First of all this guide is about making real money, not about making beer money or making a few bucks a week. Sure anyone can join a cam site affiliate program like Chaturbate, grab their affiliate link and spam that all over the web, on Twitter and Reddit. Some may even make a Chaturbate whitelabel and use that URL or add the URL to videos they download and re-upload on porn sites. This guide is about making real money instead and the best way to make real money with live cams is through SEO traffic!!!
SEO traffic is traffic from Google. To do this we need a quality product and also backlinks. For our example we will use the website xrateduniversity.com. This is a webcam aggregator site that shows lots of different websites cams on the one site. It was built using Roboscripts but they are now out of business. If you want to do similar you can use one of these other live webcam aggregator options. All you need to do is to purchase one of those options, set up your site and join a heap of webcam affiliate programs to use your affiliate codes on your site.
How Much Does A Live Webcams Site Cost?
There are a few costs involved and you must be happy with investing some money into this. If you are not then you are wasting your time. The costs will be a domain and hosting (we recommend Mojohost), your chosen aggregator (priced from $80 up to $1k or more). Then comes the biggest cost of all, links!
How To Get Traffic To Your Live Cams Site?
The next step is to get traffic to your site. You want tier 1 (US, UK etc) traffic to your site as this will convert the best. How to get the traffic?
Start by building your live cam site’s social profile. Set up profiles on Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, Facebook and anywhere else you can. You can then use software to auto-populate these, post to them manually or outsource each by paying someone to run each social profile.
The next step is purchasing backlinks. To work out what links to purchase or obtain we recommend starting out with getting listed on as many porn link list sites as you can. Most will want a payment unless you have some sort of other bargaining means. This could be your own porn site that you add a link to them on for example. If not, payment it is.
Once you have obtained as much of that low hanging fruit links as you can then you need to start going through all the top live cam websites to try and obtain their link profiles.
This is easy to do and free. Just use Ahrefs from backlink checker. Just put the domain of one of the top live cam sites in the enter domain or URL box and click “check backlinks”. Make sure the domain is the top domain for example xrateduniversity.com and not a subpage like xrateduniversity.com/pics.
From there you need to work down the list of backlinks each site has and try obtain a link from each of these sites to your own live cams site.
Using Pictures or Videos To Bring In Traffic
Another way we bring traffic into xrateduniversity.com is by using porn pictures. Each of these images has the ability to rank in Google and help bring in more traffic to us. They can also be shared online which helps with traffic. You can do the same with pictures, videos or something else. Be creative and also see what other top sites are doing.
Blog Posts
While going through the Ahrefs backlinks reports you may see many websites have blog article links. You can contact each site owner and ask if you can write a blog article for them, either mention what you want to write about or even just provide them with a complete blog post ready for them to upload. Again they most likely will ask you for some form of payment.
We also have a blog on xrateduniversity.com to post various articles and lists to in order to bring more traffic into the site. Once your site gets some authority and traffic then you may be able to trade blog posts with other webmasters too as a form of currency.
See What Search Terms Each Cam Site Ranks For
Another way to bring traffic is to try and rank for the terms that other live cam sites are ranking for. Sure you probably won’t rank for “live sex cams” for a long time but you will see many sites rank for other terms. Often these are just the cam models name. To see the top keywords each of your competitors ranks for for free just go to similarweb.com and enter their domain in “analyze any website or app”, let the drop down box load and click on the URL under websites. Then just scroll down to the top keywords by traffic share section.
You will also see similar sites just above the keywords section. You can analyze each of the sites to see if they can provide you with any more keyword ideas.
Pay Others To Bring You Traffic
Another way we get traffic to xrateduniversity.com is by paying people to promote the website. You can find people online anywhere (Twitter, Reddit, affiliate forums), just offer them money, say for example pay a certain amount per 1k traffic they bring you. Make sure you are always checking the quality of the traffic they bring in. If the traffic has an extremely high bounce rate or is not tier 1 then end your affiliate/partner relationship with them.
