There are many different ways to build a paysite, and there is not one success formula for everyone. Your first goal would be to determine why you want to start a Paysite:
You would like to take your shot at Internet porn and strike it rich.
This is the most common reason, however people fail to give the webmasters who have run successful sites the credit they deserve. People simply see the highlights: no education, no money, they’re young, and now they’re rich! The reality is that most of these webmasters spend 12-14 hrs a day trying to understand and develop their sites. After months and years go by, they find an innovative idea with a handsome paycheck.
In six years of being employed in the Internet Trade I have not seen one successful person who did not work hard. No one just hired someone to build a site and then they were rich. Do you think there are millions of people that throw their money at net porn daily? No, the people who pay are porn addicts. They know what they want and know what sites are good. If you think paysites are the quickest way to get rich in today’s society, you are about to loose some money. This is one of the most consuming businesses to get into; you are constantly updating, building and promoting. If looking for a little extra income, you are going to need to catch up to speed on the latest tricks and understand how the money is really being made. Honestly I have seen a lot make it in this business and I have seen a lot work hard, but I have never seen someone just get lucky. If you are looking to make money, be ready to put your time in.
You are an experienced web designer and want to diversify your income.
This is a good start; once you catch up to speed on what the online adult industry is doing you have half the battle underway. Web design and knowledge of the Internet are the most crucial parts of being successful in the online adult industry. The funny thing about most people is that they think the Internet is the easy part and getting the product out is the hardest. In fact mastering the Internet is most important, if you have a little sense of marketing and business you should progress well.
You are an exhibitionist or simply love porn and feel you need to have a website.
For the true hardcore amateur, it’s not about the money, it’s about being an exhibitionist. You are seeing more and more couples creating sites of themselves. These sites are mostly free with pay areas to support some extra $$$. If you are thinking you want to start an amateur paysite, there area several ways you can do it. The market will always support original and unique content. With the right promotions you could have yourself a busy little website.
You might want to start by posting some free pics on a free hosting site. This will be your cheapest way for FREE. With some link exchange you can see if your site is becoming popular and debate at that point whether you want to invest a little to get going. If you a thinking of starting your own site I would recommend getting an easy publishing software package and even taking a web design course at your local community college. This will help you advance quickly while producing your own content.
Once you figure out what angle you are coming from into this new industry, you must understand what a paysite is and what it should consist of. A Paysite is simply your tool. Most people believe once they have the paysite they will start making money. The truth is people purchase $25k and up websites promised with huge returns and BAM nothing. It would be like opening a restaurant and it was beautiful, except there was only one problem. The Restaurant was 50 miles out of town on rural street. The odds that you would make money are against you. The same odds apply to any industry, so why would they be any different for online porn.
