I made 60 bucks last month.

2 pounds of dirt

Just over 20k, and boy I'm fucking tired!

congrats! You have to start somewhere. I started in 1999 and was happy to make 20 bucks a day!

"if you can make one dollar online - you can make a million"

Yeah don't understand all the hate...$250 is a lot better then $0 and every month I'm sure his income will keep going up as long as he keeps working at it. For a lot of people this isn't their full-time job, I make money off my blogs and all of that money is extra cash I can use for rent, things I enjoy, vacations, etc...so it's nice to get some extra cash from adult on top of your regular paycheck.

Congrats on your best month. My advice is stick at it and dont listen to these people who say theres no money in porn anymore

Its taken us 8 years but we now get over 100,000 uniques DAILY and ranked 28,000 ish on Alexa http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/tacamateurs.com#

I made $1000 a month the past 3 months jus trying to maintain my weed habbit lol

thanks for the responses everyone... will be addressing some of the points without the quotes

as for a network... i think microsoft identifies 2 computers linked together as a network... but i digress

my first site i started about 2 years ago and for the first half it was only a collection of embeded youtube videos. didn't even use any sponsors... was just a site for fun. early this year i started throwing shit at the wall with sponsors and identified a few

over the past 2 months i have had increases in sales every month after doing a redesign on how i was promoting the sponsors...

the on the 3 sites in my network... yes, network are all about 3 months old and are basically just sitting there germinating until i decide exactly how i want to go forward with them.

also, not a content creator so of course this is a different world than a lot of you on here... i just promote a few sponsors and am starting on cams

i expected the jerk-offs to respond but am pleasantly surprised by the positive words of some of you... thanks again for the encouragement. my goal here was to put a realistic $ on someone who is relatively new to the game and working a few hours a week

It seems to create animosity when I post my stats, so I shall refrain from doing it.

But you're doing well to make that much with just 4 sites in your network. I have close to 700 and they dont make as much per site as yours are doing.

Enough to make down payment for 1996 Peugeot.

I remember when you first started your site, talked to you back then on hahahahahahaha...it's looking good and glad you're making money off of it!

i plan on adding a site a month or so... but i'd like to get what i have rolling first...

i figure 100 sites making 500 each a month would be a nice target... lol

I have a site that makes me $250 a month... But then I have many of those and many more that make more...

Well, that IS 'The Mister Peabody Way': add a site a month. Here's my latest & greatest, just approved by CCBill today:

Look what Mister P can do with shit - spin it into pure....copper, at least.

If you're doing cams, not paysites, or sponsers-only you'll experience a wide range of sales, from 0 - x+, depending on the cams, the sponsers, etc. You would need a 100 or more to really get going, especially today, but if they all average out to $500 per month then you're golden. I wouldn't recommend getting into the paysite game because creating/obtaining your own content is a real bitch (and not in a good way, not like a good bitch can be so goo-o-o-d kinda way).

thanks peabody... i actually have a glamour model friend and we are starting a very small site for her... i am going to shoot the pics and vid and we will probably sell zip sets and a low price membership that will include a web cam chat a week or so

3 magic beans

ps... i had 440 visits today from search

Oct. started off quite well, then google busted out the 14 foot dildo with no lube

a panda ate all my sales starting in august

Actually it is an average of $8 a day, i don't care if thats after 12 hours slogging over a keyboard or if the sites are on auto pilot and he hasn't touched them, it's an average.

If it's really $8 for ten minutes work, why not work for thirty minutes and make $24 or maybe go crazy and work for a full hour and pull $48? Don't bother answering, you know the real answer.

U are so good at word problems. U must have rocked 4th grade math.

your doing it gr8, i made few bucks from mainstream and 3 transactions from cam , 1 sale from tgp.

so not much ... i dont even keep track., now i just build and build, ill think about it when i reach 5k/month

good luck

My advice is pick ONE site and stick with it. If you have a network, then put all the sites on one domain and push that domain. (eg http://www.tacamateurs.com )

Its FAR better to have one big site ranked on places like google than to have lots of little sites ranked way down.

Id also take the $250 youve earned and re-invest ALL of it in buying fresh traffic. Keep doing that for 6 months or so before you take any money out yourself.

Most importantly stick at pushing the ONE site. Dont be tempted to start launching lots of little sites as they wont make a bean. You really can be earning tens of thousands per MONTH in this game. It can take years but you'll get there

Good luck

Some of the stupidest, more generalized advice I have heard...

I stand by our results http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/tacamateurs.com#

So you think the long tail is nonsense then?

Does this tally with your own analytics?

https://img.skitch.com/20111103-gqmi...gentapw3ry.jpg

Alexa is bollocks.

I dont know why but you seem to have a problem with every post I make

Ive no idea what you mean by the "long tail". All Im saying is to run a network, its far easier to market a single domain than it is to try and run lots of smaller ones

I know because thats exactly how we started back in 2003, ie with lots of smaller domains. It wasnt until we put them altogether on tacamateurs.com that things really started to take off. Now Im glad to say we get over 100,000 uniques a day and Id much rather have all that going to one domain than having it spread accross dozens of smaller domains

By the way, your own site is ranked 1,889,189

I think this is the second of third time I've replied to any of your posts here. Not sure what you mean?


It's essentially totally the opposite to what you were saying the OP should do. It's the reason for amazon's success. The idea that if you get 1000 people buying Dan Brown or 2 people buying a weird unusual book. But if you get 1000s of the people wanting the weird book, you make more money in the long run.

Yes, I understand what you are saying. I just wondered if that meant you give no credence to the long tail. As you've not heard of it, I guess it does. That's all. Just another idea, not knocking your obvious success, just asking you a question.

Heh. Nice edit adding that.

My site is for B2B marketing. How many of the idiots that install the alexa bar do you think would be interested in that? What %? Roughly?

Why do some people think traffic means jack? It's worse than people who dick wave about turnover. Profit is the only thing that counts.

JohnRingo, if the most you have ever made in a month from multiple different sites is $250, why do you act so much like you're the shit?

if you read my post, you will see that nearly all the sales came from 1 site... the other 3 are only a few months old...

as for why i party like i have a 12" cock... well that's easy... i do:1orglaugh

:thumbsup

While I think this wouldn't have been the ideal strategy in the past, and therefore technically wrong, I think it may be the best strategy moving forward. If there's one lesson to be learned from Panda, it's that you don't want to ever see yourself in a situation where your looking back in time wondering what the fuck you did wrong or find yourself sitting there with your hand on your cock trying to decode the new algo. Rather than being perpetually one step behind, and maybe this is just the chess player in me talking, but I think it's better to anticipate what Google will do next and be proactive instead of reactive. With that being said, my guess is that the next update will put a greater weight on internal linking. When buying links, starting crap websites to linkback to your main site, doing link exchanges etc., you can do so without regard to what effect it will have on your shitty feeder site, or the person selling links, or your b and d of your abcd exchange or whatever the fuck, but if you link crap to yourself, you're effectively shitting on yourself, so it's only reasonable to assume that you're links to yourself are not crap and if this holds true, having a big site gives you a virtual army of pages for a strategic non-crap internal linking strategy.

what TACNet recommends is the best method for panda. you guys are idiots sometimes.

Panda showed that having all your eggs in 1 website is suicide.

Depends on the basket. Many people fared well.

Ended with about $400 less in october compared to november.

For sure, but if you were one of the ones that didn't, with just one basket, you're fucked. Simple as :)

you can read the future?
