2. Forums and message boards
They’re ancient but effective and drive traffic to your site(s). The best way to find a forum or message board to post on is by searching your keywords in google. For instance if you create fetish clips or cater to a specific niche, google that fetish + forum. After you sign up you’ll find that many forums have a minimum post requirement before you can start advertising your work. Again, the key to THIS is engaging with potential customers. Comment on other posts and post a few free photos to show you are real.
