Adult Webmasters FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I start an online business? Online business isn't for everyone. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, if you enjoy a challenge and you are self-motivated, you can certainly succeed in your online venture. Different people will start online businesses for different reasons. Mothers may want to work from home so they can spend more time with their children. Retirees may want to supplement their income and occupy their time. Other people want to be their own boss, work their own hours, call all the shots and earn to their full potential. The advantages are tremendous!

Why should I bother reading your resources? You would normally expect a learning process of 1 to 3 years to fully understand the online market. Even if you have been successful in other business ventures, online business is a different world and the online market is a different breed. Therefore, your marketing efforts must be different, structured to meet the needs and desires of this new market that has been born online. We significantly decrease the time required for your learning process as we guide you through our tried and proven steps to success in the tutorials. We suggest online resources that are proven and steer you away from the scams. Most people who begin online ventures quit before they have any chance of success, due to frustration. Are you willing to invest a little time giving our strategies a try? It costs nothing! What the hell do you have to lose? More importantly, what the hell do you have to gain!!

What if I don't know computers very well? Our C.E.O. first began this business in 1997, with very little computer knowledge or experience, and didn't even know what a URL was - seriously! We'll guide you through all the steps to learning the business, and learning it well. Obviously, if you have some computer knowledge, this will speed you along to a profitable business, provided you approach it in a business-like, methodical manner. If you have the desire to learn, we provide tutorials and resources that will speed up your learning curve dramatically. You'll be pleasantly surprised how quickly you catch on.

What will I learn that I can't learn on my own? We have learned through a process of trial and error. It is true that these are the best lessons and anyone can eventually learn what they need to know to be successful Netpreneurs. The problem with this approach is that the vast majority of people get frustrated and quit before they ever become successful. We give you the tools to taste the success early in your learning curve and other tools and resources to further develop your skills and thus, improve your earnings.

How much money can I make? How much money you make will depend on how much effort you expend. You tend to get back what you put in. Now, we're not dancing around this question. The answer simply is that your income will vary. If you follow our simple strategies you should be able to make a reasonable income, quite possibly enough to quit your day job, get your dream car and home, take vacations whenever you want and enjoy life to its fullest. One benefit of online business is that once you build a site and promote it, you will have residual profits coming in from that site, theoretically, for life. Of course, you will have to maintain your site and continue promotions, but the money making machine is in place.

How long until I start making money? Again, this will vary depending on how much time you put into your business, how quickly you learn and how effectively you target your promotional efforts. Realistically, you may begin to see profits within the first month or two after you get your first website online. The beauty of this business is that once you get a website online, it is working for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even when you are sleeping. If you stop there, you will make whatever that site earns, but if you keep building more sites, you will be multiplying your earnings.

Is this a get-rich quick scheme? Absolutely not! This certainly isn't the hardest job in the world, but nobody gets a free lunch! You'll have to do your homework (starting with the tutorials). You'll have to experiment with sites and promotions until you find the right mix. If you follow our strategies, you will make money. If you work tirelessly, you can become wealthy. The choice of how much money you will make is largely up to you!

How much time will this take? You can devote as much time as you wish. If you are really motivated, you can follow our strategies and be online making money within a day or two. You can take your time dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's. The choice is yours. We recommend that you devote a minimum of four to eight hours per day developing your business.

Why pornography - Isn't that immoral? Pornography is fun! If you're a prude, you have two choices; 1) get over it! or 2) don't do it. This business isn't for everyone, but consider this - not one person has ever been killed by pornography itself. Can the same be said of alcohol or tobacco or any number of other more socially acceptable interests in the world? Is it immoral? We certainly don't think of the human body or sexual desires as immoral. This is a personal decision you have to make. We direct you to ethical companies that aren't going to rip anyone off. In the business, we offer a legitimate service for a fair price. No one gets ripped off. Anyone looking to rip people off in an effort to make a quick buck, should look somewhere else.

