First post intro + Advice needed
 

New to the site and this is my first post, I don't know all of the do's and don'ts just yet, so please forgive any rookie mistakes!

I am a photographer / videographer working with models primarily in the Midwest for now. I started a website ( spxlmag . com ) to show my work and developed that into a membership / paysite for access to photos and videos I have shot. Mostly just nude videos and photos. As the site grew, it was slowed by poor construction and bad webhosting. I rebuilt the site with better construction and a faster webhost, but it came at a cost - being a one man show, I felt had to take some time away from posting new content on the site and social media( my #1 source of traffic was Instagram from my page and models ) for a few weeks to rebuild, I returned to deactivated pages for both my personal and website accounts claiming "terms violations" Also many YouTube videos were flagged and removed in this time .

At this time I have a solid website ( still needs some bugs fixed here and there ) with over 50 photo sets + 1 added each week of a diverse catalog of models , an only fans with BTS from the pro shoots posted on my website, no Instagram accounts, and no real online presence . I'm a solid content creator, but have been thrown off my path on the business end. I am looking for some advice on the following.

How to gain traffic to the website?
How to quickly rebuild Instagram + social accounts?
OnlyFans strategy is it worth it, how to promote it?
Affiliate System - is it worth it?

Any help is appreciated

Clickable link for you.

Welcome !

Thank you!

For traffic I would suggest creating galleries and putting them on various babes sites.

Join process. Took me a bit to realize I needed to scroll down.
Says $24.95 and that changes to $25 even. Many a surfer will think WTF.
Clunky join process. I should be clicking one of the membership tiles and having it show as selected instead of a drop down menu.

Thanks for that, is there a good list of babe sites here?

Also, on the Join process when I updated the site I forgot to update the pricing, so I fixed that.

Good Point about the order of the content maybe move the tiles to the top so you see them right away and make them clickable instead of the dropdown

Welcome to the zoo. Post some samples of your work.

Off top of my head, definebabe.com and babepedia.com, but this is not my niche so others might help you more with that.

:thumbsup

Thank You

My account is so new, I cant post any links here - I would say check out the site for now, it's all my work ( except for 1 set with Carina called NYC ), and as soon as I can upload to this post I will

Welcome to Hell!

Welcome :)

Do you shoot a lot of video with your models or mostly photos?

I run a ton of paysites and can probably help you out with info (contact me on ICQ or Skype to chat) but the real question is: what do you WANT to do? Be a shooter (just work with the models, produce the content) or do you also want to be a Webmaster and a traffic generator?

Once we determine which path you are most interested, and it could be both, then it's easier to give advice. If you just want to produce the content and are handling the Webmaster duties because you have to then info dumping tech strategies may just overwhelm you. LOL :)

Hey man I really loved your content!
Keep the hard work and focus on less things, learn how to delegate tasks

Thank you for the WARM welcome

Thank you for the reply, I shoot video as much as possible. Usually produce a 5 min video edited to music and record the full BTS of the shoot when I can. I was trying to start a video / podcast before covid

I would love to chat with you, to be honest I am more of a content producer, I built the website because I wanted to control my work and content and stop giving it away to others who sold it. Then I had to learn about everything else that came along with that. ( rookie move ) I have heard, and in a lot of ways believe that if the difference between making a few thousand a month and doubling that is doubling the reach - so if I HAVE to do it on my own I will, but if there are other ways or people more equipped to make it happen I'm open to that .

Thank you, I checked out your site - amazing work!

As soon as I get a game plan I want to delegate the tasks, I've done it all myself from the website to the content, but there is only so much time in a day

Welcome to GFY

Welcome to GFY.

Thank you!

Glad to be here and learn

Yeah man reach out next week on Skype or ICQ (see sig). Maybe I can help you out with some resources. At the very least I'll share some tips that will get you there a lot faster. :)

Thank you so much, I will reach out to you in the coming week!

nice models, quality content, and a good looking site.

trying to be a webmaster is a common mistake most producers make when getting on the web. in my opinion, it is a huge waste of time and energy to build your own site. run it, market it, sure, but there are a lot of geeks that can build it. or you can get a plug-and-play hosted site manager like the amazing PornCMS.

:2 cents:

Great site and welcome to GFY!

Sounds like a kind nice way of saying I'm screwed HA

Thanks for checking out the site and the kind words

Thanks a lot, still working on it and learning from such a great resource

Email me or send me on skype, I can send you something to read.
if you don't want to read, see Sig :thumbsup

Very nice site! That's a good start :thumbsup

Welcome!

Thank you, will hit you up tomorrow

Thanks a lot, still some work to do but on the right track

Not my niche so I will leave the advice to the experts - However, the site looks great and I have seen enough straight content to know those are some amazing models...

Good luck!....

Speaking with The Porn Nerd privately will probably yield you the best results financially, IMO. Nice content and good luck!
