Make money with an Adult Blog, the easier way
Original Post from: http://www.ideasbeta.com
Please don’t read that post if you’re not major in the country you are living.
Which means if you’re not at least 18 or 21 years old, according to your country, you should go there.
If you are major, you can read “More”.
If you watch porn regularly, this project is not for you, and I don’t advise you even try it.
Because for this project you will be required to visit several porn websites, get pictures and videos, and you might end up being “distracted” instead of working if you’re already a porn appreciator.
So what is this project? Again, like every project I do, it is a money-generating machine, that you will have to set-up once, and then spend a minimum amount of time to keep it bringing money.
The idea is to setup a blog that will be filled with adults affiliate programs, and then create high quality traffic so your affiliate programs will have a good conversion ratio.
By high-quality traffic, I mean organic traffic from search engines, which is highly targeted. On a next post I might talk about the black way, which is based on more traffic and more blogs, but of course of lower quality. Just know that my first experiment with black-hat didn’t give as good results as with the following one. For some reason (!), people get more offended if you spam them with links to porn than if you do the same for some insurance or cheap medicine. ![]()
The gray-hat I am going to describe requires a bit more effort on the begin, but has the advantage of requiring less work on the long run, because once you will have setup your website, it will stick much longer.
So let’s start:
1st step : Choose your affiliate
——————————–
You’re going to make one blog about a specific niche. Don’t try to fill a blog with many varieties : lesbian, porn stars, amateur… Choose only ONE program to start. You can select two or three girls/boys in that program, to mix a little bit, but not more. Let’s take it easy. You can (and will) setup other blogs, one for each niche, and eventually you can make some good money if you start to have a network of 30-40 blogs. A friend started last year to make 1 blog per week. He put a lot of effort because he didn’t know/think of the shortcuts I describe in this post (be sure he uses them now), anyway he has currently around 60 blogs, and he’s making a solid $5K a month.
I have a list of good programs, this is part of the resources I will provide you if you want to do this project. It is described at the end of this post.
Open a text editor and note, for every program you subscribe:
- login/password
- URL on the program’s website to see your stats/earnings
- URL of their promotional content :
- if there is a RSS feed, use it in PRIORITY * if there are some hosted galleries, note the URLs of the galleries you like to promote.
- if you can generate yourself some promotional pages, do it as you like, and note the URLs
- If you have only files to download, then put them somewhere on your website, and note the URL of the page you have created - your affiliate link
In any case, you don’t need to spend TOO MUCH time on it, there is usually so much content that you want to grab something you think it will sell well (so preferably some nice looking girls/boys). My advice : do a quick scan, and note the 3/4 girls/boys that catch your attention. Then get some URLs for each of these girls/boys.
You want to have at the end something around 150 pics/videos, so it could be 10 galleries of 15 pictures for instance. If you like, get it more, but you don’t need to spend too much time on it, and getting 300 pics is already a lot.
If you don’t have RSS, no worries, you will get your HTML URLs converted to RSS with a tool I have written especially to do that (also in the resources at the end of the post).
2nd step : Create your blog
—————————
I expect that you already have some hosting, and know how to install a blog. If not, don’t go further, and do your homework. Spending a few dollars to get some basic hosting and a domain name is the essential first step to make money online.
I recommend that you install a wordpress blog, because it is very efficient, search engines love them, and you will use a wordpress plugin that is essential to automatize everything. Do not try to get it indexed yet, and do not put google ads.
Find a nice template, if you don’t know where to start, do a google search on “free adult theme wordpress”. You can personalize the template by changing the top picture and putting a picture you got in the free content from your affiliate program. You could even do that with the default Wordpress template, and change a few colours in the CSS file.
Add in your blog some stats tracker script (urchin, statcounter, etc.), I will never repeat it enough: tracking is ESSENTIAL for any project, because you want to know what it working, and what is not. And when you do something which is working, just do it more!!!
Among the usual settings of your wordpress install, I always use the following:
- Of course, clean the default install shit : remove default posts, comments, blogroll and categories.
- In the Options -> Discussion, you don’t want to let anyone posting comments or trackbacks, because you don’t want to have to look after the blog if some spammers are starting to comment-spam and put links to other websites ;).
- In Options -> Writing, instead of pingomatic, I like to use blogflux, as it pings more places : http://pinger.blogflux.com/rpc/
- Options -> Permalinks, this one is also important for search engines, I always use the Custom structure with : /%postname%. This will give the post title in the URL (more keywords stuffed there)
- Final install: THE MOST IMPORTANT : The plugin wp-o-matic. See in the resources/Download my EXTENDED version there. This great plugin will post articles automatically in wordpress from RSS feeds you choose; so you don’t have to take care of writing on your blog.
Install wp-o-matic : use my EXTENDED version as I put there the special sauce to be able to REWRITE the feeds contents to something that will not be penalized as duplicate. If not, you can use the normal version, but you might get some posts going dupe.
Go in wordpress, Plugins section and ACTIVATE the plugin, but don’t set any option yet, we’ll do that later. Be careful, there will be a message to test if SimplePie works with your server: test it and if it doesn’t work, FIX IT! And if you don’t know how to fix it, CHANGE OF HOSTING! Simplepie should be able to run by default on any decent server.
