Thread: Outsider interested in sectorial contacts, general advice for ongoing project(Hi all)

Hello everyone,

First off, thanks for setting up this Euro Forum for Adult Business, which I found browsing around link after link in the sector. Many like me feel more comfortable discussing business on this side of the Atlantic, more like home.

That said, I guess I am here to ask exchange of favors and some social networking. So, simply put, I am quite an outsider in the adult industry (which anyway interests me greatly, esp. at the meeting point of Glamour & Erotica) while I know very well my way round in terms of design, servers, dhtml, php etc.

I am currently very engaged in keeping an Alexa 150K / Quantcast top 100k multi-server softcore community-portal alive and running - completely made from scratch in spare time and now becoming always larger and more "expensive". Traffic has reached the Alexa top 60k in mid April (peak of authentic visitors). Either I shut it down or monetize it, and I prefer the latter, as the community is mostly ad-based, but is suitable for providing also premium content.

So I am very interested in any form of monetization for a softcore portal with 4000/5000 visitors per day and growing amount of users, and I will be really grateful for anyone who will suggest or spam me with higher level revenue possibilities, excluding surely:

-Spyware /Adware install;
-Pay per Free Action (eg just signup);
-Multilevel Affiliate networks;
-Obscenely low-paying CPM programs.
-Popup or peel ads (no thx).

I am interested in offering real products users can buy
in a very branded form, with limited contact with the upstream
provider/ wholesaler. For instance:

-Private Label Premium Content (movies via mobile etc);
-Private Label Webcam services (eg Pay by Phone).

So I would love to receive hints about which
provider for this kind of show/product is
recommended by some expert kindly availably
to share advice.

For future developments always with the site of
above but not only, I am also extremely
interested in contacts with:

-- European escorts agencies looking for promotion in various forms;

-- wholesale adult traffic providers (I've vast experience already though);

-- Investors, cooperation, contacts in wide sense with experts of the sector.



I can provide the following:

--5 dedicated servers up and running
with over 5000 daily visitors on Web2 Network,
clean, fast, to the point and spam/scam free;

--Given resources, I can put the expertise &
ability to setup in 2 months a Web2 site,
let's say, like adultfriendfinder or Xpeeps, neither
more nor less, under all aspects.

--General ability to handle any software/
hardware problem that dedicated servers meet
(eg, just finished installing eAccelerator
on all servers in spite of 2 versions of
php beng installed by default; installed
freeBsd from the bottom up some months
ago for mySql serving);

--Multimedia, Copywriting & Creative proficiency
(eg, the avatar isn't me but it has been made by me);

--Excellent mastery of web-design, html, javascript,
Ajax, very good skill with php/mysql (if anyone
needs help for anything and can give me some hint
about the above, please feel welcome to try me
free).

--A very good network of pros & talents outside
of the industry (eg, grassroots Internet Models &
webcam performers at the beginnings, found socially
networking around a bit), who look to this sector
with great interest.


Oh btw, I love the German Adult Industry,
if someone has a Xing acccount we can add
each other thee.
