Before launching a solo girl site, consider having your model do webcam shows for awhile. Build up a faithful group of fans. This will also help test her to see if she really has what it takes to stick with it and is comfortable before you invest a whole lot into this. It will also put some money in her pocket.

If this is really what your model wants to do and she has proven that she has the positive work ethics and attitude, then you have a few options with developing a solo girl site.

You can do it alone. Work with a few key people to develop the site. If you are not a designer, hire a designer. If you are not a programmer, hire a programmer. If you aren't sure how to generate your own traffic and market the site, work with someone who does have the skill...

You can join an existing sponsor and have the model and/or site appear in their portfolio of sites. Work out the agreement and make sure it is fair to both sides.

Create a paysite and plug it behind an AVS system

Whatever she chooses to do, make sure she owns her own domain and the name in which she will use as her online presence.

Remember that solo girl sites are all about the model. The personal touch. She will need to interact with her members as much as possible. The best solo girl sites out there are ones where the model is active with her members. This isn't about doing photo updates and vid updates once a week. It's all about the personal touch with the members. A lot of work and dedication goes into running a solo girl site, not only from the people running the behind the scenes work, but the model herself.

Research other solo girl sites that compliment the niche(s) of your model. Join a few of the ones you like. Take notes about the site. What is it about the site design, members' area, and just the whole user experience that you like or don't like? What are the price points for membership? Take notes, but never copy someone elses site.

Have your model network with other models that have solo girl sites. This will help you to learn, build a name, and eventually work with traffic trades. Some of these models may want to do scenes with her as "friends".

Another way to make some money and to test your model is to make several videos. Cut them into clips and then sell them on a site like Clips4Sale.com. http://www.clips4sale.com You can set-up a store that basically will sell her videos. Register a site name, then watermark the videos with the site name. This will work to help her brand her name and build up a following before she launches a full blown solo girl site.

Before you launch a solo girl site, have plenty of picture and video content stock piled. Have enough where you could do one picture and one video update a week for at least a few months. You never know what life will throw at you and you always want to make sure you have enough of content to do regular updates in case the model has personal problems, has an accident, becomes pregnant, falling out between co-workers, whatever may happen..., to keep the site updated and functioning until whatever the problem is can be worked through.

For the legal and business issues, consult an attorney who is familiar with how the adult industry works, the online adult industry works, Federal, State, and local laws. Should you incorporate or not? Do you need permits? Does your local municipality allow you to produce porn in a studio or your home? All these questions and more can be answered by a qualified attorney. Every community, state, and country has different laws.

You can also find an attorney through the Free Speech Coalition at:

You'll also need to find information on 2257 and how it pertains to you, proper model release forms, and what your models can and can't do on film or pictures. An attorney and many of the resource sites like YNot.com have information or links to people to consult to make sure whatever it is you are doing is legal and will save your butt in court should the time ever come.

If you don't already have traffic, it is best to begin building up traffic before launching a full blown solo girl site. Brand her name. Build-up a fan club so to speak. It will make things a little easier when the site does launch if you already have traffic you can direct to it.

As for updating, you can update with as little as one pic set and one video set each week. How much content you launch with depends on the niche and membership fees. For example, people aren't going to pay $25.00 a month to enter a site with 5 pic sets and 5 video sets of a solo girl teen. Rare niches can get away with much less content than something popular like solo girl teen sites. Mix in a few random webcam shows each week. Make a schedule so members know when to tune in. Interact with the members a lot. Just her presence live inside the members' area, will keep some members happy and rebilling. Take a look at other solo girls members' areas and see how much content they have and how often they update.

Another option is considering launching a site that appears behind an AVS system. (Adult Verification System) Basically, you build a membership type site and then plug it into the network The AVS takes care of the processing and you have access to existing traffic. You would promote this site much like you would a paysite that resides outside of the network. You won't need as much content to launch it and the AVS system handles all of your processing. All you need to do is promote your site and update it on a regular basis.

Whatever you and your model choose to do, make sure she registers her own domain name and her own name. This will be her online identity and you want to brand it. Branding goes a long way. She owns that domain and name. It is hers. Don't allow someone else to have the rights to that name.
