn

There are various porn sites for sale on the web. Owners of porn sites advertise a lot on popular social media platforms. Popular social networking platforms such as Twitter and Facebook impose several restrictions and constraints on the profile accounts of adult entertainment performers. This is due to the risqué and taboo complexion of porn. Tumblr had taken a big leap, surely to earn the goodwill of adult performers. As a matter of fact, Tumblr and only Tumblr seemed to be the last leg for porn stars and adult entertainment performers to rise to meteoric stardom. A new ray of hope in the form of Snapchat brought unbridled joy to the entire adult entertainment industry.

Snapchat: An Instant Icebreaker

With the advent of Snapchat, it is incumbent upon the adult entertainment performers to market themselves. Payments are instantaneous and both the adult entertainment industry and Snapchat have seen a mammoth growth in the number of subscribers and revenue. Leverage Facebook and Twitter by sharing a link to your Snapchat account. Since most of the porn viewers are crazy about their favorite models, they will be more than happy to pay for your semi-nudes. It is likely that you may be new to the industry. As a consequence, you may not be having enough following. Be patient. It takes some time to get the attention of porn viewers. Meanwhile, you can market yourself in the following places:

Camming Sites

Camming is more than a profession. It is an industry in itself. The rate at which it is flourishing is formidable. There are various camming sites such as Bongacams, Chaturbate etc. which are the golden geese of the adult entertainment industry. Bongacams started in the year 2012. If you are looking for a hot European model or a sexy Russian girl, Bongacams is the right place. Chaturbate is much bigger than most of the reputed webcam sites including Bongacams.

More often than not, you see couples doing cam shows. To increase the number of followers, you need to create a profile in either of the webcam sites. It is suggested to create profiles in both the webcam sites. You just need to spend a few crazy hours with your audiences, entice them and convert them into your devotees. Spice up your profile by sharing a link to your Snapchat account. Believe me, the money you are entitled to earn is so humongous that you shall no longer engage in webcam business. You shall get busy selling Snapchat videos for an arm and a leg. A sustainable and a profitable livelihood is very much possible.

Adult Content Selling Sites

There are various sites that allow you to upload your videos. I suggest you to just create a profile and not reveal much about yourself. Your fundamental intention should be to tease the audience by revealing as little as possible. Your profile picture should be horny and libidinous. For instance, sites such as ExtraLunchMoney, YouCandy and ManyVids allow you to upload shorter versions (1-minute duration) of your videos. There are sites such as xVideos, Pornhub etc. Create a profile in such tube sites and start uploading videos. Once your videos get enough traction, your followers increase. Wait for the opportune moment. Provide the link to your Snapchat videos and see the magic.

As an alternative approach, you can ask the website administrators of xVideos, Pornhub etc., to promote your Snapchat videos. For every paid customer you get, the websites charge you anywhere between 30-40 percent. If you do not want to want to share your earnings with the middlemen, you have to take the initiative of promoting your videos.

Cam sites or adult tube sites, both the categories pertain intrinsically to the same foundational ideas:

• Adult content creation
• Adult content marketing  

Subscription Model

Monthly Fee: In this type of subscription model, you shall charge your followers a reasonable fee of $30-$40. This is one of the safest and most proven subscription models. If a few followers perceive your subscription fee to be unreasonable, they may discontinue their subscription. Do not cheat your audiences. For a monthly subscription fee of $30, you should send at-least 1 unique Snapchat video per day to the subscribers. Otherwise, there shall be mass exodus from the next month. If your followers like your videos, it is likely that they may engage in viral marketing. They may share your links on various adult forums.

Treat your customers with great decorum. Scant respect or outright disrespect shall result in grave repercussions. If your porn customers bad mouth, you will be compelled to build your reputation from ground zero.  Ensure that you do a proper Lost Customer Analysis (LCA). Delve into the details such as the following:

• Why has the customer left?
• Is the subscription fee over-priced?
• Are the subscription offers of competitors faring well?
• Are the customers getting value to what they are paying?

Research and only research can provide solutions to the issues pertaining to LCA- Lost Customer Analysis.

Lifetime access to your Snapchat account

Models are at complete liberty to charge ridiculously high amounts to grant lifetime access to their respective Snapchat accounts. However, not many customers will be willing to shell out huge amounts. Moreover, I have seen many models abusing this autonomy. As nobody ever knows the lifespan of the Snapchat account, models generally close this subscription model within a month or two. Customers get pissed off and soon, they start badmouthing. Do not indulge in indecency.

Models will be left to fend for themselves in case of any discrepancy in monetary transactions. Snapcash is a blessing to all those who intend to leverage Snapchat. Just like PayPal, instant money transfer is always facilitated. However, models should be at-least 18 years old. Details of bank credit card or debit card should be provided. Details will be used to verify the account.

Please be informed that Snapchat doesn’t allow nude pictures. However, you can always send semi-nudes, lingerie pics etc. You can become famous by sending erotic snaps at affordable prices. Not many will be willing to pay $30 per snap. However, many would be willing to pay $3 per snap. This way, you will be earning more. You shall soon attain the stardom.

As a matter of fact, Snapchat has brought a win-win situation for the adult industry, performers and porn viewers.

I am sure that this article has covered how to make money with porn by using Snapchat. If you are planning to start a new porn site, you should definitely visit Adent.io. Adent.io has some fantastic turnkey software that can help you build different types and genres of websites. It has extra-ordinary staff members who work round-the-clock to make your life pleasant. Even if you don’t intend to start a porn venture of your own, you can take insights on porn industry, trends etc., from Adent.io.

If you have any concerns, feel free to drop a line or two in the comments section. I shall reply in a day or two. Cheers!

A Definite Guide to Hosting Small and Large Adult Sites

 

Web Hosting

We often hear adult web masters talking about ‘web hosting’. Adult web masters fail to read the Terms of Service (TOS). Some fail to comprehend the rules and regulations. Some fail to find the right web hosting provider. Unable to figure out the right kind of  adult website hosting, adult web masters hit me upon my email and drop lengthy messages. First, let’s understand the basics. A website is a collection of web pages. It is more than a domain name. A website encompasses text and graphics linked by HTML code. A website is a collection of files. An adult entertainment website comprises adult content- both video and audio files.

Just because you own a domain name, it does not necessarily mean that anybody will be able access the files you have created. You require a web server which facilitates requests from the porn audiences / users. Let me mention an analogy here: Assume that you have gone to a restaurant and ordered food. A waiter in the restaurant takes your order, forwards the order to the kitchen, collects the food and subsequently brings you the food. In other words, the waiter facilitates your request. Hence, the waiter is also called ‘server’.

A web server is a dedicated computer or an application or a program or a system which uses a protocol called HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) to receive requests from other computers for the files stored on a website and send those files to the requesting computer. The primary functionality of any web server is to process the requests. Thanks to the various software installed on the web servers, creation and management of databases is easy.

Categories of web hosting

There are three categories of web hosting:

• Shared Hosting
• Dedicated Hosting
• VPS – VPS entails two sub categories: Managed VPS and Un-managed VPS

Shared Hosting

Not every website contains hundreds and thousands of files and graphic content. A few websites contain content pertaining to a very small section of audiences. As the number of visitors is limited, small websites do not require complete resources of a web server. For example, websites that teach Yoga and meditation cater to a very small section of audiences. In an era where youth prefer hitting the gyms, not many target audiences will be betting their chances on Yoga and meditation.

Take a large general site such as Yahoo! which targets every user who uses the internet. Yahoo! definitely requires all the resources of a high-performing server. Shared hosting does not work here.

