About the Company

‍

Martin Moore is the founder of TechySex, a website dedicated to sexual wellness and sex toy reviews. The platform aims to provide answers to questions about sexuality that people might feel too shy to ask. Through his work, Martin seeks to foster a more open and informed conversation around sexual health and pleasure.

Unexpectedly finding himself an expert in the field, Martin now curates a popular list of the best automatic male masturbators, which has become one of the most visited pages on his website. His journey into this niche market demonstrates how life's twists and turns can lead to unplanned yet fulfilling paths.

Martin is particularly fascinated by the innovations in the sex tech industry, such as sex toys that synchronize with virtual reality video content. These cutting-edge developments inspired the name of his website, reflecting the intersection of technology and sexual wellness.

Currently, TechySex generates around $5,000 per month on average. Despite being a young business, it holds significant growth potential, and Martin is excited about the future possibilities in this ever-evolving market.

Idea Behind Company

‍

TechySex began many years ago when Martin Moore first encountered a sex toy, a Fleshlight sleeve, which sparked his fascination. Over time, he became an enthusiast with a deep knowledge of various sex toys, able to recommend products to different types of users. Despite his growing collection and expertise, he initially kept his passion private.

As Martin delved deeper into the world of sex toys, he noticed a significant curiosity among people, as evidenced by Google Trends. This realization highlighted a gap in accessible, reliable information about sexual wellness. While pursuing his degree, Martin identified a lack of freelance writers specializing in this niche. He quickly secured gigs on various freelance platforms, working as a ghostwriter for four to five years with a range of brands, blogs, and even erotic fiction writers.

Martin's extensive experience made him well-suited for the industry, though he never considered creating his own project. His girlfriend's suggestion to start his own blog sparked the idea. After researching the market and discovering a dearth of quality information on sex toys and sexual wellness, Martin realized there was a significant opportunity. The onset of the pandemic provided him with the time needed to develop the blog, with his girlfriend, a web developer, creating the site within a day.

The initial setup of TechySex was straightforward, starting as a simple WordPress blog with SEO optimization plugins. Martin focused on sexual education and sex toy reviews, areas where he had substantial experience. Despite the challenge of working without financial returns for six months, Martin remained dedicated to his vision. The initial costs were minimal, with the primary investment being time spent writing and editing. While outsourcing content creation could save time, Martin recognized that high-quality content requires a significant investment.

Creating the Company

‍

It all began with a simple WordPress blog, launched within a day and optimized using several SEO plugins. Martin Moore's first posts focused on sexual education and sex toy reviews, leveraging his extensive experience in the field. This natural affinity for the subject matter made content creation smooth and engaging from the start.

Despite the ease of writing, working on a project without immediate financial return for about six months can be quite frustrating. However, Martin believed in the potential of his idea and remained committed to its success. The initial costs of setting up the website were minimal, approximately ten dollars for the domain and a similar amount for web hosting, making the primary investment the time spent writing and editing content.

For those looking to follow a similar path, Martin notes that hiring a writer can save time but comes at a higher cost, as quality content is rarely cheap. His experience underscores the importance of dedication and belief in the long-term value of one's work, regardless of the initial financial challenges.

Launching the Business

The launch of TechySex was quite informal, with the blog initially attracting only 0-2 visitors per day. Martin Moore focused intensely on writing to fill the blog with quality content, understanding the importance of SEO for organic traffic. Each post was at least 2000 words long, aiming to create a comprehensive and presentable site. His initial investment in the website was minimal, covering only the domain and hosting costs, while the real investment was his time and effort, resulting in very little to no income during the first year.

Reflecting on the early days, Martin acknowledges that investing in ads could have accelerated the blog's visibility. However, he realized that advertising without sufficient content would have been ineffective, as visitors are unlikely to trust a sparsely populated blog. Martin believes that focusing on a super narrow niche from the start would have been more strategic, avoiding the issue of having empty categories that make a blog appear abandoned.

Moreover, Martin advises careful ad settings to avoid wasting money on irrelevant keywords. The initial phase, with almost no financial return for about six months, was frustrating but essential for the blog's foundation. His belief in the blog's potential kept him motivated, despite the slow start. The early organic traffic was minimal, underscoring the challenges of building an audience from scratch without immediate financial support.

Earnings

The best way to attract visitors to the blog is through quality content, which continues to be the primary draw for readers who find the site via organic search results. Martin Moore emphasizes the importance of writing with in-depth insights while keeping the content accessible for beginners. He advises bloggers to never skip the basics, even if it means repeating information, as most readers arrive at the blog to learn from scratch. Ensuring the content is visually appealing on both desktop and mobile devices is also crucial, with professional-looking photos and diagrams enhancing the overall presentation.

Direct visits to the website constitute the second largest source of traffic, indicating that visitors find genuine value in the content. Martin has recently begun investing in advertising and social media to further boost the blog's visibility, though it is too early to assess the results. Despite these new initiatives, the foundation of the blog remains high-quality, informative content tailored to the audience's needs. The future looks promising, with plans to expand the blog's reach and continue enhancing its content.

Currently, Martin handles most of the writing, with a few other contributors occasionally adding posts. The website is profitable, with organic traffic and affiliate commissions forming the bulk of the income. Sponsored content and partnerships with industry leaders also contribute to the revenue. Martin stresses the importance of staying true to oneself and only recommending products he genuinely likes and uses. This integrity has helped build trust with readers and partners alike. Looking ahead, Martin aims to find new ways to increase income and expand the team, focusing on sustainable growth and maintaining the blog's value and integrity.
