Good morning all,
today we are going to deal with some practical things instead of the fun of draining and training. Yes that is all part of it to me.
No matter how wonderful you may be or your Lady may be, if nobody knows she is there it won't do a lick of good. So in order for new seekers to find her, she needs her own online presence.
Joining financial domination forums is a wonderful idea, but it still keeps you limited to only profile pages. Which means you are not going to be able to be your own boss on most of them. Due to federal regulations the Owners of those forum has to limit you to certain things. For example you can not post any photos of yourself topless or nude without having to comply with 2257 Laws. Which means the Owners of the Forums would be required by law to ask you to fill out and submit a Model Release from and a copy of your ID in order to be allowed to host those photos. Nobody wants to have to put up with that sort of hassle.
If you do want to join a financial domination forum, I advise you to research them a little first. You want to make certain they are reputable and are in good standing. Ask around, see what is being said about them. How long do they stay around or are they here today and gone tomorrow.
Are they free to join, or do you have to pay a minimum membership fee to be active. Each has its own benefit.
I own and operate http://www.financialdominationworld.com which is not going to have a huge Membership count for the fact that I charge a small monthly fee which gives you blogging rights, forum use, chat room and your profile etc with no limitations on advertising your own stores, websites etc. There are no seperate levels of membership there, they are all equal. But still since most folks don't want to pay, the numbers will remain small.
There a couple free-to-join forums I personally belong to which may be of benefit to you as well, but since I can not post the links without the site owners permission I won't add them here.
So you have a profile on a forum and that is great, because now you get seen by the boys on the community sites, but it won't help you to be seen by those who don't belong there.
You need to set up your own website to reach a larger audience of potential seekers. Boys creating a "worship site" for your Lady with her permission of course, is a great way of helping her as well. Afterall you want her to have as many good boys serving her as possible right?
The first thing you need to do is find a good and reliable Domain Registrant that doesn't rip you off and a reliable Host which allows adult content. A lot of them don't!
After trying out a lot of them I have found only one that suits my needs perfectly. I register my Domains with them, host my sites with them and they have NEVER crashed on me. No outages or down time. Their price is more then reasonable and you can host as many domains on one hosting package as you have purchased space.
I have used Godaddy.com for the last 6 years now, for both my adult and non-adult ventures and as I said I have never had a problem with them. The wonderful thing is that you can also get a free wordpress blog attached to your domain with them. Since you are hosting via Godaddy you don't have the adult hinderances on wordpress. A wonderful solution.
They are currently running a special again so I am adding the link here for you to take advantage of it. 20% off Hosting at GoDaddy.com – World's largest Web host!
If you are going to sign up with them, please use that link and give me the credit for it as a thank you.
Now you have the perfect hosting company and domain registrant in them. Time to think of a Domain name!
Since you want your name to rise in the Google ranking you need to be smart. Think of keywords which may be looked up. Try to incorperate at least one keyword in the domain name. That will take a little work on your part, but trust me it is worth it.
Try to keep your Domain name simple and relatively short. Make it count!
Another tip, if you purchase the Hosting via Godaddy and purchase the Domain with them as well, you get the Domain registration for the first year for $1.99 instead of the regular fee. So it is definately worth it. Make sure you do it all at the same time.
If you want to build a Membership Site you need to have a CGI bin available, if not you can use the economy hosting. I use the next one up from there and it works like a charm.
I only pay $6.99 a month for my hosting package, which is dirt cheap.
Now think design! NO matter if you design your own Websites like I do or hire someone, you need to know what you want to do with it and how you want it to look.
I keep mine really simple, no big flash and whistles since it only slows the upload time down. Remember that boys are impatient to get at your content, so the more you slow the loading time down the less they are even going to stick around to see it.
Add QUALITY Photos, stay as far away from grappy webcam screen shots as possible. If you can produce a good screen shot that is clean and crips by all means use it. But if it is grainy and barely visible don't!
Let me give you some examples of my different websites:
My variety fetish membership site is a quick loading index page, but the entrance gets a little slower because of the many preview clips I have on there.
http://www.GoddessBellaDonna.com
My financial fuckery site which I share with a couple of Ladies is an extremely quick loading and simple site:
http://www.paymepiggy.com
My financial domination for seekers site is quick loading but very detailed and wordy.
http://www.moneypigswanted.com
As you can see each has its very own layout style.
I personally use Dreamweaver MX for design which is easy to learn and Adobe Photoshop for my Images.
