[Journey] Scaling Adult Tube to 100k page views per day

looks very promising journey, is your niche is based on any country ?
 
Question 1
Currently, my process involves downloading videos and then uploading them onto video hosting platforms. I do this because it allows me to generate some revenue from those platforms. Since my intended audience primarily consists of Tier 3 (Asian) viewers, I find that I earn considerably less from Exoclick or Pop ads in comparison to the revenue I generate from video hosting platforms. While I do have the option to utilize the wp-script mass embedder plugin, I have made the decision not to use it because my main source of income is derived from video hosting platforms.

However, only after your comment, I discovered that it is possible to cloak the URLs of original videos and embed them on our website. I was not previously aware of this method, but I am now intrigued by the idea. It would be incredibly helpful if you could provide me with some guidance on how to cloak the URL.

Question 2

Since my current process includes uploading the videos to a video hosting platform, I am currently doing this process manually. Most of the time, I do remotely upload videos from videos, pornhub to my video hosting platform.

We formerly did this on some of our websites by using .htaccess rewrite or by using the mod_rewrite module in Apache.

1. Here is how it works with .htaccess
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4741033/mod-rewrite-with-in-the-original-url-like-youtubeYou can just put an .htaccess file in some folder of your webspace and rewrite the original embed code to point to it.
For example:
original.com/videoid=1223
yourdomain.com/yourfolder/videoid=1223

I guess wp-script doesn't have a function to rewrite URLs in embed codes automatically. For this task you should hack the wp-script mass embedder and rewrite it automatically by detecting the domain where the .htaccess is installed with $_GET or any other PHP method you prefer.

Next problem with wp-script is that it I think that it doesn't automatically rewrite titles and descriptions or tags as far as I know. This could also be done by hacking the mass embedder or by coding an extra wordpress plugin which does the job. I would recommend an extra plugin because you get cleaner code if you do it in a separate plugin and you are more flexible.

I saw that wp-script only embeds 60 videos at once and you have to start it manually by clicking the import button. Is that right? If yes, I would write a small script, that calls the function that is called by clicking the import button and just use a cronjob to call it automatically every X minutes. In this script you could randomize the number of videos to let your tube look more natural (like real users uploading videos).

2. Here is an explanation of the Apache mod_rewrite Module
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.htmlEverything else works like in method 1.

You can choose one of the methods you prefer. The first one should work everywhere (at least on a VPS) for the second one you need a dedicated server. If you need more instructions feel free to ask or send me a PM.



I know that a huge part of your income comes from doodstream but I wouldn't care about the 90$ and instead take 50$ on a larger scale on autopilot. For making more money I would recommend a few extra things you maybe haven't thought about so far:

1. Don't only use PPC-Ads. Also take some recurring-membership ads into your mix. These customers usually stay for 3-6 months but some whales stay for years. This will give you a stable income stream even if your method won't work anymore someday. Keep in mind that the typical membership conversion for adult content is about 1:3.000 up to 1:5.000 vistors. But you will earn 15$-25$ per customer per month.

2. Think about launching your own cam-website. Many well known websites offer an API. They usually pay 30% for affiliates but if you build your own (with their cams) you will get around 60%. If you are happy with 30% (which is absolutely fine too), then use a white lable solution and integrate it into your tube.





For your doodstream I would use nodeJS if I were you and automize the process of downloading and uploading. Are you a coder too?

Do you know if there already is an rewrite module for the video titles and descriptions included in wp-scripts? Or do you rewrite everything manually?

What I don't understand is why you use wp-scripts if you still download and upload manually. Can you explain it? Is it just because of the tube templates and the ads integration?

Thanks a ton for sharing the steps ... you are adding a great value to this journey.

Q. Don't only use PPC-Ads. Also take some recurring-membership ads into your mix. These customers usually stay for 3-6 months but some whales stay for years. This will give you a stable income stream even if your method won't work anymore someday. Keep in mind that the typical membership conversion for adult content is about 1:3.000 up to 1:5.000 vistors. But you will earn 15$-25$ per customer per month.

Yes, without a doubt. When compared to Popup and Doodstream, PPC (Pay-Per-Click) is significantly less lucrative. To promote their links, I've registered for Stripcash, a program offered by Stripchat."

Q. Think about launching your own cam website. Many well-known websites offer an API. They usually pay 30% for affiliates but if you build your own (with their cams) you will get around 60%. If you are happy with 30% (which is absolutely fine too), then use a white label solution and integrate it into your tube.

I am currently halfway through the implementation of this step. The work is in progress as I create a Whitelabel cam site for Stripcash and plan to promote it using my tube site


Q. For your doodstream I would use nodeJS if I were you and automize the process of downloading and uploading. Are you a coder too?
I may not be a professional coder, but I began my career in coding. With the assistance of Copilot, I believe I can successfully execute this task. In fact, I utilize remote uploading to directly import videos from Xvideos and Pornhub to Doodstream

Q. Do you know if there already is a rewrite module for the video titles and descriptions included in wp-scripts? Or do you rewrite everything manually?
To the best of my knowledge, Wo-scripts does not offer a rewrite module. However, I have developed a semi-automatic method to rewrite titles using Google Sheet operations.

Q. What I don't understand is why you use wp-scripts if you still download and upload manually. Can you explain it? Is it just because of the tube templates and the ads integration?

I do not rely on wp-scripts for video imports.
 
You should really look into self hosted push notifications solution. You've got the traffic, just capture the subscribers and push some ads to them.
If you are not comfortable with setting up cpa campaigns yourself look for someone who's already working with adult push campaigns and do a JV.
Good luck!
@mindeswx ... Thank you... Recently, I have implemented this method, my friend. I deeply regret not taking action when you initially suggested it.
Just yesterday, I integrated OneSignal into my system, and within a single day, I gained approximately 95 subscribers. This outcome surpassed all of my expectations.

How much are you spending on hosting etc at the moment?
 
When a DMCA file happens, google will remove that video link from the search ... I counter-file the submission and get the link back in Google search ... I do not remove any video.

:) now I believe you are from Vietnam.

anyway, great success and in a very very short time. impressive! .. you might wish to start looking into kvs and their ultimate licenses > gold standard

a mature kvs tube gets around 1.2-1.4 mil visitors day. .. though it takes years to build up one

Haha lol ;)

Oh, that's a piece of new information for me, could you share more details on KVS?

that's correct.
 
I remember when I used to do this with Openload and then they closed and all my videos were lost.. any plans of hosting your own videos on a VPS or something? and if so, which one will you be using.. also I was wondering since you are using Doodstream, why are you using the Video player from WP-Script and not just embeding the videos using the embed code that doodstream would offer.

I am asking as am contemplating the idea of starting one myself. Best of luck to you OP.

Video tube site is not for VPSs.. forget about this

reason:
limited disk space
limited bandwidth
low ram will also be an issue with wp solutions > kvs is a different story
on lower price > the uplink will be 100-200mbps (you want to have a 1 Gbps line)

.. vps pricing doesn't make sense as you will want to grow it as big as possible.

answer: dedicated servers.
can you set a dedicated server and maintain it yourself? > prices will not be too high
can't set up a server your self > you will need a hosting company and the prices will be higher

I have a question about your doodstream integration on your website. Does Google see that your videos are hosted at doodstream?
FreakenSEOsmh mentioned, that you are using the wp-script player does it somehow hide the url? Or which advantage do you get from how you do it?
