If you follow my blog, you already know that I make money from porn, webcam girls, uploading, and other porn-related businesses. This article will show you how to build a porn site from the ground up.
I work with porn because 75% of the internet is porn content, and even though there is enough porn to satisfy all of our needs, people are constantly looking for more and more porn content, and this market will never become oversaturated, which is why you need to learn how to build a porn site and start making money from it.
This article will walk you through my detailed steps on How to Start a Porn Site:
- How to actually make money with a porn site
- How to find a perfect niche for your porn site
- Best adult hosting and domain name
- Get WP-script and Mass embedder plugin for your website
- Submit your website to Google
- Monetize your porn website

- Track your website visitors
- How to scale your porn site business
How to Make Money With Porn?
I never imagined I could make money from porn sites and pornographic content. I started my first porn sites in 2010, and they made me a lot of money over the next few years, so I realised how big the porn industry is.
I used WordPress for all of my porn sites, and it was extremely simple to set them up. My strategy was as follows:
Create 10 niche porn sites and find someone to manage them once they start making $50+ per day so I don’t have to work on them full time.
My plan was to take 50% of my earnings from those sites and pay the other half to my employee. For example, if I earn $50 per day from these ten sites, I would pay $25 for someone to manage those sites for me, leaving me with a $25 passive income.
How to Build a Porn Site in 10 Minutes
It was really hard to create a website 13-15 years ago, you would need 100,000+ lines of code in order to create one simple porn site, it was also really hard to find huge servers for all your porn videos.
Today, there is essentially one script that can save you from coding, paying for programmers, testing your website for years until it’s ready for launch, and saving you from purchasing $5,000 worth of servers.
I’ve always wondered, with over 20,000 porn sites online and running 24/7 for years, is it possible that they’re all making money?
Yes, they are, and here’s why: Porn is the most popular online industry; there will never be enough porn to meet all of our needs; 4 billion people watch porn every day for hours on end.
You will make money with your porn site if you have a nice website design, quality content with SEO, work at least a few hours per day on it, and have stable adult hosting.
In a few simple steps, I’ll show you how to set up your own porn site. I will write a detailed step-by-step tutorial on how to create a porn site, how to optimise it for search engines, and how to monetize it.
Niche VS General porn site
90% of our sites are niche sites, and they account for 80% of our earnings. But why am I using niches like Stepmom, MILF, Teen, Yoga, BBC, and so on?
You should use niches because they provide an SEO advantage, a higher CTR (click-through rate) on your ads (because your ads will be more relevant), and they are easier to work with. Concentrate on one niche and master it to get targeted visitors and a higher conversion rate.
Step 1: Hosting and Domain for Adult Site
If you want to start a porn site, you will need adult hosting and a domain name.
There is only one hosting provider that is affordable, supports the porn site business, and is extremely fast. I’m talking about HW Hosting, which is probably one of the best hosting companies online, and Hostwinds is probably the only host that will let you build your porn site on their shared hosting ($38 semi-annual), you can click here to visit Hostwinds homepage and check their prices..
We host 110+ websites on Hostwinds servers, and I would give them a 10/10 for both hosting and support. Hostwinds is very affordable, with professional hosting starting at $38.
How to buy Hostwinds Hosting Step by Step
This procedure will be explained in a few simple steps so that everyone understands it. To begin, go to the Hostwinds hosting homepage by clicking here.
When you arrive at their homepage, click the green Get Hosted button.
When you click the Get Hosted button, Hostwinds will take you to the registration page for your new hosting customer account.
You must enter some basic information such as your first name, last name, e-mail address, and password.
Now click on the green Submit button and you will get to the Checkout page.
Now you will need to provide some Client information, like your name, phone number, email, country, and city.
Choose “Use Default Contact” in the Domain Registrant information dropdown.
Skip this domain name part.
Now you will get your website domain name. If you can’t think of the perfect domain name for your website, go to the LeanDomainSearch website.
