I continuously see people failing in their porn sites because they don’t really understand the business. Many have unrealistic expectations and when the 20,000 ‘likes’ on Facebook and the 15,000 followers on Twitter, don’t convert into instant sales – when their personal website isn’t make 100x what they put into it (by doing one update a week), then they get disillusioned and stop focusing on what they should be doing … running a business.
I guarantee many readers of this, will be thinking “Oh, that’s fine for him to say, with his huge business and network, making a massive amount of money from our images” but the fact of the matter is, Grooby, like any adult pay site, is in much the same position as you may be. Our income on the websites through membership dollar enables us to stay in business, pay the wages, work on new projects and survive but the profit is less than 20% (on most sites, much less!). Where we’ve increased our profitability is to create a ‘cascade’ of money, which continuously pays smaller amounts to you, but regularly. It requires a mind-shift – you need to stop thinking about the one avenue and why it’s not paying you more, and discover ways of leveraging what else you have and how you can make money from it.
This is going to be a simple way for you to get started on your cascade – and for you to create more avenues for making revenue, regardless of whether you run a pay site, are a cam girl, a model/performer or simply someone who enjoys showing off on social media. If you read my recent post on 2T4FB.com then some of this will be a repeat, but follow these simple guidelines and I guarantee you’ll be bring in more revenue.
1. Have you appeared on a pay site? Or in a DVD? Then signup to that pay sites affiliate program. You can find a full list of them at the bottom of this page, but Groobybucks is what you need if you’ve appeared on ShemaleYum, BlackTgirls, UKTgirls, Femout.XXX, Shemale.PORN, etc. For DVD’s try Hotmovies (webmaster link at the bottom).
Get your specific link from the website and each time you post or promote on your social media, then think about adding it. You can make 50% of that membership every month, so one sale on ShemaleYum.com would bring you back about $16 a month, if that member stays around for 3 months, you’ve made $48 from it. We have affiliates making 100’s of sales a month – and they don’t have the followers or the personal images that you have at your disposal.
If you have a pay site then add the links from inside the site!
2. Apply at 2T4FB.com. You get $5 as soon as you sign up and post, so you’re winning already. Create your profile and add your Twitter account, your cam girl page, and the links you just created above where people can see your content (ker-ching!). Post and promote your content directly from here to your followers on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, etc. You get paid for all the people who click through – so instead of having all those 1000’s of likes or clicks, get paid for it! This is how real business works. Nothing is truly free. You can also promote other people’s content to your followers AND get paid! And of course, all those people clicking get to see your links – and make potential sales back through.
3. Find what cam sites are doing the best deals if you get someone to sign up – and promote it from your website, your Twitter, your 2T4FB to make both the performer fee and the affiliate fee. Some cam sites pay as much as $150 per signup.
4. Dating sites always sell well. Consider advertising these from your pay site, your social networks and 2T4FB.com – or any other avenues you can think of.
5. Work with your friends & fans. Ask them to retweet, share and promote you. Make promises that when you hit landmarks (X amount of followers) that you will give out some free content. Retweet other cam models – and ask them to do the same to you. You can’t afford to compete with buying traffic so you have to use your main asset – yourself – to make people see your content.
6. Make a deal with websites shooting you. Only agree to a shoot, if they put your website or cam link up on your sets. If you have your own affiliate program (all CCBill sites do) then encourage them to signup and promote you.
Following these steps will at least enable money that is currently available to you, to come your direction. Simply leaving it out there, while continuing to show naked pics for free may inflate your ego but not your wallet.
