2. What is a good amount of photos per set? I'm thinking somewhere around 75-100 quality pictures
3. A few questions about CCbill..
a) don't they charge something like $700 to start?
b) what are good members management scripts that run well with ccbill?
c) why don't sites accept paypal? Does PP only do non adult which forces people to stay with ccbill?
4. How is retention these days? Assuming I give them exactly what I promise in the tour (no tricks or gimmicks), update content on time like promised and have her do weekly or bi-weekly cam shows, what can I expect for retention? Ballpark figures obviously because I know it also depends on the personality of the girl, how members feel about her, how you tease them and want them coming back for more, etc.
Thanks for the answers! Sorry if some of these questions are dumb

1. If you are a noob you are trying to control costs while figuring if you belong in this business. Either go B-H-E.com (rev share business model. No BW hosting, or processing charges, free strawman CMS), or use SiteDepth ($599.00).
2. Fifty to a hundred.
3.a. Yes. For VISA processing.
b. SiteDepth.
c. Check their T.O.S.. PP does not process for 'virtual' adult goods. Only tangibles. However, it is similar to paying for anything 'virtual'. You find that out when people do a charge back.
4. I can only speak to my niches... foot fetish, tickling, and celebrity. Retention is fine. Some rebill a few months, some rebill forever. Others are one hit wonders, or pop up every 2-3 months.
Ultimately your pay site will play a roll in the retention piece of the equation. Your content. How often you update, etc..
Good luck chief.