Web servers are powerful computers. They can handle more than one hundred small websites. Shared hosting is a web hosting environment in which more than one website is hosted on one particular server. Here is an interesting stat- Approximately, 95 percent of all websites on the internet run on shared hosting platforms. The various resources to be shared amongst the websites are:

• Disk space
• Email Addresses
• Network Bandwidth

Thanks to sharing of the resources, websites can minimize their respective operating costs. Be informed that shared hosting is also known as ‘Virtual Hosting.

If you are new to adult entertainment industry, you may opt for shared hosting. Once your adult venture becomes profitable, opt for a dedicated hosting platform.

Dedicated Hosting

Established adult entertainment websites such as XVIDEOS, YouPorn, PornHub etc., require huge resources. The magnitude of digital content on such established porn websites is huge. There are quite a few problems associated with shared hosting. A few hosting providers are notorious for their non-performing servers. They impose extreme restrictions on every resource. Some entities may intentionally or accidentally crash the server. As a result, all the other parties suffer. It is therefore understandable why certain smaller adult sites mostly prefer dedicated hosting platforms.

The hosting environment in which all the resources of a server are leveraged by one and only one website is known as dedicated hosting. The web hosting company takes care of maintenance of the server’s hardware. However, you have greater degree of control over configuration of the server.

Semi-Dedicated Hosting

Semi-dedicated hosting is a hosting environment in which a dedicated server is shared among not more than 3 clients. This hosting environment is also called ‘Managed Hosting’. To prevent companies from over-utilizing the resources, strong partitions are laid.

Server Co-location

There are a few people who desire to control every aspect of web server. In other words, ownership and maintenance will be controlled and taken care by them. The hosting company sells its servers to them. It is not a good idea to purchase a web server unless you have enough resources to deal with power outages, roof leaks, thieves and other hazards. It goes without saying that you should have a fast and a reliable high-speed internet connection. Purchase a data center to take complete control of the server (both configuration and maintenance). If you have enough expertise and time to run a web server, this should be an ideal alternative.

Co-location is the process of renting a physical locale which has continuous electrical power and a super-fast internet connection. If you engage in co-location, data center will not be responsible for hardware or software maintenance of co-located severs. Of course, this is a cheaper alternative to dedicated hosting.

Purchase and maintenance of servers is not economical. You should pay for the expertise of the people who can keep it online and run seamlessly round-the-clock in a secured data center. You should consider hiring a separate team for this.

VPS

VPS stands for Virtual Private Server. A VPS is nothing but a virtual machine whose services can be availed by paying certain amount to Internet hosting service providers. There are two sub-categories in VPS:

• Managed VPS
• Un-Managed VPS

Whenever an adult web master opts for a managed VPS, service provider is responsible for fully managing the server. In other words, the service provider takes complete care of system administration, software installation, support and configuration of services. In case of un-managed VPS, the adult web master has to take complete control of software installation, support, administration and configuration. The service provider is not responsible for managing the server. Unless and until you have certain expertise in managing web servers, it is recommended to opt for Managed VPS services.

Before choosing a web hosting service provider, you should definitely look into the following factors:

Storage

Storage is also known as ‘Disk Space’. In other words, every web server should have enough hard disk memory to store your files. The higher you pay, the higher is the disk space allotted to your files. Web server’s hard disk is capable of stacking pictures, videos, web pages, etc. The space allotted to your website may not be sufficient. Purchase more disk space from the adult website hosting service provider.

Bandwidth

Bandwidth is the data transfer rate at which you can transfer a file from the web server to the requested computer. Bandwidth has to be purchased from ISPs (Internet Service Providers). Let me explain the true essence of bandwidth with an example- If you are viewing a page whose file size is 3KB and apart from the file, if the web page encompasses three pictures of sizes 43KB, 104KB and 249KB, you have used 399KB of bandwidth. In other words, you have downloaded 399KB of data from the web server.

How is bandwidth measure? More often than not, bandwidth is measured in Gigabytes (GB). Your target audiences can download as many copies (more than a million) of your files. One and only copy of your files has to be stored on the server. If you exceed the permissible levels of bandwidth, your website may be turned off until the next billing period starts. Depending on the policies of the adult website hosting service provider, you might be billed for the excess bandwidth consumption. Bandwidth consumption and website traffic go hand-in-hand. If the traffic increases, you should always purchase more bandwidth.

Uptime

Uptime is the time during which a computer or any other machine is in operation. If the adult website hosting service provider guarantees 99% uptime, he means that the web server will be operating and running for 99% of the billing period. Why don’t the service providers guarantee 100% uptime? Web servers are computers. Computers need repair and maintenance. They may get obsolete and out of date. Therefore, web hosting service provides provide 99% uptime and not 100% uptime.

Support

This is extremely tricky. The magnitude and quality of support varies from one support representative to another. Evaluation of web hosting service providers on this parameter is extremely dicey. Many web service providers offer best of the class support for a few days. Once the bill payment is done, the so called ‘best of the class’ becomes worst of the class.

Traffic Statistics

Many web hosting service providers offer traffic statistics software with their hosting package. Traffic statistics software is capable of providing insights on:

• Number of unique visitors
• Number of frequent visitors
• Most popular video
• Most popular page
• Most frequent search terms

Statistics can be displayed in an excel dashboard in the form of tables, graphs and charts. Excel dashboard should have intuitive features with great displays and effortless navigation.

Reputation

A famous adage says, Be concerned about your reputation. Reputation is what others think you are. A good reputation is more valuable than money. Check the reviews, ratings and take opinions of industry veterans. Sometimes, reviews and comments can be fake and misleading. Use your discretion to evaluate your judgement.

CGI Scripts

CGI stands for Common Gateway Interface. CGI scripts serve as an interface between forms on web pages and web servers. The data from the forms will be put into databases. The data collected from forms can be used for sending personalized email messages. CGI scripts can be used to process information. In addition, they can be used to create interactive programs. CGI scripts are usually written in Perl. Some programmers write CGI scripts in C++, C and UNIX. CGI scripts are capable of enabling cookies and reading the data from them. They facilitate behind the scenes interaction with web readers.

The functionalities of CGI can be duplicated by newer technologies such as Java, JavaScript and ActiveX. However, not all browsers support the newer technologies. CGI scripts are supported by all web browsers. Moreover, CGI scripts are not limited by any firewall restrictions. Newer technologies are limited by firewall restrictions.

Efficient CGI scripts enhance the performance of web server. A poorly written CGI script will put a lot of load on web servers.

M3 Server is known since 1996 for its excellent web hosting services. Apart from Managed virtual server and dedicated server hosting environments, M3 Server offers global CDN (Content Delivery Network) to give you an extra edge over your competitors.

Adult Turnkey Business – Guide to Make Money by Owning Turnkey Adult Websites

Adult turnkey business is never obscured by time. Truth be told, making money in adult turnkey business has never been easy. From our firsthand experience, we can assert that competition is essential and irreducible. There are deep pocketed players like MindGeek who have built momentum and consolidated their authority. Unseating them immediately is impossible and hence, you should focus on creating, marketing and monetizing niche specific turnkey adult websites. There is a never ending army of fraudsters and hence, always be on guard. Here is an illuminating odyssey on how to make money by owing turnkey adult websites:

CPC (Cost per Click)

CPC or Cost per Click doesn’t amount to a significant departure from one turnkey adult website to another. In reality, CPC in the context of adult website marketing is largely old wine in a new bottle. That being said, selection of the correct ad-types is important. In other words, you should prefer those types of ads which have better CPC. For all intents and purposes, I could maximize my earnings through the following four types of ads:

• Floating Ads: Also known as layer ads, floating ads appear in the main window. They appear to float over the main content.
• Small horizontal banner ads positioned at the bottom of the video
• Large horizontal banner ads positioned in the video header
• Square banners positioned at the top right corner of the video

Memberships and Subscriptions

Turnkey adult websites are bound by unique and uplifting content. As long as you provide unique and uplifting content, you will make decent money.  In case of adult membership sites, the concept of ‘mindful spending’ resonates well with audiences. Categorize your subscription plans into the following buckets:

• Weekly subscription plan
• Monthly subscription plan
• Quarterly subscription plan
• Yearly subscription plan

You are at complete liberty to add a few more buckets. It is all about providing as many choices as possible to your audiences.

