Note: This content was originally written by Titimowse ("The Professor") and published on the old Cozyacademy.com over 10 years ago, a site that is no longer live and, as a result, the great wealth of knowledge it provides for the adult webmasters community was nearly lost. I recovered this article from an old archive and no part of this work belongs to me. I republished it here for the benefit of the adult community.
Open your note pads. Here is a quick list of some of the basic software and services you’ll need to get you started making a website. To get the trading tools we recommend to visit Skrumble.
Graphic Editing Software
You are dealing with a visual medium. A program that views, resizes and converts images into web-friendly formats will be a staple in your stock of software. Some good programs are Adobe Photoshop, PaintShop Pro and ThumbsPlus. Like most of the software suggested in this lesson, you can find links to downloadable versions inside Cozy Frog’s Design Tool Box.
HTML Editing Software
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language and is the code or language that websites are written in. HTML is easy to learn and there are many tutorials at resource sites that teach you the language. An HTML editor is a program that already knows the code. Many HTML editors are WYSIWYG. WYSIWYG means “What you see is what you get” and is the type of computer program the lets you drag and drop images and text into a window where you can see exactly how your page will look as you build it. Some HTML editors are Microsoft Frontpage, Dreamweaver and CoffeeCup Free HTML. You can learn more about HTML editors in our HTML Language classroom.
Web Hosting
Naturally, to have an Adult site, you will need a place to host it. Do not make the mistake of using the personal webpage account (furnished by your Internet Service Provider) to host your pornographic page. As a rule they do not allow such content to be served from their domains. The same rule applies to non-adult free hosts like Geocities, Tripod and AngelFire. If you cannot afford to pay for a domain name or the cost of webhosting, it’s best to begin with the many Adult free hosts available to you. In fact, starting out with a page on a free host is the superlative way to test the cyber porn waters without a financial investment which you can lead to more profitable investments like coins available from
. If you wish to spend money for webhosting, there are many that are affordable and reliable. Browse the Hosting category in our Library for a complete list of paid and free adult web hosts.
Content
If you have a digital camera and legal age models, you can make your own content for your site. You can also buy images, videos and erotic stories from brokers that specialize in Adult content. If you have little money, many larger paysites will provide you with free content in trade for promoting their services on your site. These larger sites are called sponsors. Some resource sites give free content to their members. Remember to always read the Terms of Service when using free content.
Traffic Counters
A traffic counter is code that is embedded on your page and usually hyper-linked to a small image banner. Adult counters are extensive and informative ways to determine how many surfers are visiting your page. They can tell you where your surfer came from, what time of day they entered your site and even what search terms they used to find you. Most hosting companies these days will include detailed statistics and traffic tracking with your hosting account.
Sponsors
While you may be able to generate a good income from charging your surfers to enter your site, you might want to begin making money by selling someone else’s content. Sponsors are larger Adult Internet businesses that usually have a network of paysites. You display their banners or text links on your website with a specially attached code. For every one of your surfers that buys a membership from your code, your sponsor pays you a commission. Many types of sponsorships are available to you in various formats.
As you can tell from reading this lesson, you have a lot of work ahead of you. Selling sex on the Internet is not easy, but nothing worth doing ever is. If you have the willingness to learn this business and the discipline to apply your knowledge, you will find porn is career that frees you from nine-to-five drudgery and enables you to be your own boss. Cozy Academy will be with you every step of the way and we look forward to seeing you reach your highest potential!
"I’m an adult webmaster. I also have mainstream sites, but I made my bones in adult websites. I don’t create content or have sites with picture or movie content; instead I create sites that I like to call “traffic magnets”. Sites that simply attract and move around traffic. Sometimes I feel like a commodities broker. I’ll figure out that I can trade 100,000 hits from a lesbian site for 75,000 hits from an Asian site to get 120,000 hits from a BBW site which is what I really wanted to begin with..."
"...if you have 100 visitors coming in per day and you send them off to a site that returns you an average of three visitors for every one, well now you have had 400 people coming to your site. That’s a 400% increase in visitors!..."
