For a paysite, having a site network in the background will make things alot easier. No need to grow a single TGP start with freesites, blogs, linksites to connect them, autoupdating small tgps, build a little empire of sites that don't require much maintenance, grow your search engine traffic.

Paysites are a mass business, especially in popular niches like teens, you don't make much per member after deducting all costs for content, billing, webmasters (and building a webmaster base that sends more than a join here and there takes time), hosting...so you need ALOT of members to be successful, especially since content costs don't depend on the number of members you have, so the more members, the more you'll have left for your pocket per member.

I know a bunch of webmasters who thought starting a paysite would be like printing money...they invested alot and can barely cover their monthly costs, not talking about the money invested upfront.