Digital Accounts and Digital Products

Are you aware that selling digital products is a permissible practice in adult turnkey business? You can sell digital Instagram and Snapchat accounts of your models. First, hire a few models and strike deals with them. Convince them to engage in sex chat, phone chat, video chat etc. Send locked content to your viewers. Viewers are required to spend a few bucks to unlock the content. You can thus earn through commissions by selling digital accounts and digital content. You can spread the word about digital accounts on your own turnkey adult website.

Custom Video Platforms

Accept custom video requests on your turnkey adult website. I recently stumbled upon the following custom video requests:

• Doctor bangs a nurse
• Father in law masturbates to his lactating daughter in law
• Air Hostess rides horny Pilot
• Spider Man Home Cumming

All the aforementioned custom porn requests symbolize the wild fantasies of audiences. Once you recruit adult performers, shoot HD porn. Sell your video teasers to custom video platforms such as Customs4U . Host the content on your turnkey adult website and make money through Pay per View scheme.

Porn Re-uploading Method

At the very outset, I would like to tell you that this method used to be a proven black hat technique. Until 2015, black hat techniques used to fetch favorable outcomes. Today, the outcomes are different and more often than not, they are uncomplimentary. As a result, this method has been tweaked to pander to not CPA offers but to real websites where people can find their loved videos. First up, you are required to download videos with no watermarks and no copyrights. I generally download such videos from xvideos.com and xhamster.com. You can find a plenty of videos of amateur cam girls with hardly any watermarks and copyrights. When you upload such videos to your turnkey adult website, put a title and a watermark. Here is an example:

Blond girl on lactating Milf on yourwebsitename.com

Upload around 5 videos per day to different porn websites. Do this regularly and you shall witness your wallet growing fat every day.

Adult Directories

The Porn Dude is known for its exhaustive list of porn sites. Its classification and proper categorization of porn sites into various divisions such as Amateur, Free, Premium etc., is praiseworthy. For all intents and purposes, it is an adult directory. If you do a simple Google search, you shall find more than 20 adult directories. Be informed that such directories do not bring you great traffic but help you build links. It takes special callousness to ignore adult directories. Here is what a friend of mine did to get 1000 unique visitors to his turnkey adult website in a day:

He visited all the 20 directories. He found a couple of dysfunctional links in each of the 20 directories. He reported the presence of expired / dead links to the administrators and adult webmasters. They thanked him and offered him the prime slot in ‘Tube websites’ category for 24 hours. Within 24 hours, he got 1000 unique visitors to his turnkey adult website. You too can try this technique and get new visitors.

Adult Forums

Forums are places where adult webmasters and porn enthusiasts post their respective queries and concerns. Provide sensible answers to their questions. Enkindle impressively controlled narratives and establish yourself as an influencer. As an integral part of adult website marketing, incorporate a signature in your profile. Link your forum profile with your turnkey adult website. Thousands of followers shall embrace you and your adult turnkey business.

Review Sites

There are many genuine websites which review popular adult websites. If your turnkey adult website hosts genuine content, submit your site URL to review sites. Positive reviews will help you build not only traffic but also links. Review sites clearly point out your site’s frailties. Take the criticism constructively and focus on improving your site.

Ask and Reply Method

Do you think it is mandatory for your turnkey adult website to have a dedicated ‘Trending Porn stars’ category? In my opinion, it is mandatory. PornHub.com has this feature. Porn enthusiasts and viewers are known for their habit of kowtowing to trending porn stars. It therefore makes sense to monetize and leverage this phenomenon. So how do you identify trending porn stars? Visit Pornhub.com and identify the most viewed, trending and new porn stars.

Create two separate accounts on namethatporn.com and namethatpornstar.com. Create GIFs of trending and most viewed porn stars. With one account / profile, submit the GIF to namethatporn.com and with another account, submit the answer and the link to your turnkey adult website. If somebody else is interested in the same porn star, he / she is bound to visit your site. This Ask & Reply method which comes under the purview of adult website marketing, fetches you happy customers.

Link Exchange Method

This method is known to the entire adult entertainment industry and barring a few established adult websites, hardly any other websites and webmasters seem to leverage it to the fullest. How I wish it weren’t the scenario! This link exchange method is simple- You just need to incorporate a tab named ‘Our Friends’ or ‘Our Partners’. You are required to furnish the links of websites you intend to exchange the links with. Make sure that your friends and partners feature all the links associated with your website. This way, it will be a win-win situation. Your friends shall get a few visitors from your site and vice versa.

Estimated Traffic

Link exchange method should ideally fetch you around 500 visitors per day, provided you exchange links with at-least 5 different turnkey adult websites. Ask and Reply method should fetch you around 100 unique visitors per day. Adult sites, directories and review sites should fetch you at-least 1000 visitors per day. Thanks to custom porn uploading and porn re-uploading methods, an estimated traffic of 1000 visitors is very much in the offing. Memberships and subscriptions should fetch you at-least 500 visitors. This aggregates to an approximate 4000 to 5000 visitors per day. Index your turnkey adult website for certain keywords and soon, Google will feature your turnkey adult website in the first page of SERPs.

The Bottom Line

You can set afire your competitor sites and make money through the following ways:

• CPC
• Memberships and Subscriptions
• Digital Accounts and Digital Products
• Custom Video Platforms
• Porn Re-uploading method
• Adult Directories
• Adult Forums
• Review Sites
• Ask and Reply Method
• Link Exchange Method

How to start an Adult video tube streaming website?

Viewed in the context of technology and adult entertainment industry, this is an era of near-complete dominance of video streaming scripts. Adult web masters are often in awe of the holy nexus between technology and adult entertainment industry. Not so long ago, when internet was still in its infancy, certain imperatives associated with website development were hiring a team of web developers, leveraging non-Bootstrap framework, relying on obsolete methods of testing. And yes, this old school method was tiringly tedious and immensely time consuming. When adult video scripts hit the market, adult webmasters were caught unawares.

To be upfront, adult video streaming scripts will save us from the hell of troubles and bring us to the heaven of pleasures. It is in this spirit, I would like to associate myself with a compelling narrative which throws insights on how to start an adult video tube streaming website by using xStreamer, a popular video tube site script.

Domain Registration and Hosting

Very often, people purchase and register domain names from internet domain registrars and opt for hosting services provided by other companies. There is little harm in following this strategy. At the same time, there is little merit in embracing this strategy. Visit M3 Server. M3 Server lets you choose not only your domain name but also an affordable hosting plan. Be informed that many hosting service providers do not support adult video hosting. M3 Server is an exception though. It supports both adult and non-adult video content hosting.

Your domain name should convey the niche of your adult website. Also, protect your privacy by purchasing WhoisGuard protection. Porn is still considered taboo in many countries. The irony is that everybody watches porn but nobody admits the same.

Choose a Template

xStreamer comes with many responsive templates. Every template is endowed with Bootstrap based interface. Thanks to the Bootstrap framework, templates look pixel perfect on every device- right from smartphones and laptops to desktops.

