Make money promoting adult toys online!

If you have tired of selling porn paysite membership, consider a new adult sponsor. Maybe it's time to sell stuff that people can touch? There are many sex toys stores that offer generous commission and numerous promotional tools to build your own store. You will have no overhead, warehousing or employee worries.

The most profitable adult niches for promotion are those where you can hardly ever get products or services for free, for example live cams, adult dating or sex toys. The reasons are obvious – if you can’t get something for free, you are likely to buy it.

The statistics prove this fact. Sellers of adult videos both online and offline have reported sales decreases of as much as 50% during the past year (mostly due to free tube websites and content piracy) while sex toys retailers have reported revenue increases of from 7% to 13%, both in the brick-and-mortar realm and online.

Another reason of sex toys boom is that when everything else is falling apart, a lot of people are turning to intimacy for solace. For example, after terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, the retailers of adult products reported an increase in sales. Now, when the economy is in the grip of a depression, people again are turning to “bedroom aids” for comfort.

Adult toys market

Adult toys are a generalized term for x-rated playthings such as sexy lingerie, vibrators, dildos, blow-up dolls, butt plugs, anal beads, cock rings, etc. If you can touch it and adults like it, you can probably buy it online.

The Internet has made sex toys mainstream and a part of everyday life. Nowadays people can purchase a product they want without having to walk into an adult store. The Internet provides a shopping experience that is discrete and comfortable for a person who may be new to the adult toys market.

The most popular sex toys are those that look like human genitals. They may be vibrating or non-vibrating. One of the most common styles of vibrators is "rabbit." They come from mild stimulation to wild stimulation.

In the first season of popular series "Sex and the City," Charlotte developed an erotic obsession with her Rabbit Pearl vibrator. After the airing of these episodes, online sales of the Rabbit Pearl skyrocketed, with many e-stores unable to keep up with the numerous orders.

Making your own store

There are two ways to promote sex toys websites. The first is “classical” – just fill out online application, receive a unique Affiliate ID, add the sponsor’s banners, direct product reviews and text links to your websites and entice your visitors to click them.

Another way to promote sex toys is to use sponsor’s customization features to build your own co-branded store and display products that you think will be interesting for your website visitors. The sponsor will handle all aspects of the shopping experience: the stock, customer service, payment process, packing, shipping and even the occasional return.

However, keep in mind that some adult toy sponsors require affiliates to have their own domains and host on paid servers. Luckily, leasing a domain and opening a hosting account is rather small investment these days.

When a customer makes a purchase from your affiliate links, you will automatically receive a commission for that order. It can be as high as 30% with some adult toy store sponsors, while others pay around 15% per sale to affiliates.

Typically, the payouts start from $50-$100. If you have less money on your account, then you have to wait until earnings reach that amount. Each payment will include a statement detailing all sales, returns, charge backs, referrals, etc.

Do you think that porn is just a fantasy? Some people are getting tired of virtual, digital porn and want to try something new, something that they can touch. Use this trend to incorporate an adult toy store into your website – blog, tube site, online magazine and even the TGP/MGP gallery. Of course, the competition in this segment of adult entertainment is stiff, but that's the cost of doing business.