Please note, I have no connection at all with the guy who did the plugin, but I can tell you this plugin is really great and I ask you to give a donation to the guy who wrote it, even a few $, because this kind of stuff is as powerful as what other people sell for hundreds of $$$, yes HUNDREDS. And this guy give it for FREE so please encourage him! If not now, the day you make your first $100, go give him something.
There’s a donation button on his page: http://devthought.com/wp-o-matic-the-wordpress-rss-agreggator/
3rd step: Add your own sauce
—————————-
This is where you will make the difference to make your blog successful. Do not worry though, you might not be perfect the first time, actually you shouldn’t care too much, just do it, then do another blog, and after a few blogs you’ll start getting better. As I said before, you should develop a network of at least 20 blogs if you want to make serious money. But at least try to make 5-10 blogs. Don’t stop on the first one, it might fail, and probably it will, but on your fifth blog you will get much better. Allow yourself a few hours to make one blog, then one or two weeks later, make a second one. You should be able to make 10 blogs in 3-4 months, and then start to make some decent dollars!!!
So what is our plan again? Having a blog on autopilot, which will make money through adult affiliate programs, and which will get natural traffic (no blackhat) so your conversion ratio will not be crappy. One part of the traffic will come from search-engines, and for that you want to have good quality content.
As we have 150 pictures/videos from the affiliate program ready to post, we can make a quick calculation there:
It would be nice to have the blog run on autopilot for at least 9 months. People are talking about the sandbox effect, and no one knows the real truth, but from my personal experience, I have seen that after 6 months, my traffic on any website (which is not banned from google) increases noticeably. So, yes you can get indexed in google in less than 48h, you can get good traffic immediately, but I don’t believe you will get the taste of the real effectiveness of your website before 6 months. So I like the 9 months period because it allows you to track your stats on 6 months, then see the changes, and play during 3 months, and get a good and simple analysis: does it work? If not, is there something you can do to improve it? If it still doesn’t work, is it time to dump it?
So let’s assume that we do one post of 4 pics a week. We have enough pics for 36 weeks (9 months).
We would like to have more than one post a week, so let’s say we add 1-2 additional post every week, we need then to prepare 50 posts.
Too much? Yes if you do the normal way, no if you do like I did: You can setup everything in a couple of hours, let’s just break things down.
- Let’s post some erotic stories : it’s easy to find 15 stories on erotic stories archives, that we can reuse.
- Let’s put some nice videos : youtube is full of videos, easy to find some with hot girls, even if it is not porn, who cares as long as it is erotic. Say 20 videos
- Hand-types content, full of keywords, so it helps you with the search engines. let’s say 15, you don’t want to type too much here, so you will use some templates, do some keyword research and fill the blanks.
Time to work!
1) do a google search on “erotic stories archive”, or look in Google groups in one of the groups belonging to “alt.sex.stories”, you will find plenty of material. Just remember, copy only the text in a file, and do not forget to put the reference to the author at the end of the story. You should have 15 text files (15 stories). Eventually we want to cut every story in 3 pieces because they are quite long and we can make easily 3 post out of each story. But the automated posting script will do that for you.
2) go to youtube, and search for some generic terms like “hot girl” “strip-tease” “handsome” “tits” “boobs”. Select videos that are more than a few months old. When you find a nice video, copy the Embed code and paste it in a new text file. Look at related videos, it might be a bit difficult to find a good video at first, but once you found one, you can usually find more good videos in the “related” box. And of course you can choose some other sites than youtube…
You should have at the end something like 20 embed codes in a text file.
3) do the usual keyword research around some terms related to the affiliate program. if you don’t want to do it by hand, I have written a nice script that gets me a few hundreds optimized keywords related to one keyword I enter. It uses the using similar techniques than many other keywords programs but I did it because that’s a fast and easy way to get a good list of keywords. See the resources section at the end.
In any case, you should limit your search to more or less 300 keywords.
Then you’re going to create 15 text files, each one with some original content.
You will use 15 templates. Every template will help you to quickly write a unique post, with a good keyword density in it.
You take your template, you just insert some of the keywords you found, then finalize the content so you can have one unique post. Of course for each text you want to use a different template.
I give you one example of a template you can write (see resources section). The idea is to write yourself 15 different templates, so you can reuse them for each blog you make.
Maybe you don’t want to write 15 templates for your first blog, as it is quite long, so write 5 templates for your first blog, and generate 15 posts out of them.
Tired already?
At this point, you should have:
- 15 text files with stories
- 1 text file with 20 videos embedded code
- 15 text files with unique content.
You’ve finished with the biggest part of the blog setup.
This is now that you’ll setup wp-o-matic, and put the RSS feeds from your contents. If your RSS is setup properly, wp-o-matic will create posts automatically for you, and your blog will grow daily, like if it was written by a human.
The structure of your blog posts is very simple, every week you have 6 posts:
- Monday: 1/3 of a story
- Tuesday: 1 video with affiliate link
- Wednesday: 1/3 of a story
- Thursday: 1 post with affiliate program gallery + affiliate link
- Friday: 1/3 of a story
- Saturday: 1 text of unique content with affiliate link
Of course you can experiment and use your own pattern.
