Where to advertise NSFW games? How to get more traffic?

So I get a little bit of traffic on Itch but nothing like the first week or so when releasing the game. Any ideas on where the best places are to advertise to get more traffic? I know it is not the easiest thing to advertise because of the adult content. I also think there should be a different way of showing games on Itch if they are actively being developed. If a game is in development, maybe it should get a monthly boost of visibility if a Major Develog has been posted. Any help would really be appreciated. Are there any NSFW review sites? Not sure how they would show game content if its like on Youtube... 

Thanks,

Beta

ayo?

You have to advertise as much as possible and try keep your products at the forefront. Social media is a good tool. I know what you mean when you release something you get a spike in traffic then it dies off. 

I guess I can just make a SFW advertisement and just warn that it’s not safe in it. I will try that.  What like instagram ? What are the best social platforms? Unfortunately I am not great at social media.

FYI if your games are playable in the browser, you can also post your adult games on Newgrounds

I recommend related subreddits such as

https://www.reddit.com/r/NSFWgaming/

https://www.reddit.com/r/adultgamedev/

Lastly, if you want a ton of views (like thousands in a few days), then advertise your game on F95Zone. NOTE, this is a pirated game forum so even though the views are 10x, expect them to grab and share the paid version of your game for free.

Thank you I will try those spots . Not sure it will run in browsers. It’s like 9 gigs atm. It’s almost 100% videos 

As for F95zone yea someone posted an early version of my game. It’s very strange to see your work posted from someone else lol. I guess I can post it there and maybe get a few normal people who can spare 4 bucks. I mean a cup of coffee is like 6 bucks and takes 1 minute to make.

you can report the thread and in the report, request to take control of the game thread so you can post your game updates there. Don’t need to make a new game thread (you’ll be asked to take control of your game thread anyways). Join the F95 discord if you need help taking over your game thread.

I had a name change to the game from the original f95 one. I haven’t check though if someone posted the new name/game . I will do like you said though and ask for control of the post if it’s there. Going to work on it this weekend.  

Thank you,

it should get a monthly boost of visibility if a Major Develog has been posted

Btw your game does get a major visibility boost (it gets bumped to the top in Recent tab, also a strong ranking boost in all categories) when you post a major devlog. However, for this boost to take effect, a moderator will first have to manually go over your devlog before they can decide. So make sure to format your dev log nicely and list out all new changes, basically try to convince the mod that will be reading your update.

oh wow I didn’t know that. I will start adding more details to the Dev log post. Thank you! Usually I try to keep it kinda vague so I don’t spoil anything but I can put like how many videos I added and that kind of thing.  Generic details
