How to make money with Xtube and PornoTube.
Here is a simple tute on how to make money and get signups with the "tubes".
1. Sign up for a Video on Demand sponsor. You should have already signed up for AEBN. Here are some others and their pros / cons:
a. AEBN - The best thing about AEBN is they are truly free to sign up for, AND they have some killer promo stuff like free minutes, rentals and downloads. So, it's easy to get people to sign up. I got 152 signups in October. Now, a signup doesn't equal instant money. Once they run out of minutes and are still horny, then they have to break out the plastic and pay. When they start paying, you get 20% for as long as they are customers, whether or not you are actively promoting AEBN.
b. Pornstar.com / BlingBucks - Is a membership program. Members get unlimited downloads per month, which is great for the serious pervs out there, or the value minded pervs. We love the pervs. Anyhow, they pay you Per Signup, or Revenue share, and they have a toy store that gets you 25% of all sales. Plus, you can download 16 GIG of movies to cut your own custom promotional vids (just keep them under 45 seconds)
c. Maximum Cash - $35 Pay Per Signup. Advertises "Free Lifetime Membership" which requires the surfer to input their Credit Card or Bank Account for "age verification". Nothing is charged at that time, but once they get into the members area, if they want to download anything, they will be charged (they'll be asked / warned first). This is a little deceptive IMO, but they've made me over $100 in less than 2 weeks with a ratio of about 1:50, so I'm not going to complain. They do not have a webmaster referral program that I am aware of. Sucks to be me, oh well.
d. ZTOD - I have not promoting this one yet, but they have a very nice looking site and their FHG's are very nice. They pay per signup OR 60% rev share
e. Adult Rental Cash - Looks like a great program, but I can't get their videos to play from the client side. I think its a problem with their system and FireFox, I haven't tried it with IE yet. Choose between either $25.00 per sign up or 25% lifetime revenue sharing. Something else that they offer is a "white label" which is basically a full site that you host under your domain, but they handle all the billing, support, etc.
f. Pay as you Click - is combination VOD / AVS sponsor. Basically if you want to supply the traffic, your surfers can purchase videos and pics for as little as $0.01 per pic. Most 6 - 7 minute videos are $2.00. If you have content, you can sell it through their network. So, with PayasYouClick, you can work it from both sides. They pay a revenue share up to 50%. It's a little more complex than just a straight 50% so you'll have to read up on it yourself.
2. Sign up for Xtube and PornoTube
a. Xtube allows unlimited uploads and is more "social". People can request to be your friend and subscribe to your videos. That way whenever you add a new video, they get notified. Xtube takes about 24 hours for the videos to show up on their site, but if you're posting everyday, that's not a big deal. My experience is Xtube is better about consistent signups / sales over a longer time frame. Oh yeah, make sure you sign up as a Webmaster.
b. PornoTube gets your videos listed in 5 minutes or so. They're great for instant satisfaction so to speak. I like them because of the fast load time because you can see hits right away versus having to wait a day or two.
Both sites' stats are fucked to put it bluntly. PornoTube shows zero hits on all my movies, yet my sponsor's stats say different. Xtube's stats are just weird, they record some hits, but not all. For example, I have lots of videos that show more people have flagged it as a favorite than have viewed it.
3. Now that you have signed up, it's time to prepare your videos for upload.
a. Got to your sponsor and download the videos you are going to upload to the tubes.
b. Break open your favorite video editing software. Windows Movie Maker is a free download and works fine, but if you want something more advanced (you don't need it unless you are cutting videos) I like Ulead VideoStudio 10 (about $100, but they have a 30 day trial). But use what works for you.
c. ** Wait ** before you go any further, set up a folder on your site named "free" or "pussy" or "rent" or anything that short and easy to remember. Then put an "index.html" file in it (assuming that you're on Apache) and use a meta redirect to your sponsor. See www.PornoGothica.com/free for an example (you'll need to hit stop before it redirects you, duh). I like to put a half page or full page ad on the page just in case the redirect doesn't work. Upload it and move on to the next step.
d. Okay, NOW load a movie into your editing software. At the end of the movie add 10 seconds of promo text. For my AEBN videos I put something like: No member fees, No bullshit, and We'll Give you 10 minutes free. Then the url under the text: www.PornoGothica.com/free. Save your edited video and get ready to upload.
3. Time to upload your videos.
a. If you are uploading to Xtube for the first time, you will need to set up your "linking codes". You'll need to tell them who your sponsor is, what their url is, and what your affiliate id is. Then you will can add a linking code to it with your affiliate url and a 120x60 button. This will be displayed along with your description.
b. When you upload your videos you will fill out the title you want, a description, tag the vids, and for PornoTube add credits. Be sure to put your redirect link and some promo text in the description and credits (on PornoTube). Don't forget. It makes a HUGE difference in your click throughs and conversions. Trust me I found this out the hard way. Couldn't figure out why I was getting signups one week and then very few the next. Had about 5 videos with just the link at the end of the video.
c. Xtube will let you upload as many videos as you want in a row for as long as you want (sit there for six hours and just upload vids if you're bored. I don't recommend it though), whereas PornoTube seems to have some sort of limit. With PornoTube upload 3 videos and wait an hour. I've tried upload more than 3 within that time and they didn't show up. Plus, if you just do three videos to each site per day, you'll only spend about 1 - 2 hours total from start to finish. Not bad, plus the videos are there forever, so as you continue to get friend requests more people see your old and new videos. I haven't uploaded any video to either for the past five days and still have gotten about 1000 hits to my sponsors, and 31 signups, and 3 sales ($105 worth of sales). Not too shabby.
