I, Adultwebmaster!

I am shopping for a condo in the Fort Lauderdale/Miami area (between April 14-May3) so if you wanna hook up for drinks and chat then please send me an email to webmaster AT iadultwebmaster.com. I’ll be hitting Fort Lauderdale, Miami, South Beach, Key West, etc…

Well its finally Spring-like weather in the NorthEast and soon you’ll be hearing adultwebmasters complain about the “summer-slowdown” in the adult business. The adult industry term Summer Slowdown refers to the supposed decrease in sales adultwebmasters notice because less guys are cooped up at home surfing for porn and more guys are out being active because of the warm weather.

Now some adultwebmasters dispel the notion that there is a summer slowdown and insist they see stable sales throughout the year. I believe its only natural that sales may decrease over the summer time as dad’s take their familes on vacation, guys go out to ballgames and patios and outdoor activity increases. But my point today is regardless if you believe in summer slowdown or not, you should continue to keep working hard on your business and dont get discouraged by seemingly decreased sales.

Now is the time to build more sites and pages so that when traffic increases again in the Fall you are in line to reap the benefits. The sales in the adult industry may be somewhat cyclical based on the season but the rate at which you build your assets doesnt have to be.

Of course if you live in an area that has a frigid winter now may also be a good time for you to take a break from sitting in front of the computer and go enjoy the warm weather too, my point is to not get discouraged by the lower sales you may experience in the summer as long as you continue to build something everyday.

If you are relatively new to the business and have not yet signed up for StatsRemote I suggest you take a look at the product at http://www.statsremote.com.

StatsRemote is a program that saves you time by checking your sponsor accounts for you at designated times (as often as every 15 minutes). If you find that you have more than a handful of sponsor accounts then you should spend the $30/month to get StatsRemote. It is worth every penny.

Here’s a screenshot of StatsRemote (click to enlarge):

StatsRemote checks your stats for you…

Not only does StatsRemote save you valuable time by checking all your sponsor accounts for you (especially for the Stats junkies out there) but it also organizes your sales data in a format that makes comparisons easy.

Are you already using StatsRemote?

Then make sure you are getting the full benefit of this awesome program!

Here are the ways I get more out of my Statsremote program:

1. I add all sponsors accounts (username/password) to my StatsRemote as soon as I join up for them even if I do not yet have time to add their linkcodes to my sites. This serves as a reminder for me (because I see the sponsor listed in my statsremote with big fat ZEROES beside it) and I eventually add that particular sponsors to my network of sites faster than if they werent in my statsremote (you know what they say - outta sight outta mind).

2. On the last day of every month I save that month’s data in a CSV file format (a great feature of statremote) so that I have a history of all my sales for any given month. Some sponsors only keep sales data for a limited time so saving my sales data in the CSV format at the end of each month assures me of more accurate historical data over the years.

3. I use the ‘CUSTOM’ tab at the bottom of statsremote to input my choice of time period to review my sales. This is a great feature where I can choose to see how I am doing for the first 10 days of the month compared to last month’s. Or for example, when I went on vacation for 8 days I was able to select a custom period and see my sales for the 8 days I was away.

These are just a few of the ways I use StatsRemote — if you are not already using it then check it out now - http://www.statsremote.com - and if you already have it spend some time with it to make sure you are taking full advantage of all StatsRemote has to offer. It definitely will help you make more $$$ with your sponsors.

Hello fellow adultwebmasters! I am back from vacation, I had a great time and am ready to get back to work building my business.

I must say if you haven’t taken a vacation in a while you should really book a week off for some relaxation — its good to get away from the computer and enjoy the fruits of your labor once in a while

I am going to spend the next couple days catching up on what i’ve missed while I was gone including adding new entries to all my blogs. If you have a blog then please add it to http://www.toppornblogs.com now.