Customize the Template

The best thing about xStreamer templates is that they can be customized. Make necessary changes to your template.  If you have HTML knowledge, you can tweak the templates as per your desires. If you aren’t a tech-savvy customer, don’t worry. If you face any hurdles, contact the support staff members. They will help you in each and every step of customization process.

Choose Relevant Languages

Porn is one of the few industries where language is never a barrier. That being said, people have certain preferences when it comes to listening to the rabid and arousing conversations. xStreamer has Multilanguage system plugin. As the site administrator, you are at complete liberty to add multiple languages from the admin panel.

Upload Videos – Bulk Video Upload

xStreamer has this amazing bulk video upload module that lets you upload videos from the admin panel. The interesting thing is that adult tube sites built by using xStreamer support videos in multiple formats such as AVI, WMV, FLV, 3GP, MPEG, QuickTime, DIVX etc. All the videos uploaded to xStreamer will be converted to web-ready formats. And needless to say, all the possible resolutions and qualities: ranging from normal (flv), high definition and mobile are fully supported. There is another amazing feature in this video streaming script. xStreamer creates rotating thumbnails for each and every video. This is a proven growth hacking feature which enables audiences to get a bird’ eye view of what’s instore for them.

Test the Video Player

It is in the best interest of your adult video tube streaming website that you test the video player. It is highly unlikely that the video player will fail. This adult video streaming script comes with a sophisticated video player well-endowed with multiple features such as navigational bars, pre-roll ads, post-roll ads, watermarks, in-video text ads etc. The sophisticated video player will work perfectly fine with multiple streaming servers.

Not everybody owns a feature rich smartphone. And not every smartphone supports Adobe Flash. In such scenarios, the mobile version of the video is streamed. This minimizes bandwidth consumption to a certain extent.

Optimize your videos

This video streaming script takes care of search engine optimization. It lets you build search engine friendly URLs. Thanks to search engine friendly URLs and auto-generated meta tags, your adult video tube streaming site will have better indexing and ranking. That being said, the onus is on you to provide suitable video descriptions. Video descriptions should have keywords. If you are new to this stuff, contact the support staff of Adent.io. They will explain everything.

Experience the Benefits of Scalable Architecture

Adult video tube streaming websites built by using this video streaming script are horizontally scalable. In other words, they are capable of handling huge amounts of traffic. Chances of a potential crash are reduced to zero. Your adult video tube streaming site will run on multiple servers, thereby making the content accessible to everybody.

 Leverage Monetization Options

The admin panel of xStreamer gives you full rights to classify the video content into two categories: Free porn and Premium porn. Premium porn can be accessed only by those who subscribe to your premium plan(s). Other monetization options include banner ads, interstitial ads, pop under, video ads etc. You can also earn money from sponsors. What this means for you is essentially a heavy wallet and consistent income.

Add Multiple Payment Gateways

Adult video tube streaming websites are treated as ‘risky’ by the popular payment gateway PayPal. As a matter of fact, PayPal doesn’t support adult video streaming sites. xStreamer is therefore allied with CCBill. Guess what, as many as 20 payment gateways are available as add-ons. Talk to the support staff to know more about payment gateways integration. I personally feel that you should have at-least four robust adult payment gateways. My favorites are CCBill, Epoch, Paywall and Epay.

 Administer Everything

Very often, audiences do not read terms and conditions. Sometimes, a few audiences may intentionally upload child pornography. This can land you in prison. It is your responsibility to administer everything. If users fail to abide by your rules, terminate their membership. xStreamer gives you the ultimate authority to administer each and every aspect of your adult video tube streaming website.

Porn 3.0 – Essential Features of The Next Generation

Porn 2.0 was big when the idea first came out. The idea of user generated content caught on like nothing else, similar to what happened with Web 2.0. Back then, porn was only static, controlled by the industry itself and there was almost no true amateur porn. It wasn’t until social media and online video platforms came out that everyone realised that they could be performers as well, they could have followers and fans. But now, after a decade or so of Porn 2.0 becoming mainstream, Porn 3.0 is looming on the horizon, and we’ve got everything you need to know about the next generation of porn!

Porn 2.0 – What was it?

Porn now pretty much adopted the exact set of features that Web 2.0 was proposed with. While not a technical upgrade peruse, it was simply a term given to the shift from static websites to user generated content, interoperability and increased ease of use. Porn 2.0 was in fact a subset, influenced by the changing mindsets around the internet and what it’s capable of. The whole idea of Web 2.0 has become so embedded in daily life that not all of us actually remember what the internet, and by extension, online porn was like before this time. Some of the features or services that came up were:

Photo Hosting and Communities

Sites like Flickr, Imgur, Picasa and more allowed users to share photographs of pretty much anything they took over the internet, and allowed not only amateur photographers and designers to flourish, but also amateur couples to share their bedroom experiences.

Social Networks

Networks like Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter caused an explosion of sharing all over the world, both of adult and non-adult content. This allowed users to create online personas for all to see, and also connected them to the other content they uploaded, either as photos or videos. They also allowed users to create niche communities or sections that catered to a very specific set of people.

Blogging

The buzzword these days was introduced around the time Web 2.0 came out. Along with giving writers, poets and more the opportunity to express themselves, erotica writers and sex blogs came into existence.

Video Communities and Platforms

YouTube, Vimeo, Metacafe and more were websites that truly connected the world together. You could now see the work of a filmmaker from across the world and watch content from just about any place on the globe, it was the dawn of a new era indeed. So many stars got noticed from sites like YouTube and are now part of the mainstream music and film industry, and this is also exactly what the porn industry did. All the sites we regularly browse today, like YouPorn, PornHub, Xvideos and more came out only because of the advent of video communities and platforms. We pretty much owe the ease of accessible free porn today to Web 2.0’s innovations.

Porn 3.0 – Looking Ahead

So what’s next for the world of porn? The last generation was mostly about getting people into the limelight and giving them the power to express themselves, what is this generation going to be all about? We’ve got an inkling of what it could be, and boy does it look awesome. Unlike last generation’s user focus, the next generation of porn is all about an experience. The idea is to really make you part of the film, and not remain a viewer. Here’s some of the trends and features emerging that will be a big part of porn in the future.

Virtual Reality

We’ve always dreamed of faraway worlds, space exploration and whatnot. While we may not get to visit them in person anytime soon, there’s nothing stopping designers from creating video games and movies that take you there. But we’re still just staring at a screen. What if you could be IN it? What if you’re not restricted by field of view and could look where you want, go where you want and see things as if they were in front of you? That’s what virtual reality is bringing in.

It has obvious usage in porn as well, no more pseudo being-there experiences like POV porn, you could be the performer or be a spectator watching the action in any way you like. You could be in a scene with your favourite porn star. It’s not just a fantasy, there actually is VR porn available, and with the Oculus Rift VR headset coming out soon for 600$, it’s not going to be much longer for the next iterations to get more affordable.

Connected Peripherals

Being in the experience is one thing, but actually touching and feeling something is another. Sure, you have Flesh lights and they’re pretty cool by themselves, but in a VR experience, that Flesh light could enhance the experience even further. All of these working in tandem will make the next generation of porn even more awesome!

Brain-Computer Interfaces

Now this might sound something straight out of Star Trek, but there are technologies being developed that would allow users to completely ditch traditional input devices like mice, keyboard, controllers and more. You could just control anything by thinking about it, and as part of virtual reality, you could create worlds and experiences unique to yourself.

Connected Experiences

Cam models today are just visible on screen and there’s no other interaction apart from what you’d usually get from a video chat, but in the future, combined with connected peripherals, cam girls could probably help you masturbate by controlling devices from anywhere in the world. Enhanced pleasure? Yes please!

