Building a community for no reason - or am I?

[naughtynewell]

Hey gang,

Welcome to ANOTHER of my journeys. I've posted so many of these damn things, and this one is probably going to be no different.

The basic premise of this one, and I'm going to be totally transparent is to make a subreddit community for people that like BBW. I'm a fan of BBW so this is less of a job and more of a vocation for me. I'm not monetising anything yet, and don't know if I ever will. I just want to have a little success doing something.

My flow of content is like so:

Download a set of gifs / webms / images from a reputable image board website that isn't called 3chan or 5chan, but somewhere in between.

Upload these images to gfycat.

Post links to these uploaded images to my subreddit.

I've written a script to automate the first part. I'll hopefully be able to write a second script which will handle the second part, I'm not sure I want to automate the posting to reddit as I want to make good titles for the different videos that I find.

My goals:

- 100 Subs to my subreddit
- ~10 Posts a week for a few weeks to keep people interested / coming to the subreddit.
- Create a cache of images that I am going to be able to upload to gfycat / imgur / wherever else you're allowed to upload NSFW images.

As of right now my subreddit has 0 posts and 1 sub (me).

I've left it on private for now as I don't need it to be live until I have some content. Which I'll hopefully be starting tonight.

If you're super interested, then the subreddit is /r/bbwamateurs

I'm totally OK with you visiting, stealing ideas or whatever. I'm not that worried about competition at this stage.

Cheers.

Good luck

Thanks!

I've just created a script to upload an image to imgur, which is nice. Will probably do the same for gfycat.

I will be following this one.

For total clarity - here is the python class that I built for downloading images.

https://pastebin.com/LMYrKWdw

To use it:

from iv_chan import ChanAPI
gif_board = boards.get_board('gif')

for thread in gif_board:
    thread.download()

This will download all of the threads on the /gif board of IV chan.

There is also a keyword function for boards:

from iv_chan import ChanAPI
gif_board = boards.get_board('gif')

bbw_threads = gif_board.keyword('bbw')

for thread in bbw_threads:
    thread.download()

This will search all the threads in the gif board for the keyword of BBW in the OP title, or the OP comment.

Damn! A topic with BBWs and Python.

You just have made my night. I'm learning Python, so the code will be handy.

Following looks interesting.

I don't really understand much of what you are doing, but good luck anyways!

How are you going to monetize it?

I know a grayhat trick to gain mass subscribers (1k) per day but still no success to monetize it.

I'm SUPER interested in that. I'm planning on getting a BBW offer as the pinned message, but I'm not really keen on getting 1000 subs a day until I have some content to keep them around, if you know what I mean.

I need to grab a HUGE amount of images and vids for it to be an effective monetization method.
