Thanks for your valuable feedback what I would like to ask then is do you have an affiliate program that will work well on my Facebook group I would use these funds in the interim to start building my porn site which would be all free and I would get sales from the users through the many teaser trail video affiliate links is this a good approach? If so can you recommend a good seo specialist, do you have content?
I guess I can’t have a paid access site unless it’s a white label but even then I wouldn’t get recurrings as much as my own porn site
You won’t be able to promote or link to any adult site from Facebook, all such links are automatically blocked and should you manage to get a link to work they will eventually delete your group, it’s happened many times.
Affiliate marketing can be profitable but it’s a lot of work and you will find it hard to build up traffic. Using trailers and previews is a tried and tested approach but you will need to host them yourself and would be competing with some major sites.
SEO agencies can help but it’s expensive, for example you would probably need to spend $1000+ per month to get anything out of it. That’s a big cost to cover through a new site doing affiliate marketing.
It really comes back to what can you offer what others do not. What makes your site special and draw visitors back to you? Retention and bookmakers are very important. But if you have a good product it can be very successful.
I’m sorry to be negative but it’s better to be aware of the reality behind adult businesses.
Thanks gaydemon for all the information I assume gaydemon.com is yours great site !
So my USP will simply be to review the best videos sites etc and place them up on a daily and weekly basis with seo and link exchanges , I know this will take many many years but i am
Completely willing to put the work in. I may actually go more for a niche or a specific affiliate area such as straight guys seduced and similar sites I know a lot of gay guys like myself like straight men would that work as a niche and keep the audiences coming back I have seen some of the best seduced videos out there I agree it has to be a niche so my niche would be
Guys seduced by straight any feedback would be greatly appreciated I think a you say it’s pointless going In for all areas I see your site does that but it would take an incredible amount of time I’m outnumbered and more likely to succeed with this niche so you agree?
So basically the idea would be to hunt the internet first for all affiliate programs that have straight seduced videos , on top of that also where real straight guys play a dominant role…
I could have top rated videos on the top etc the niche seems pretty small so I am a little pessimistic .
However I don’t know a site where all these videos are put together maybe I have spotted a gap here .I think this could cause retention
Once more successful I guess I could make my own content down the line.
I myself search different types for this niche could I have your honest option guys would this work?
Also adding to the equation an emphasis on book marking
And sorry for asking for
So much advice your advice has saved me a lot of time and money and I am truly appreciative.
Well… what you’re describing is something that’s been done since affiliate marketing first started. You find a niche and promote it using content from sponsors that match it. It’s tried and tested, it works. However its a bit late to start now, it used to be very easy to build traffic but it’s become harder and harder. It’s now dominated by a few big players.
What you are suggesting is fine and something that can work but you need to build it on top of an idea, a service that offer something more than others do. Why would someone go to your site offering exactly the same thing as many other large sites do (even taking into account the niche you choosen)? How can you make your site stand out? You mentioned you have a facebook group, is that built around a theme? Are people interacting and posting on the group? Having an active community that posts, comments and contributes would for example be something that others might not have.
Take a look at some popular sites, why do people use them? In my case with gaydemon.com it’s not the promo content and free videos that is unique or built up the brand. GayDemon is known as something you can trust when you want to find out about sites (reviews) and it’s got a big community of very loyal authors and readers that keep coming back (stories). The rest is just fluff or advertising.
Or take a site like https://guyswithiphones.com/, its hugely popular because it’s got an active community of guys who submit selfies, very very hot guys… and their fans who interact with each other. A true amateur community.
And there’s blogs like queerclick.com who’s known for their blog posts, pushing out out lots of great posts on a daily basis but they also cornered the market by focusing on an Asian audience.
If you really want to be successful you have to have a great idea that will attract visitors.
Thanks so much for your response it’s truely appreciated.
I have just made a group specifically for gay guys that find straight gays attractive.
Other than the niche I have thought about this and the USP is that I live in university town with over 50k student lots of hot straight guys ,ironically it’s.” a very popular Sports town so lots of hot guys going to the gym…and keeping fit ,
So the emphases will be on me daily making posts with my phone of guys hanging out having a drink etc , also I have encouraged members to share these posts… feedback would be most appreciated .
I hope this idea build a foundation on the niche I’m trying to target.
As you suggested I want users to keep coming back for the hot spotted studs full of …endorphins:)
I think it’s a good theme especially considering you have a group around that theme. However, I won’t even go into the legality of posting photos of random guys without their consent. That’s something you will have to look into yourself.
Hi gaydemon thanks again for your advice I have already started my focused gay group on gay guys that like straight guys.
As you mentioned Facebook does not allow you to post to adult sites ,as an alternative I’m thinking about setting up a link which will allow the users to enter basic info such as name email so that down the line I can email those members to my site, what do you think on this.
Btw I do have access to a very sold gay list 100k fresh per month I don’t have the funds to purchase it I’m wondering if we could collaborate on it somehow thanks for your time
As I tried to tell you before, buying and selling email lists is not a good idea. Sending out unsolicited emails is now illegal and can get you in a lot of trouble.
Absolutely don’t do this. You will be in a whole load of trouble with not much to show for it. Also, I very much doubt it has 100k ‘fresh’ a month. How is that measured?
Hi gaydemon so my thoughts on a niche would be a paid access video chat site like a chav/straight gay site as my fb group is built around this theme, so the users primary ability will be to video chat with multiple users all in one room no models amateurs ,putting guys together that fancy these type of guys this worked really well before infact I got around 500 k members on that a kind of scallyladscam site with a paid entrance or free access with the ability of more features if they upgrade ,could I have your opinion on this please and what would be the best way to get traffic I used to use the invite a friend feature but per my research this would again GDRP regulations as I do not have the receivers consent to receive the invite even with an opt-out feature.
So I guess the best way would be to setup link exchanges and also I could setup a page where members of my Facebook group e.g email ,name etc and they could add there details to my list and receive notifications about the site (thus giving consent to receive these notification)
Your feedback has been and continues to be of great value you have saved me a lot of time and money ,
Thanks a lot!
I don’t agree look at squirt.org it doesn’t have an app loaded up has gay programs that convert and even sexsearch has programs also squirt gets 25 million hits per month and it’s a paid service so I’m not understanding where your coming from
Squirt was started around the same time as I started, 20 years ago. They carefully built up the site over that time. That’s why they are so big today. They’re are great example though of what people want.
Sex search, adult finder etc etc don’t sell at least on affiliate traffic.
You should do what you feel is right, no option will be easy. But what I’m pointing out is that you have to look at the competition and see if you can create something better than they offer.
Bjorn - I think Squirt.org’s “app” is a mobile optimized website, not an app. As GayMeetNow mentioned, there’s nothing in the app store, and when you go to their website and login it looks just like the screenshot on the app page you linked to.
