Hey man will your site have some kind of referral program? I was into the adult affilate marketing thing for a while and got bored with it.  I will get back into it if there is some incentive to promote.  Just wondering.  (sorry if its been covered already, haven't gone through the whole thread)

I am loving these ideas, keep em coming guys.

And MarkM, traffic will come don't worry about that. This site will be fully SEO'D and heavily marketed under several different social mediums. I have made sites rank before, and I am wholly confident that I can do it again.

lol @ MarkM's post.  Classic Porn SEO.  No doubt is an old school Black Hat World person    The old ways do not work, and I'm sure you are happier they do not.   You are the first authentic post in this thread I would call as someone working in the industry as successful.

Conversions is the name of the game now and I think it just makes for better content for everybody

Even better, I think:

I deposit at least 2 BTC on the site. I select 20 (currently idle) models that I would pay 0.5 BTC to see perform. Once ten customers like me have put a 2 BTC deposit on the same individual model, the model does a group performance which only these paying customers can view. During the performance, the model offers 'upgrades' with set fees. I can click on an upgrade and contribute towards its fee. If an upgrade is fully paid, we get it and pay for it. If it's not fully paid, we get our BTC back. Each upgrade comes up as an offer and then expires (so we can put those same funds towards another one if we want to). If the model is smart, she'll start doing something really interesting right as time is running out -- extending is an upgrade. The ten customers then get back any unpaid funds (or can use them towards another show).

Thank you kindly, sir. Good luck on your project.

Wyldesites is still around eh, cool.

I bought my country house with adult site revenue, Adult Knotwork was just the tip of the iceberg, I created hundreds of thousands of adult sites, it is amazing how many sites a script can concoct out of a few thousand folders of image-sets.

By the turn of the millenium though Excite had been bought by the adult industry and turned into Overture, millions of dollars more a year budgetted for buying up any other search engines that were for sale, and pay per click was well on its way to being adopted even by mainstream giants like Google.

Jessy, the decade you mention was after the dot com crash, traffic was less and less free, I made my bundle when traffic was free and easy. Nowadays MSN and Yahoo no longer think the best content they have ever seen is their own results.

Is traffic king and content queen or traffic queen and content king? For me it was all about traffic, any crap could make money back in the day if you threw enough (unique) hits per hour at it.

I have been perusing this entire thread, so far the original poster said (in effect at least) that he will bring the traffic, then later oops he seems to be suggesting it is actually everyone else who will be doing that, but with his expert supervision of course.

The twitter forum happens to be coming soon currently, so I have not had that awesome site to look at to impress me.

Okay, read to the end now. Still confused as to who is going to bring the traffic, how much traffic they are going to bring, and where from.

I haven't followed twitter, does creating a few hundred thousand adult-oriented twitter accounts/friends work or is twitter a bit on the prude side?

Why don't you advertise for a desinger here: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?board=52.0 ?

I think we will have both, I have to talk to the team first but I don't see why you're idea isn't doable. We want to make the coolest experience for users/models to interact in ways they never thought imaginable. If you have a killer idea and you don't want to share with the public (if its good enough) I am willing to give you a share. Our goal is perfection. We are in the final stages of choosing a designer. I must admit that we are behind on schedule because of the recent hacking of TweetForum . My team is donating their time to help me recover/secure what has been destroyed by the pettiness of a few clowns. However, not to worry, TweetForum will be back with even MORE features, and better design, and all the content/posts will be right back. We haven't lost ANYTHING in this hacking, just time..

EDIT:The team will be announced to the public as soon as we have a designer, tweetforum is back up, and we are public on https://glbse.com/.

Not that this is on-topic or anything, but yeah its self-signed.

Is anyone else getting a "The site's security certificate is not trusted!" from GLBSE, using Chrome?

The environment you are talking about is sort of like an online strip club with tips. Many people (maybe the majority) like that environment. For me, egging on Mr. Big Bucks is a turn-off. Why not offer both types of services? If you offer services people haven't seen before, it could give your site a unique appeal.

Niceee really nice. But can't we just do this right from within the chat? I think that would be even more exciting, all the guys root Mr. Big Bucks on to tip the model so she shows more.

Maybe this will help:

I deposit 0.5 BTC on the site. I select 20 (currently idle) models that I would pay 0.5 BTC to see perform. Once ten customers like me have put a 0.5 BTC deposit on the same individual model, the model does a group performance which only these paying customers can view. The ten customers pay out 0.5 BTC * 10 for a total of 5 BTC going to the model/middleman. The customers' 'bids' on other models are withdrawn. Bids/pledges/(whatever you want to call them) should be standardized (e.g. all set to 0.5 BTC) for this system to work well.

Since I don't want to risk losing my 0.5 BTC without getting a show, the 0.5 BTC are returned to me once I have waited for 30 minutes and no show has happened.

Ohh so basically it's a group view? That is a good IDEA and is something that I was planning on integrating. Now, do you basically want it to be where people bid for tips? Or how exactly do you want to structure this.

It is just a system which allows models to sell group shows to customers rather than individual shows.

Maybe someone else can help explain what I mean?  I appear to be having trouble here.

This sounds complicated. Are you talking about sorta like a bidding system for models? I really don't think they would like that lol. But it would be interesting, correct me if I am wrong but that's basically what you mean right?

Consider offering a pledge feature (this is a kind of assurance contract).

Customer deposits X BTC on site. Customer puts several X BTC pledges towards models he would like to see perform.  Pledges not fulfilled within 30 minutes are cancelled and the BTC are returned to the customers account.
 
Model offers performance for a minimum nX BTC, with minimum pledge of X. Let the models pick n, but not X [or maybe restrict choice of X to a few numbers]. If model receives n pledges, then a show begins for the pledging customers. As soon as the show begins, pledging customers other outstanding pledges are cancelled. Customers can join a show in progress by adding another increment X to the pot.

Yes we will be paying a BTC lawyer, Adult ENT Lawyer, and regular counsel to make sure we are in compliance with all American laws in regards to a webcam sex site. Which will probably mean some type of third-party international verification for all performers. People who can't be verified can't work. Customers will always be anonymous.

Well this is the best thread I've read in like a week.

I do give Jesse credit for bothering to give you any advice after your response to her first post. I too, am excited to see the progress in this area.

Also, you forgot a share for legal counsel. You aren't going to try to run a business without a lawyer are you?

You shouldn't be running a web design business without a lawyer

much less a cam site

Veg, 

 Think of all the motivation you're getting from wanting to prove the doubters wrong. You should be welcoming those you see as trolls, and seeing the criticism for what it is: the wind beneath your wings.

 Have you considered using bitcoin transactions to enforce your contracts? If you did the rest of us could short your business, and then everyone will be happy.

FWIW, I always thought facebook was a bad idea and still don't think it's going to catch on.
