New here - saying hi/need advice
 

Hey guys, new here (and to the industry).

Been slanging online in various diff markets/businesses since 2008 so not a total n00b, however it's been a snoozefest and so now I'm making a switch to porn/adult.

To do this, I just started googling and TLDR --> paid someone to help, built 2 tube sites this week, but Im getting shady vibes from this guy so gonna continue without him.

Im big on speed and execution, so looking for shortcuts to learning and leveraging. No handouts and I dont expect free.

What advice/resources/connections would you give me on making my first $5 in porn niche? Not looking for churn/burn...looking for long term plays.

TIA and nice to meet everyone

Welcome and sorry to hear about the falling out though not sure what they have done or not done that caused you to pull the plug? Seems short notice

I'd be happy to talk privately just to see where you're at (no charge) and maybe give some advice - perhaps recommend someone for areas that need help.

Was this person helping you by designing? programming? populating? traffic? SEO? Legal? Marketing? Networking to webmasters?

Did this person also give you a timeline as to what to expect during this start up? What is it exactly are you needing help with now that you feel has been missed?

Hey @TheLegacy...

Appreciate the response and thanks for the warm welcome.

Essentially, he says he knows how to make money with tube sites. So for lack of a better word, a "system" that he's been using since 2013.

What made me pull the plug is a mix of:

1. Going "step by step" with me on very elementary stuff

2. Refusing to give me any sort of clear path for future timelines (as he said "this isn't get a lambo in 20 days"). Yea, no shit.

2. Wanted access to no-go zones, such as admin access to sites, Google Webmaster Tools, and even requested domain registrar access (all denied by me of course). Considering I met him online and have known him since Oct 4th, big red flag.

Long story short, I feel like I'm getting fishhooked until the "next step" would eventually be "Great! Now connect all of this to MY bank account or none of this will work".

Not sure if his "system" is even valid at this point, so some advice/system like "Hey welcome to porn. Here's a few biz models that work and have growth potential. Wanna learn/implement faster? Here's my payment link."

Something to that extent.

Great answer and yes does give me a clearer idea as to what happened.

Ok - for SEO he should have access to GA4 which includes access to Google Search Console - but that's where it ends. Nothing more.

Do I assume the tube scripts were bought and not created?
How was he going to populate them? You can't scrap them anymore since as a tube owner you'll need the doc's to go along with them which many are not happy to give. So you can't just throw up any movies there

Was there a niche or was a tube(s) that covered various niches?
As far as bank accounts - you should have registered your company and created your own bank account so that whatever processor used the monies go directly to you.

Did he even mention a lawyer? If you're creating a tube you'll need a lawyer on retainer and figure out where to keep the doc's

Setting up GA4 and keywords should be relatively easy - along with any blogs etc. but there are other social networks you can get involved with including Reddit. BTW don't always go for the easiest keywords as the website weight will always go to strong sites than yours - mix it up

Important thing is from what I see is you stopped a potential site killing situation so that's good and you learned your lesson from it.

I'd like to speak to you on Skype if you can get it so we can talk further... again no charge. I'd like to go over things an see what's been done and that there are no errors. Hopefully I can offer some advice in moving forward and put you in contact with those who will help you along properly. If there tube(s) are legit and properly set up - then it's a matter of legal and processing - then populating (which takes time). If the plan is to carry some affiliate programs on there I can also guide you to the right people after you chose what you want. Keep in mind this is YOUR project - YOUR baby. Always love what you do - and create what you love. So always the questions will be in relation to that.

Finally - getting everything settled (if you have a good programmer/designer etc) the process should only take a month or so. Building social network is ongoing but results should be seen within 3 to 6 months. During this time you work on upsells - (not to many) but ones you'll see that will make you money. Once you determined that based on conversions you'll be ready. Now wait until you see traffic coming in - work out the bugs - fix any problems ongoing then and ONLY then do you consider buying traffic but start in limited quantities to see what and who works well with you. Estimate approx 500$ - 1k$ on each traffic company to test but that will increase. The rest depends on your budget.

There obviously are a few other things in there but that's an overview right there - but always you should have control - see everything that's going on. Your best case scenario is to have the right people running things while now you take time to network to get new content on your tube(s). That's ongoing - and negotiations are up to you based on your budget. I don't know what your forecast is or your ROI but standard should be around 2 years before profit is realized.

Great insights and questions. Thank you.

Adding you on Skype and I can knock out those questions.

Appreciate your help my man.

Welcome and best of luck!

i'm also new to adult industry, I guest "work hard + time" are the key

Welcome to adult and to GFY! If you're ever looking for adult-friendly hosting, please feel free to reach out. I'd also be happy to review the sites and let you know what can be improved if you'd like, so to reach out directly - my skype and telegram are in the signature.

I cannot believe that this is still going on....

1) The World needs more tubes like a new cancer tumors. BTW: You can buy tubes here for a few dollars.

2) The guy is giving you his know how and maybe wants to protect himself from that once he gets it ready for you, you do not abscond with "his" product ( as you trying to do right now here)

3) Anybody who meets somebody online without verification and goes into a serious business is either not serious or really not that clever ( and I am being polite here).
