Making money with a porn blog

[GuestUser112]

If you want to get your foot in the door, why don't you become a professional stripper or one of those guys that spank themselves and play with their wieners on camera for money? Industry experience is very important in every business. Professional strippers can make a lot of money - money that could fund your future porn empire.

If you don't want to do that, you might like to check out a thread I posted: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/ethics-good-business-vs-bad-business.56527/

Haha! I saw that somebody had posted while I was writing my response but I didn't think you'd be doing the same thing! Today is a good day.

A porn blog doesn't, as far as I can tell. What are you bringing to the table aside from free porn videos?

It seems you and I are the only 2 people who think the basic concept is flawed. I can't remember the last time I needed someone to review free porn videos for me. You can tell by the name of the video if it's something you'd like or not. This is stupid.

Lol @ this thread.

A porn blog is neat and all, and if you really think it will be successful, then by all means go for it (we're not going to stop you unless you want to adhere our advice, and MJ's golden rules). However, If someone is looking to get off, I doubt they are going to follow or check up on a blog rather than type in exactly the type of porn they want with Google, or visit Reddit (which has subreddits for practically any type of porn you can think of with comments and ratings).

Even if you did cover very specific fetishes; consider the amount of traffic and various fetishes that all of those people have. It would be playing a game of roulette where you are able to hit the 'needs' mark 1 out of 300 tries.

Now, if you created a separate category on your blog for each peculiar fetish, and are able to simultaneously create new entries for each one every week (at minimum), you might get somewhere. (which would be extremely hard to do without staff, and with staff would be very expensive to not even think about a reasonable profit.)

If this was 1999 I might back this a bit... but it's 2014, and no matter which way it's sliced, I do not see this being very beneficial to anyone or yourself.

I'm pretty sure that he just wants somebody to pay him for watching porn. It is possible that you could find employment for this - porn companies could measure how long it takes you to 'get off' to a certain scene...but I doubt it, and you probably can't build a business out of it. UNLESS...hmmm..

What if you built a business around paying average porn users to rate videos - like those companies that pay people to complete surveys. Then you could sell the information to porn marketers. Maybe. I don't know. I had to bend my mind a bit for this one. I have ethical issues with it because I think it would come down to 'what visual imagery evokes the most dopamine in the viewers mind?' translating to: 'what videos are the most addicting?'.

As far as a blog goes, there MIGHT be a market for a blog about porn stars themselves. Like Perez Hilton for porn celebrities. Blogging about the latest scenes with Alexis Texas...but it's unlikely to make much money. Unless you hired paparazzi and practically stalked them like People magazine.

Sorry man I actually gave it a shot for ya. You should just take the advice of everybody here.

@Samy Bazizi it isn't about creating a business that YOU want to create, it's about creating a business that OTHERS want you to create. The internet does not need more porn. Also, since you have already "lost so much time looking at porn" and desensitized yourself to what making love is really about, I think writing this blog would only take you further away from the life you want to create.

Have you considered the opposite? Maybe there is something that you can do to help others with their addiction to pornography?

Have you spent time figuring out what's really important to you? You gotta do the work man. It's not easy, but it is worthwhile. Don't focus on what you've done in the past, but rather what you could do in the future if you get your head and heart in a better place.

 

[Samy Bazizi]

I really don't understand how you could think this is unethical. It is not scamming people nor harming them. You are just providing content and recommanding videos. Some of you guys are a bit too prude if you think anything related to porn is bad.

I don't see porn as a bad thing. Excessive porn, yes. But I have a girlfriend and have absolutely no problem in my sex life. Thank you for worrying though.

Have fun at thanksgiving telling your family you own a porn blog. I personally don't want to be in a business that I'm embarrassed of.

I don't want to review porn videos. I will just post videos from a certain niche. Look at wimp.com. They don't review videos, they just post them. Isn't it the same ?

It's like I tell my friends that use dating websites, smoke weed, etc. (only as examples): if you have to hide it, you shouldn't be doing it.

Good for you. It does not make it more unethical.

How is that any different than going on one of the other million porn websites, choosing a category, and having hundreds of videos to choose from? Not that I would know much about that process

So you are telling me using dating websites is a bad thing because you are too embarassed to talk about it?

How is that any different than going on one of the other million porn websites, choosing a category, and having hundreds of videos to choose from? Not that I would know much about that process

It IS different. Most porn sites videos are uploaded by anybody and that means it is not quality content. If I do a blog, i can control what is posted and provide the users with quality content that are specific to this niche.

 

[Charnell]

I'm saying it's a bad thing IF you are too embarrassed to talk about it.

