Help with promoting Gay sites
As a straight guy I'm a bit unsure of how to do my ad copy.
My best friend is gay (but not queer) and is a bottom. All I know is from what he tells me. He likes 'bears'. I sorta have an understanding of bears, twinks and cubs....but if I'm promoting a site with muscular, bigger guys do I presume my target audience to be 'bottoms'? So, they'd be the ones taking it in the ass and giving the BJ's. If it's a twink site then it's marketed towards 'tops' and they'd be doing the fuckin' and tend to be the more dominant in general. Guess I'll look at ad copy on the paysites to get a feel for it. Er...I dunno if I can look at naked dudes though. Maybe I'll start with shemales and work my way to gay. |

yeah I've been debating to start making some gay freesites myself, it converts well . But since Im not gay and dont have the faintest idea how anyone could find a man attractive Im not sure how I should proceed with it I dont have any gay friends to ask either, I've been wondering if I perhaps should get a deal with a gay webmaster that I make him some straight sites and he make me some gay sites, there's no chance in hell Im staring at nekkid guys all day long thats for sure!

Guess you caught my post on pimprollers?
PR's Gay stuff converts REALLY well. I want some of that cash. I have like zero sense of what good looking guys are though. I bet there are some threads on a gay webmaster's board to help us straight guys out. |

Are you sure you're an accredited and honored pornographer?

Ok Im a gay webmaster and I have been doing gay sites for 5 years. Personally I wish you guys would stay out of it and leave all the money to those of us already doing it but since thats not going to happen I'll answer some of your questions.
First of all you dont push your sites towards tops or bottoms. There are twink tops and twink bottoms. bear tops and bear bottoms. Really makes no difference. There are gay webmaster boards that help with newbies in the gay market and in fact I run one but I dont want to spam my board here. Not to hard to find though |

Stupid risks make life worth living

You have taken a step in the right direction, Alpha Wolf. I can't even count how many times I've heard straight guys say they can't do gay content cuz it turns their stomachs. Do you think female webmasters like to do cumshots content? Do guys really think women want them to cum on their faces?
Anyway I'm getting off topic. The point is, just because you're building gay sites, it doesn't make you gay. One thing it will make you though: rich. It's a huge niche that many guys won't touch for dumbass reasons.

Note the use of the term 'market'! Gay isn't a niche but a full range market with extensive niches of its own. Take time to cruise through some of the sites in our Liting of Gay Directories/Search Engines and you'll get a general overview of what the market is all ab out. You'll also find some good impressions by reviewing paysites that are gay owned and operated (ie: ones that know what they are selling and who they are selling). In our Direcory of Gay Sponsor/Income Sites these sites stand out -- with a big green G.

I too have considered making an attempt at the Gay market, but have not due to my ignorance in that arena. I've considered asking my gay neighbors for advice, but they would probably laugh me out of the room and call me bad names. These guys are not the stereotypical gays you see on sitcoms. You'd never ever know that they're gay.
As far as dealing with gay content, I don't see that as a problem, other than that it would probably make me want to go on a diet and get back in shape. I hate seeing attractive bodies when I feel dumpy.

First... >>> hits shelmal with cold water to chill him down.
I know the correspondence hit a nerve. Next, Gay is surely a devoted realm. Don't try to market it unless you understand it. |

Stop encouraging everyone into promoting gay.
Let's keep it all for ourselves. |

It's silly for gay webmasters to be annoyed if straight webmasters tap into the gay niche. Straight webmasters don't get all catty and petty when gays promote the straight niche.
I promote a lot of fetishes......my biggest being foot fetish. I am not a foot fetishist - in fact feet gross me out! However I make really good money with it because I took the time to understand exactly what appeals to them about it. Same thing with a straight webmaster doing gay.....and it's silly for gays to be peeved by that.

Ok I knew I shouldnt have made that last post. Ok I didnt say I dont like straights to do gay sites. I said I hate it when straight guys who dont respect gay men do gay sites and make money of of people they find disgusting or gross. There is a difference. Of course straight guys wont be turned on by gay men but you dont have to make all kinds of comments about how gross it is to look at a naked man. Thats all Im saying and again im sure ill get slammed for that .

I've had a gay link list for years and asked you if it was worth bothering before I started it actually. (he said yes btw) Have to say I am still unsure if I get the wording right often... and webmasters in general are hopeless at writing descriptions that don't sound like they are describing some other species.. rather than something they actually think is attractive or worth buying I think you might assume too much of the average str8 webmaster, in terms of having a real understanding of what attracts gay men to men. I'm surprised more female webmasters dont seem to submit gay sites, I think they would do better on average than straight male webmasters. |

For the most part, you can change the gender specifics and get some good text, this is always the best method that i recommend to those webmasters wanting to start out in the gay market so far as promotional text goes. Another really good method to get some decent gay ad copy is to take a look at some of the larger gay programs sites as well as see what other webmasters are using on link lists such as http://www.gaylinxxx.com or on tgps such as http://www.cumsoda.com that will at least give you an idea on which to base your own marketing on.

Good thread and info here.
Just to be clear, when I mentioned I'd start with shemales and work my way to gay I meant as far as looking at dick - it may be easier to start with shemale content. That's all. Don't freak out. I know shemale sites generally target str8t guys. Will digest this all when I get back home. |
