Think about it. All the info you need is already given, just have to piece it together.

To the OP - if you've thought of something freaky enough that there is NO website about it yet...

edit: you'll also hae to set up some kind of credit card system for payments and what not.

you could also sell sex toys or have advertisements for sites that do

have fun!

Absolutely right. #1 is a little hard. Not many hosts will allow you to do that, well at least the good ones that I've found. I remember looking for webhosts and i noticed the ones I would've picked did not allow for pron (not that I was going to host any)...

I'm surprised it doesn't get asked more often.

After all, the porn industry is worth about 10 billion a year. Seriously.

No. But it's going to be awesome. I'm hoping it will land the college-aged men and women as talent.

(to the tune of Avril Lavigne's "Sk8terboi")


He was a shuttleboi
He liked dealing porno toys
His hands were not good enough for him

Now he's a pimping star
Wanking off at a bar

Reminds me of how after I signed up for one of the free web based email services I kept getting barnyard sex emails. Like, there's a market for that sh!t? Dubya Tee Eff.

and also move to LA, that seems to be where all the pornstars and wannabe pornstars are at.

More specifically, Chatsworth, the porn capital of the world.

I think you'll need to plan how you'll promote the site. Driving a steady flow of paying customers to your page will be more difficult than finding a pr0n hosting co. and some loose ladies. You'll only be competing with a few billion other webpages. GL

I used to live in the san fernando valley aka porn capital of the world. I heard from people that worked in the industry (was actually called by a headhunter for an analyst position at a porn/gaming company). The porn industry is VERY shady. They deal with cash and they move money around to avoid lawsuits etc. If this is your cup of tea then go for it.

Thanks for the warning. But what is shady about it? I thought porn was a legitimate business.

it is a legitimate business but they often deal with crap such as tax avoidance, under age pornstars, etc. so they get lawsuits all the time. I know of a guy that work as an accountant at a porn company.. all he does is move money around so that the company loses little money in possible lawsuits

Also I heard its very much a cash business (for the stars). Of course this is to avoid tax.