 

[GuestUser112]

High value things:
- healthy food
- intelligent conversation (reading Mark Twain, perhaps)
- high quality music (anything performed by Liberaci, for example)
- deep and meaningful sexual connection with another person whom you love for qualities that transcend physical aesthetics

Low value things:
- Mcdonalds
- Jersey Shore
- Lil Wayne
- Porn

Just because you refuse to accept it doesn't mean it isn't true. You're encountering a lot of resistance here because the people here have higher standards than most people you probably associate with. No offence.

Not an expert here, but I think copyright and contractual matters in the porn industry is a real nightmare due to international and state regulations. The porn repositories are like youtube, they basically pass the legal ball to the uploader and claim that they stop videos for copyright reasons if requested. If you want to filter the content, and do it legally, you will have to discuss matters with the distribution houses and/or producers. Also, the porn industry is losing millions due to porn repository websites, therefore they are very reluctant to delegate someone else. Most famous porn actresses and producers make the big money with private videos, not with distributed videos which are used just as a window.

Yet, I started this post with "Not an expert here"....

OP : I strongly suggest for you to go read what Victor Pride says about porn. he's spot on, and that is why most people here don't see it as a value:

I don't see porn as a bad thing.

You'll understand one day, I hope so anyway.

I'm not going to explain why I view porn a 'bad thing', as I know you aren't listening.

But I will leave this article here for those real men who are interested in considering this issue further.

And just because you think something is bad, doesnt mean it is. Some people like lil wayne. Some people like jersey shore (I do). And some people like porn. I think it's a personal opinion. As long as some people like it then it has value.

Some strong broscience right there.

 

[Esquire]

Can you make money with a porn blog ...?

Absolutely.

I am certain of it.

But not the way you are talking about it.


There is only one way -- and one way only -- to make (real) money with a blog.

And it is NOT selling advertising.

Go that route ... and you will be flat broke ... guaranteed.

The way you make money with a blog ... is by using the blog ... to sell YOUR OWN PRODUCT.


So (for example) ... if I own Kink.com ... a paid membership site ... and I start a fetish blog (WhipMySorryAss.com) ... the REASON I am doing that ... is to promote paid subscriptions on KINK.com

Not to make money from WhipMySorryAss.com

I use the margins on WhipMySorryAss.com .... to run ads for Kink.com ... and I promote Kink.com in the content.

THAT is how I make my money. When people on the blog ... see and buy MY PRODUCT ... on Kink.com

Not to sell ads to Google for peanuts on the dollar.

To sell YOUR OWN product where YOU are the OWNER and YOU reap all the profits.


The blog is just a MARKETING TOOL for SOMETHING ELSE.

The REAL product. And not just any product -- YOUR product.


So the REAL question is ... do you have something compelling to SELL to that target audience ...?

If not ... don't waste your time.


The BLOG is NOT the product.


So my advice would be ... forget about putting together an "adult entertainment" blog and focus on putting together a solid business.

And then ... when you have a business to market ... THEN you can start thinking about whether a blog makes sense ... and WHAT the blog is about.

I couldn't disagree with you more

@Samy Bazizi, as you may have guessed this isn't the forum for pornography. I'm certain you will not change people's minds here. Go and find another place to hang out if this is the type of business you want to build.

I also urge you to do some real research on the problems associated with the porn industry and the pain that it causes billions of people on a regular basis before you try and argue that porn is not a bad thing.

[Edited to remove some things I had written as they were not adding value to the conversation and in hindsight may be viewed as 'disruptive' or even 'trolling', which is against the spirit of this forum. I don't want to be THAT guy, I just have very strong opinions on this topic.]

 

[Writer]

porn creates job

especially for 99% of those girls that will surely get a great job after they end their porn careers.
Dude, entire families get destroyed because of porn. Grow up.

... as you may have guessed this isn't the forum for pornography. I'm certain you will not change people's minds here. Go and find another place to hang out if this is the type of business you want to build.

I disagree. This is a forum about business. Not just Rated-G business. But ANY business. G PG XXX ... You name it. There are plenty of people here who are marketing products and services in and to the adult entertainment industry.

I'm one of them.

It's a huge industry. There's plenty of money to be made.

I clearly don't think he is on the right track as far as creating a porn blog for a porn blog's sake goes.

But if there is a legitimate business end to it ... it's a fair topic.

We are all entitled to our opinions @Esquire and I guess I've spoken out of turn by saying that this isn't the forum for pornography, although that was my understanding. Please excuse me, I'm new here.

No worries, Mr. B. No one is taking any of this personally (not me, at least). We are all entitled to our opinions. Glad to see ya posting.
