Selling Sex toys online – the complete guide

Whats the current state of adult sex toy business?

 adult sex toy businessThere are some giants and many websites that sell  sex toys online. It is just like Adult tube websites that if you try to create a general all category website then your chances of making money are negligible as the giants like Pornhub, xvideos rule the adult tube industry and you will never be able to drive traffic.

Similarly, if you are thinking of driving traffic to your adult sex toy store then you need to niche it down. If you are thinking of starting sex toys website then you have to select a niche and then build upon it

Instead of selling all sex toys, just sell dildos, and then sell all the variety of dildos possible

Why should I niche it down? ?

There are many reasons:

  1. The traffic to your sex toy business will he highly targeted and relevant
  2. More chances of making a purchase
  3. Google gives enormous advantage to niche website in search engine rankings, so you will be driving free and amaizng organic traffic to your adult toys online store

But you have to understand that you are not creating a blog or content website. Since you are selling a product SEO will not play many roles here so your only bet is spending money to drive traffic to your website

  1. Use SEMrush to first make a list of you keywords that you will use. It’s a great tool which will give you all the information that you need to find the best keyword for you. Use this SEMRUSH Coupon for free trail of its guru account

How shall I create an adult sex toys website?

If you try to create everything by yourself it will be extremely time-consuming and difficult since you have to do all the work. There are two options for you

Whitelabel website

You can sign up at a white label website and then sell products and earn a commission. This website will handle everything from hosting, dropshipping, platform, payment processing and all

You will make 40-60% commission on the sales. The disadvantages of using a free white label solution are:

  1. They have preloaded templates, so very fewer changes can be made
  2. Obviously, they will take the money  for their platform
  3. Not so scalable as you don’t have much customization option
  4. You cannot sell your website later.  Selling is white label sex toy website is a nightmare, my friend.

Some white label are free and some charge a one-time fee (~$2000) plus a monthly pricing of approximately $150/month but that will add a lot of pressure on you to make profit from this website, I never recommend this method

Create it yourself

Since I have had my love for WordPress for long so I have always created all my website through it. Here are the steps

  • Buy a adult friendly hosting – (i recommend hostgator, I use the same for my adult sex store)
  • I brought a great looking WordPress theme, with wooCommerce plugin. Great management of products and cart etc. You can easily find a great Adult Ecommerce theme on Themeforest.com.
  • Use an adult payment gateway  and you are good to go
  • Used a drop shipping API for drop shipping adult sex toys products

Since it is your own theme there are multiple customization options. Also, these themes are built by professional so they are already amazing looking. Make sure the following points are checked on the website:

  1. The website is extremely fast to load. I have written an article on this Speed up Website and Decrease WordPress Page Load time
  2. Make sure the website is mobile optimized. Google has started giving enormous advantage to mobile optimized website and hence make sure your website design is responsive
  3. Adult SEO is correctly done. Check out Adult SEO guide, and other articles in Adult SEO section to learn the ins and outs of properly optimizing your adult sex toys website for search engines

What are some popular and best sex toy websites online for some inspiration

Here is a list of few

  1. Lovehoney
  2. Amazon
  3. Simply pleasure
  4. Nice and Naughty
  5. Esmale
  6. Honour

Where will i get the products and how will the products be shipped to my customers?

If you are importing the products from China for selling it yourself then there is that. There is another way to make money and that is using affiliate income. You can drive the targeted customers to your website and then drive them to websites like lovehoney.

When they buy the adult toys through your affiliate link you will get a great commission (20%) approximately

If you have contact with vendors then you can do that as well

The other thing that most people do is dropshipping. If you don’t know what drop shipping is then let me tell you that first.

sex toy dropshippingWhat is adult dropshipping?