Search for your “Keyword” and LeanDomain will show you 1000+ available domain names using your keyword. For example, these are my search results for “MILF porn“:
Once you find your perfect domain, go to Ionos.com, where you can buy your .com domain name for $1.
Copy and paste your domain name into the IONOS domain checker, click the Check button, and if your domain is available, you will be able to purchase it and proceed to the next step.
If you want to start with just one porn site, the Basic Web Hosting package is for you. It includes everything you need except the multiple sites option, so you can only host one website with this plan.
A Basic Web Hosting plan will cost you $38 semi-annually.
If you want to start with more than one porn site, you can select a larger plan, such as the Advanced Plan.
(The advanced plan costs around $46 semi-annually and allows you to host up to four sites.)
If you are a beginner and only need one porn site, I recommend the Basic plan.
Click here to go to the HostWinds hosting homepage and purchase hosting.
The HW Basic plan includes an unlimited number of add-on domains, a one-click installer, an SSL certificate, and 50+ other premium features.
All HostWinds hosting plans include a 30-day money-back guarantee; if you don’t like their hosting, you can request a full refund within 30 days.
You can now select your billing cycle, paying for 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, or 36 months.
You must purchase at least 6 months of hosting in order to qualify for their discount, so you will save an additional $35 per year.
Hostwinds will provide you with Unlimited Email Accounts, the most recent cPanel, a free SSL certificate, instant setup, and many other features. And, yes, you will only pay $38 for all of this.
They will offer you some extra services, which you will not require, believe me. However, if you decide to purchase them, you will have to pay significantly more for hosting.
So just skip this part, uncheck any add-ons that are checked by default, and move on to the next step.
Click on the “I have read and agree to Terms” button, and after that click on the Complete Order button.
Step 2: WP-Script and Mass Embedder
I have an answer for you if you want to know how your site will look. Your site will look exactly like some of the most popular porn sites on the internet, such as PornHub and XVideos. You can view one of my demo websites, which was built with WP-script: www.BestOrgasmPorn.com.
Can you build a website like this without paying web designers and developers $xx xxx?
Yes, there is a simple WordPress theme that you can get for $24 that will make your site look exactly like other large and popular porn sites.
This script is called WP-Script, and you can check this theme on the WP-script website.
This theme will allow you to create your own porn website in 10 minutes, and I will show you how to do it step by step.
How to Buy and Install WP-Script
WP-Script is selling 5 different theme design options, and I would recommend Retrotube theme, we are using RetroTube on most of our sites.
I’m using this theme on my demo site; you can see it in action by clicking here.
I’ll show you how to get it. Click here to go to WP-main script’s page; once there, click on the Themes button in their top menu to browse their themes.
When you arrive at the Themes page, you’ll notice six different themes: Famoustube, Kolortube, UltimaTube, Kingtube, VTube, and Retrotube.
RetroTube is my favourite because it looks great on the phone, is simple to use, has no bugs, perfectly placed Ad spots, and has really nice colour schemes.
If you want to use this theme for one website, it will cost you $24. If you want to start more than one porn site, you should purchase a $34 package that allows you to use it on five different sites, or a $49 package that allows you to use it on an unlimited number of sites.
Once you decide how many sites you going to start with, you can choose your package. Click on the ADD to CART button and continue reading this tutorial.
This theme is massive, with over 100 options for customising everything from colours to logos, videos, and social share buttons. It’s SEO-friendly, has great banner ad positions, sidebar widgets, is lightweight, and is very affordable. For $24, you will receive an amazing porn site design.
Now you have to buy Mass Embedder
Mass embedder is a plugin that will make your business 10 times easier and faster. WP-script offers a Mass embedder solution, which will automatically grab videos from other porn sites and place them on your website, eliminating the need for you to manually upload them.
Embedder will pull videos from other porn sites and embed them into your website using their embedded code, and WP-script works in collaboration with all major porn sites such as Xvideos, Pornhub, Redtube, Xhamster… and you can use their amazing videos on your websites for free.
