4 companies come together to launch SupportThePerfomer limited time discount bundle

[NatalieP]

Recently I have been getting a ton of requests form performers about setups available to them in hosting websites - some for small blogs but most are interested in more robust websites that would be making money. So, the thinking was done and contacts rustled, then Sarah (ZuzanaDesign) and I found options and opportunities… and this promo was born. For all of those who are interested in creating websites to sell Video on Demand and/or Memberships - a joint effort of 4 companies makes it easier AND saves you a ton of money.




Important: These limited-time discounts are only available to performers: cam models, porn actors and anyone who either actively works or previously had worked as talent. If you qualify, you can take advantage of these from now until the end of April 2018.

So, what’s in the box?

ElevatedX - a powerful platform that supports some of the most successful adult businesses, is giving away 1 month free: savings of $199.

MojoHost offers 60% off a spacious Virtual Private Server with 300GB of storage, weekly backups, a unique IP address and Full Server Management. A value of $248/month for only $99, locked in for the lifetime of your account. There is no commitment and you can close this down when you’d like, immediately or at the end of a billing period.

Verotel will waive the annual Visa/MasterCard fees of 500 EUR. Their starting rate is 15.5% on all transactions and once the website makes over EUR 1,000/week (approx. USD 1,250), the billing tier decreases to 7%. Verotel’s payouts are weekly on Mondays, net-15. They do not transfer fees for Chargebacks to you, but will not cover the amounts charged back.

Zuzana Design slashes 50% off its regular price for template-based designs, offering them at only $349.
Zuzana Design templates allow for a wide variety of setups, colors, and looks. Here are some examples of the pages and setups:
Tour http://cmsdev.zuzanadesigns.com/tour_03/
Members http://cmsdev.zuzanadesigns.com/members_03/
VOD http://cmsdev.zuzanadesigns.com/vod_03/
Demo username = zuzana Password = designs
The template also comes with a custom theme panel that allows you to set what sections show on the home page, how many thumbs per section, set primary colors, make your header a slider or movie and more without needing to edit within Elevated X.
Here are some examples of how you can change out the header, colors, etc to give an idea of how you can customize the look:

http://demo.zuzanadesigns.com/style2/tour/
http://demo.zuzanadesigns.com/style3/tour/
Example website layouts:




In a nutshell, your setup cost on making a website would total $448, and future monthly cost of running it would be $298 and 15% up to 1000 Euro/week in profit and 7% once you are beyond that.

If you are ready for serious business, this is the best time to make the move!

If you have any questions or concerns that you do not want to post publicly on the forum about or want to take advantage of the offer, please reach out by email to supporttheperformer at mojohost dot com.

You do know you can create a website for free right? You can also purchase adult hosting pretty damn cheap.

There are lots of adult friendly hosts that cost about $115 a YEAR (not $99 per MONTH) then you purchase your domain (some hosting sites give you free domain names) so instead of giving some company THIS MUCH MONEY do your research ladies!!!




You can also get CCbilling and other adult services for a FRACTION of whatever this person is charging.


OR you can use Model Centro or Adult indie and have them do everything and they charge you GUESS WHAT? nothing.


Your insane right?

Hi BiancaBaker,

The offer above isn't really insane. It just gives you different capabilities from the ones you described.

For example, the hosting account you're talking about would be a shared account. This means you'd be placed on one CPU with 100s of other clients, all sharing the same resources. This wouldn't be sufficient to run an active paysite or VOD site, wouldn't provide any safety from data breaches, etc. And with limited and intermittent resources - it'd simply crash endlessly. You'd also not be able to get anywhere near 300GB of space, a necessity if you plan to have a lot of content. So, it's a matter of what your needs are. Shared hosting is great for low-traffic blogs and info pages, but won't do you any good if you want to run a full-blown business website with video content.

CCBill would give you the same rate for billing, and in fact, one is free to choose them over Verotel - the bundle's offers are not obligatory and it is possible to use some and not all if you have a better solution.

There are a ton of other services online that will offer you no upfront costs, and I think they are great. They provide you with a risk-free option and if you are worried about not getting a return on investment, they are definitely the way to go.

This offer above is great for those who are ready to spend money on creating a business. It isn't going to be free of costs, and truly it will only beat the revshare offers when your website makes $3k+ a month regularly. At this point you get to keep more of its total profit than on any no-cost service, and way upwards from that.

That is the kind of setup I've been asked about. The offer above isn't a partnership. It's a discounted bundle to make things cheaper, that's all. As with any business setup, you invest at your own risk, and you want to be reasonably confident that this will make you money before you decide to make this move.

I’m not a model, so maybe I’m not seeing something, but what would the advantage be of hosting your own videos instead of going with something like ManyVids?

