In today’s digital age, creators in the adult industry have more opportunities than ever to connect with their audience and monetize their content. While platforms like OnlyFans offer a convenient starting point but have limitations. To build a sustainable and profitable business, it’s crucial to go beyond these platforms and establish your brand and online presence.

That’s where your own website comes in. It becomes the central hub for all your activities, giving you complete control over your content, audience, and revenue streams.

Why Owning Your Website Is Key

1. Central Hub & Community Building:

• Your website acts as a home base for all your content, social media feeds, and interactive features.
• Enabling comments, forums, or live chats where fans can interact with you and each other can foster a sense of community.
• Building a loyal fanbase will translate to long-term success.

2. SEO & Organic Traffic:

• Craft engaging and informative blog posts centered on your videos. Share behind-the-scenes stories, inspirations, and even funny anecdotes.
• Optimize these posts with relevant keywords to rank higher in search engine results, attracting new viewers who are actively searching for similar content.
• This organic traffic is invaluable and reduces your reliance on paid advertising.

3. Monetization & Control:

• Owning your platform unlocks diverse revenue streams. You can offer subscription plans for exclusive content, pay-per-view options for individual videos, and even sell merchandise related to your brand.
• You can seamlessly promote your OnlyFans or similar platforms on your website, driving traffic to those paid channels and maximizing your income potential.
• Building brand recognition around your website ensures that viewers remember you and return directly to your platform rather than an obscure OnlyFans URL.

Limitations of Only Fans – The Porn Ban That Was Reversed

Not only is it good for getting found in search, but it’s also good for your independence. You’re not solely relying on a Only Fans, Feetfinder, or Pornhub for your income. Back in 2021 Only Fans made this move and actually banned sexual content! I have no idea what ‘other’ creators are even using the platform!

Safe to say they reversed course pretty quickly once they realized 99% of their creators were selling porn!

But that’s kind of my point, it’s better to own a website that you’re 100% in control of. By all means use the other platforms as well, figure out a posting schedule, and share the love across them all. But always point them back to a website where they can find you. And use a platform that has a cart built in to handle purchases.

Research What Content To Make

One of the best ways to find viewers quickly is to use SEO and to meet the demand of the market. One of the best tools out there is Mangools, which utilizes Google’s data to see what people are searching for, how many searches there are per month, and how difficult it is to show up for the given keyword phrase on the first page of Google.

The importance of this is that the CORRECT Traffic = Income.

Correct traffic is key because that means that we’re looking to pull in people looking for something specific that we’re offering.

Take a look at this example down below for PornHub.com’s rankings. “Furry Hentai” is being searched for 68,000 times a MONTH and the KD (keyword difficulty) is only 5 out of 100 — meaning that this keyword is not hard to rank for in Google. Pornhub shows up as number 1 in Google.

So does that mean you could run a porn site that is entirely about Furry Hentai? Well…. yes* but with an astrisk!

Always check your keyword in Google itself to see what comes up. Pornhub is in fact number one!

But now look down the list at number 2. Looks like a website…. you guessed it… it’s all about furry hentai!

Simple, really.

So how do you make it work?

Place the Content On Your Site as Posts

If you host any free videos on a specific platform, you’ll want to start making posts for each video. Embed the video on the post itself at the top, then write a decent little blog post about the content. This is where you’re telling a story about why, where, and what is going on in the content. This is also where you want to be as genuine as possible because Google is eventually going to see these posts and start ranking them.

So if you’re making videos about dirty cartoon characters that you draw and make into videos, you’re going to title the page appropriately and use those keywords in the content so that Google knows what to do with it.

Google’s job is to organize the internet. Your job is to make it clear what it is your content is.

I suggest making posts for each video, and then putting simple links to the things that get you paid. So if you use Onlyfans as a platform, Pornhub, etc — you’ll want to link people to those services.

Here’s the flow….

How to Start a Porn Site

Step 1: Buy a Hosting and Domain

The first and foremost thing that you need in order to create a porn site is to have a hosting and domain for your site, but be careful because not all hosting companies allow porn. DreamHost is one of the best hosting providers, which is affordable, they have excellent customer support (personally I’ve been using them off and on for over 20 years), and it allows adult content.

They also have a neat feature which is you can host UNLIMITED websites with one fee, and you get a free domain too

I advise you get a yearly plan because you save a lot of money and it takes a while to get a website off the ground.

Click on the Shared option — there are more plans to see.

Here is where you decide to get a single website or the Pro option for unlimited. For the price difference, you’ll see it’s like pennies on the dollar. As of today and this writing, it’s actually the same price. So.. go get the Pro plan!

It should come to about $35-$55 for two years.