To obtain this plugin, go to WP-script and click on the PLUGINS button in the main menu.
When you click PLUGINS, you will be taken to the plugin list. The first plugin on this list, WPS Mass Embedder, is the one you need to use.
This plugin will cost you $44 to use on one website, $59 to use on five sites, and $74 to use on an unlimited number of sites.
Choose a package of 1, 5, or Unlimited, then click the Add to Cart button.
You won’t have to spend any more money on your porn site after you get your WP-theme and Embedder plugin.
Your total porn site investment will be $24 for WP-theme, $44 for Mass Embedder, and $39 for hosting, which is both the cheapest and best way to get started with a professional porn site.
Go to Checkout by clicking on the Cart item in the top menu.
You must now enter your information and email address before proceeding to the billing page.
You can pay directly with a credit card or through PayPal.
Continue reading this tutorial because I will show you how to install this script, embed videos, and start making money with your porn site.
How to Create a Porn Site
WP-script and Mass embedder plugin work with WordPress, and WordPress is the most popular website CMS online, it’s really easy to install, and it’s easy to work with.
WordPress is a free CMS that I will demonstrate how to install and activate your WP-script theme on your WordPress installation.
WordPress Installation
I will show you a Step-by-Step installation using my demo Hostwinds account. The first thing you need to do, log into your Hostwinds account.
Once you are in, click on the Manage button. Now you will get to your Hosting package details page.
Once you land on your Hosting package dashboard, you should click on the “Login to cPanel” button in your sidebar menu.
This will take you to your cPanel options.
You’ll find your Softaculous script installer at the bottom of the cPanel page. This is a one-click CMS installer; simply click the WordPress icon to install the WordPress script on your domain.
When you arrive at this WordPress installation page, click the Install now button.
You must now make changes to your WordPress default installation. Simply copy my installation settings.
Select Http:// or Https:// in the Protocol field.
Choose your domain name in Choose domain.
Delete everything in the Directory and leave an empty field.
Simply enter your site’s name and description.
You must also select your Admin username, password, and e-mail address.
Replace the Admin username with your name or a nickname, because if hackers ever attempt to attack your website, the first username they will try is Admin.
You should also select a secure password (at least 10 characters).
Enter your e-mail address so that WordPress can send you important website notifications.
Skip Select plugin, Advance options, and Select theme part.
Now you just have to click on the blue Install button and your WordPress will be installed.
You’re finished. To access your Admin panel, simply click on the Administrative URL, and I’ll show you how to activate your WP-theme and Mass Embedder plugin.
How to Create a Porn Site using WP-Script
To begin, log into your WP-script account, click the START button in your main menu, and download the WP-SCRIPT CORE plugin.
This CORE plugin will be delivered in.zip format; download it and save it to your desktop.
.zip files are simple to use and can be uploaded directly to WordPress; I’ll show you how.
Go to your website’s Admin panel, then to your domain, and add /wp-admin to your domain link.
To access the Admin panel, for example, if my domain is www.pornwaley.com, I should enter www.pornwaley.com/wp-admin.
Enter your administrative username and password (You created both of them during your WordPress installation).
Now, in your WordPress sidebar menu, navigate to Plugins and click Add New.
When you arrive at your Plugins page, click the Upload plugin button.
Now, click Choose file and navigate to your WP-SCRIPT CORE plugin.
zip file, then upload and activate it.
Because the Classic Editor plugin is a great and simple WordPress editor, you should install it.
You can go to Plugins -> Add new, and WordPress will show you this plugin because it is very popular.
Simply click the Install Now button, install it, and activate it.
You need 3 more minutes and your website will be ready for work.
Find a WP-script item in the bottom left sidebar menu, and click on Dashboard.
WP-theme will need a licence key to be activated, so go to the WP-script website, log in, copy your licence key, and paste it into your WP-Script licence box.
Once your licence has been activated, navigate to your WP-script Dashboard and locate your WordPress theme and the Mass Videos Embedder plugin.
