Let's talk about website monetization and the rise of new sites, some advice from an old bird to newcomers.

Essential Weapons for Beginners:#

A Gmail account, for various contacts, registrations, and binding a GV number (US virtual number, Google Voice).

A GV number, can be purchased on Taobao, seafood markets, or TG.

A TG account, register directly with the GV number, try to avoid using +86 numbers, as they can be tracked both ways and are easier to monitor.

A low-end overseas server, used for setting up a proxy. If you're involved in gray market activities, it's necessary to have your own proxy for backup. A configuration with 512MB of memory and a certain amount of monthly traffic is sufficient; it's recommended to purchase during "Black Friday."

A cryptocurrency wallet, there are third-party wallets available on TG, depending on personal needs. If you have a large amount of funds, it's recommended to use 2-3 different wallets.

Step One: Hide Your Financial Chain#

Find someone to pay on your behalf, with a fee of about 8%-10%.
Use a proxy to recharge cryptocurrency to hide funds, with a fee of about 5%-8%. For example, if you pay them in RMB via Alipay, they will recharge USDT into your wallet.

Step Two: Purchase Domain and Server#

Domain Purchase#

Recommended https://www.namesilo.com/, register with an email, supports cryptocurrency payments.

Domain Registration#

If you're a beginner in SEO like me, try to avoid domains like buzz, icu, club, as they are slow to be indexed and rank low.

Server#

I won't recommend any specific provider (to avoid advertising suspicion), but try not to buy through a proxy. Avoid those that give you a server account without providing you with the IDC backend, as your server could be affected if the proxy runs away or gets caught.

For fast connection speeds in China, prioritize Hong Kong, then Singapore, Japan, and South Korea. However, Asian servers generally have low bandwidth and are expensive, and many restrict adult content, so pay special attention to this! Always check the IDC website's "acceptable use policy" or directly ask customer service if adult sites are allowed.

For high bandwidth and affordable servers, the US is the first choice; I personally recommend US servers as they offer more options.

For servers that can withstand complaints, the Netherlands is the first choice. If you build your own resources, you can use these, as Japanese AV often files complaints.

Many servers now accept cryptocurrency payments, so check the payment methods on the website before purchasing.

Step Three: Build the Website#

For beginners, I personally recommend creating two sites: one video site (9c) and one navigation site.

Due to layout limitations, a video site cannot host many ads. Today's users are picky; if your video site has dozens of ad banners popping up, unless your site is very attractive, users will close it immediately, leading to quick IP loss. I recommend placing ads for the navigation site and friendly links on the video site, with only a small amount of ads.

The navigation site is mainly used for exchanging friendly links and receiving some CPA/CPS monetization.

Both the video site and navigation site can include ad network codes. Unless you have a consistently large IP volume, ad networks will only provide you with basic income.

Step Four: Register for Ad Networks and CPA/CPS Products#

Ad Networks: By placing the network's code, anyone who visits your site will see ads, generally earning money through impressions and clicks. Try to find networks that can settle in cryptocurrency.

CPA: Earnings based on download volume. I give you a link, you click and download, and I earn money. This method is more common on live streaming platforms, and some players also choose this. The advantage of CPA is that money comes in quickly; as long as there's a download, you earn money fast! The downside is that many platforms will check backend data; if you have 100 downloads but no one recharges, the platform will suspect you of inflating numbers and may not settle. When doing CPA, choose reliable platforms or ask for prepayment, so even if they run away, your losses are limited. Some prefer to find secondary agents for channels; the benefit is that secondary agents will protect your interests, and the platform will settle with you. The downside is that agents may also run away after taking your commission... (these are lessons I learned the hard way).

CPS: Earnings based on recharge ratios. I give you a link, you download this app, recharge, or buy a membership, and I earn money. This method is widely used in players and VPN software, with profit-sharing ratios ranging from 25%-90%. CPS rarely runs away, but it does happen!!! It's important to clarify the settlement cycle and amount with new CPS partners; keep an eye on the first few transactions, withdraw when there's enough money, and after a while, you can gradually relax the settlement cycle.

Step Five: Increase Traffic for the New Site#

Once the website is built and the content is ready, you can go out and start your business! I'm a direct promotion expert (not familiar with SEO), and here are a few methods for increasing traffic:

Exchange friendly links, which is the simplest. Post on forums, find groups in TG for advertising, exchange video for navigation, and navigation for everything. The market for exchanging friendly links is currently poor; many people won't exchange just because you're a new site. Some claim to have tens of thousands of IPs and ask for prime positions on your site, then fleece you for a few days before running away. So be cautious when exchanging links, especially those that immediately ask for high IP counts; they can be blacklisted. Achieving tens of thousands of IPs is not something that can be done just by exchanging links.
Upload compressed packages to adult forums, leaving your website's contact information inside. I've mentioned this method before; it still works. You can find resources on TG, package them, upload to Baidu Cloud (just buy a small account), and share them on adult forums for download. This method works well in the long term, but not much in the short term.
Direct promotion in TG groups. The largest adult friend group is on TG, and there are countless adult groups on TG... Even so, many people still need online sites (this demand is based on monitoring). So you can find a number-receiving website, apply for a few TG accounts, and post ads in active groups. The ad formats can vary, such as video watermarks, avatars, signatures, etc. This method is very effective and quick, but it requires effort.
Direct promotion by creating TG groups, which involves buying group creation services. A TG group can hold 200,000 people, and generally, you don't need to worry too much about numbers; buying a group of 10,000 is enough initially. The benefit of group creation is that you can target specific groups for recruitment. Besides your website's ads, you can also post ads for CPA/CPS product downloads. If the group is active, you can even take on other ads. Another advantage of TG is that most users are VPN users, so even if your site gets blocked later, these people will still be your users, and you don't have to worry about losing them due to the block.
