Plug-In Video Content
Written By Titmowse
Like its name implies, Plug In content is as simple to use as plugging a toaster into a wall outlet.
Running a paysite is an awesome task. Shopping for, updating and maintaining the delivery of fresh content to your members is a lot of
work. One of the biggest drains on your server and your bank account is streaming or video content. Moving images in whatever form they take are considered one of those "members only" benefits of adult pay content.
Whether it's porn movies or video feeds, when the pictures move, the price goes up. At this time, the surfer who gets the full enjoyment of streaming content is probably paying more money for a broadband Internet connection. That's because modem connections have a hard and long time downloading large and complicated files like movies. You as a site owner
will be paying more not just to purchase or lease video/streaming content, it will also cost more in your hosting fees. Video costs more to produce, reproduce, store and transfer to a browser. If you could save yourself money and time and still provide the high-shelf content a member's site requires, you would right?
Video plug-ins are pre-made adult movies and video streams that are supplied by a provider. You either rent or lease the plug-in and they are responsible for creating and serving up the product. Instead of you buying adult movies, applying them to webpages and storing those movies on your server, the plug-in provider does that. Your paid members get to
see fresh porn and you get to save bandwidth and overhead.
The way the plug-ins usually work is that you either pay a lease or monthly rental fee to the provider. Some will actually let you link to them for free, but mostly only on a member's area of a paysite.
Free or lease, you are then given a link or a special code to affix to your site. With pay plug-ins especially, you can configure the appearance of
the movie/video player so that it matches the layout of your pay, AVS or even free site. Whatever code or link your plug-in provider will either open up another page, or a pop-up console or new window. Some plug-in codes will open your default system media/movie player. The more that plug-in seamlessly loads from your member's area, the better for you.
Some plug-in adult content providers are:
Plug in video is a smart business expense. The providers of video/streaming plug-ins take care of a huge amount of work for the adult site owner in a professional manner. The only real down side to plug-in video would be if the plug-in were over-used. Make sure your plug-in is updated. You can even lease exclusive video/streaming plug-ins to insure your content is fresh.