Find a green Connect Now button under those items and click it. WordPress will connect them automatically using your licence key, and your site is now ready to use.
WP-Script Website Design
Now navigate to the WP-script theme options. Locate WP-script in the left sidebar menu and select Theme options.
I’ll post a screenshot of our Default settings so you can replicate them on your website.
The first page is your General options page, where you can change the quality of your homepage video thumbnail (you should choose a Normal quality).
Except for Comments, I usually enable all options. (On porn sites, there is far too much spam in the comment section.)
Now navigate to the Visual options page.
The first option is your site width, which can be Full width or a smaller one, a Boxed design, which I use for all of my porn sites.
You can also change the colour of your main theme. I prefer the Retrotube default colour, so I usually leave it (#FF3565) by default, but you can change it if you want.
There’s also a custom background option, where you can upload an image and use it as the background for your website; I prefer to leave it unchecked by default.
The following step is to configure the logo and favicon. We don’t use logo images because the WP-SCRIPT default logo editor is far more convenient.
You can select from several Icon logo options; we prefer the ‘play-circle’ icon, and we never use the text slogan option, so you should turn it off. The font used in our text is Amaranth, and the font size is 33px.
If you have a favicon, you can upload it.
Next step, Header settings.
In the header settings, you will see two options: Social profiles (which we leave unchecked by default) and Search bar (which we think is useful and always leave checked).
The following step is content configuration. Carousel slider is a small slider that appears beneath your main menu; you can see it on my new demo site, StepSis.com.
You can experiment with your Slider settings to find your optimal configuration; see the screenshot above for my demo website setup.
You should disable your Homepage Sidebar and include some SEO Title and Text, as shown in the screenshot above.
Now, select the Video Page Settings option.
You should enable your sidebar, disable the Tracking Button, and disable the Author, Publish Date, and Actors options in the video.
Keep your Truncate description enabled and your Video share options enabled.
Choose All Networks for Video Share Options, enable Related Videos, and leave Related Video Numbers as Default.
Save your changes and then go to the Sidebar settings.
You should enable the Show sidebar option and select a sidebar position; we recommend the right sidebar.
Now, Click on Footer options.
Footer column settings will give you a few different footer size options, with 1 column or 4 columns being our favourites.
Turn off the Logo option and enable the Copyright bar. In the Copyright box, type something like “All rights reserved: 2022 Yourporsite.com.”
The Membership settings page will be filled with a bunch of options.
Disable all these options just like I did on my Screenshot above.
There are 6 different banner options on your Advertising page.
Code page will show you 2 different menus. The first one is for your Google analytics code, and some other scripts, like popup codes.
The second one is for your Meta Verification code from Google Webmaster codes.
Go to the Mobile Settings page now. The number of videos per page should be kept between 20 and 30, with a maximum of two videos per row.
Disable both the Show sidebar and the Homepage widget options.
The Mobile Advertising page will allow you to set up your mobile ads.
You can use the same banners as your Desktop version, just copy/paste them into your Mobile Ad zones.
Porn Site Categories and Main Menu
Go to Videos -> Video categories to create categories for your porn website.
At least 15 categories should be created. Enter your category name and click the Add video category button; Slug and Description are optional.
You can use the following categories on your porn site: MILF, Anal, Teen, Brunette, Blonde, BBC, BBW, Big tits, Small tits, Threesome, Gangbang, Blowjob, Creampie, Facial, Amateur, Mature, Cuckold, Orgasm, Taboo, Dildo, Masturbation, Latin, Asian, European, Pornstar, BDSM, College, Stepmom, Stepsister, Massage
WP-default Script’s menu looks great, but to make it useful, you must add all of your categories to your Main menu, which I will demonstrate in a few simple steps.
Remove Tags and Actors from your default menu by going to Appearance -> Menus.
Now click on Video category, select All categories, and click on Add to menu.
Pull all of your categories to the right to use as sub-items on your categories menu page.
