McCabre...i love it.

Violet, its not so difficult to do a paysite, here are some basics.
1)get a good web host for VPS (virtual private server which is less expensive but great) or Dedicated Hosting. I suggest Amerinoc (see my signature) who are quite dependable and fast with customer response.
2)you could simply shop around for a web designer to do your site or take a little time and buy some software like dreamweaver and make your own site. there is plenty of good inexpensive software for making websites nowadays.
3)CMS - content management system for the members area. i know alot of people just do straight html, so if its a relatively small paysite you can use normal html pages easily, but if its huge i would recommend a more involved CMS.
4)getting traffic to your site- obviously you already have clips for sale accounts so you can post your website there, but you should also consider adding a few domain names to your hosting account and doing sites and blogs you can submit and trade traffic with other sites. this will also help getting you on search engines because if you have a small network of sites pointing to your paysite you can have multiple keywords getting ranked to help with traffic to your paysite.

these are just some basic things you need, the point is you might kiss 50 percent of your profit goodbye by taking on a partner, when in reality you can do it yourself.
you have the power!