Artificial Intelligence and Robots

Now the closest you can get to a companion is a sex doll, which frankly, isn’t anything worth writing about. But with increasing artificial intelligence and more realistic robots, there might be a time when you can actually have a companion for those times alone which actually looks and acts like your favourite pornstar. It may be a while for this to come true, but we’ll be damned if people aren’t working on it already!

 

How to start your own Netflix of Porn?

Netflix, the popular American entertainment company was founded in 1997. Twenty years is more than a reasonable time period for assessing the performance any subscription based video on demand website. No doubt, Netflix has lived up to the expectations of entertainment industry. In the context of adult entertainment industry, are there any subscription based video streaming sites that attained the stature of Netflix?  One prominent adult entertainment website is Adult Rental which streams more than 80000 full length sex movies. Other prominent examples of adult membership websites are Brazzers, NaughtyAmerica, RealityKings, Faketaxi etc. Barring these few subscription based sites, many adult membership sites end up being crashing disappointments.

Web developers’ caveats aside, the truth of starting an adult site resonates deeply for anyone whose objective is enriched by the lucrative nature of porn industry. The talking point is how to start my own porn company. Whether you are a solo performer or a production studio, if you are looking to start an adult membership site, purchase xMember– an adult Content Management turnkey software.

Why xMember? – A question every adult webmaster would want to know an answer to. In a competitive industry with multiple alternatives for building adult subscription websites, what justifies selecting xMember over the other turnkey scripts?

Subscription Based Membership

xMember gives you multiple options to operate a subscription based membership system for users. You can set as many plans and as many price points as possible. As the administrator of your adult tube site, you can grant access privileges to users according to their plans and let them download videos.

Manage Model Directories

You can ban those models who do not comply with your rules. Some models try to promote their own webcam sites. You can let them promote by asking them pay a certain commission. Some models fail to upload their profile pictures. You can send personal messages to models and tell them to upload their profile pictures. You can monitor their activities.

Complete CMS

While there are many turnkey software available, not every turnkey software enjoys the comforts of being a CMS. CMS stands for Content Management System. A content management system allows you to manage all the digital content. Right from letting you edit all the text to image banners, the content of static pages and privacy policy can also be edited.

A Content Management System (CMS) comprises Content Management Application (CMA) and Content Delivery Application (CDA). By using CMA, users can modify and remove content from a website. For instance, models can edit their profiles and upload new profile pictures. All such modifications do not require the intervention of adult webmasters. On the other hand, CDA does the job of collating information and updating the same on adult websites. There are many advantages – For instance, there is no need to write lengthy code from scratch to grant permissions to users. There are special provisions in CMS to grant permissions to users. Apart from permission management, CMS helps you create uniform looking graphical interface.

Highly Secured Platform

We often witness the scaffoldings of cyber-attacks. However, xMember’s reputation, verging on alert systems has remained firmly intact. xMember has got all the capabilities to tackle malicious attacks of any magnitude. xMember has various built-in modules that hinge on proactive mechanisms to prevent malicious injections

Amazon S3 Integration

S3 stands for “Simple Storage Services”. As a matter of fact, you can use S3 to store and retrieve data such as documents, images, files etc., at any point of time. xMember is compatible with Amazon S3. To host your media files, you are at liberty to avail Amazon S3 services. If you want to host them on your server, you are at complete liberty to do so. Amazon S3 services are unflappable and affordable. Moreover, the cloud storage is highly scalable. I would therefore advise against hosting media files on your server.

Payment Gateways

PayPal does not support adult entertainment platforms. However, this fact should not deter you from starting an adult site. Prominent payment gateway CCBill is available as a built-in payment gateway. In addition to CCBill, you can have more than 20 payment gateways such as ePoch, Verotel, ePay etc., as add-ons.

Multiple Video Formats

Users showcase their love for their favorite models by uploading a wide range of videos. Unfortunately, all the videos do not have the same format. Some videos have AVI format. Some videos have MPEG extension. This non-uniformity can cause troubles. You need not worry as xMember allows users to upload videos in AVI, WMV, QuickTime, DIVX, MPEG, 3GP, FLV etc. xMember then converts them into a uniform format in the background.

Integrated ecommerce Store

Models can create their own dedicated ecommerce stores and sell not only digital products but also physical products. Right from selling clothes and toys to digital products such as Snapchat accounts and personal video clips, models can sell every possible adult accessory.

 

Trail vs VIP Membership

Growth hacking features that enhance subscriptions are in abundance in xMember. This ‘Trail vs VIP Membership’ feature allows customers to explore your adult membership site for 2 days. Of course, the users shall be granted limited privileges. They can be then converted into VIP members. Many leading turnkey software scripts do not have this feature. Quite intentionally, Adent.io has combined this feature with various growth hacking plugins. Believe me, it is more than a BOMB!

Fully Responsive Website

In many ways, technology has given adult entertainment industry a remarkable image. Earlier, many adult entertainment ventures used to have separate websites for mobiles, tablets, laptops etc. Thanks to the emergence of Bootstrap technology, adult entertainment ventures can just create only one website which can be accessed on mobile phones, tablets and desktops. The beauty of pixel perfection of adult websites built by using Bootstrap technology resonates deeply with every set of target audience.

Easily Customizable

Today, we face the commodification of the word ‘customization’. It is being misused. To be upfront, this word is being abused by many adult webmasters. Something which is customizable can be modified according to the requirements of customers. Many turnkey software available in the market are not customizable. There are several limitations and I am aghast at the deadly silence in the section of experts of adult entertainment intelligentsia who do not give a hoot about disclosing this truth.

xMember is customizable as it is built with MEAN Stack. By the way, MEAN stands for MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS and NodeJS. You need not be an expert to customize the product as per your requirements. You just require a little bit of expertise to make changes to the neatly written code. If you have any doubts, you can refer to the documentation. Documentation should ideally resolve most of your doubts. If you have any queries, you can always reach out to the support staff of Adent.io

Scalable Architecture

xMember is capable of handling huge traffic. It is horizontally scalable as it is built on a distributed architecture. In other words, it can operate on multiple servers. To cut the long story short, encoding is done on a different server while streaming is done from a Content Delivery Network. Technical caveats aside, what it essentially means for you is that xMember is fully scalable.

Monetization Options

One of the important yardsticks of a fully operational membership turnkey software is the number of monetization options. xMember is loaded with several monetization options such as ads, banners, eCommerce store etc. Some of the monetization opportunities are selling digital products such as Snapchat accounts, Instagram accounts etc., through eCommerce store.  In addition to setting different membership levels and pricing schemes, there are several custom modules such as

• A dedicated growth hacking plugin to boost VIP sales
• Pay per Minute phone calls (only voice)
• Pay per minute Live webcam private shows (based on tokens)
• Tips to solo performers
• Pay per Text chat

 

All the above mentioned features clearly indicate that xMember is a winner. If you have any doubts or concerns, feel free to drop a line or two in the comments section. I shall reply in a day or two. Keep watching this space for insights on adult entertainment industry. My best wishes are with you and your adult membership site. Start your own Netflix of porn today. Cheers!

A Product Guide for Adult Membership Websites

Membership Website

Adult entertainment industry comprises several categories of adult websites such as tube sites, webcam sites, membership sites etc. Before delving deep into the adult membership websites, let me define the term – ‘Membership site’. A membership site is a site which features content- both user generated and featured. Access to the digital content is provided to only those members who register and subsequently subscribe to one of the various pricing plans. Audio files, videos, photos, e-books, webinars and online courses come under the whole gamut of digital content. Membership sites can be free or paid. More often than not, in adult entertainment industry, the content of membership sites can be accessed at a certain premium.

