    Hello!

    Sites like xvideos, pornhub, youporn, etc,....How the webmaster earn profit out of those kind of sites?

    I mean,...I know they could earn money with some affiliate programs, some adult PPC,....But as I am aware of, there is no much profit out of CPM advertising and the adult PPC programs have weird policies.

    How can someone earn money with a 100% free adult website?

    I'd appreciate your ideas.

    Regards.

    Probably through what you just said, or offering premium accounts. I have seen free sites like that, but you could get premium accounts for "Extras". Surprisingly a lot of people want that.

    Adult website webmasters earn mainly through affiliate links. The banners which looks like a pornographic content is linked with affiliate link and then redirected to the main affiliate provider's page. They also sell banners and links to other related websites :)

    thanks for your responses.

    Those affiliate programs obviously are about other "paying" websites, right?

    I am in a country where people don't buy stuff on the internet. They are very afraid of online payments. And the niche is about people in this country so I cannot promote it internationally.

    I was looking for options to earn money with a free website (as I told, people here won't buy anything)

    I cannot speak for today but years ago i purchased an adult website package from a company and spent a lot of time promoting it but sadly the only people that saw any revenue from those efforts were the company itself who were constantly employing stalling tactics with regards to revenue payments.

    That taught me that if you want to make money on the internet it is better to be in control of things yourself rather than relying on companies to back up their glossy brochures as all i was really doing was promoting their site and getting them countless backlinks and untold advertising and i never saw a penny.

    In my opinion if you are wanting to start a free adult web site it would not be a wise choice to go with a "tube" site. They use a TON of bandwidth and unless you're very prepared and have the right traffic (which you mentioned you do not) then I would steer clear of any tube type of site.

    Depending on the country you're in some ad companies will not pay much if anything at all for the traffic, so even if you go with that angle you still may not make much.

    You mention that the niche is for people in your country, but is it possible that the people looking for that niche may not be in your country? I know you say you can't promote it internationally but is that really the case? Many times things like for instance the "Asian" niche aren't so much popular with Asians as they are Americans who have an Asian fetish. Same goes for Indian and other ethnic groups that have an adult presence.

    If you are going to design the site for people in your own country who you feel don't buy anything on the web, then you may want to give it a second and third thought before spending too much time with adult.

    Jak, thanks for your excellent response ;)

    The page won't be a tube site but the content will be provided by users. Here in this country, people like to find and see pictures of local amateurs, they are always looking for locals, all the time. They don't care if they are ugly or beautiful since they are from this country. Other forums where people post pictures of local amateurs couples,....have a HUGE success. They have some Adult Friend finder advertising, some other advertising from local sex shops, and that's it. I don't know if they have a good profit. But I don't want to start a website like this if I won't have a decent income.

    they make money through ads. And because of the traffic that they get they charge up to 5000 for 7 days adspace.

    They earn money from ads... If you take a good look at their websites you will find that they usually have ads from AFF or any other adult website such as brazzers...
    Some of them monetise by using PPC too such as blacklabelads...

    But a tube site is not worth it if you want to make money online and the reason behind this is simple

    You will need a massive load of traffic :/ + adult tube site could get you in some trouble... :/

    just make a premium section and offer exclusive contents and bonuses. Also putting affiliate banners is a monetization

    I experimented with a free porn site. User-submitted content. Used ads to generate money.

    My word, what fun I had. Had to fight spammers off the whole time (and it wasn't just spamming scripts hitting sites all over the net, some of the guys were actively targetting my site), fight off the trolls posting child and animal porn, etc, etc.

    In the end I made very little out of it - few clicks here and there which didn't even amount to $10 in as many months.

    As such, I killed the site and moved on.