But you might say: Hey, if I have to setup a blog with posts for 9 months, that’s a lot of posts to create, even if I just do some copy/paste. (Yes that’s more than 200 posts to create). And indeed I don’t advise you to do it manually. That’s where I have coded some scripts to do the stuff.
My scripts takes the whole set of contents, slightly rewrites it so it doesn’t go duplicate, yet still looks totally natural. Then it create a RSS feed out of it. You guess the following. With the RSS auto poster plugin wp-o-matic, you just need to set it up once so it posts automatically from the RSS feed. Then you don’t have to touch your blog in the next 9 months… Every day, a new post will appear on your blog, and ping services will be notified… Voila, is on autopilot!
4th step: Grow your blog traffic. The 5 minutes a day workout
———————————————————
You’re not done yet. You want to get natural targeted traffic, and you don’t want to try to game search engines, because you’re already gaming them by creating a blog that looks legit and that is not. It’s like with sport, if you spend 5 minutes everyday, you’ll end up being fit and lean. Or you can do intensive workouts before the summer, then grow fat again after only two months. The same with search engines, you can drop 1000 blackhat links but it’s not gonna be a long term solution. So I would advise you to get links in a “natural” manner. Never get more than 10-30 links a day. And NEVER the same amount the next day!
To get you started, I give you a friendly adult blog directory :
http://adultblogresource.com/adult-blog-directories/
But of course I encourage you to start getting links whatever way you can, as long as they are RELEVANT and looks NON-SPAMMY.
If you do a google search on the term “viagra”, you will see that among the highest results, some pages have not many backlinks. Usually they have backlinks from high authority websites, or even better, they are on high authority websites. That’s simple, if you manage to get 100 high quality backlinks within 6 months (that’s getting only 1 link every 2 days), you will already climb up in TOP10 for long tail keywords. That’s why having erotic stories and unique content full of specific terms is good to get targeted traffic. You don’t want to try to fight against high competition keywords.
Do a google search on “adult directory”, spend a few hours selecting a hundred of places where you can submit your directory, and keep that list to reuse for each of your blogs. That sounds pretty basic, yet it is simple and efficient, and if you spend 5 minutes a day submitting your blog to those directories, you’ll create a very good backlink value. Everybody is searching how to have their website on Google Top 10 by some magical script, but believe me, creating such magical script requires more work than simply submitting your blog to directories the old fashioned way.
You could want to create a whole machinery to make any of your websites rank high with just one click, but the time you would spend to make it is valuable if you intend to create hundreds of websites. In this project we want to limit our network to human figures. We just want to take a few shortcut so we have less effort, but at the end, the goal is to create some blogs that will stick.
So, getting high quality backlinks is really important, still it doesn’t stop you to get more backlinks the black way, as long as you don’t abuse it.
I wouldn’t advise to go totally blackhat like spamming links everywhere you can. Instead, you can throw your links in a few places which seem legit, but can be automatized, or at least done quickly by hand.
Here are a few ideas to explore:
- comment spam nicely social networks (not myspace but the others)
- participate to adult forums (a few posts with your link in your signature don’t hurt, and you might actually find interesting information in those places)
- abandoned sites
- submit your RSS feed, e.g. : http://www.rss-network.com/submitrss.php
- add a comment to any DoFollow blog, the URL of your website being a friendly page of your blog and not one full of nasty pics, you just want a link!
- spam a non watched open wiki
- XSS (still works if done right)
- images search engines traffic abusing
In any case, as you don’t want your blog to get banned so the only rule is to drop your link IN A PLACE and IN A WAY that are sure NOT TO ANNOY PEOPLE. And again, don’t go for too much volume at once. Better spread it over months, and see your traffic rise.
My advice is to do it manually for your first blogs. It will ask half an hour every day, and you should note every place you submit. Write your own list somewhere, in an excel sheet or a text file, with URLs, comments, experiments, refine it, make it easy to be used by a 5 years-old so you can outsource it later. You don’t want to waste time on dropping links, so the day you start to make money out of your first blogs, you can invest part of the money into tedious tasks of creating other blogs. I always have a rule: My goal is not to find a way to make $10 from my work. My goal is to work to find a way to make $10 by paying someone else to do it. It sounds nice to think you make $1000 a day by doing everything yourself, but to me it sounds nicer to find a way to make $1000, that I can delegate to other people I pay, even if it means that I would lose $500 in the process, because then I can make 2, 3, 5, 10 more people work and make more money with even less effort.
The final word: How to REALLY make it
————————————-
I know you’re going to read this post and think “That’s a nice idea”, and you are not going to try it. And then you’ll go back dreaming of money you would like to make from the Internet, quitting your job, buying a nice car, etc.
But hey, everything is explained here, you just have to spend a few hours every week for the next months. Would you like to get an additional $100 a month to spend guilt-free? And what about an additional $500? And what about $1000? With this project you could end up getting even much more on the long run, but at least start it and get involved for the next 6 months, then you’ll see the results.