Examples of adult membership sites are Brazzers, NaughtyAmerica, RealityKings, FakeTaxi etc.

Benefits of having an Adult membership website

Revenue, Revenue and Revenue

Imagine a membership site having 100 members. If you charge a reasonable $30 per member per month, you can earn a steady income of $3000 per month. $3000 per month is what most of the novice adult webmasters strive for. Once your website gains popularity and good reputation, this figure just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Traffic

It is important to get consistent traffic every day. Consistent traffic will improve your website rankings, page authority and domain authority.

Digital Content

In adult membership sites, you are selling digital content for a certain price. You are not selling any physical goods. You can therefore do away with the problems of logistics, supply chain, drop shipping and operations. You have to focus on digital content creation and content curation. Shipping costs can be obviated. Moreover, you need not incur any inventory holding costs and storage costs.

Long Lasting Loyalty

For any membership business site to canvas profits, it is important to maintain good relationships with the customers. Members look for endearing content. It is therefore your responsibility to create endearing content. Just do not pick content from other websites. Identify the pain points of the customers and resolve their issues. By doing this, you will not only earn loyalty but also their respect.

For all intents and purposes, customer loyalty may not be possible in other sites. Consider an online adult toy store. The last communication that you shall be having with your customers is when you bill the invoices. Customer relationship is a test of customer loyalty. Customer loyalty is the solid foundation that any business should strive for.

You need not build any membership site from scratch. There are several membership sites for sale. Before purchasing an adult membership site, ensure that it has the following features:

Seamless Streaming

For seamless streaming, high performing streaming servers should be used. An example of a high performing server which sets new standards for scalability and reliability is NGINX. It is a HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) server which can also be used as a reverse proxy. Talking about live streaming and professional grade services, it is important to have a server which perfectly synchronizes with cloud infrastructure. WOWZA streaming server is capable of reaching any device as it comes with several built-in CDN (Content Delivery Network) options. There are several porn sites for sale. But not many are flexible, scalable and server friendly.

Pixel Perfection

Long gone are the days of radio and telephone. People are looking for great content on smart phones, tablets and desktop. The membership website you purchase should look pixel perfect on all types of devices. Regardless of the screen size and resolution, watching videos should never be a tiring experience. It should be a memorable experience.

Range of Memberships

More often than not, adult membership sites run on subscription based revenue model. Your adult membership site should let you create multiple pricing plans. Apart from this, it should also let curious users try and test the trial package. Generally, trial packages are tagged at cheap rates. Once the user takes a tour of your membership website, he / she can either vouch for a premium membership or continue as a free user. Converting casual and curious users to premium members is a daunting task. Your website should have all the possible growth hacking features to entice customers.

Hosting Media Files

Most of the membership sites for sale are not capable of storing huge data. Hosting media files and scaling them is a gargantuan task in itself. Look for those sites whose data is being hosted on massively scalable servers such as Amazon S3. By the way, S3 stands for Simple Storage Service. Amazon S3 can be integrated with third part technologies. Again, most of the servers charge you a fortune for hosting your media files. Take an informed decision.

Payment Gateways

The very purpose of maintaining an adult membership site will be defeated if there aren’t any payment gateways. As a matter of fact, your membership site should feature various adult payment gateways such as CCBill, ePoch, Veretol, ePay, etc. Please be informed that adult merchant accounts are considered as ‘high risk’ accounts. It is important to have more than one adult payment gateway. If by any means one of the adult payment gateway fails, payments should be facilitated through other payment gateways.

Monetization options

One of the criteria that you should definitely take into consideration before purchasing a porn site for sale is the range of monetization options. Membership sites should feature multiple monetization options such as ads, banners, membership based payments (different membership levels have different pricing plans) etc.  Sometimes, you may be required to sell physical products. To facilitate this, eCommerce store feature has been integrated. Apart from physical products, you can sell Snapchat accounts and Instagram accounts.

Multiple Video support

You should be at complete liberty to upload a wide range of video formats such as 3GP, FLV (Flash Video), QuickTime, WMV (Windows Media Video) etc. Your website should have all the adequate features to convert them to the desired format in the background. Sometimes, videos may be infested with malicious commands. Your adult membership website should have enough provisions to tackle virus and malware attacks. A robust alert system will certainly serve as a panacea to all cyber-attacks.

xMember is a versatile adult Content Management System and an affordable video streaming turnkey software that helps you build adult membership websites with all the afore-mentioned features. Some of its other features are:

Search Engine Optimization

SEM industry; SEO company; Internet Marketing Professional; Search SEO Company

For better indexing and ranking, search engine friendly URLs are required. This turnkey script software has several built-in SEO features. There is a dedicated Knowledge Base section where you can keep yourself abreast of all the developments in adult entertainment industry. It goes without saying that all the photo albums, eCommerce store products and model profiles are meticulously carved for search engines.

Distributed Architecture

Distributed architecture is a type of architecture in which components of a system are hosted on a different platforms or severs. The components communicate with each other through a network. This reduces the burden on the servers. Adult membership websites designed by using xMember are perfectly scalable. As far as the process of encoding is concerned, it can be done on a different server. As an alternative, an external service can also be used for encoding. And yes, streaming is done from a CDN (Content Delivery Network).

Robust Admin Backend

Business owners and backend administrators should be able to administer, monitor and overhaul the activities of the members. A few members may be notorious for paying scant respect to the terms and conditions of your membership website. Terms and Conditions should be carefully chronicled. If anybody is found violating, issue a warning. If he / she doesn’t accede to the warnings, terminate their membership. This module helps you achieve the core objectives of your adult business.

HTML 5 video fallback

Certain smart phones, tablets and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) may not support Adobe Flash player. In such a scenario, xMember relies on HTML 5 video player. The resolution of the videos is adjusted according to the screen size of the device. In addition, bandwidth consumption is also minimized.

Built-in Features

For your convenience, I am enlisting all major the built-in modules of xMember:

• Seamless Streaming
• Pixel Perfection
• Range of Memberships
• Hosting Media Files
• Payment Gateways
• Monetization Options
• Multiple Video Support
• Search engine Optimization
• Distributed Architecture
• Robust Admin Backend
• HTML 5 Video Fallback
• Amazon S3 Integration
• Integrated eCommerce Store
• Trail vs VIP membership

Please be informed that this list is not exhaustive. It covers all the major built-in plug-ins and modules.

Certain modules do not come default with xMember. Such modules are called ‘add-ons’. To avail the features of add-ons, you should purchase them.

Bulk Upload Module

More often than not, video content is present in different locations, especially remote sites. It is important to consolidate the large amounts of data and upload in a single action. Essentially, there exists two methods to upload bulk content- the first method is where a simple CSV file (Comma Separated Value) is used. The second method is a bit sophisticated. An XML (Xtensible Markup Language) file is used to facilitate bulk upload. Apart from structuring the elements and bulk uploading upcoming video trailers, you can also bulk upload photo albums.

Growth Hacking

Growth hacking is the process of identification of genuine, effective and efficient ways to grow a business. It essentially deals with customer retention, customer acquisition and lead generation. To convert your occasional porn viewers into loyal premium customers, xMember comes with a built-in growth hacking module. This module automates the email delivery system. Emails are customized and personalized. This is achieved through Mail Chimp, an email automation software. Also, this module lets you offer special discounts to your special customers.

Two Step Verification

Adult entertainment industry is notorious for fraud and cyber-theft. For membership accounts, security of the highest level is a prerequisite. Two step verification is all about authentication through an email and SMS.

PayPal Subscription

As mentioned earlier, xMember turnkey product comes with CCBill. It is completely left to your discretion whether to integrate PayPal into your billing management. Payment gateways bring money. It is therefore suggested to integrate as many payment gateways as possible.

