I'm starting a niche adult website and I wanted to know which model might work best. Pay Per Click or a small $4.95 a month subscription. I figure the monthly because with just 1,000 subscribers you're making close to 5 grand a month whereas with Pay Per Click you need 100 -200 thousand visitors to start seeing some real money. Has anyone had experience with both of these models and how did it work out? Thanks in advance.
Hey there @romeopov Both of them would work great, however for both you would need over 100k traffic. This is mainly because not all of your visitors will pay the $4.95 monthly subscription - Here I think it would be better to create a paysite, where you would reward the people who bring you new clients with a certain percentage of the users they bring and buy the monthly subscription. On the other side, a pay per click one would be more easier but if it's niched, your users might not like the amount of ads. Therefore, a good option would be to create both. Create a website on the ppc model and if they don't want ads and also want acess to premium content - they should buy the monthly subscription. If you're going to need traffic to rank you website higher and get a good amount of people on your website - contact my colleague - Andrew - on skype : live:andrew.pinvert. Regards, Steve
Thanks for the advice Steve. I'm thinking about doing a mixture of both. I think ads might be ok as long as there isn't any pop ups.
It depends. If you have a niched websites and you put popups from that niche, that wouldn't be so annoying - as it brings something the visitor is interested in. Otherwise, pop ups is not a great idea.
