from www.ecommerce-journal.com – Less popular than before, AVS sites are still used as a stepping stone or a source of income in the adult entertainment industry. The basic idea is simple. You create your own website and add it to one of AVS networks. Any user that joins your site also gets access to hundreds of other sites on the AVS – for a low monthly fee. Thus, the surfer is getting the best bang for a dollar, and you – an additional income.
Introduction to Adult Verification Systems
AVS, or Adult Verification System, is a large network of adult paysites. It works like this: you build your own adult website and put a link code for a certain AVS on your join page. When someone buys the membership from your site, you get paid a commission – up to $60 per sale plus various bonuses.
Basically, an AVS site is like a small paysite. You need to build an attractive tour, write exciting content, and complete it with a join page and a member’s area. Generally, there are two types of AVS sites you can create:
• Shared content AVS. A shared content AVS means that you don’t have to spend your own money on content. Just decide what niche you want to promote and how your website will look like. Your sponsor will offer you a sub-domain and free content to start up. It is very similar to becoming an affiliate.
• Independent content AVS. An independent content AVS site means that you need to buy your own domain and your own content, so all the sites within the network will look different. As you know, the unique content is more interesting for surfers, so you can expect more subscribers.
The biggest attraction of AVS systems for adult webmasters is that they offer a hassle-free way to implement diverse payment processing mechanisms – credit cards, online checks, 1-900 number billing, SMS transactions, etc. Your only job is to maintain and promote your site, all other problems – ongoing annual fees for processing the sales, credit card fraud protection issues, charge backs and refunds – are not your responsibility.
