Hello
Perhaps this isn't where I'm supposed to be, or perhaps I havent gone through the proper steps to set this up so I am hoping this post will be enough to at least get me pointed to the next step or in the right direction. :help:
My name is Rebecca, I'm 19 and in California. I had a fairly original idea and have opened up a site to support it, and I am looking for a good way to advertise it. I have small commercials on YouTube and am on a few other little adult forums, but yours looks like a proffessional place for help and I was hoping to get in on it too. The idea was to ask for donations to buy implants... I'm looking to go to 36C from 34B and it's a bit out of my range with college and such, so I thought of a way to offer nude photos of myself in exchange for donations. The best part about the site is that I am the only one that runs it and I don't think there's many nude sites out there where you deal directly with, and only with, the model (haha, I called myself a model!). Also, it is totally legit and I'm proud of the integrity of the whole thing. The site is www.BareBecky.com and it's set up so that anyone who sends a donation of any amount receives access to the pictures/videos. I've polished and decorated the site with samples too (go look, whoever reads this hehe). At least stop by and rate it, it's my second attempt at html and even if the idea flops.. I've at least learned a skill haha. It's kinda unique in that you decide what it costs... and I get naked no matter what.. no billing or cancellations since it's not a subscription site . Word-of-mouth and a few youtube commercials get me 500-1000 hits a day, and I know with the right ad space I could get a few thousand more.
Where should I go with this? I dont have any sponsors or banners or anything, I dont think I'd know how to set that up anyway. What I do have is unlimited material and enough motivation to go all out with the idea.. I want boobs by December afterall. Anyone that has a site willing to trade links with me or at least give me some advice? It'd be most appreciated!! Thank you for your time =) :hi:

Since it comes up all the time.. I am who I say I am.. I don't know why it's hard to believe a girl could do this sort of thing all on her own. In a way it makes me proud to be a rare pearl in the adult-site sea haha.

hi, good luck with your project but 2 little things to point out.
1- paypal does not allow adult transactions , you will get your account closed
2- you said you are proud of the industry and have no problem at all but yet on your websites all the pics you have you cover your face.

Hun the dislaimer on the site took care of PayPal, they shut me down in April and told me how to fix it (you didnt see it?).. and the mask is on purpose :) Repeat donors pay far more for clothed pics without the mask than the mob that just want nudity. I'm not hot enough to hold nudity for ransom, but mystery is always sexy hehe.
Besides, It makes me more comfortable when posing.
Back to my real question tho... what should be my next step ?

http://l.b5z.net/i/u/6105957/i//IMG_0143_-_Copy.JPG is far too big to add to any site in my opinion.
Your next step depends on your ambitions. Some girls settle for what they already got (a steady income, might not be huge but it's something) and some girls go all the way (some even go 12 men on one girl) in the other end.
It's not like I'm the guru of porn but I will give it some thoughts and post a little later.

What's wrong with posting them here so everyone can benefit from the ideas?

The advice I would give would be, keep it simple, keep text to readable lengths and make it have impact, and learn to optimise pictures in terms of a little retouching and file sizes. Apart from that experiment and learn what works best for you.

I think you should come over my place so we can have a cup of coffee and discuss photo #4 on the samples page. :D

what the next step is depends on you. a single girl paysite can do very well, but the masks on the tour will attract people into masks, and they're not a huge group. if you're nervous about showing your face, you could try and see what happens using verotel as a credit card processor (although epoch or ccbill would be better)
the advantage of a paysite is it's very automatic, and if you update regularly you can develope a good colllection of recurring billing customers. also you can easilyset up an affiliate program and then other webmasters will send you traffic and sales.
i admit that there are some mistakes most new paysite owners with affiliate programs make, but you could probably avoid them by asking.
and you could still sell pics to your members.

so uhmm...where in CA are you from? :D
(i'm two0timing Bass) :embarrase
seriously though, you're gonna need a LOT more than 1k/day. i'd say next step would be to get traffic and/or start affiliate program with lots of FHG's for st and comus ;)

Konur, can you explain that a bit better? I'm really curious =)

affiliate program means other ppl sell your website for you, and you give them a commision (usually 50%). now, you take 50% MINUS whatever fees you pay your processor, so you actually earn less % than your affiliates (think of them as resellers)
however, if you hhave a good site, lots of ppl would wanna promote you, giving you more exposure than you could get on your own. look at it this way, there could be tgp's getting 50k hits a day with your ads on them. that's a lot more than your 1k/day. multiply that by a whole bunch of ppl promoting you and the money could come in quick
also, your site has to deliver what it promises (and more). this way, you'd have less refunds from disgruntled surfers, and your recurring signups will build.
imo, you could do with more nudity/some hardcore shots, and maybe offer some short (30-60 seconds) video clips. other than that, you go girl ;)
good luck Rebecca, and feel free to post any more questions. start a new thread for new topics, and one of the gurus will get back to you :D

Aha, I get it.. However, I'm not really an adult site and people that 'join' my site have access forever - yeah it never expires. Also, they decide how much they want to spend, literally.
Have you been to my site (http://barebecky.com)? I'm not selling nudity - It's just part of the optional thank-you package. Yeah, it's a bribe for donations, but the project is genuine. What I do have, however, is unlimited material. Would my situation warrant using the reseller idea?

it's like pulling teeth to get surfers to part with $20 or so for a porn site. give them the option of donating what they want, and you'd get something close to zero.
bottom line is, you need money...so the best way is to start your own paysite. after all, you don't have to worry about models/actresses etc.
alternatively, you could put up an epass for a month or two and see what happens. then take it from there.

konur is 100% right. having a paysite to join makes it much easier and people feel more secure about their money. most people don't like to donate for anything - but this way, they get something.

the covered up face thing is distracting.

well, to some - but there are people into masks. for those who aren't afraid of gay sites, check out www.maskurbate.com

I don't know if you plan on reporting your income for this project, but the IRS will consider it real income. Just something to keep in mind. If you are up front about it and keep records then you can also deduct your expenses.

Well that's interesting. Kind of brilliant too. I mean if so many models are afraid of being recognized ...

I just noticed the name ... the play on "mask" and "masturbate". That's pretty clever. What they could use though is like pages of content set up to resemble comic book pages or something. That would look neat.
