dongbros

Hey y'all, intro thread. I happened to stumble across posts at another forum about affiliate sites for cam sites, and I had some domains, and figured - why not just stick something on the domains? Certainly doesn't hurt! (though, I do spend quite a bit of time making fun images now for my Insta/Twitter) Then I found this forum and it seems like this is a more professional-type place, so here I am.

I really just started doing it a little over a week ago. I assume linking my site is fine here, and yeah - the URL is, uh, interesting? dongbros dot com, not sure if links are allowed at all yet, lemme know if I should remove even this from my post plz!

Started it a little over a week ago, and so far just set up an Insta and a Twitter. I really don't like the idea of just stealing content, so everything I post is definitely an "original creation" though I find images from sites other than CB that have images from cams (and then I generally filter over faces, never include nudity). I have no fucking idea what I'm doing, especially in regards to the writing involved with promoting this kinda stuff, so I ended up going a little wonky and making the site $SHIB themed.. Yeah, it doesn't really make sense, but fuck it, it fits in with Twitter at the moment and I'm HODLing myself. (insta - @dongbroscams - yeah SCAMS but that's not the actual website domain so no biggie, twitter - @dongbrosC) I actually talked to some of the models before I used any image of them, especially for the ones that mention their page - figured getting permission made sense and they seem to like how weird the images I make are.

Anyway I would have never thought about this before, I still don't know how well I'm going to do at it if I just maintain this course - I got 8 registrations by the end of October, sitting at $48.58 payout (though I'm confused why that number doesn't carry over into the November stats?). I've got a blogger blog that I am planning on using to just detail the process of making the site, so that I can link to the site on it and don't have to mark the blog as being adult (since the actual link to the site has the 18+ warning itself and no content on the blog will be "adult"-themed), and free hosting that right now just has a sitemap.xml, and they don't allow adult content at all so I've gotta think up something, I might just make it like a fake design agency's page with examples of my design work being dongbros.com, the insta, and the Twitter page. (not to actually try to trick anyone, it will be presented as a joke, but it'll have the links by God)

Definitely considering just writing something from scratch or working with code that's out there already. I have to imagine being able to get all pages indexed with Google and being able to have ads on the site is taking things to a totally different level, and it seems easy enough though I have to figure out the hosting situation. (I'd love to hear from anyone who can speak to how much better it is to run a real legit site vs a white label)

I'm primarily a backend web developer / DBA but I do front-end, I can do design (poorly, sometimes okay, usually just CSS and buttons so I just go crazy if I need to do more than that, see my social media images for my high quality work), I do server admin stuff (IIS, Apache, DNS, web servers, etc) - I've done a little bit of everything when it comes to the web and mobile apps. I wonder if any of these camsites are looking for devs, I just moved and I'm looking for a full time thing. Also something I never would have considered before.

And I have a domain that I hosted my own website on for a long time, that has plenty of links on the web still, and I think that's what I should use once I have a solid idea. It's a better domain name than DongBros, but I've really started to like DongBros to be honest. :D

I'd certainly love to get impressions from y'all here who know what you're doing, as far as how fucking weird the shit I've done so far is LOL (or hopefully I've done a few things that are good, of course I would be ecstatic to hear that haha) - and I'm more than happy to give help/advice on any programming/scripting/server stuff that I have had experience with for sure. Someone wants to team up on something? I'm down for whatever. I'm just here to have fun and learn and of course, make money. But, if I just have fun, that's cool. If I find that I can legit make money doing this, that would really be dope. Anyway, I write long intros, it's a sickness I have, but hopefully I'll hear from some of y'all. I'll certainly appreciate any responses!
