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!

How to Create Clips Fans Come Back To

Let’s be real for a second: the independent porn industry is getting tougher to succeed in, largely because of what many people call “brain rot.” Fans have shorter attention spans thanks to endless scrolling on short-form media apps, and if your clips don’t stand out amid the flood of free content online, it can be difficult to convey their value to viewers.

Building a Queer Audience Across Multiple Platforms

Building a queer audience online can be like trying to flirt at a party where half the people pretend you don’t exist, and the other half want you to leave. On some platforms, the word “gay” alone can tank visibility. On others, showing too much skin, using the wrong hashtag or linking too directly to adult content can quietly bury your posts before anyone sees them.
