Best way to monotize a tumblr with 30k followers?
 

So here's what I have regarding my Tumblr followers:

girlfriends - 32k
mature - 30k
hardcore - 5k
fetish - 2,500
shemale - 7,600

Last night (Monday night around 2am) I put analytics in it and checked the top two. In around 20-21 hours on the mature blog I got:
Visits 2,007
Unique Visitors 1,869
Pageviews 9,181
Avg. Visit Duration 00:03:18

The girlfriends blog was almost identical as well.


I currently have niche specific banner ads on them at the top and bottom and average about 150-200 uniques a day. My wife and I lost our jobs and we'd like to know if there's a way to make this actually payoff a little. What are my best options here? Thanks in advance.

Bump for you!

Why not create a bunch of actual niche specific sites, and forward the traffic? 30k hits on a site with a popunder would bring in a little cash.

Ya, I have a domain but I can't afford hosting right now. I made a hostedtube and I'm forwarding there. I'm expanding my tumblrs also. Pretty easy to get followers on new ones if I tell my 60k+ about it. I got over 300 followers in less then a day. I got around 300 uniques to the tube over night so this is looking like the best bet. Thanks for the comment and also the previous bump.

nice :thumbsup

Bump. You should be able to make some cash off of that traffic. (and I hope you do!)

I see your Pimproll ref....you are using some free hosted tubes I hope....no hosting costs and decent sites.

Yep, had a domain getting stagnate so I started with pimproll on Tuesday. Here's a question. Can I use images from pimprolls promo center, free content etc in tumblr and link to hostedtube videos or my hostedtube site?

sell it
way of make money from this blogs :)

I think you can use those promo videos/content anywhere. I use embeded videos from pimprolls promo center in one of my blogs. I don't think you can embed the content from your hosted tube site though. Best to ask them, their support is great and they might be able to give you some advice. They went over my tubes for me and gave me some nice advice....for example; get rid of the useless sidebar altogether if you already havent, and move your ad revenue slider to 100% TF.

I would link to your pimproll hosted tube site from all your blogs, with that kind of traffic, it should make you some quick money. They payout every 2 weeks.

BTW, I just started with 6 tumblr blogs, trying to drive traffic to my hosted tubes....how in the hell did you get that many followers? Mind telling me what you did? :thumbsup

Hang in there bro, you got solid traffic, that's the hardest part, monetizing it is easier.:thumbsup Best of luck!

I will buy the blogs off of you. Send me an email with url and price. [email protected]

Thanks for the tips you put. I needed those big time. Since I started this post, my 2 main blogs got around 1,000 more followers. The one I started on wednesday has around 500, I'm helping that one out by sending my current followers to it though.

I originally started the blogs as a hobby really. I had just come off of running a solo girl site single handedly so I needed an easy relaxing break from all that. I post what I like, not what I think they'll like. Tons of reblogging too. I also post/reblogg daily, multiple times a day. These folks follow other blogs, posts can get lost in everyone else's feeds and I want mine to be the first they see when they log in.

Your post got me thinking. If I was to sell this network, what are the going rates for these? After some research, I've found it varies. Anyone have any ideas?

Here's the new numbers on them
girlfriends - 33,500
mature - 31,100
hardcore - 5k (no change)
fetish - 2,500 (no change)
shemale - 7,700

If you have the time, could you give me some more tips? Are you tagging each one of your posts? If so with what, #? Do you follow a bunch of people to get followers?

Would you be kind enough to send me a link to your blogs so I can see what you're doing? I'll even follow you!:1orglaugh napalmanger<<at>>yahoo.com

All the "porn" blogs I see are just full of porn gifs and some pics. I'm posting descriptive text links to my movies on my hosted tubes hoping to drive traffic there I got 3 fucking followers to date, no matter what I do, I can't seem to get pimprolls promo FLV's to embed on my posts. I would love to get some movies embeded.

in 99 and the early 2000's I used to run a marijuana niche site with 60K uniq a day (almost 100% organic too)....I never appreciated those hits until now...LOL But back then didn't have PR and backlink BS and need fucking blogs to drive traffic, so I'm kinda noob at the blogs and the new harder way of doing shit via Google - you seem to be a damned blog expert.:thumbsup

I sent you an email TheMonger

Thanks Man!