Send Tips to Models

I would like to classify the models into categories: Solo performers and Production Studios. Models accept tips in the form of tokens. Tokens can be converted into cash. This module lets your members send tips to their favorite models.

Pay per Text Chat

A few models desire to engage in horny and sexy conversations with members. This module facilitates this.

Pay per Minute Phone calls

Quite a few adult performers intend to engage in phone sex with customers. Members shall be charged on the number of minutes the models have spent conversing with them.

Pay per Minute Live Webcam

A few models / adult performers may nod in the affirmative for live webcam shows. Members will be charged on per minute basis.

If there is any porn site for sale, do not purchase it immediately. Verify if the adult membership website has all the features. You may take the assistance of Adent.io. The support staff of Adent.io are cooperative. Believe me, they are the go-to guys.

If you have any concerns, feel free to drop a line or two in the comments section. I will be happy to give you suggestions and address your concerns. My best wishes are with you and your adult membership site. Cheers!

How I Make Passive Income from Porn Sites?

Porn is one of the marquee consequences of evolution of internet. The first benefit of porn, which is elementary, concerns itself with the pleasures of satisfying the sexual fantasies of viewers. The second benefit of porn, which is monetary, concerns itself with the profound fortune of feathering the nests of adult webmasters. Is there any magic pill to live high off the hog? Sadly, there aren’t any magic pills. The only way to earn a decent passive income is to work smartly. This post will cover how to make money with porn. You should invest at-least three hours per day initially to earn decent passive income. If you are not ready to put in enough efforts, please do not expect best results. In porn industry, it is difficult to negotiate efforts with money.

I earn around 120-150$ per day. As much as 90 percent of this income is passive. To an unaccustomed reader of this article, the method is outlined as follows:

• There are many porn videos recorded with cams on the net. Download as many as you can. Ensure that there are no watermarks in the videos.
• If there are any watermarks, try to remove them with a watermark remover software. It is difficult, if not impossible to remove watermarks from videos. There are many watermark remover tools available at premium prices. If you can afford a premium tool, then you can download the videos with watermarks.
• There should not be any trademarks / links in the downloaded videos. If there are any, sever the video. Again, you may have to use premium tools to remove links and trademarks from the video. This entire process of undoing trademarks, links and watermarks is herculean. It is therefore recommended to download videos with zero trademarks and zero watermarks.
• There are many videos available on the net with zero trademarks and zero watermarks. Be patient and surf every corner of the web.
• The next step is to register a domain and opt for a reliable hosting service.
• Now, upload videos to various porn sites with your money making link. Money now shows up in many ways!

Now that you have a bird’s eye view of the big picture, let us now explore the nuances of the big picture.

Create accounts in porn sites

To begin with, create an account in xvideos.com

At the top right hand corner of the web page, you will see ‘Create Account’ icon. Click the icon and complete your profile. You will be prompted to fill details such as Profile name, password, country, city, sex, date of birth etc.  The account page contains various links that redirect you to RSS updates, advertising platforms, removal of content, terms of agreement and service etc. Please read the terms of service. Do not be in haste as haste makes waste. So, rather than turning a blind eye to the terms and conditions, read each and every line. The best thing about xvideos.com is that it is completely user intuitive.

Sometimes, the administrators of xvideos.com may delete your videos for some controversial content. Identify the reasons, remove the controversial content, tweak the content of the video and upload it again. They shall accept the videos. Don’t worry, unless and until there is a horrible and terrible breach in terms and conditions, the admins will not ban you.

It is very much possible to make accounts on every porn site on the internet. Apart from xvideos, you can make a profile in the following sites:

• Porn Hub
• xHamster
• Beeg
• XNXX
• You Porn
• Mad Thumbs
• Porner Bros
• Red Tube
• VideoLoves You
• Big Tits
• Alpha Porno
• Wet Pussy
• Girls On Girls Tube

Download Porn Videos

It is not necessary to download videos recorded with webcam. As a matter of fact, you can download videos which you think porn viewers will like watching. As mentioned earlier, videos should not have any trademark and watermark.

To find best webcam videos, visit Xhamster.com

You can download the videos either by clicking the download button on the websites or by using software such as CatchVideo. Catchvideo helper is available as a browser extension. You can add the extension here.  Another reputed software is ClipGrab. You can download the software here.

It is important to stay organized. Hence, create a folder with a name such as ‘Porn Videos’. Every day, create a sub-folder.  Download at-least 10 videos, store these videos in the sub-folder and upload them on ten different websites.

Create a CrakRevenue Account

A question that boggles every amateur adult webmaster is: What is CrakRevenue?

CrakRevenue is a private and an adult CPA network, owned by adult niche experts. For your information, CPA stands for Cost per Acquisition. The amount of money you earn with CrakRevenue heavily depends on the type of offer you opted for. Essentially, there are three types of offers:

• PPL- Pay per Lead
• PPS- Pay per Sale
• Revshare- Revenue Sharing

PPL stands for Pay per Lead. For every potential lead, you can earn anywhere between $2 and $3. A potential lead is any user who signs up on an affiliate porn website. The user need not purchase anything. However, certain amount of conversion rate is mandatory and desirable. CrakRevenue team internally monitors the conversion rate of your traffic. If the number of conversions is abysmal, this earning opportunity might closed for you. The key to potential leads is to send quality traffic.  Whenever you send quality traffic, chances of actual conversion take place.

PPS stands for Pay per Sale. The conversion rates are not as high as PPL program. In PPS offer, visitors have to pay money for something. For instance, visitors have to pay money to become members of the porn websites or forums. For every potential convert, the pay is lucrative. It is usually between %35 and $75 per sign up.

Revenue Sharing: This offer fetches you recurring income. Whenever a registered user renews his / her membership subscription, you will earn certain commission which is generally around 15-30% of the membership renewal price. They may not be as lucrative as Pay per Sale offers. However, revenue sharing provides you a nice long term income provided, you have quite a good number of sign ups.

To promote the CrakRevenue offers, you should first submit an application. If your application is inconsequential, it will be rejected. CrakRevenue team claims that nearly 60% of all the applications are rejected. To be an integral part of the remaining 40% elite CrakRevenue community, it is important to submit a great application. Sometimes, spelling mistakes can result in denial of your application. Be diligent and pay attention to every minutest detail.

Do not write too much. Do not be verbose. Mention your genuine sources of traffic in the application. Do not try to cheat the CrakRevenue team. No matter how much ever you try to hoodwink them, the CrakRevenue team is bound to outsmart you. Be genuine. Mention the names of other CPA networks that accepted your website.

More often than not, CrakRevenue pays you through Payoneer. If you are based in US, CrakRevenue pays you through checks. Otherwise, payments are facilitated through Payoneer. Create your Payoneer account here. It costs you nothing.

Buy a Domain Name and a Hosting Provider

Buy a domain name. Ensure that it contains words such as ‘cams’ or ‘webcam’. Your target audiences get connected with such domain names. For instance, people have been consistently responding in good faith with sites such as HotCamGirls.com. Domain name should convey the adult niche of your website.

After purchasing the domain name, it is important to choose a hosting service. There are many hosting providers in the market. Unfortunately, not many are reliable. In adult hosting, M3 Server is superior to its peers. Its plans start from $20/ month. You should know about your server requirements, bandwidth and RAM plans, SSL certificates and Content Delivery Network. For any assistance, you may talk to the support staff of M3 Server. They are a reputed and trustworthy organization. They have been in the business since 1996. Visit the website here.

