Are you looking for ways to monetize your adult site?
With two decades of experience in the adult entertainment industry, the Adult Site Broker team has picked up a few tips and tricks along the way. This new blog post shares our insights on monetizing adult sites of all types through proven methods that have delivered a return on investment for those who have initiated this work.
From buying traffic and advertisements to optimizing your search engine results, you’re essentially dealing with a combination of methods that you, as the owner of the adult site, must define for success.
Affiliate Programs
For starters, you can always sign up for an affiliate program or two and run simple and attractive ads that direct your audience to the affiliate site. One thing to keep in mind is that you should invest in domain names and websites that are attractive and align with the product or service you’re advertising.
If you happen to sign up for an affiliate program that deals with adult dating websites, you should choose relevant domain names that let your users know that your ads are for an affiliated dating site.
Use these domains instead of clunky referral domain addresses, combine the relevant simple domains with the affiliate link via 302 redirects, or use visual advertising like banners.
Affiliate programs are plentiful in the adult entertainment industry, and you can find one that works for you very easily. There are programs for content-sharing, much-needed website traffic, and white labeling.
ASB Cash
Adult Site Broker has an affiliate program. It’s called ASB Cash, and our affiliate program awards a 20% payout of our broker commission to those who refer sellers and buyers to Adult Site Broker.
In many ways, like other adult affiliate programs, our members use referral links and predesigned advertising collateral to drive traffic to the Adult Site Broker website. We credit the traffic, including whether an individual from that traffic was referred to us and resulted in a listing or sale.
We also get many referrals through email introductions.
Sponsored Posts on Your Adult Blog
If your adult site has a blog (and it should), you can also make money by selling sponsored posts. This is simple to do. Say your adult site runs an adult-industry blog that keeps up with current events and news.
You could offer tools for adult public relations professionals to share press releases and news pieces about their clients, their exploits, and more, and pay you, as the editor or webmaster, to share their posts or write about those events. Or you can charge producers for reviews of their latest full-length adult films. The opportunities to make money from writing and posting sponsored content are quite extensive.
White Labeling
Integrating your adult site with any white-labeling strategies could provide passive long-term revenue. White labeling is quite common in the mainstream. For those who don’t know, a white-label product or service is produced by one company that others rebrand to make it appear that it’s their own.
For example, white-label software is developed by one developer and sold, branded, and marketed by another as if it were a unique product.
Adult entertainment companies have perfected white-labeling by offering affiliate and revenue-generating programs across the vertical. One example is camming giant Chaturbate.
Chaturbate allows webmasters with high-value traffic in particular camming niches to create a branded clone of the Chaturbate platform under their own branding and advertising.
You’re allowed to select the design elements of the white label site, the type of subject matter you wish to feature, and to use your domain names. You generate funds from traffic and token purchases and share them with Chaturbate.
White Label E-Commerce
Another popular option for white labeling in the adult industry is selling pleasure products and sex toys under an assumed white-label or via affiliate referrals.
Your adult website, regardless of its purpose or functionality, could benefit from selling adult pleasure products to your audience by adopting white-label and drop-ship strategies from companies like Eldorado Trading Company and others.
Ad Networks
We’ll keep this section short because we have an entire blog post dedicated to adult industry-oriented ad networks. Ad networks like Traffic Junky or Traffic Stars allow users to sign up as advertisers and publishers through their self-service platforms to bid on and secure ad placements and site traffic across several ad geos.
Podcasting, Social Media, and SEO
One relatively cost-free way to monetize your adult site and associated brand is to launch a podcast.
Adult Site Broker Talk, for example, is the official podcast for Adult Site Broker. Bruce, the Adult Site Broker CEO, is the host and features top-level professionals across all segments of the adult entertainment industry, including talent and other CEOs.
Bruce has surmised that podcasting is an important communication method to bring in new clients in the long term. You could follow his example by starting your own adult-industry podcast. And, of course, you can utilize traditional, adult content-friendly platforms and other top social media channels, including Snapchat, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram.
You can try improving SEO for your adult site.