FYI, Been using this free adult site and adult tumblr blog directory....no recip link required...gotten a few hits off it:

You can't embed hosted tube videos anywhere yet (hopefully we will be able too when the new update comes along) but the way I send tumblr traffic to my ht is by making gifs out of the preview thumbnails and link them to the video.

You can also try selling tumblr blog post like another gfy is doing here: http://m.gfy.com/sell-and-buy-forum/1133686-selling-blog-posts-tumblr-blog-network-post19987361.html

That has actually crossed my mind, but seems too labor intensive. What proggy U using to make the gifs? Maybe I'll give it a shot, thanks for the tip.

I've been taking a screen grab of my HT sites, writing a description and posting...trying to give them at least something visual to click on and add to the legitimacy of my links.

I use a chrome tumblr toolbar extension to make easy tumblr posts from my videos: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...aallaglkmhlcno

It posts the link to the vid and pre-populates with the video description, but it's still just a link with no pic or gif. And I've since learned that tumblr is image driven.....

Update: I found this gif maker toolbar extension for chrome:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...bapkhoonnhlnpe

It will record a portion of the actual video on my HT in full size. It makes a new tab to save the gif to HDD. Then I upload it to tumblr as a pic post. Link the HT video url to the pic and put a caption with URL. Frames, quality and duration are customizable.

This is the result:

Any easier methods out there?

Great works. But UV are not coming well.

*BUMP* Can anyone else give this guy any more ideas, other than to sell his blogs?

BTWI just put some stats on my tumblrs a couple minutes ago to see how they're performing.....so far, they're sending some traffic to my money sites, both regular and the mobile....still young though, but looks promising with some work.

depends
if you wanna make good gifs, eyecatching gifs, you'll need to work at it
if you wanna make quick easy gifs, just keep them under 400x400. at those dimensions the size limit is 2mb, so you wont feel as limited or have to put much effort into making them.

from there its your choice what method you want to use, but there isnt any one method of making gifs, and depending on what program/method you're using, the gifs will either be awesome or craptastic.

Hi thegreatestporn,

Why don't you send traffic to some affiliation programs and earn from revshare?
We can work for mature and fetish niches. Jut let me know if you are interested.

Isn't this against Tumblr TOS? I'm pretty sure they don't like affiliate links.

Actually, I could use some advice in this area myself. I am going to be doing a new blog that does have affiliate links, but I am wondering if I could also share some of the affiliate photos on Tumblr if I am trying to push towards my blog that has the links. I'd just link to them on Tumblr but I don't think I can, but of course to share photos owned by others could be considered copyright infringement. So, is there a good way to do this if I say all photos are courtesy of my partners and you can find more on my blog/site?

I actually will be doing this as an aside to some erotic hypnosis and such, so the main thing I want to do is get people to my site to explore what I'm directly offering. I feel Tumblr is a good way to get some people interested, and that uploading your own rather than just sharing is the best way to get subscribers, but I've seen cases of people being sued for illegal use of copyright. My plan is to do captions and such, and say the full story is on my site (also with disclaimers that the captions aren't endorsed by any of the affiliates linked to).

Perhaps I'm going about this all wrong, but this thread seems to be already trying to brainstorm some Tumblr ideas and thought I'd ask. Thanks everyone.

Steer clear of posting direct affiliate links, surefire way of getting shutdown. I'd say you can use affiliate photos I would think though. The point of those photos is for you to use them and drive traffic isn't it? Best bet would be to contact your affiliate manager and ask.

Thanks! That is along the lines of what I thought, and you're right that it could come down to the specific program as some might be okay with it and others not, so better to check.

I'm also looking to make some more off my tumblr. I have about 4000 followers on one blog, and I'm only using exoclick as of now. I'm only making a maximum of $0.20 per day. I might consider using crakrevenue, what do you guys think?

Only $0.20 a day? You could be making way more then that just using Plugrush's mobile redirect.
