edit: Forest beat me to it.
the average value per member = 400.00 - 800.00 w/ no other upsells to members. can be considerably higher if you are selling DVDs and other stuff.
and... thats not "opinion"
;)
but before anyone jumps on the "hey man, what the fuck, i want more money" train - remember there are high bandwidth costs, you have to have full time programmers, models want 1/2, webmasters want 1/2, site owners want 1/2, repeat users want discounts, and fraud is a challenge to deal with (most chargebacks i ever saw from 1 guy - just over 6K).
if you can get paid 100.00 per join... and have all the tools you have today to promote that site, with the total volume of models online (affects conversions/retention) that they have... then you are much better off doing that than trying to start your own site.
