This method will show you how to make a porn site. Its videos will attract a lot of horny people. You will receive earnings from advertisements, premium memberships and affiliate payments from companies your porn site links to.
The videos on the porn site will be legal, you won’t run into copyright issues and they don’t cost you a single cent! The only costs involved here are for getting a domain name.
| Investment needed: | $10-$12 for a domain |
| Working hours: | 2-3h for setting up the porn site (extra hours for driving traffic to the site) |
| Earning possibilities: | At the beginning between $0.10/day and $10/day |
| Skills needed: | General internet knowledge, affinity for the porn niche |
One of my porn sites in the “MILF” niche
1. Find A Niche For Your Porn Site
At first, you need to decide for a niche, so you can register an appropriate domain name. The niches you can use for this method are limited. However, there are so many niches available that it’s very likely you enjoy one of them.
The following niches are available:
Decide for one of those niches!
2. Register a Domain
After you decided for a niche, it’s time to register a domain. The domain needs to give a hint what your porn site is about. It is a good idea to combine your niche keyword with a word that indicates a video site. For example:
Milfporntube.xyz
Cumshotvideos.xyz
Pornamateursvids.xyz
You should stay with .com/.net/.org domains, as those tend to be most trusted by internet users. Especially adult sites have an image of being shady. Don’t give your visitors reasons to believe that.
I recommend using NameCheap as the place for registering your domain. The reason is that they are a reliable company and you will get a free Whois-protection. That means no one will find out that you are the owner of an adult site. You may not want your boss or your spouse to find out 😉
Activate WhoisGuard
After registering your domain, you might want to enable the WhoisGuard to protect your personal data. For doing this, click on “Manage Domains”. Now, click on the domain you just registered. In the overview, click on “Use an available subscription to start protecting your personal information now!”
In the next screen, pick your subscription and check the box next to “Enable WhoisGuard and protect my personal information from public access”. Finally, click on “Allot and Enable WhoisGuard”.
Done. No one will know your real identity from checking the domain. If you like, you can test it yourself by typing in your domain at whois.domaintools.com.
3. Register At PimpRoll
You’ve chosen a niche and registered a proper domain name. The next step is to setup a so-called HostedTube, which is a project by the adult affiliate company PimpRoll.
A HostedTube is something like a porn site builder that enables you to easily set up your own porn video site. The videos will be added automatically according to the niche you have chosen. Also, all ads will be displayed automatically and the revenue can be cashed out through your PimpRoll account. The tube is hosted on servers by PimpRoll. Therefore, there is no need to buy web hosting.
How can this be legal? Well, actually you don’t own any rights on the videos. All rights still belong to PimpRoll and its partner companies. The videos stay on their servers. Technically, you are just linking to the videos. They profit from any sales your porn site makes and so do you through the affiliate reward.
To get your own porn site, you first have to create an account at PimpRoll. Give them the info they ask for and please be honest in your application. After they approve your account, what might takes a while, you will be able to log in HostedTube with your PimpRoll login data.
4. Set Up Your Porn Site
In your HostedTube account, click on “Build Your Tube”.
In the next screen, fill out the info that is being asked for. Double-check your domain for spelling errors and make sure to choose the correct niche. Write a short but engaging slogan and choose your niche. You can pick several niches through holding CTRL while clicking. Leave the Tube Type as “Desktop”. Finally, click “Save & Continue”.
I’ve put in some random data as example for you. Please write a better slogan 😀
In the next step, they want you to choose a color scheme and fonts for your porn site. Choose what you think your target audience will like most and what fits best to your niche. Click “Save & Continue”.
After choosing a theme, you can design the index page of your homepage. Choose the sidebar to be either right or left. The header option can stay at the default value.
Under “customize your layout” you can arrange different blocks of content per drag and drop. This changes how the index page of your porn site will look like. I have my preferred layout, but this might not necessarily be the best for your target audience. Don’t worry about making a wrong decision. If you are not satisfied with the layout, you can change it later easily. Click “Save & Continue”.
In the next step, you will be able to create a logo for your porn tube. Fortunately, there is a preview of how it will look like. You can change the text, font size, colors and add a symbol. Try some options until you are satisfied with the logo. You can change it later again, if it doesn’t look well on the finished porn site. Click “Save & Continue”.
The main set up is nearly finished! Time to direct your domain to your tube. Note the lines under “Your DNS Info”.
Log in your NameCheap account and choose “Manage Domains”. Click on your domain and choose “Transfer DNS to Webhost”.
Choose “Specify Custom DNS Servers” and put in the DNS info you noted from HostedTube. One per line! Save the changes.
It can take up to 24h until your porn site is accessible through your domain name, but you haven’t even published it yet anyway. You can use the time perfectly to use the advanced editor for fine tuning your site.
Use the Advanced Editor
If you have time, you should definitely spend it on fine tuning your porn tube.
Under “Site Details” in the Advanced Editor you can add a Twitter account. If you want to create one for your website, do so and add it in the field.
