Making Money with Adult Websites in 2024
Porn Indsutry
The Porn has always been a very lucrative online business pursuit that yielded high profits in the early days of the internet. To understand how to make money via porn websites, we first need to accept the fact that we will always be playing a game of cat and mouse against the corporations that run the internet. The more you learn, the more you will understand that this fact applies to virtually all industries and technological advancements serve to accelerate an continuously evolving industry. In order for adult webmasters to continue to keep making money, they will have to follow these advancements and updates in detail and then adapt.
The original adult webmasters on BlackHatWorld and GoFuckYourself.com will often share stories of the Good Ol’ Days where porn was bringing in six-figures per month. This is due to the simple fact of supply and demand, porn was scarce. Nowadays, porn is so abundant that Google only indexes a small fraction of what it out there on the internet, making this market hyper competitive.
I started my journey four years ago with zero knowledge about web-development and coding. Within two years, I was making 15k per month for a span of six months, that income has since fallen to 3-4k per month due to DMCA reports, Google penalties, changes to SEO standards and time off. I am now making my return and intend to branch out into other industries such as mainstream web development, Youtube and porn membership sites and programs such as this one.
Evolution of Porn Sites
- Adult Forums and Paid Porn sites. – Early 2000
- Live Sex Cams such as LiveJasmine and Chaturbate – Early 2000
- Porn Giants (pornhub, xvideos, xhamster) – 2007
- Embed tube sites
- TubeAce (WordPress Embed Plugin) – 2009
- AVS and KVS (self-hosted adult video php scripts) – 2009
- WP-Script (WordPress Embed Plugin) – 2016
- Onlyfans – 2016
- AI Generated porn – 2023 onwards
As you can see, porn has evolved so much over the last few decades but all of the above platforms that I have mentioned still exists today along with many others that I didn’t mention such as Reddit, Twitter and even Youtube. The profits are spread thin but are definitely still there for you to get your foot in the door.
Making Money with Adult Websites
If you made it this far, its time to talk about the reason why you are here: How to make money with porn sites. To start, I want to say that it is very difficult to make any significant amounts with porn websites without putting in a lot of work. Webmasters will need to conduct rigorous testing with both Black Hat and White Hat SEO strategies while maintaining quality, content growth and network expansion. The latest Google core update has killed off tons of low quality embed porn sites which means there is more opportunity for us. The goal is to build quality niche websites with content that will receive little to no DMCA reports. My theory is that Google will continue to penalize low quality sites that purely utilizes content scraping, AI content generation and word spinning without actually adding additional value.
How to add value?
-
- Niche – There is too much online content, no one likes to watch all porn. New webmasters typically like to use casted porn such as Brazzers, Faketaxi, Shoplyfter. These niches aren’t good for starters.
- Optimize – There is no theme that is perfectly optimized out of box. You will likely never use all the features of the theme. All themes are built to work in a certain way, as soon as you make slight modifications, your theme becomes bulky.
- Branding – This is one that I struggle with the most. It takes a lot of time to manage a proper branding strategy across numerous platforms. Even when you have decent automation, those automations take time to build and even more time to finetune.
- Features and Qualities – The porn giants have membership systems, favorites, playlists, trailers, sprite images and more.
- Build Networks – This doesn’t just mean to setup social profiles and have them republish posts. You need to build multiple sites within related niches and strategically connect your sites via backlinks. This doesn’t mean build multiple of the same type of site.
Once you decent traffic (5000 users/day), setup advertising campaigns with adult ad networks. Then move on to make a second site within the same niche but branch outwards, for example, if you have a Femdom site, make a hentai Femdom site or an ASMR Femdom site. FYI 5000 users/day equates to about $5/day if you don’t have an aggressive advertising setup. This is how you make money with adult websites.