When you as a sex toy website owner don’t have your own products stored in a warehouse but rather wants to sell someone else product without handling the logistics that is dropshipping. You are just selling the product, shipping and delivery are taken care by the drop shipper. You list the product, sell it, make your commission and then enjoy the money

How can i find drop shippers: You can search on Google, use forum to get the high quality ones, the few I know are: Adultdropshipper.com etc

The best part about adult dropshipping is that you don’t have to invest a huge amount of money upfront in  order to maintain the inventory for selling these products. With minimum investment, you can just create your sex store website.

Finding a good drop shipper must be a priority and you must find someone who has experience and is cooperative. also, talk with him about the refunds or exchange of product policy. This issue becomes problematic later

You don’t have to worry about the company name not mentioned on the product. Here are the steps:

  1. Customer makes  a purchase on your website and pays you money
  2. You receive an email about a sale.
  3. You go to drop shippers website and place an order of same product or you can also use API to automate this process
  4. The drop shipper will send the product with your Company logo  and packaging
  5. You also don’t have to worry about the packaging being discreet as they are experienced player and they know the sensitive nature of the products being sent

You just login to the dropshippers website put in the details and he will ship the product. For automation, you can use the API to automate the process

Ok, i have a website but how will I drive targeted traffic to my website. What should be my marketing and promotion strategy for selling sex toys online?

Driving traffic has been the considered the most difficult and most troubling for any website owner. I totally agree as just like you even I want to have thousands of targeted visitor to my website the moment I launch my business

There are multiple ways of driving traffic to your website and we will go through them one by one

  1. Adult forums

Is selling of sex toys online illegal?

Legalities of selling sex toys online vary from country to country. Many countries do not allow the sale of sex toys online. While countries like the US have no issues for sex toys sale online. If you are in a country outside the US then I will advise you to first check the laws or hire a lawyer before moving forward.

As I have always preached, that adult sex toy business or any money making method in adult industry must first be verified and laws be checked before entering into one

For example selling sex toys in Malaysia and India is illegal, although companies like iambesharam and others are finding loopholes to operate. In Japan, companies are being smart by making dildos in the shape of animals and cartoon characters to sell

In the US sex toys have become increasingly available in various stores such as Walmart and others. Also, amazon has taken the biggest pie of sex toy industry by selling sex toys at a much cheaper price compared to other sex toys seller

Getting your numbers right

Whenever you are starting a business, you need to have a strong control of the financials. The money you have invested, ongoing expenses, profits, cash flow, sales projection etc must be regularly checked.

Checking your conversions from paid traffic, continuosuly optimizng your landing pages, checkout process and testing various other metrics to drive the conversion rate up. You must check out this article on Conversion optimization from brian dean of backlinko for some help

Free tools for your sex toys business

Adult toy parties

Let me also give you some idea about sex toy party business model.

How to start a sex toy party company?

Yes, you can start an adult home pleasure party business as well to make money. But honestly, it requires a lot of time and investment. Two things which are extremely important for me. So I won’t be covering this in detail and also will advise you to stay away from such business ideas

Already I have shared so many money making methods on this website, follow one of them instead and make money on autopilot just like me

Turnkey adult websites

Adult turnkey websites are those that make huge promises like they will help you make $10,000/month if you buy their product. Since you are a beginner and this sounds too good, you might be tempted to make a purchase and shell out your hard earned money

Adult novelty fulfillment and adult sex toy business consulting scam is also going on these days. Many fake websites have started giving these consulting gigs and are looking for potential beginner customers like you, so make sure you don’t get entangled in their web of deceit.

turnkey sex toy website are everywhere, and promise for huge payouts like 20-30% if also given

Most novelty adult turnkey sites will never gain organic traffic because all they are doing is spreading the duplicate content. That leads to google penalty and you never gain any free organic traffic.  A website received organic traffic when you follow our Adult SEO complete guide. After you read that massive guide, only then will you realize that all those promises of quick money from selling sex toys online are just a shady scam y these expensive turnkey software

Yes it is possible to make more than $3000-5000 from your sex toy website business, but that needs, expertise, commitment, smartness and also shelling out some money on getting traffic
