Option 1 Many small Adult website entrepreneurs go down this route by constructing their own website from scratch. However, it can take an extremely long time to learn the required techniques - and unless you've got a lot of time and patience on your hands it can be quite a daunting task that few wish to stomach. We've seen the results of many amateur Adult websites and some look just awful! Programs like Dreamweaver or HoTMetaL are a must if you want to produce a professional looking website (we use HoTMetaL exclusively). Believe me, it's no good using generic software such as MS FrontPage if you want a really professional looking website! Of course, you'd also need to learn how to make custom graphics (some free graphics look terrible!), write or know how to use DHTML, JavaScripts, plus other important web techniques. You'd also need to set-up either a merchant account for E-commerce or a 3rd party program - so you'd get paid at the end of the day. Your biggest cost would be purchasing the Adult content needed for your website - then keeping it updated. Then you'd need to learn how to market your website - which is one of the most important factors in making it a success.

Option 2 This is the least popular way of getting into the Adult website business. But you could always hire a professional website designer who would produce an Adult website for you. However, if you include the Adult content be prepared to spend anywhere from £2,000.00 to £20,000.00+. Of course, you'd still need a merchant account for E-commerce or a 3rd party program and you'd also need to keep your website updated and marketed at all times.

Option 3 This is the preferred option and is now the most popular method that has enabled ordinary folks to enter the Adult website business arena. And although it combines a small degree of Options 1 & 2 - it has distinct advantages as an 'off-the-shelf' product, but nevertheless remains personalized:

• No need to learn how to construct your own website.
• No high website designer fees.
• No need to buy any content as it's provided free, and is automatically updated regularly.
• No need to provide e-commerce - it's built-in without charge.
• No technical knowledge required.

The only real requirement is to learn how to market your own website, and over a period of time, learn how to simply maintain your website (we'll show you how - it's not rocket science!).
