Hello GFY we're Max and Lacey & Question
 

Hey there GFY folks,

The email I was sent after my registration approval said I could come here to introduce myself so...here I am! I'm Max, and with my wife Lacey we run a .com of our namesake, (currently redirects to our Tumblr), and corresponding accounts on Twitter, XTube, and a few other 'sell your content' sites. We're looking to upgrade equipment right now, followed by getting an actual non-Tumblr website running and getting hooked up to affiliate programs and (hopefully) more lucrative ways to profit.

My question to all you right now: is there something we could be doing now to make more profit without much initial investment? I don't care how painfully obvious it may seem, we're relatively new to this and still feeling our way through, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

Anyway, thanks for having us, time to go soak up the info on the forums!

Welcome to GFY :thumbsup

welcome buddy!

First order of business should be to find yourself some hosting for that domain. Point it to and hosting all your stuff on Tumblr WILL NOT work in the long run. You don't need to upgrade anything, just spend a few dollars.

You need your own domain. You can start out with a cheap virtual hosting account and a free wordpress theme.

Don't trust any free hosted site/page for your business. It's OK to use tumbler, twitter, others for traffic and branding exposure but as feeder sites for your own domain. If you get into some dispute with a free host they will just delete your site and its content -- not an uncommon occurrence. Realistically, you will have no recourse in the matter -- up shit's creek without a paddle.

Oh, welcome to GFY.

<rant>Meantime, make sure you have made email and mobile SMS methods available to reclaim your account. One of my old Yahoo messenger accounts refused to login this morning, Yahoo in their dumb shit wisdom, decided I hadn't read their mail, and logged in. So, they just suspended the account arbitrarily, invalidating the old password. I recovered the account after 20 minutes of fucking around, in the end changing the password with a SMS code log-in. You won't have this sort of bullshit with your own server -- you make the account policies. Welcome to the free service internet. Basically, the free service providers don't give a fuck about your needs -- they want you to create content and be a user, or creating traffic for them, that they can sell ads to reach. That's is how "free" is monitized online. </rant>

Welcome to the zoo, guys ...

Welcome to the board

welcome :)

Welcome to GFY! :)

As someone who runs 80+ paysites and has worked with a number of couples in this business let me give you the Best Advice I can here:

NO ONE can run all three aspects of an adult web business purely by themselves. You can run TWO of these three things, but not all three:

Create content
Manage the website (webmaster)
Get traffic/grow the biz

Sure some can do it FOR AWHILE but inevitably it leads to tension and break-ups. So choose which two areas of this biz you want to focus on and get someone else to handle the third thing. Most couples can shoot their own content and maybe run their own site but need help with traffic. Some couples are Webmasters and traffic gurus but do not shoot content.

Thing is, when you are a couple shooting content, and it turns into a business, at first you are so happy! Look at all the money coming in! But then the pressure to build it, grow it and keep it going starts to mount and then suddenly you find yourself having to fuck for a living (to keep the site going) and not because you are happy and in love anymore. At that point, it's only a matter of time before you split. And then the real headaches begin!

So if you want to stay together try and partner with someone more experienced who could help you navigate these issues. BEST of luck to you both!! :)

Thanks for your responses so far guys, we really enjoying this board and it's content so far! This is definitely our new favorite message board - by far.