Your Index page should look neat and not gluttered up, make it attractive without being over the top. I know great looking professional sites are wonderful, but I am not a big studio. I am just me, a one woman ruled empire! So I keep my designs simple and rather concentrate on the content.
Use keywords but don't spam them.
Give each Page a title, that shows up in the search engines as well.
You are building and adult site, so you need to make sure you have adult content warning and you need to make it clear that by entering they agree to your TOS.
If you plan on having ANY Photos or clips with even partial nudity on them, be it yours or your subs, you need to add a 2257 compliants statement on the index page. Make sure that you keep all your records in order!
Protect your content and add a copyright notice to the index page as well as to each of your images (watermark them) and your clips.
Take a notebook and figure out what all you want to add as content. The more you plan ahead and organize things, the easier it will be for you to update and maintain.
Create your own style as closely fitting your personality as possible. Think of your website as your home on the internet. It should represent who you are!
Make the colorschemes easy on the eye and the texts easy to read.
For a financial domination website I would suggest you add at minimum:
- About you (tell them a little about yourself and your experience level)
- Your Blog link (remember you can sign up for a free blog with your hosting package)
- Your Rules
- Any links to clips4sale, NF, Talksugar or whatever you may have
- Any open Positions
- A small Gallery
- Tribute opportunities
- Contact Information
Those should be the minimum you have represented.
Keep navigation as simple as possible and think "retard" when you set it up. Trust me you have to tell some people that they have to "click here" to be taken to the next page!
Keep the layout uniform. Meaning don't suddenly start switching colors etc in the in between.
I redesign my websites slightly every other 3 months or so, because it actually keep the spiders happy. Meaning the Search Engine Spiders.
Banners! Create a Banner or more.
For adding your website to different 100 top lists etc you want a banner. The regular (standard) banner size is 468 px X 60 px.
Again make it your own.
Update your blog regularily, at least 3 Times a week and hook it into your Twitter account and any other adult content approved social networking you have.
Keep your expectations realistic! A new website takes about 6 to 8 Weeks to be picked up by major search engines and depending on how good of a job you have done, that is where they will be placed in the pages. A listing in page 20 is seldom going to be seen.
YES you need to actually add your URL to different search engines. I am not going to lie to you, building and marketing your website is very time consuming at first. YOu really need to put some work in, but it is worth it in the end.
You can not be lazy for this. Spend your 30 hours to get started and don't complain about it.
Add content to your website regularily, change it around a little and be creative without being gitschy.
Make strong statements and keep the Rules clear. It doesn't matter if the boys agree with them or not, some will and some won't.
But those who won't are not the ones you want anyways.
For example! My Pro-Domination Website is http://www.prodommeinlasvegas.com
I will lose clients because I am making very clear what I won't do! But those are the clients I would have lost anyways! This way I already sorted them before they ever get started talking to me.
If you have more then one website like me interlink them as much as possible. Categories your blogs. If you can't figure out what belongs where so won't anyone else.
IN your design work set up folders and put the right content where it belongs. Think ahead, be organized, be clean and crisp in your design work.
Once it is set up and public ask several different people from differnent locations to look at your site for you. This way you can find out if you have any broken links, if it shows up ok. Ask for feedback! Don't get mad if they don't like what they see. They may give you good input or they may just not like it because it doesn't suit them. Shift through the feedback carefully and fix what is broken. Don't change things if it is just a personal preference.
If you hire someone to create your website for you, work with them closely and PLEASE have an idea of what you want. Don't keep changing your mind mindstream. I have build sites for other Ladies before and they kept changing their mind, or didn't know what they wanted. I ended up telling them to forget about it, because I really don't have the time to waste.
YES I charge for website designing and Banner creations. I won't do it for free and I will only do basic designs as you see on mine. But they are never the less effective.
I suggest not to depend on a sub to create your personal site for you if he doesn't have the experience or is not trust worthy. A "tribute site" can be done by him and for you on his dime and time. YOURS needs to be done right and quickly. Not whenever he gets around to it.
HAVE the content ready when you start out. You can add more as time goes by and you should, but never leave pages that are hooked in blank.
That looks unfinished and will not reflect well on you. If a page is not done yet, just don't link it or have the click here for it until you are ready.
Ok that was a basic information set up. You want more help or mentoring you can email me at: GoddessBellaDonna@cox.net. But please remember my time is not free for this. I will charge you a reasonable fee for working with you.
For now, best of luck
As always
Goddess Bella Donna