As a customer of videos, I don’t really see the value/advantage of buying my videos from a custom site vs ManyVids...

Again, I’m not a content creator, so I don’t know what the fees for a ManyVids sale is, but I’d guess that only a small percentage of the top models who sell hundreds of dollars of videos/month would see a financial benefit from this...

You are not going to make any money.. There are way better websites in place for what you are offering. You are charging a LOT of money when there are companies that do all this for FREE. Again I would seriously advise all models NOT to do this. I have been doing this 6 years successfully I am pretty sure I know what I am talking about VS someone who has no idea. You can make your on website for free, get cheap hosting and go with Indie Bill. They cover chargebacks (which Im sure you don't) and you get 85 percent (which would be amazing for someone VS doing this) You would still need to drive your own traffic to your site (regardless who you went with so why not do it for cheaper?) get the same product and not have to deal with a shady company charging $99 PER MONTH..

TMD hosting Is $110 a YEAR (not $99 PER MONTH) - create a website for FREE- Get INDIE BILL FOR FREE - save yourself $99 a MONTH.. There is really no need for what you are offering..


OR: You can create a C4S store or MV and sell your content through a site where GUESS what there's already a ton of traffic..



*I would also like to know HOW many models you have paying this ridiculous amount of money? Because your site looks A LOT like Model Centro and they charge nothing....

Hi Wolf_3_5_9, it is simply a different business model, and you are entirely correct that it will be an interesting offer for those with a high volume of sales only.

Dear BiancaBaker,

I appreciate your input and in fact, was expecting the type of response. Please let me clarify.

You may think that I'm not particularly knowledgeable and "have no idea", but I've worked for many years for one of the websites you mentioned above and know the business quite well. I also have fairly diverse industry contacts and know a bit about performers and the way they run their businesses. I'm sorry that I didn't put that in my initial post and therefore led you to think that I'm just walking in off the street throwing numbers around. I'm not. I ran calculations thoroughly before doing anything towards this offer. I'm sure there are cheaper options on the market and options that are cost-free. I also think that these would work perfectly for someone who isn't generating a steadily large turnover to make this worthwhile. As per my calculation, this offer becomes beneficial to a model if he or she earns $3k and up on website sales, and truly makes a difference starting at $5k in monthly sales. You can run the numbers and find out for yourself. Yes, it isn't going to fit everyone, but that does not make it less beneficial to those for whom it will be quite useful.

Speaking of MojoHost, this offer was not made with high hopes to earn lots of money. In fact, the size of the account included in this offer is way out of character, as most of our clients use dedicated machines and pay upwards of $300/month to run and maintain their servers, cost scaling upwards with the sizes of their businesses. We host Clips4Sale, along with 50000 adult websites, including 2 large cam sites. So, I did not intend to reap a fat profit on this promotion, just to put together something that some may be interested in.

MojoHost isn't new, although the company hasn't really ever marketed towards obtaining smaller accounts. It was incorporated in 1999 and since has grown and obtained a lot of trust and reputation. We hold a total of 35 awards for hosting and business excellence from GFY, XBIZ, YNOT and other industry recognition awards.

We don't offer shared hosting such as TMD as that is not our line of business. Shared hosting is a great way to set up a small WordPress blog, but it will in no way be adequate when you have 100 users watching your videos at once. In fact, shared hosting accounts wouldn't fit enough content to populate a quality tour page, not to mention a members area. Also, this offer does not compete with all-done-for you websites. It's intended for a different audience of those who are more hands-on with their digital business.

Sarah of Zuzana Designs is a former performer and also holds a number of industry awards for "Best Design Company". She, more than many, knows how important your design is for making sales.

I don't mean to antagonize you and I understand your reaction, please excuse if it came out as if I am lecturing you in the text above. I wanted to explain the reasoning and where we're coming from so that at least you don't think that we are insane.

 

[NatalieP]

Bianca, you asked about the performers' websites we host, here are a few:

destinydixon.com
claudiamarie.com
jamesdeen.com
arielrebel.com

They aren't a part of this promo since it got launched only an hour ago. They also aren't partnerships - just businesses that use us as an infrastructure solution - the same way anyone taking advantage of the offer above would be.

As a customer the benefit you would receive by sticking to a site like MV,C4S or whatever, is that there are more models listed on those sites that you can choose from. You don't have to leave the site. BUT for many customers when they find a performer that they enjoy, they're willing make purchases on their indy sites because they want to continue to support that performer. In many cases solo girl sites will also have other performers listed on them as well.

I think it will come down to a matter of personal preference for consumers. Do you want to search through hundreds of thousands of videos sorted by algorithms that may not be based on your own interest or do you go to a solo/multi-performer site who's brand you trust and know the content is inline with your kinks? You can always do both.
