I've been thinking of starting a paysite with my gf (
https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-business-discussion/893517-tossing-starting-paysite-gf.html), and I think i'm going to give it a shot.
I've decided i'm going to keep it relatively small, ideally i'd like to keep it around 100+ members (I won't complain if I end up getting a lot more), but this will also limit her exposure because she's not sure how good her family would react if found.
Anyway, I put together a little checklist of what I would need..
- Hosting (check - however still open to better deals)
- Photographer (check)
- Security Log-in system
- Content Management System
- Possible Affiliate Management System
My brother is a programmer, so i'm tempted to have him whip me up some type of simple log-in system and just have me manually throw a video and/or picture set up like twice a week and do probably a weekly cam show.
What i'm wondering however, why would I want to pay a few hundred one time (or 200/month for ElevatedX), when I can just do that myself? I understand ElevatedX would be great for the large paysites, but would I really need one for a small amateur site? If so, are there any cheap ones out there that do the job?
Also, am I missing something with my checklist?
