1. Will 50k be enough for the whole project?
2. I don't need anyone to build me tours or galleries or banners ads...because I'm planning to do it myself. I've worked for a company building tours and running the sites so i kinda know what I'm doing.
3. What are visa fees?? ccbill processing setup fees?
4. I want to have at least 200-250 models with 4-5 pic sets each and 4 vid sets 5-6 mins each. Addition 50models for updates considering I do about 1 or 2 model updates every 2 days or so. I've learnt and praticed photography from a friend the pass 2 months and if worst come I'll fly over wherever the models are at and shoot them myself if that would save me alot of $$$. BTW how much is the average cost of an amateur teen model in prague or buddapest for hire to do photoshoots?.
5. I have skills in photo touch ups and video editing so all the content will be processed in house.
6. I am planning to go with ccbill. Is it a one time fee of 2k or something to get setup with them?
7. What else do i need?!?
Let's say worse come 1 year down the road my paysite bombs. Would I even get %50 of the $$$ invested back selling all my exclusive pics and vids?
If all goes well I can probably get the site launched by the end of this year or even early. Anyways any tips and oppunions are appreciated.  THanks

My only thought is your 50K is beyond low if you think you want to start with 200 sets. figure your minimum shooting cost on each model at $1000 (model fees and everything wrapped in). Your first month on bandwidth for traffic and if you post your own galleries will be at least 5K (I wouldn't recommend going the free posting route.. buy a spot at a good place, otherwise you will be wasting content on a low number of members).
50K should buy you 20 models, use the rest for bandwidth, advertising, advertising and advertising. Pray that it's enough.. but I wouldn't bet on it.
