General help question

[vivalagreg14]

I'm soon to be starting a reality porn site. I'm a little low on start up funds, but i'm overall at an advantage because I've been professionally designing websites for several years now. Anyway, I was curious of the best way to find talent to use. And would it be a good idea to find a pornography ring to request to join, (ex. reality kings or bangbros) if possible.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Step 1: Check the calendar. If it says 1998 then, and only then, proceed to step 2...

The point being, the biz has changed a great deal since 1998. You have to be able to drive traffic to your pay site, and unless you already have an established network of sites to provide a good portion of that traffic you need money to buy traffic, buy ad spots, etc. If you don't already have a source for "talent" I'd suggest doing something else with your design skills.

I appreciate the feedback. I can come up with the money if I have to, that's not a big deal I was just hoping I could do it on my own steam. If need be I will get the money together. About how much money would you suggest it is gonna set me back? I also can generate the traffic via other websites i've become affiliated with. But if i could get a pricing estimate on a worst case and best case scenario that'd be great.

You'll need enough funds initially to shoot all the content that will be on the site when it launches (you can't have an almost empty member area), plus enough content for a minimum of 6 months of updates. You'll then need enough funds to buy traffic and ads to bring in traffic until you're selling enough memberships to be self-supporting. The more you spend per month initially on promotion the shorter that time period should be, provided you've purchased productive traffic and ad promos. There are too many variables for me to make an accurate estimate on how much will be needed for your specific situation, but I think you can see that it will likely be somewhere in the five figure neighborhood.

If you treat it like a business, run it like a business, you have chance of doing well.

Solid advice!

IF you've got design skills, apprentice yourself to someone who is already doing it, learn a little bit, then see if you still want to try it on your own.

It's not easy to start from scratch unless you have a really deep bank roll.

That's actually a really good suggestion. Unfortunately i would have to cold turkey apply since i don't know anyone in that field.

If we cant work out something I can certainly make sure it gets circulated to the right people.