That’s all there is to it; now save your menu, and it will appear as a categories dropdown with all of your categories.
How to Manage your Sidebar
Go to Appearance -> Widgets and you will find 4 different widget areas, Homepage, Sidebar, Under the video, and Footer.
Remove all items from your Homepage and Footer widget areas; only Retrotube – Video blocks should remain in your Sidebar. Remove the widget title and increase the total number of videos to 18. Choose Latest videos for Display and All in your category options.
Embed 50 Videos using Mass Embedder
After you have created your website, you should embed 50 initial videos on it.
Stop embedding after 50 videos on your porn site. You can resume embedding in 4-5 days.
Continue to embed 3-4 videos per day until you reach 100 videos on your porn site, at which point you can begin embedding 10 videos per day.
Go to the WP-Script dashboard, click Plugins -> Mass embedder, and select your partner website, probably Youporn. Now type in your search term (for example, Blonde MILF) and press the Search button.
You will obtain 1000+ video results; find some videos to embed that are longer than 10 minutes and of good quality. Now, browse to your website’s destination category and click the green Import option.

How to Get SEO Traffic on My Porn Site
SEO stands for search engine optimization. The majority of our visits come from Google Search, and the more videos you have and the more SEO work you perform, the more people will find you through Google Search. We never used sponsored advertisements or blackhat ways to get traffic to our websites; all of my traffic is organic (social, re-uploading, and SEO).
I enjoy SEO since it is a passive traffic source that is also free and simple to generate money with. Because we optimise our photos so successfully, Google images accounts for 40% of my SEO traffic.
SEO is the ideal traffic source since it provides focused visits to your porn site. For example, if you operate a StepMom specialty website, you would receive people who are searching for Stepmom porn on Google.
Those are highly targeted visitors who are coming to your website because they are interested in a specific niche, and as a result, you will get a much higher conversion rate on your ads, as well as more returning visitors, because once your visitors find your Stepmom website, they will Bookmark it and return to it every single day because they love high-quality Stepmom porn.
Now all you have to do is submit your website to Google; Google will index it in 5-7 days and you will begin receiving visitors in 20-40 days.
Register for a Google Webmaster account by clicking here.
On Google Webmaster Tools, your first step is to click on the URL prefix and enter your URL.
Now, click the Continue option to go to the next stage.
You must now verify your website. You must select the HTML tag option.
Go to your website’s Admin area and copy your Meta tag code.
Go to Appearance -> Theme editor and choose your Theme Header file from the right sidebar.
Now paste your Google Webmaster code under your Statcounter code.
That’s it, now Verify your installation.
Install Yoast Plugin and Submit Sitemaps
You must install the Yoast plugin; this plugin will automatically construct your Sitemaps and enhance your overall SEO.
Go to Plugins -> Add new and search for Yoast, then click Install Now.
Next go to SEO in your left WordPress sidebar, click on Search Appearance.
Now click on the Archives setting and disable your Author archives.
Now go to Google Webmaster -> Sitemaps.
You will submit three different sitemaps:
post-sitemap.xml
category-sitemap.xml
and post_tag-sitemap.xml
Once you add your sitemaps Google will start crawling ranking your content.
How Much Money Can you Make with your Porn site?
I’ll go through some average figures; your earnings will vary based on the amount of sites, labour hours, specialty, and SEO quality.
First and foremost, in order to begin earning money from it, you must devote at least 1-2 hours every day to your porn site. You must focus on several traffic sources, including social media, SEO, and re-uploading.
You should begin working on your porn site on DAY 1 and expect your first visitors in 5-10 days. If you construct your sites and work on them for 2-3 hours every day, you will start generating money within the first 10-15 days.
After 30-50 days of working 2 hours per day on one site, you will be earning $5-8 per day on a continuous basis. In 3-4 months, you can earn $20 per day, and in 4-5 months, you may earn $30-40 per day.
More sites equals more money, thus the easiest approach to start your porn company is with three sites: one general site with different categories and two specialist sites.
