Adult Webmaster Beginner's Guide

If you have arrived at Aerosly's page, you must be a complete beginner with an interest in starting your own adult website. If
starting your own adult website is not what you want to do, then this page probably isn't for you. You can click here to leave.

Let's be honest here... there really is no easy way to set up a real, licensed, registered, law-compliant adult
website when you're building from scratch. Regardless of what kind of site you're running (paysite, free site,
TGP, link dump, etcetera), the only way to truly be successful at this endeavor is to read, read, read, study,
work hard, read some more, make a few false starts and then- once you're no longer a beginner- settle in
and start bringing in some money.

THAT SAID, we all know there are always going to be a few people out there who want to take the easy
road to getting started. After all, that's the American way. For you folks who really want to hit the ground
running and jump right in to this business, there ARE a few resources who will ease your entry into the
business and hand you all the tools you need on a silver platter. Extensive business relationships with these
organizations allow us to feel comfortable recommending them. If you want to take the easy road (and we
won't hold it against you if you do), here are the two resources you're going to need:

Adult Webmaster Starter Kit - We were amazed when we found this juicy morsel being offered by Ariana,
one of the more established adult sites on the 'net. They pretty much do everything for you: they give you
a professionally designed site, let you pick a theme (so your site is custom), work with you to establish your
niche and even go as far as to HOST the site for you for free. If you really want to take the easy road, this is
about as close as you're going to get.

Content, Affiliations and Promotions - Don't let the name fool you; Nasty Dollars is anything but sleazy. We
have dealt with them on various occassions and always had the utmost professional treatment. No matter what
kind of site you're starting, you're going to need content. If you're starting a free site, you're also going to need
sponsors. Nasty Dollars gives you both. Even better, their content is FREE and it doesn't cost anything to
sign up. This resource, coupled with the Adult Webmaster Starter Kit mentioned above, are the bare essentials
to getting your site up and running with a minimum of hassle.

How to do it:
Since this is an absolute beginner's guide, here's the breakdown on how to get started with these resources
(in other words, here's how to take the easy way):
Step 1: Sign up with Nasty Dollars to get your content, links, affiliations, etcetera.
Step 2: Purchase the Adult Webmaster Starter Kit
Step 3: When the "engineer" who is building your website contacts you, advise him or her that you want to
use your free Nasty Dollars content
Step 4: The web design engineer will assemble your website using your selected content, perform all the back-
office work, set up billing and customer accounting systems, set up hosting and contact you with the web
address to your brand new adult website.
Step 5: You're done. We're serious when we say that it's the easy way!

Congratulations on not taking the easy path!

The investment (time and otherwise) it takes to launch your adult website will greatly depend upon what type
of site you choose to launch. Regardless of what type of site you decide to operate, though, one thing is
constant: do not do anything before you read every piece of information you can find in every nook of the
Internet. Once you have read every piece of literature, every website, every e-zine and every forum you can
find, go back and read them again. The adult webmaster industry is littered with the remnants of half-hearted
attempts at adult sites launched without an extensive and intimate knowledge of every in-and-out of the
industry. Remember: when it comes to operating your adult site, you can NEVER know enough.

Obviously, a few paragraphs on the index page (if you don't know what an index page is, you may be
better off taking the easy way described above) of a free Internet resource is not going to be anywhere near
enough information to get you started. That's why this site includes a glossary of terms, defines the various
types of sites and gives you the basic resources you need to get your page under way. If you haven't already
done so, go ahead and bookmark this site, as you'll be referring back to it often.

Now, if you're absolutely sure you're dedicated enough to the adult webmaster business that you don't want
to take the easy way, go ahead and explore the site. Consider starting with the explanation of the types of
sites you can run; this explanation should give you a better feel for the various ways you can become an
adult webmaster.
