how would u embed the videos? third party? SEO? backlinks?
 
The idea makes sense, but the tricky part will definitely be pulling movies through an API. Most sources either have strict limits or get taken down fast due to copyright. Also, with too many banners or pop ups, users tend to bounce quickly. Maybe the most reliable revenue stream for you could be affiliate offers like VPNs or antivirus. Curious if anyone here has tried something similar before.

My second idea was being the provider of content ie. (movies and tv shows etc) and having ads that I get paid my ppc or ppv and allowing others to use it for their own movie website.

About the vpn you mean creating my own vpn app like nordvpn and others ? what are the numbers on that.
 
i run vidrsc.cx i host all the content and not scrapping from others ive been running sites for about 3 years now we used to be under vidsrc,nl (GOD DAM NETHERLANDS GOV TAKING MY DOMAIN) there is still money in it but not as much as there used to be you also adblock is a big issue you can have a million monthly visitors and still only make a few hundered dollors

Found some dedicated storage servers that ignores DMCA's and used by IPTV providers but there problem is the offer limited storage (20-30TB) where if I self-hosted I would be able to expand way beyond that will cutting monthly costs, but my only issue is being discreet so I currently have no idea where to begin.

Have you found a way to be completely discreet and anonymous now?

could you share so tips on how to run the backend part ?
 
Not worth it at all. So much time and money needed and once it gets going good boom google dmca complaints ect. All your organic traffic gone. An they can seize your domain if they want. Focus on creating a real site thats legal. Ive gone down this same path with movies and XXX sites. Ads dont even pay shit anymore now a days. Both niches seem dead unless your doing 10m plus unique visiotrs a month or something like that.

Ads pay shit nowadays, I do consider ads the last monetization method
 
I tried and succeeded in making a movie download site a while back and never made a coin from it. Some things i learnt and therefore you have to consider include:

  1. bullet proof hosting: enough said. Normal hosting providers would delete my site, write me strongly worded emails and at times ban my account.
  2. the law in your country and at times beyond: (read about kim dotcom)
  3. traffic levels: i found out that such sites need massive amounts of traffic to make any decent income. This means that you have to find out how creatively market since main stream channels wont work for you.
  4. huge catalog: you have to offer something that established players don't already have
  5. storage: you can either choose to store all the games on your servers or use a third party. This presents a challenge in of itself.
and on and on...

The reason why i was tempted to make such a site was credible reports of people making hundreds to thousands of euros per day for essentially no work done but after looking down that abyss and having it stare back, i decided that my efforts could be better utilized elsewhere.

If you are set on this path, take some time to reconsider your life choices. Otherwise good luck and Godspeed
 
Good luck on your journey buddy! Movie Streaming niche has huge traffic in the winter so you will print most likely!

what exactly would you like to know? Tech details, marketing strategy? It was like 2 years ago and I have since moved on to other things.

I was interested in the back end like I have some sites that are exactly like what I was looking for, im trying to replicate them as an MVP. The marketing aspect is best saved for later after having an MVP ready.
