From www.ecommerce-journal.com – Do you want to make money in the adult entertainment industry? Promote porn paysites and earn revenue for every member that signs up. You can build your own adult blog using free online tools even if you are completely new to content promotion. Most adult affiliates work alone and from home.

Basically, there are three ways to promote adult paysites you can consider. They will let you jump into the adult entertainment business without significant investments and decide whether or not this kind of work is for you. They are:

• Free websites
• Galleries
• Blogs

Personal and corporate blogs have become very popular in the last few years. Community sites such as myspace.com, livejournal.com and blogger.com attract millions of users every day. Because of their huge web traffic and ease of use, blogs are often used as an online promotional tool.

Of course, the adult industry could not miss this new trend. However, traditional community sites specify that adult content is not allowed, so they can remove all your hard work without warning. You have to choose other ways to create your porn blog.

The basics of adult blogging:

Adult blogs combine text messages and images from a particular niche. They have numerous links to gallery pages hosted on the sponsor websites, or tour pages for paysites. The messages encourage the surfer to click on the link to get more content.

If the visitor likes the sponsor website and decides to pay for subscription, then the blogger receives commission. Affiliate programs are based on a pay per sign up system ($25-$40) and/or a revenue share formula (around 50%).

In addition, you can get money for webmaster referrals (5%-10%), international sign ups, check sign ups, sign ups for a trial, etc. These commissions and payments can add up to a significant sum over a longer period of time.

Here are some examples of adult blogs: Slutwifegallery.com, Schoolgirlcams.thumblogger.com, Emily18.org, Pastime.biz, Twinkblog.pichack.com, Freeshemaleporns.sensualwriter.com, Lolitasex.thumblogger.com, Sugarbabesblog.com, etc.

Getting started:

In order to create your own porn blog, you need three things:
• Blog software
• Hosting
• Paysites to promote

Before you start blogging, decide what type of content you wish to promote. Choose a niche that you personally like – amateurs, Asians, anal, babes, BDSM, gay, lesbians, MILF, shemale, teens, solo girls, etc.

The next task is to choose a host that allows adult content. If you are a complete beginner in the web world, consider Thumblogger.com, Sensualwriter.com, BlogBugs.org, Adultblogpress.com or 3blogger.com.

They supply a ready made choice of templates for the members to use, so you don’t need to worry about web page design and layout. Just register, choose a template you like and give it a good name.

If you have some programming skills, choose WordPress software and free or low cost hosting (up to $10 per month) – Servage.net, Nobsxxxhost.com, Adult-website-hosting.com, Bounceweb.com, Chilihost.com, etc. WP templates are available on Simple WordPress Themes or Free WP themes.

If you choose the second variant, you will also need a domain register company. Consider NameCheap.com, Moniker.com, Domainsite.com, Xrdomains.com, Name.com (the average price is about $8 – $10 per domain).

Don’t forget about your niche when choosing a good and catchy name for your adult blog. It should be relevant to the content and keywords – in this case the search engines will rank your blog higher.

Choosing an affiliate program:

The next task is to get appropriate content. There are hundreds of profitable affiliate programs you can join. Take advantage of Adult Affiliate Search – this tool will help you analyze which programs are expected to perform well.

Another way to find a good affiliate program is to browse through porn paysites within your chosen niche. If you find a website that you like and want to promote on your blog then look for ‘webmasters’ or ‘affiliates’ link at the bottom of the home page. It will redirect you to the affiliate program of this site.

Of course, you can also talk to other webmasters in adult forums (Gofuckyourself.com, Netpond.com, Pornojunkies.com, Protect-x.com/forum, etc.) about their personal experience in affiliate marketing.

After you join an adult affiliate program you will be able to use their photos, banners and other promotional material on your blog. They have links that will redirect surfers to the promoted website (each link has your broker id number).

Don’t forget about creative and unique text messages. Do your best to grab surfers’ attention so that they want to click on the link and visit the paysite you are promoting. A couple of paragraphs are enough because people tend to scan online texts rather than reading them from start to finish.

Adult blog promotion:

Congratulations, now you have your own adult blog! The next step is to advertise it, which can be a lot more difficult and time-consuming than creating the blog. You can get new visitors from the following sources:

• Search engines. The SE traffic is the key and will bring you the sales. Applying basic search engine optimization techniques to your blog can significantly increase the chances of getting good quality traffic. Pay attention to relevant links to your blog, the title of your web page, the list of keywords included in the meta-tags, the tags of the images, and how many times the keywords are mentioned in the text. Your content should be informative, relevant and exclusive (if you can’t get exclusive images, you can write exclusive text messages).

• Blog directories. Blog directories provide a categorized list of blogs from different niches. Browse through Signbucksdaily list of directories or Xodgroup list of directories to find out where you can submit your blog to.

• Links from other blogs and websites. You can either buy links or exchange them. Just go to adult webmaster forums and find people who have blogs or websites from the similar niche.

If you are going to join the ranks of adult site affiliates, be ready for a lot of work. There are thousands of porn blogs out there, with dozens more being published each day. Luckily, that work can be well rewarded!

Typically, you will make your first sale around 3 months after starting. Some bloggers earn revenue before that period of time, and some even later but this industry average is a good guideline for expectations.
