I came across a few markets that i can exploit in the adult industry but i dont know if porn sites are actually worth the time and effort to rank or even make?


IN YOUR EXPERIENCE
what kind of revenue can you expect to make? based on all of the projects you've launched.
 
I have a long term friend in this adult space that earns big. She has worked that space for over 7 years now and loves it. I have no experience in that space, but I know first hand that earnings well into 6 and 7 figures is there for the taking if you are smart about it and love the space.
 
Adult websites are very profitable...sex always sells :)
Porn sites do very well if they generate enough traffic.
If you look at some of the top porn sites (ie pornhub.com, youporn.com, etc) look at the ads on the sites and you will find penis pills, cam sites and adult dating offers.
If anyone is interested in adult dating offers...hit me up on skype.
 
Are you trying to create porn sites or you're trying to promote porn related offers? While it's extremely profitable to run adult offers i can't say the same for creating a porn site - it's too much work and too time consuming.
 
As mentioned above it can be great if you have the experience necessary to build up the traffic. Prepare to put in some heavy hours but it is well worth it in the long run if you're willing to stick with it.
 
It really depends on your vertical/niche. Membership sites are getting tougher because of all the free content available on the tube sites like pornhub, xhamster, etc. If you have the ability to produce quality custom content that satisfies a serious niche, then yes there is a lot of money to be made. It is not the gold rush by any means these days where you can spend $100 to make $10k.

With that said, I know plenty of guys still making a good living running their own membership sites that serve a very niche market.
 
I am not sure about adult sites but good money nowadays is made with adult paid traffic (aka media buys) You can buy traffic from an ad network on CPM and/or CPC (depends on how this network works) and then send this traffic to relevant offers (adult, dating, male enhancement, etc.) that pay per action (most often - per lead/signup). The point here is to make sure that your earning-per-click (EPC) or per thousand impressions (eCPM) is higher than what you have actually paid for those clicks or impressions respectively. This (hopefully) positive difference s where your profit comes from. Good media buyers see sweet margins of 30-50% using this approach and some can even reach 100%+ ROI in certain instances.

Our adult ad network TrafficHunt has plenty of web and mobile (banner and popunder) premium adult tube traffic worldwide (billions of impression, including some completely exclusive placements) that comes with deep targeting, detailed analytics, real-time bidding and quality support. If interested, I can be contacted via Skype together.partners or email alex.l@traffichunt.com
 
The adult industry is one of the most lucrative industries on the net. But with that being said you got find your approach. It could take years to earn solid money off a tube site, however advertising on one is a whole different ball game though.
 
I am interested in creating an Adult tube site. Here is what steps I have gathered so far...

  1. get a domain name
    1. namecheap
  2. get a web host (pick one)
    1. AmeriNOC.com - CDN, Shared, Reseller, VPS and Dedicated Web Hosting Services
    2. Managed Dedicated Servers and VPS Hosting by M3Server.com
    3. Storm On Demand | Cloud Servers & Cloud Hosting | A Liquid Web Company
    4. Beyond Hosting | Dedicated Cloud Servers, Virtual Private Servers, CDN and More!
  3. get an adult tube site CMS or script (pick one or combine)
    1. Tube Script by Mechanical Bunny Media
    2. AdultCentro - Global B2B marketplace for adult content licensing
  4. Get Content for the site
    1. ?? any good suggestions?
  5. drive traffic to the site
    1. SEO (long term strategy)
    2. buy traffic (mobile redirect, mobile pops, mobile plug, mobile pop under, etc)
    3. Social
  6. monetize traffic
    1. run own ads/banners etc for various CPA offers
    2. sell banner space to media buying networks
    3. sell other type of traffic like redirects or pops to other networks
    4. or provide some free and some premium content for either VoD (pay perview) or monthly service
I read jay's blog posts, good read by the way, but its still missing something. He mentioned 1 location to buy legit content from, but that was it. Anyone else has a complete end to end guide on this or is willing to spend some time with me on either skype or phone? would really appreciate it :)

Like they said "sex sells" and it is still profitable. Why do you think people still creates tube sites even when there are tons of them already exist.
This is because they still do earn, our adnetwork Trafficbroker.com do give premium rates for adults sites including tubesites allowing them to earn well especially if their traffic is from tier countries.
