Poll: How Long Before Your First Sale?

[Squirt]

First day ~ 30 sales

First day ~ 30 sales

How do you promote that new site?

usually i post both free and avs sites on link lists, so the first sale usually comes within a day. Squirt, what kinda site are you referring to?

I remember launching my first traffic site a few years back and I had a couple sales on the first night.

I think that if you take a little time to figure out what to do before you start, you'll be pretty lucky pretty fast.

Thanks guys, I see your point. Someone who launches a site and does ZERO promotion or SEO will probably have much different results than someone who does a lot.

When I posted this poll I intended for it to relate to someone who just launched their first gay porn related website and did not do any paid promotion (which I think is what the majority of people do). They only did promo and SEO tricks that didn't cost anything (i.e.: working on keywords, metadata, SEO, link trades, etc.)

If that situation under those condidtions applied to you, how long did it take before you saw your first dollar?

(And I apologize, but in the title of this poll I used the word "sale" which probably relates more to an original content site. What I meant was for this poll to relate to affiliate sites where you promote others with original content, again, because I think that's how the majority of people get into this biz.)

What does first gay related porn site mean? Paysite? Blog? AEN site?

Your question is very vague. There are some tgpers that submit galleries and NEVER make sales as their template sucks. Others can create one today and make 5 sales within a few hours of submitting.

I wouldn't say that MOST use paid advertising.

I just installed WordPress on a hyphen .org domain two weeks ago. Wrote two posts and did nothing else. Already made 3 sales just from surfers searching my keywords.

Hard to say what you will get unless you give a little more info.

actually the answers you've already been given seem to still apply. avs sites, free sites, blogs, link lists and galleries are all methods that gay porn affiliates use to generate traffic to make sales.

it usually takes me a day to make a sale through those unpaid methods - sometimes a couple days, depending.
