A friend of mine wanted to do the same as you and got burned by a couple of flaming pricks along the way so here is good advice.

FUCK 50%.

25% -30% is fair with a couple hundred thrown in to build out the original site. After the original build out, your trusted "partner" is going to work on your site for 30 minutes a week using a CMS program to cookie-cutter your updates.

These boards are full off opportunistic shit heads who will tell you that 50% of revenue is "standard" to be your online partner and allow you to just produce content while they "work their magic" from the online perspective. Avoid them at all costs. Ask to see established sites they have already had up and running and for membership login credentials so you can see inside the members area of their sites. (A lot of these guys hire pro graphic designers to make their tours and front pages on the outside nice and flashy, yet inside the members area will be what they are actually responsible for updating and it can be an abortion in contrast from what you see on the outside with what's on the inside). Discuss with them what you want to see and NEVER accept them telling you that they will only do it one way (their way) if you do not like the way they do it on their established sites. If you are the content producer, you are the artist, so you will always have final say over design, and I am positive you deserve better than some loser who claims to know everything about building sites when really all he/she can do is use a wordpress template and a cheap CMS program to cookie-cutter your members area.

And do NOT, (I will repeat) DO NOT use any prospective partners' payment processing account with your access being limited to a sub account to handle YOUR SITE'S financial dealings. Swallow the expense and pay for your own account with CCBill (or the like) and have control over the account. If you sign up with one of the vultures that lurk these boards and allow that person to own the top account with CCBill, giving you access to only a sub-account, the prick will be assigning (his/her) own affiliate numbers to sales that were not affiliate sales that he/she did not earn, stealing your money.

My best advice, start learning how to do it all yourself. My dear friend almost got out of the business entirely after getting burned by one unscrupulous shit stain, and I would hate to see you get burned as bad as he did.

i 110% agree with this post

Thank yo for the advice- but part of the problem with CCBIll, and well, all billers is because of my country I will never be allowed to get VISA. Ever. :( If I want visa, which most people seem to want I MUST go through someone else in another country.

I agree with what camguy said - be VERY careful here.

And, DO NOT TURN OVER THE BILLING TO SOMEONE ELSE! If you do, you are asking to be ripped off. You need to figure out a way to collect on your own account, even if it means going offshore.

she controls all the content, domain, billing, etc... what would the "partner" control then?
when business starts prospering, they could get squeezed out instantly?

actually, nm, she is looking for a "webmaster", not a partner...

Didn't he get in bed with Media Revenue? :Oh crap

and those are the good things:2 cents:

S I've heard! After the last company I worked with, I'm not surprised. And they where good comparatively :(

Yep Blazing Bucks should be on the top of your list :)

Contacted the, they work with USA girls only

I sent you a twitter message if you want to chat more:)

That is not an issue at all that a little creative business modeling can't cure. Plenty of online sites offer incorporation services in Nevada, USA. (Many reasons why Nevada corps are desirable for a business so do your homework). With a Nevada corp, your CCBill account is registered to an American business entity. CCBill will transfer funds payable to any bank in any country world wide. As the account owner, you make yourself a sub account as someone with interest in the company with a percentage of revenue payments sent to your bank in Australia.

It works out to be convenient as your webmaster will get his/her own sub account as well with the agreed percentage going to them. This insures your webmasters payment and takes the hassle out of getting him/her paid on a revshare model.

Would definitely be interested in talking with you more about this. You can reach me on ICQ at 72458277 or email at johnnyshoehorn at gmail dot com.

Tried sending you an email but it bounced!

Have you looked into some of the alternative billers, namely Verotel? Hit me up my info is in my sig I can set you up with my rep there.

I can also give you a few words of advice (much has already been said here) about getting into bed with someone to partner with. We've had many partnership deals over years and have learned a lot from it, both from the content producer side and affiliate program view.

Good advice really. Everyone will promise you the world.

The website was shut off to members, they must have wiped the emails.
I've decided to do all this myself, after my experience with a good company not being satisfactory, I'd rather do it solo.
Offtopic: do you need models for your glamour smoking site? It's one of my fetishes that I love to shoot

Good to hear you've made the right decision! You mentioned an issue with billing, I think Verotel could help, hit me up I'll give you my contact there he's fantastic and we can discuss some smoking shoots :thumbsup

Drop a line to submit [at] blueblood.net

SpookyCash has, among other sites, Erotic Fandom, so you might be a good fit.

Emailed. I didn't know BB network did solo sites (Apart from Scar who was my teenage lady crush), which is what I'm after. But I'd love to work with erotic fandom anyway! :) Thanks

NN, you are already a camgirl where the big money is. If you want to make some extra money drop me a line at [email protected]. No contract, you control your own content, you can open a paysite down the road if you want to, etc. Contacting you now, not like you don't have 8000 messages I'm sure.

Cheers

Good luck in your search... I think we may be a little too hardcore for you. :-)

Good luck

You seem smart enough to do it yourself, best of luck.

Thanks all, giving it a crack myself. Its a bit scary though! >_>

You're better off doing it yourself. Get a CCBill account set up cascade to Epoch or Zombaio. Some decent hosting and lots of content. Then set yourself up a simple affiliate set up with some banners and tgp pages. It's extremely difficult to get traffic so you will have to post to pic sites and the big tubes (which love exclusive amateur content). You will get sales from tubes, but they want affiliate links. Partnering with someone will pretty much not allow you to set up an effective affiliate program, pie gets smaller. Get yourself some cam and monthly video feeds to beef up your content. Twitter of course and set up a real blog with Wordpress, don't use the free hosted wordpress. And there you go. Let me know when you are ready and I will sign up and push your site.

Thats what I'm looking at doing now. I'm just struggling to work out how to make wordpress work for me so more things are automated. Got billing/membership, layout and tour worked out. I just have to work out the best way to upload sets 60-100 images bit, upload the downloadable vids, have new sets auto create their new page, have the previews from new sets update on main page- I really don't want to do that all manually if I don't have too! :)

DO you use twitter etc? That way I can follow you and when I post it's launch I'll have you on a list for easy contact.

Hey Amelia; getting email bounce backs from that email addy. Used the form on the BBnet site instead :)

Good luck, nice to see someone with their shit together.

.

^ definitely agree!

If I have inadvertently deprived even one shithead vulture from making a buck off of you by sharing the perspective of what a friend has gone through and learned, I sit rather happy today. THE BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!!

Its seems like a tall mountain at first, but it gets easier as you get yourself into a groove.

Forget about word press. Do things right the first time. Get yourself content management system like awiz, that will let you schedule updates, convert videos, add picture of the day stuff. Trust me, if you site grows into something, wordpress isn't going to cut it.

Unfortunately this is not an option. I don't come from a privileged enough background. If I did I'd just drop a few k and have it all done for me! If it ever goes anywhere big I'll transition over. If it's profitable enough for that to be the case it shouldn't be a hassle at all. Had to do it once before.

don't hit me up.

Don't worry, thats unlikely. :p