Where do I get pictures for my sites? Most sponsors will provide a combination of excellent marketing materials and photographic content for use on your site. Be sure to read their terms of use. Most will require that you promote their program on all pages where their content appears. Recently, many sponsors have also began hosting ready-made galleries for your use. You just provide a link and they host a gallery with your linking codes. You may also find that you wish to use licensed content from numerous content providers who can be located on our resources page.

How big should my site be? Many of our best producing sites are one page sites, designed to look bigger. Most of these sites aren't even all that special to look at. Adult websites are interesting in this respect. Most regular websites on the Internet want to lure you in and keep you in. In this (affiliate) business, you want to lure the surfer in and then send them off to one of your revenue producing links as soon as possible. You'll learn how to develop sites that appear to be heavy in content, but actually provide multiple revenue producing links to the surfer.

How much does website hosting cost? You can host all your websites for free, but there are a lot of rip-offs out there that are to be avoided. You may decide to test market on the free servers and then move your profitable sites to a paid server. This is truly a business that can be started on a shoestring and expanded with money that is generated as you go along. How many business opportunities can offer that? We do strongly suggest that you make the move to paid hosting as soon as possible. This way you control what is on your site and can avoid disruptions of service.

Is this stuff legal? Most pornography is legal so long as it is not provided to minors. There are certain exceptions such as child pornography and beastiality that must be avoided at all times. Most jurisdictions are not enforcing antiquated obscenity statutes and codes. There is a strong freedom of speech movement helping to maintain our rights. We are a risk averse corporation, meaning we refuse to engage in potentially illegal activities. We build websites that are provocative and generates sales, without violating any obscenity laws.

What is a free site? A free site refers to a site that is built for anyone to click into, without a password. These generally contain some mild content to stimulate the surfer and offer a variety of links for the surfer to click, taking them to a pay site that will pay you for any membership sign-ups that are generated from click-throughs from your site. Ideally you want to keep people coming back to your site, keeping their interest while your page loads and motivating them to click through to your pay programs.

What is an AVS site? AVS means Adult Verification Service. These are services that generally require a fee from a surfer to obtain an AVS password. Once they have the AVS password, they are entitled to access any of the AVS company's member sites. Webmasters make a commission on any AVS signups that are generated from their site. We do not participate in AVS programs at this time.

What is a pay site? A Pay Site is a provider that has invested large sums of money to provide a huge amount of content to its members. These are generally the sites you will work for. They have highly qualified staffs, legal counsel and so forth, so we let them assume any risks. The beauty of working with these pay sites is that they offer trial memberships for $1.99 and up, but they will pay you $25 and up for each trial membership! Why? Because they know that their massive content will generate a certain percentage of the trial members who will renew their memberships at the full price (usually about $39 per month).

What are affiliate programs? Affiliate programs are described above under pay sites. When you sign up to promote a pay site, you are called an affiliate. You are bound by certain terms of service which generally prohibit spamming, use of illegal images, etc. When you are a member of an affiliate program, you are generally offered promotional materials that have been designed by the pros.

Which affiliate programs are best? This depends on what you are promoting. We recommend that you experiment with different programs that are listed on our opportunities page. These are all reputable programs, however, you will need to figure out which programs work best for you, and for your target market. We save you time and maximize your profits by providing information about the most successful and ethical programs on the Internet.

Do you tell me how to make my own pay site? No. Many of you will eventually want to develop your own pay site, however, we strongly recommend that you learn to walk before you try to run. Start with free sites and learn the business. Afterward, you will know how to promote and you will have experience that will guide you as you begin the huge task of developing your pay site. Actually, you may very well decide that you don't need the risk or the headaches when you start seeing your paychecks coming in!

Will you teach me how to spam? Absolutely not! Spam is the unsolicited sending of e-mail or links on the Internet. Spam will cause you to have your accounts terminated and must be avoided. There is a major move presently to identify and punish webmasters who use spam for their promotions. We hope you will choose to build a business designed for long-term success, which precludes the use of spamming.
