Things were a lot easier to start a website say in '99 and for several years after that. Our primary traffic sources were our own toplist, other toplist, friends pages, search engines, monthly mailings to past members, content trades with other amateurs and doing photo/video shoots with other amateurs. A girl could slap up any kind of site and make money, good money just doing it part time. At that time we refused to have an affiliate program... we basically had an attitude that we didn't want to share our income with others, but as you know times change, and fast... lol

These days we still get some traffic from toplist, and content trades, but more and more of our traffic is now coming from affiliates. We, like many other "solo girl/amateur" sites have combined our member’s areas with other "solo girl/amateur" sites and have created a pretty good network. So now for our members, they get access to several web sites when they join, and they get daily updates, member forums, live cams, diaries from girls, etc to make the entire member experience more interactive and way more bang for their buck than it used to be!

To make good money now, it’s a different ball game, as Sammy mentioned. Sites like ours, Carol’s, Sammy’s etc have been at this for a while now, and have existing cash programs, marketing tools, Content Management Systems, etc and can give a girl a good head start without her having to reinvent the wheel.

The "amateur" community has always been great for sharing ideas with each other, and helping each other. The number of self run solo sites might have gotten a lot smaller over the years, but we are still here doing OK!
