a question for webmasters.
 

guy/gals/others - I'm putting a site up with produced content, along with user generated content. I'm thinking march 2018... have domain purchased. webmaster stuff is outside my skills set.

I'd really like to read some experienced thoughts about such a venture... and I'm considering whom I would trust to run the site. more than likely a local guy, that's in the LA area Cally. thanks in advance guys... BMB

That pretty sad when you run a real business thread and there are no replies -- weeeee GFY 2017!

In my experience it is hard to trust people, but considering you will do, try to think in segments, cause webmastering is a wide concept. For example you should try to put Traffic in a segment, and Branding in a segment, and put 2 different talents on this. What I always did was Mind Mapping the whole concept and on this way I could see who could do what.

If you are searching for a sort of Office that does this kind of things in a sort of Webmaster Package I would not be able to help you into a direction. But for sure it sounds like you need a consultant, and a few here are on the board. They can help you start up with the first steps, and show you into the (hopefully) right direction.

Your website will be something like a video picture site where users can participate in? Only the billing, mobile and payment options for that to make a 24.7 income is already a job on its self, interactive concepts like this need a serious ground layer cause when they sky rocket after a good start up then there is no time to solve problems anymore.

Hopefully you will get some experts here on your thread, good luck!
If you need affiliate traffic, please hit me up, I have always room for new sponsors...

If the site involves your dog I'll help. Setting up paysites is second nature to me very easy. Maintaining them is super easy. 17 years with my paysites easy street now.

thank you very much

complete waste of type, as usual :2 cents:

" more than likely a local guy, that's in the LA area Cally. thanks in advance guys... BMB" <<<There is your problem -- you are limiting your options geographically.

Also if you look at the number of page views there must not be that many people around here in the *business*

The hard part is getting quality traffic to the site for cheap or no money. Takes time and patience

So basically, you have nothing ....

A business plan ? A targeted audience ? A marketting plan ....

I am doing a mainstream project at this moment :

- domains , corporation done,
- Vanity 888 phone number done, fax ( yes, fax ) done ( virtual ), UPS store mailbox done.
- products/services clearly defined and price structure completed
- Website 90% completed ( french translation to do )
- demo site completed
- targeted clients/market identified, list obtained thru various government agencies
- advertising campain already planned out ; postcards to be sent by snail mail, advertising adwords, advertising placement in specific media ( online as on paper ).
- Budget for starup in place, available
- backup staff/help in case it starts faster then I anticipate

I read your post and I see that you have an idea to make a website ( or get a website done I should say ) and that is it ....

Not serious.

What's your skype.

Hehehe... offer still stands

more like peeps in the biz that I know running programs aren't 'here'

uh I have all that stuff, and I'm not telling you. and actually your view that a man that has shot content and SOLD content consistently for over 17 years is not a serious guy... what ever hot shot :2 cents:

All the good people have left and gone mainstream, it pays better.

the ones good enough Paul :2 cents:

So you're not good enough for mainstream stream? Huh

Hi me up on Skype, I have time this week to work on this. :thumbsup
Been working in the biz since 2000.

In my experience, if you want it done right... then you MUST do it yourself. It's like anything, you have no idea how cold the water is, until you dive in. You can plan your life away, just dive in and learn, learn, and learn some more.

If your content is good and unique, it will sell.

Not to scare you off... but here is a list, in no particular order, that you will need.

Content management - local working copy, local backup, off site back up

Webdesign - graphics and an HTML5 responsive design

Web programming to automate the site

Lightroom and photoshop - post processing content

Finl cut pro - post processing video content

Billing company

Cash site for affiliates to get promo links and content from

Vacres.com hosting, best support in 15 years of being in business and three hosting companies later

There's a lot more... but that's a starting place. If you learn all of those skills, your costs will be minimal.

I will sell you my template for $50,000.

Good luck

I'm in cali (tahoe). I built and run pornharmony.com, tubesafari.com, pornado.co, and many more.

I would potentially be willing to work with you in exchange for percents and exclusive content for my network.

Feel free to email me:
[email protected]

I would love to see some of your content that you have produced in the past.

:thumbsup

going to shoot some content then see who I want to work with... I just orderd the 4k vid cam and beside I can't work with creepy racist :2 cents:

I'm NOT going to learn those skills. producing content is a full time job :1orglaugh

bmb, porn, images.... get busy

we´ve had all this & worked a successful studio in the UK, now here filming on our own websites, less hassel now we´re just trying to chill out in the sun...

answer´s above tbh...

we´re serious contenders, spent thousands, earnt more, alas, when I post, I get trolled...

shame on GFY 2017 :2 cents:

OK, first, get the site, put it together, get some traffic in and get it running before worrying about a webmaster. If the site is going to work, you´ll know this within the first month :thumbsup


good luck GrapeS btw :thumbsup

sign up to ModelCentro: Award-Winning Paid Fan Club Platform & become part of a huge community with ModelCentro helping with banner designs & you just have to update your images & videos...


get it running before Christmas & have another grand or 2 in your pocket :thumbsup

In this case it's more about the OP than it is about business threads on GFY.

People have seen his "new shoot" threads and don't want to be working with him on sites with his content :1orglaugh

those are interesting options... none of the models I know personally use modelcentro. they are using other platforms.

I forgot to mention, I produce my own content too. It can be done :)

Amazing... Somebody here actually makes ( or wants to make) new content....that makes 3 of us :thumbsup:thumbsup

We make and sell our content now for 11 years ( and mainstream about 25)
Good luck !

Suggestion: Have a LIVE component as Live content can not be stolen and is always fresh. Be it live chat, video chat affiliate, post board, but LIVE is an important component. Good luck with your project, there is still $$$ in ADULT, think unique, what can my site bring that is somewhat different than the others.

Ok, but seriously, how many of us had this when we started? Nobody.

Starting a new business is easier than convincing your friends that your new business is a good idea.

We all have the idea, the drive, and especially the motivation, but its sometimes very hard to convey and convince others that these are all genuine. Try talking to a bank about your grand idea for example. They won't care too much.

This should never mean that you don't try. Entrepreneur may not have the money, but they almost always have the time and passion.

Grape, Do this:

First, ask yourself why you need someone else to run the site. Is it because you will be too busy doing other things? Will those other things improve your business?

If not, then run it yourself. You're the only one who understands your vision, so after you build it, you should be the only one to run it, at least at first.

If you can break down running it to a list of daily tasks, then list them, and train someone local to do it. Even better, setup a desk and computer for them in your own home and have them come over to work for you. Sure they can do it from their home, but having them come over at the same time every day (morning?) gives you a set schedule, structure, and free-form collaboration and generation of new ideas though conversation.

Whatever your project is, good luck!

I concur...

working 12-14 hours a day producing content, most days... then take the time to fully understand several new technologies. lean to operate a few extremely compacted apps, and take courses on internet sales and affiliates, learn how to pull traffic.... lol!!

you're a more industrious man than I am sir. :thumbsup

Thanks... :)

Something to consider though, if you are producing content for your own site or sites, you might not have to be shooting every day. Especially if you have a library to rely on.

The costs of hiring people to do all of these things though, will eat into your bottom like significantly. I am not trying to be a douchebag, I am just trying to set you free in the beginning. It took me 10 to 13 years to finally set myself free of hiring work out.

Very few people have a work ethic like you do phil. I know for a fact that outside of spending some time with your wife and kids, your life is nonstop biz, 24/7. Well, and those few rare moments when you take a break to call your good buddy Gunner.

Hey BMB... how you doin' man?!?
