How to choose the best product as an adult affiliate

This is the second part of the AWE Webmaster Tutorial that will provide details and advice on how to define goals and which product to choose accordingly. The first chapter introduced all the factors and resources recommended to start out as a webmaster.

First of all, if you are familiar with the area of expertise your site is based on, or even better, if your users are equally familiar with it, it will do your business a world of good, so in a sense it is a requirement for you to know the topics inside out you are going to deal with on a business level.

What is your Goal or Idea?

Making money is a nice goal that we all have, but to be successful with any website, you should focus on one specific idea. This idea defines which audience to target, what to publish, where to get content from, how to use our affiliate program, which niche to pick, etc.
The more specific your idea, the better your focus and the more revenue you will earn.
Bottom line: it's easier to start if you have an idea what the site is about and how to promote our products. If you don't yet have an idea to focus on, then maybe it helps if you first find a good niche.
You need an objective to focus on – if there is demand for the service or content, then there is a bigger chance there will be traffic on such a page.

Take these aspects into consideration:

• Whether your business model is going to stand the test of time
• How much the market is saturated with sites resembling yours in terms of niche, services, subject matter, name - so try and be as unique and yet as in demand as possible
• How many users you are expecting to be interested in your topic, niche, services - how many people you will be able to reach
• Micro niches convert better but you may have a smaller audience and you will need to check out competitive sites. Doing a research regarding microniches before launching your site will help you reach a wider audience.
• You will need to decide if you would like to have your users interact with each other (creating profiles, adding comments). Pros and cons both apply: you need to do extra admin tasks but you will have a valuable e-mail database to be used for marketing purposes, and to achieve a better user engagement and retention.
• Providing and managing content: you get or create your own content or your users upload their content (this option also requires that you take the admin role)

According to your choices you can decide if your resources best suit a blog, a tube site, or (with sufficient financial background) a membership site. The blog is the simplest option which still needs dedicated time and efforts but will reward you with unique content that is both beneficial for your users and for Google as well.

Once you have your main idea and niche, think about the products you're going to offer.

Which product will you promote: your own white label or a LiveJasmin brand?

This decision actually relies on the niche of your choice.

• If you have a general straight adult site, you should promote LiveJasminor one of our sister sites: Liveprivates.com, MyCams.com, Joyourself.com or LSAwards.com.
• If you want to explore a niche, choose one of our brand sites to serve your demands: Cameraboys (gay), Mytrannycams (tranny), Maturescam(mature), Livesexasian (Asian).
• If you pick a specific niche that you cannot find among our brand sites, create your own Whitelabel that allows you to exploit one unique category (already listed on LiveJasmin), or you assort the performers according to an even narrower niche - or you can do both: get performers from a predefined category and add one custom, featured category of your own as well.

When should I promote my own white label or the main brands?

1. You should promote Whitelabels if...
   • You have your own brand(s) or you want to build your own.
   • Your site features a specific niche or category.
   • You want to use your own logo and color scheme already known by your users. In the case of whitelabels you can apply a layout to resemble your own site and your brand to retain consumer trust.
   • You would like to rephrase parts of the site to match your own and your audience's demands.
   • You want to use the Blog function to provide more of your own relevant and unique content for your members.
2. You should promote our own brands if...
   • If you have a review site or a site without a defined niche, the best choice is if you promote our brands.
     In this case you have different options:
     • the most well-known site: LiveJasmin
     • less saturated: MyCams, Liveprivates, Livesexawards
   • The most important benefit of promoting our own brands is that they are well-known and have a strong brand power.
   • This creates consumer trust and persuades the members to purchase in a more targeted manner.
   • Your users most probably have already been interested in LiveJasmin, or our other bigger brands, cam review sites or model selection sites.
