Who does non-adult sites as well

[Stever]

I've been neglecting my adult site the past couple weeks while i build a few mainstream projects.

Who here does mainstream as well and want to exchange some ideas or even link exchanges?

chat by pm might be best probably.

[MadMax]

Hit me up Stever, I do mainstream

[Tommy]

what do you guys sell on the main stream sites

[smutranger]

I own a couple mainstream sites.

http://www.vitaminmerchant.com
http://www.blingyourcell.com
http://www.grabmyip.com

Those are just a few. I use them to diversify my online portfolio. Espically when things like 2257 are thrown around.

I'll do trades on all of them.

I have wanted to open a Harley Davidson Resource Site like this one for a couple of years now. After Javes and another project, I will probably do that.

That sounds like a cool idea.
I'll be getting my new road king custom in a few months.

That would be really cool. I found that I was able to leverage a lot of my adult webmastering experience and apply it to mainstream.

I've been working on a main stream business portal but I haven't been able to devote enough time to it so it's kinda on the back burner at the moment.

you have a PM

[Smutferret]

Tommy,

The problem I have with any main stream site I've thought about or tried, is that there always seems to be much more money, for the same amount of effort, in adult.

I've heard you can sell knowledge for a nice profit, maybe you should write a "how to" on starting a link list.

Regards,
SF

[Smutferret]

On second thought, I guess a "how to" on how to start a link list wouldn't really be main stream...

I was thinking about writing a book on how to become an adult webmaster and sell it to surfers

I think a lot of people have thought of that at one time or another.

Thing is that there is a rediculous amount of free information.

So, why pay for something people can get for free?

And if they are newbies they won't really consider you've been around for a while.

[Tommy]

I get a few emails a week asking how one gets in to this buisness


also there are lots of html and internet books
like internet for dunnies and all that info is on the web for free

also dont forget your giving away porn and trying to sell porn


the book would have the advatage of being a real product

To me, that just reaks of thin profit margins and a shrinking market share.

before all you brown nosers jump down my throat, I highly respect tommy for the work he has done and the inovation he has shown. the proceeding comment is strictly objective.

how does that thing do? pretty basic. where do you get traffic? i see you got PR3, who's linking to you, i dont see a links page with recips. and how much traffic do you get?

[murray]

I have a few mainstream automotive sites, maily v6, chevys and boats, if anyone has anything related im happy to swap some links

Personally I think its a good idea - anything to do with making money can be sold - everyone seems to want to know how to get rich. You just have to market it right and promote it well - and your a big player so you should be able to do that.

If you keep it continually updated, take a lot of advice from other webmasters and with your knowledge (which i assume you have a lot of as your quite successful) you could make the adult webmaster e-bible. Oh and don't forget all the hard work too

At any rate i would say it is worth a go.

[Smutferret]

Tommy,

That's not really a bad idea but you might want to markent it to webmasters. I mean, how many adult webmasters on this board would buy your book just because "you" wrote it. I know I would buy a copy...

My problem with mainstream is getting traffic. People are less willing to do link exchanges and the competitiion for good kewords is monstrous. I hang out a bit on a mainstream webmaster board but i find people are much less willing to share ideas, advice or traffic. They subscribe to the competition model of business so sharing would thus help a competitor. I like the level of cooperation in adult. Seems we underdstand the benefits of this on the internet. There is so much traffic out there that it is better to share it. If i cant make the sale i'll pass the surfer to you so you can try, and vice versa.

I've only been building sites for 5 months now so i still have a lot to learn. Getting traffic in adult is almost too easy (not that i have made a big commitment to it yet)

pm's being sent to those that responded so far.

I completely agree - the adult industry is so much more helpful.
Some of what I have learnt in adult I have applied to mainstream - and as adult webmasters seem to be a bit more up on the share factor I have got some good advice from a few of those who do both mainstream and adult.

Good points!

Since we run both mainstream and adult programs, I had to miss Cybernet to attend an 'expo' in Vegas for mainstream... I sooooo would've rather been at Cybernet for the exact reason you mentioned. At the mainstream expo, people seemed to network with more of a "What Can You Do For ME?" or "What Can I Sell to YOU" attitude as opposed to the attitude I find at adult shows which seems to be "How can we make money TOGETHER".

Mainstream marketing seems to be very lonely and disjointed. imho, anyway. lol

My mainstream is web design.....which reminds me, I need to update my site ...
