Affiliates and Content Part Two
Sorry for the delay in writing, working websites does take time. Time to build, time to promote, and time to find. Last we talked about finding companies to promote; again this is where Google comes in handy. Make sure you check out if they shave hits, meaning that if you get 100 hits with 2 joins, they tell you that you had 40 hits and no joins. Enter the company into Google and see what you find out. If you are unsure of the company name, go to your favorite website and at the bottom of the page you’ll find a link that say “Webmasters” that will take you to the promoters page.
Now companies like “Reality Kings” also known as “Nasty Dollars” as far as I am concerned give you the most promo content. They also give you a lifetime pass to all their sites after six months of sending sales. “Brazzers” also know as “Juggcash” give you hosted galleries only, meaning you can link to them on their servers. “Imlive” also know as “Pussycash” give you flash webcam promos and pics, but nothing beyond that. But again please feel free to check out everything and all companies yourself.
The galleries and movies that are hosted on the company’s websites are great. It means that you don’t have to worry about bandwidth but if you followed what I said GoDaddy does have unlimited bandwidth. From time to time I’m going to be posting pics that show what it looks like and how it works. If you are still unsure sign up anyway, and look around to see what they offer, what the payout is, when the payout is, and what content they let you use to promote.

Next lesson: Blog, site, or both.
Affiliates and Content Part One
Today is about porn, finding a good company to promote is something of personal tastes. When you are looking to first get into porn find a company to work with that has similar tastes as you. This way you can enjoy what you are doing.
Revenue Share Vs. Pay Per Sign-up
This is one of the hottest topics on the boards and the most asked. As for me if you are promoting webcams, go with the Revenue Share (or Revshare). Think about it, if a customer buys 20.00 worth of time and using it in the first day, they’ll buy more, and more in the next day or few days. I once made 150.00 from one person in one day. If I went for the Pay Per Sign-up (or PPS) I would have made 30.00 only. But more on this later.
As for the monthly pay sites, I feel that PPS is the better option. A lot of sites offer a 2.95 trail period, if you go for a revshare you get a buck if they cancel before the trail is over. If you have a PPS you get the 30.00 – 35.00 (depending on the site) for every join.
But as with anything, do your homework and check everything out. This blog is just into to get you started and help you make some cash.
Below are some links to companies I promote and have had good luck with.
Tomorrow Part Two.
Domain Names and Hosting
OK, this one is easy to say but hard to follow through. Go to GODADDY.com. Right now I own about 100 domains and all from godaddy, plus if you Google godaddy promo codes you can find coupon codes to get the domains cheaper. When choosing a domain, try to find something close to what you are promoting. If you want to promote cam sites do use something like sweatersareus.com. But then again you don’t want to use something that the words can be exchanged out, are for r, or 2 for too or to. Unless you want to buy all the domains that use those.
Now on to private domains, unless you have a business address, P.O. Box, or such get the private option. Yes, its 10 bucks for a year but sometimes godaddy has promos where if you by 5 or more domains they give you the private for free. Now I know what you are thinking, I can just give a fake address, sure you could do that. But lets say that in two months you have a domain name that some company really wants to buy, well once you change the address to your correct address so that the buyer can send the check out, well it take 90 days to change the address. Now I don’t know about you but I’m not waiting 90 days for a check.
Part three, Hosting
There are a lot of great hosting companies and you see there ads all over the place; again godaddy has a 14.99 a month special for unlimited domains, bandwidth, and 1000 e-mail address. Plus you can find promo codes and get it for 11.99 a month. They also use a windows based server to upload files easy, word press, and joomla auto install. When you log into godaddy just click the hosting link and it will be on the right side, third column, and say unlimited hosting.
Tomorrow, affiliates and free content.

Welcome!
Welcome to Porn Grant your on-line source for HONEST info about being an adult webmaster. Everyday I’ll post info about what to do and NOT to do with your adult business. This site is not about banging hot girls or guys, or building an adult agency. It’s about running websites and how to make a living doing it. Now if you think that reading this blog that tomorrow you are going to be a millionaire, please move on. This is for the people who are serious about working and love porn and computers (or at least one of the two).
I have been running adult sites for ten years now and I tried to help friends get into this business only to see them crash and burn because they thought they could take shortcuts, or gave up before the site got moving. I have worked with some of the best and a lot of the worst! I’m here to give you the tools to get a site or sites up and running. Who to do the hosting, get domain names, work with others, and just help.
Why am I doing this, in truth I am seeing a lot of shit on the web in the last year and too many stupid people. The web is made for not only porn, but good porn!! Now you can go and hunt through all the boards and try to see if anyone will help, but a lot of webmasters will give bad advice just to get you out of the business. They feel that the more people in it will kill their profit. OK, at least six billion dollars a year spent on porn. There is enough to go around!
Today being Friday I’m just going to leave you with this.
It’s not as easy as you think.
You do need to be serious about it.
AND you will not be a millionaire tomorrow.
Are you ready????