Design & Layout
“Content Blocks”, “Color Scheme”, “Logo Creator”, “Fonts” have already been set up by you.
“Page Background” enables you to upload an own image as background, but I recommend staying with the theme as it is.
The “Favorite Icon”, better known as Favicon, is a tiny picture that is displayed by most internet browsers. For example, the ProfitArmy Favicon is a small helmet. You can add one for your porn site here.
“Navigation” enables you to change the look of your porn site’s navigation. This will have minor effects only. Choose what you prefer!
At “Player Page” you can choose the banner that will be displayed under your videos. It will encourage users to become a premium member of your porn site. Choose one that fits to your sites’ theme!
The options for “Ad Zones” have been disabled, as the best setup is done for you automatically.
With the option “Premium” you can customize your premium landing page. I always leave this option at “Direct Join”.
Content
“Videos & Updates” allows you to edit the video length and how many new updates there should be added each day. I can’t think of any reason for not putting it at maximum value. Limiting it may increases premium membership sells, but it is also frustrating for the users. I want my users to come back whenever they are horny, as I believe this to be more profitable in the long run.
“Thumbs” – here you can edit the layout of the thumbnails which are showing a preview of your video. I always leave the settings at default.
SEO & Analytics
“Page Copy”, give your site some descriptions for SEO reasons. This will take you a while, but it can also bring in extra traffic from the search engines. You can add some keywords related to your niche to your descriptions. I’ve written about how to find adult keywords with Google’s Keyword Planner in the past.
At “Niche Copy” you can write different descriptions for the niches you selected.
“Analytics” enables you to add your porn site to Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools. You should track the amount of traffic with Google Analytics. Create a new property in your Analytics account and put in the ID in the corresponding field (labelled “Google Analytics ID”).
At “URL Slugs” you can edit a part of your URL. Choose your keyword or something else that is niche related. Keep it short.
At “Hard Links” you can add your own URLs. Maybe you plan create other adult websites later and then you could interlink between your projects.
5. Preview and Publish your Porn Site
After you filled out all fields it’s time to preview your site. For doing this, just click “Preview”. I hope you like it! If you are satisfied just hit the “Publish” button. If you don’t like something, just go back to the editor and change it. After publishing, it can still take some hours for your site to finally be available at your domain name.
6. Drive Traffic to your Porn Site
Congratulations! Your site is live. Great feeling, isn’t it? But what is a porn site without people watching porn on it?
You can drive traffic to your porn site with my other adult methods:
Drive Traffic to your Adult Website on Autopilot
Build an Adult Autoblog and receive Social Media Traffic
Always keep in mind: you are satisfying people’s jack off needs while making money. It’s a win-win situation 😉
Let me know what you think in the comments.
What’s the most you’ve earned from one of these pimproll sites per day? I would have thought because they are almost a “whitelabel” they do badly in search engines. Have you ever tried making your own unique tube site? I wonder what is the best software for having your own tube site.
My earnings per site range from $0.10/day and $10/day. I think it’s very important to not just have one site but as many as you possibly can.
It’s true that those sites tend to rank a bit worse. I think that’s due to duplicate content. However, they can rank in Google. One of my HostedTubes ranks on #8 for a quite competitive keyword.
I have never build my own. The reason is that I don’t want to get into legal trouble and most of those self-made sites definitely hurt copyrights.
Hi,
I read this above entire blog and made up my mind to start this up to make money out, but i have few doubts here,
1. I would like to know that what is the mode of cash-out? i mean is there any option to get paid through PayPal? Payza? or Please let me know all the modes of payment which are available to me.
Hi Rakesh,
Pimproll offers the payment options check, wire transfer and Paxum.
Pimproll pays every week!
Hey !
How long did it take for you to register a Pimproll account ?
I did it about ten days ago and I still haven’t got an answer…
Thanks for your help.
Hi Peter,
I registered a long time ago, so I can’t really remember how many days it took to be approved. I recommend that you contact the support by email and kindly ask when your application will be processed. It’s holiday season, so they might not work with full staff.
Hey ! Thanks for this article !
I registered to PimpRoll and HostedTbe and also built my first tube. The problem is that the layout of the tube builder isn’t the same as yours, and I’m far from having as much customization possibilities as you !
Did they change their builder or did I do something wrong ?
Thanks 🙂
Hi Pascal,
I just checked it. You did nothing wrong: the HostedTube admin panel has a new design. I’ll have to update this post and change the screenshots. Thanks for making me aware!
How much control is there over a website’s content.
Say I’d like to go more niche .. for example “anal dildo teens” instead of “anal”
IS that possible automatically?
Is it possible manually (by weeding out non-fitting videos, for example?)
Very specific niche targeting like this is not possible. You would have to choose one or more broader niches. You may want to check out the adult autoblog method, as there are no such restrictions.
Hello, first I’d like to say your tutorials are fantastic and I’ve read them many times I’ll be buying hosting tomorrow for the ‘autoblogs’.
