Don't only promote what YOU like. There are millions of surfers out there who are into a ton of things I myself, or you, would never be into. Many are willing to pay to get it. None of them care what YOU the site owner is into. Find those niches and give it to them. Shemale, gay, lego sex, balloons, hard bondage, whatever, if it's legal it's fair game and you can bet someone out there wants it. Present each one as if it's your all time favorite. Over time see which ones sell. Give those ones top billing but still include the others.



Main question for any site, especially these days.
I would disagree about promoting what you don't like. The odds of understanding what a surfer will like drop increasingly and the time is better spent on promoting porn you do like and understand.

It's as crazy as me shooting gay porn.

Tubes are the biggest threat today. For 99.99% there is no real need to buy porn when tubes are better for consumers. Giving consumers a reason to pay for porn on the site one promotes or owns is essential.

So why do so few sites give that?

Are they waiting for VR to be too expensive for Tubes and so essential for consumers, people will have to pay for it?
