Photographer looking to launch site (need help!?)
 

Greetings All, I'm Jay, qualified photographer with experience in glamour, fetish and such. I am looking to set up a profitable Adult/Alt/fetish website over the next year. I have no experience in website building and currently use a template website (mrsite) which is too costly and I'll be changing.

As a photographer with a studio, equipment, use of models and knowledge of legal process (release forms etc) the content isn't an issue. However I have no idea how the industry works, how to profit from a website and how to build one on a budget.

I understand that this is not a 'get rich quick' industry and I'm prepared to put a lot of hours in to make it work. My current generic photography work can be seen by request.

I need step by step advice from those who know the industry best. Any contributions would be most welcome.

I'd love to help you with the website but as far as other advice goes...maybe someone else? I am giving you a friendly bump though ;)

That's awesome, I have two main problems... a) how to actually design/build the site, allowing for member area/space for advertisement and sponsored promotion (whichever makes money) and b) How to actually make the money!

It seems you're the man for problem (a) : ) do you have an email address that I can have? It would be easier to communicate through there as I feel this may be a substantial series of problem I may have to throw at you if you're willing : )

Hey there,

Hit me up on ICQ (in sig) or webmaster [at] suckerpunchmedia dot com. I have experience in helping sites launch and would be interested in learning more about your niche as well as checking out your style of photography.

Good luck on your journey, there is a lot thing to do to take your first step.

Give me a pm at garylee at cuntrybabes dot com. We have a deal where we build, host, and give you a good CMS, at no cost to qualified accounts.

1. design and build = PornCMS.com

2. marketing = MarketMofo.com

have a good day.

I have built several websites for solo models, so I have done this before. For the website design you can hire a local to design and build one for you. That can cost anywhere from $500 to $2k, depending on what you need. For making money there are really 2 models; 1) selling the content (such as picture packs or videos) either on your site or on a site such as clips4sale or pics4sale, and 2) use a membership model where members have access to the content that you produce. One people like one model over the other but it all depends what you want to do.