On this page you recommend namecheap on the autoblog tutorial you recommend arvixe to set up the autoblogs, could I not use arvixe for this porntube project too using subdomains?
Secondly, I’d like to set up a private site (possibly on the back of the subdomains or maybe I’d need a separate domain?) where visitors either pay to watch content or pay to join the site (I own the copyright of the adult content as it’s mine) is it possible you could write a tutorial on how to do this or if you could tell us how to do it we would be most grateful for your help.
Thank you in advance.
Hi James,
thank you for the kind words!
This method does not require web hosting. You only need a domain (as you said, I recommend Namecheap) and the site’s content is hosted on the servers of PimpRoll without any costs. We cannot work with subdomains here. You would need a new domain for every new niche.
The adult autoblog method is a bit different: here we need our own web hosting and can work with subdomains.
You already have your own content and now want to set up a private site. However, this method is for people that do not have own content.
There are more methods coming about the adult niche, so stay tuned!
Thank you for such a quick reply!
I’m going to set up the autoblogs first and see how that goes then take it from there.
What I’m saying is me and the Mrs have our own content and I’d like to set up a website so people can pay to join or pay just to view the contect they want to see, this would be video clips and photo sets, however i have no idea how to go about doing this and there is a market for amateur sites with it’s own content like ours, I’ve been unable to find any guides on how to set this up.
I’m looking forward to further tutorials.
Thank you.
Now I know what you mean by “private content” 😀
I thought you were talking about exclusive content you bought somewhere.
I would build a membership site, where people have to pay to access all your videos. I’d promote it through building adult autoblogs linking back to the membership site and uploading watermarked videos or short preview clips on all the free porn tubes.
Hi.
Im trying to sign up but i had few problem my country does not listed in sign up form. Is it possible to sign up at pimproll first registering the domain.
Hi,
you’d have to discuss this issue with the PimpRoll support team. Here you’ll find the contact data: https://www.pimproll.com/support.html
Hey great post and very informative blog, looking forward to reading more content about the adult niche !
You mentionned that this type of tube site tend to rank worse compared to other solution. Is it possible to just write unique description of each videos you upload through hostedtube ?
I guess this is a LOT of work but heck… that would certainly bring more seo traffic ?
Any thoughts ?
Thanks !
Thank you!
Yes, that’s possible. However, each of my tubes has over 5k videos online. I can’t imagine myself sitting there and writing all those titles. If you decide to do so, make sure to use appropriate long-tail keywords.
Thanks, make sense.
Another quick question, is it possible to integrate advertising from ad network such as exoclick using this solution or this is restricted to display only ad from pimproll sponsor ?
Thanks for your time.
You can integrate a whole range of other adult affiliate programs and networks. However, there is no option for integrating ExoClick. I guess they want to concentrate on their own ad network TrafficForce.
Thanks Sgt ! Much appreciated.
You’re welcome 🙂
so the maximum u can make using this method is 10 dollars a day
No, there is no maximum. You can make millions with this method. It’s just questionable how realistic this is 😀
Also, you left out an important part: I wrote about the earnings “per site” and you shouldn’t have only one site anyways.
oh ok be realistic how many site can i have with pimproll and how many is a good amount to make a decent living
Hi Charles,
there is no limit of sites I’m aware of. How much you need to make a decent living is hard to say because it depends on which niche you choose, how you drive traffic and what amount is enough to make a decent living in your country. I’d recommend that you start with 3-5 sites, learn how to drive traffic and then you can scale everything up until you earn the amount you want to earn.
your awesome dude im in the USA i like the way you handle your fans to bad we don’t have enough of your kind in the sates and one more question do u recommend having a blended site no niche in particular just a site that has every type of content
Thank you for the nice words Charles!
I always recommend to use a specific niche. It means less competition and more targeted visitors who will eventually become buyers faster. I believe that having a larger target audience does not necessarily mean that you will make more money.
Hi im from Philippines, there’s no option for philippines in the Country drop down of pimproll. I can’t register?
Hi,
unfortunately, people from the Philippines are not allowed to sign up. They make exceptions from time to time, however, according to the support guy not for the Phillipines. I’ll try to find an alternative for all you guys who cannot use PimpRoll. Please stay tuned.
Unfortunaly Malaysia, Singapore also can’t used it.
Thanks for adding that information Lee. These countries cannot join PimpRoll:
Afghanistan, Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cuba, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kaliningrad, Kazakhstan, Korea, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Malaysia, Moldova, North Korea, Pakistan, Philippines, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sudan, Syria, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Thailand, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Yemen, and Yugoslavia.
Support said that they do make exceptions from time to time, so build an awesome website and ask the support to approve it!
Thank you for all your articles I think this is all great stuff. But, 0.10/day to $10/day hardly seems worth even setting this porn tube up.
Thanks Joe. I think it doesn’t take long to set up and provides a nice passive income, but of course we all value our time differently.
