Newbie + Advice
Hey all,
The new member message at the top of the site is telling me to post in the intruductions section, however I can't seem to find an "Introductions" section. Basically I have been thinking of getting into the industry for a few years now but my other half always had issues with it. Well.... she's an ex now so it's not an issue haha. My background is casual gaming. Flash Arcade Websites, Mobile Games and the likes. I kinda see free tube sites the same as arcades sites. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm still not 100% decided on jumping into the industry. Looking for some advice first.
Thanks all. |
So you want us to hand you our hard work on a silver platter? Okay. Sure.

Asking advice is frowned upon in this industry? |
i bought few expired domains and created few websites, reviews, blog, galleries and videos (sponsored content), tube site (embedded players)
the biggest websites started with stolen content until they become "legitimate" and started premium memberships. adult forums share content from premium websites. they subscribe to the biggest networks, then pirate the content. it is hard to promote adult content on social media so you need to be original. For example, only put "hot girls" instead of blurred nudes, play safe, see what big adult companies are doing. the truth is, you don't need to be a game developer or have a custom website to make **some** money, there are people who use wordpress and make money. they re-upload watermarked videos (only the preview) to big tube networks If i was you I would create simple 2d games, the market is big enough and you can promote it on adult and mainstream social networks |
First of all, why do you want to shift from Gaming industry to adult one?
Any specific reason? |

I have been in the games industry for 8 years now. 4 as my own boss. I launched a gardening site a couple years back (I love gardening). That's pretty stable now. So I'm looking for something else I would enjoy to add to the portfolio. I'm not sure if any of you guys know the arcades world well. But it's basically pretty much dead. Most of us have either moved to mobile or left the industry. Browsers started dropping Flash support a few years back. Which was like 99% of the online casual games. Along came Unity WebGL and HTML 5 games. None of which have ever really managed to replace Flash. Quality issues, uncompilable HTML. Incompatibility issues with browers and all sort. Arcades still exist and I still have mine but most are dead or dying with a few exceptions. I miss the web side of it. I miss playing around with my websites, having game exchange with other webmasters, comparing games, stats, ideas and everything that went along with it. That's why I made the comparrision between the two in my opening. I'm hoping I can find a little of that within this industry. |
There are basically 4 options to use videos:
1. Original videos in a paysite, either your own membership site or on a pay-per-view network. 2. Host amateur, professional (and mostly pirated) videos on your tube site. Earn from ads and premium membership 3. Embed video players from other tube sites and earn from clicks on the embedded player. 4. Host sponsored videos. Affiliate receive free material every week, of 1:00-10:00 minutes videos to promote on their websites. Of course you can use a combination of all the above. Hosting the videos is more complicated at the beginning in terms of performance and costs, but it is better in the long run as it gives more control and reduce the bounce rate. Embedded content is similar to hosting flash games. |

They also can't be compiled, so there's very little protection for the author. |