Well, this is your only monetary investment. This is an astute investment as free hosting providers enforce a lot of restrictions. For instance, they may command you to display their own hosting banner ads. It is highly likely that their customer service will be deplorable. It is therefore recommended to bet your chances on M3 Server.

Once your domain and hosting platforms are ready, redirect your domain accordingly. From your CrakRevenue account, choose an offer. To begin with, choose PPL (Pay per Lead). Gradually, opt for PPS (Pay per Sale). You just need to create your own offer links. Whenever a cam girl joins a membership site through your offer link, certain commission will be credited in your Payoneer account. If you are not well versed with the process of redirecting your account, ask M3 Server support staff. They will help you.

Upload the videos and make money

Once you download the videos, you have to rename the file. Ensure that the name of the file has some keywords. Make the name all the more attractive. For instance, “Tina having sex for the first time” should be renamed as: “Brunette loses her virginity to a white dick”. At the end of the video, add your domain name or a sentence such as: To view the full video, visit xyz.com. Be consistent in uploading the videos.

To build a porn site, you should purchase a turnkey software. Adent.io has earned a sterling reputation for its diverse range of products. Visit the website here. As an alternative option, you can buy a porn site. In case of any concerns, feel free to ask any questions. Drop a line or two in the comments section. I will answer in a day or two.  I can help you build a porn site as well. Cheers!

How to Start an Adult Toy Store Business Today?

Sex Sells and Sex Toys Sell with Grace

It is no denying that sex sells all over the world and in continents such as North America, sex toys sell with grace. Why is it so? When customers order for sex toys, they need not talk with anyone. They need not look at their neighbors in the eye. Toys are packed and the entire package is wrapped neatly. Nobody knows what is being shipped.

Sex Toy Business

By running an adult toy store, you can make piles of cash. To spice up their sex life, most of the couples of different ages are vouching for sex toys. Also, most of the individuals, especially young women prefer sex toys such as dildos and vibrators to add a little excitement to their self-pleasure activities. Start your own sex toy business and cater to the requirements of such people. You are not alone in this 15 billion US dollar adult sex toy business. You are bound to face intense competition in this profitable business. To build your sex toy business, make use of turnkey software. Internet is full of turnkey software, but not every software is worth purchasing.

Turnkey Software for Sex Toy Business

Purchase a turnkey software for sex toy business that allows you to do the following:

• Brand your retail sex toy store
• Customize the adult toy store
• Identify the best bondage wear
• Set competitive prices

Drop Shipping

No doubt, the entire adult sex toy industry is saturated with drop shippers. For your information, drop shippers are suppliers, generally third party suppliers. You need not maintain any inventory in your store. Whenever you get an order from a customer, list the order on the merchandize of suppliers. It will be directly shipped to the respective address of the customers. This is a proven retail fulfillment method. Unfortunately, this fulfillment method is being exploited as the prices of the toys are tagged at soaring prices every now and then.

How much can you earn?

It is important that you markup the prices of the toys by not more than 30 – 50%. This will fetch you decent amount of profits. In other words, if the whole sale price of a black dildo is $20, you can set the market price as $30. You will be able to earn a profit of $10.

Niche vs Micro – Niche

Adult toys is a very big niche in itself. I recommend you to narrow down to a micro niche. This improves your chances of ruling the micro-niche. For instance, one of the micro niches is Dildos and Dongs. Most of the gay audiences and women looking for sexual self-pleasure are your target audiences. Display dildos and dongs of every possible shade and size.  Some of the types of dildos are enlisted below:

• Vibrating Dildos
• Ejaculating Dildos
• Harness Dildos
• Strapless Dildos
• Suction Cup Dildos
• Double headed Dildos
• Glass Dildos
• Silicone Dildos
• Anal Dildos
• G-spot Dildos
• Large Dildos
• Porn Star modeled Dildos
• Black Dildos

Explore the various categories and sub-categories and try to include them in your store. Your online store should be the ideal destination for anyone who is looking for dildo of his / her choice.

To know more about your target market, target long tail keywords. For micro niches, competition is not so intense. Micro-niches attract more quality traffic. Let me draw an analogy here- If you are targeting the whole adult toy store, you will be getting a very small piece of a very big cake. On the other hand, if you target a micro-niche, you will be able to eat a whole cake!

SEO- Is it really important?

Undoubtedly, SEO is important in any online website business. However, in case of adult toy store business, the role of SEO is limited. You have to spend some decent money on PPC (Pay per Click) campaigns so as to ensure that returns are phenomenal. For instance, you may have to spend around $100 on PPC to identify those long-tail keywords which have low competition and high search volume. Out of 10000 visitors who visit your site, try to convert at-least 500 customers. You will make a fortune!

Tool for keyword Strategy

Most of the webmasters choose tools such as SEO PowerSuite and Semantic Juice to identify long tailed keywords. Not that these tools do not work, but I prefer SEMRush. SEMRush is a complete competitive intelligence package that can help you in social media research. From SEO to PPC, SEMRush offers insights on everything. And yes, it offers valuable insights on video advertising research as well.

Now that you have understood the importance of micro-niche and long-tail keywords in adult sex toy business, let me share my two cents on the various features that you should look for in a turnkey software for sex toy business.

Adult Payment Gateways

The whole purpose of starting an adult toy store is to make profits. If the turnkey software for sex toy business doesn’t come with PayPal integration, payment collection from customers becomes difficult. Ensure that the marketplace you choose has a provision for Cash on Delivery as well.

Drop Shipping API

This has become a necessary evil. An ideal marketplace should support product inventory of at-least 50000+ toys from leading brands and top manufacturers. Moreover, the turnkey software product should have a provision for discreet shipping and variable pricing.

XML and CSV Feed Importer

This module or feature should allow the marketplace administrator to download product feed in CSV and XML format. Apart from this, he / she must be able to bulk upload products through this module.

Completely Customizable

When it comes to customization, sex toy marketplaces should come with a multitude of themes, colors, logos and content blocks. It is even better if the marketplaces are built on popular frameworks such as WordPress.

Responsive Design

Online sex toy stores should look pixel perfect on all devices such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops and desktops. This is possible only if the marketplace is built by using Bootstrap 3 framework.

Smart Search Filters

If your potential customers are searching for dildos of various sizes, this feature should essentially help them. In other words, smart search filters should help shoppers search for sex toys by price, color, location, ratings, reviews, category and sub-category.

Coupon Code

Sex toy marketplaces should let you reward your loyal customers by offering discount coupons on various toys. Coupons can be of flat price or percentage on the toys’ price. Adult toy marketplaces should allow you to create unlimited coupons. You should be able to set the expiry date accordingly.

Search Engine Optimization

In sex-toy business, SEO plays a limited role. However, you cannot afford to miss a few foundational features such as Meta title, Meta description etc. Each and every toy should be associated with a relevant keyword. Adult toy marketplaces should have adequate features for better indexing and ranking. They should help you create search engine friendly URLs.

Robust Administrator Functionality

Administrators of sex toy marketplaces should have access to back-end functionality. They should be able to manage user profiles and grant access privileges. They can create invoices, configure payments and leverage features such as email notification, drop shipping API etc.

Revenue Models

Here comes the most interesting part- The very purpose of starting a sex toy business is to earn piles of cash. This can be achieved only if your marketplace supports various types of revenue models such as:

• Amazon Affiliate program
• Adult Sex toys affiliate program
• Subscription model
• Banners and advertisements
• Commission on Drop Shipped toys

I have been in this business for the past 10 years and I can assert that xMarketplace product of Adent.io has all the aforementioned features. They are running a holiday deal on various products. The company is highly reliable and their customer service is praiseworthy. Do visit www.adent.io for further details.
