12 Tips for Paysite Tour Design

I found these brief notes on paysite tour design while going through one of my digital “scrap boxes” and thought I would share them with you.

I might have taken these notes at one online adult industry design seminar or another – but it was at least several years ago; and I can’t tell you where or when it was or who was speaking… Of course, I might have written them myself; since much of this is what I’ve always done – except being a control freak, I tend to specify font size rather than leave it up to a literal “+1” sizing. Who knows? Just enjoy these tips for what they’re worth:

  • Have one goal per page: to keep users clicking through to the “join” page.

  • Ask for the sale over and over again.

  • Your “next page” and “click here to join” buttons should be beveled graphics.

  • Use MouseOvers to show action.

  • Use “next” buttons on the top and bottom right of each tour page.

  • Have at least one “join” button per page and make sure it stands out.

  • Put text on left, pics on right.

  • Start each page with font size="+1" text.

  • Make sales text catchy and use it to highlight tour pics.

  • Use good pics with the eyes looking at you and keep graphics to a minimum.

  • Make “join” pages simple and to the point; with beveled or radio buttons for links.

  • Provide a brief overview of the pics, videos, special features and bonus materials.

I have some code and a few other goodies in my files that I think some of you would be interested in, so stay tuned for more!

Why E-Payment Diversification Matters for Merchant Stability

Match payment methods to your customers. Look at where your customers are located, how they prefer to pay and which products they purchase. A business with significant European traffic may benefit from SEPA or Pay by Bank, while a subscription-based business may prioritize ACH or cryptocurrency. Add the payment methods your customers are most likely to use, as not every option is available.

Why Strong Kink Sales Start With Education and Support

This topic might make some people uncomfortable: the kink industry has a predator problem, and it is not the one most people assume. It is not creeping in the shadows of underground dungeons or sketchy playrooms, but instead is out in the open, on your timeline, in your inbox, and within platforms and brands that have figured out that the BDSM aesthetics and lifestyle sell really well. The issue is that there is no education that follows it.
