Your numbers have all kinds of crazy overhead that just doesn't exist. For instance...9 out of 10 sales we get are type in traffic. Affiliates barely register on sales anymore. So right off the bat your "traffic costs" are wrong.
I would NEVER add 1 scene a day. That's just crazy for a solo girl site. And would quickly burn out our members. Nope...one every couple of weeks has been the key to success for us. Of course we supplement that with a free live cam show every week and member interaction via members area email and a members area "wall" so they are always in touch with CM
Basically what I'm saying is...our overhead is almost non-existant. For every $29.99 sale that is a type in I'm making $27 of it. CM doesn't get paid per scene. And I don't pay the male talent at all. My hosting bill is $1400 every month for ALL my boxes (not just CM)
I bought my gear (lights and cameras) years ago so that is all paid for already (though I do of course upgrade occassionally...but compared to what we make it's nothing)
Just saying...for a solo girl site, there is no need to hire a photographer/videographer or have much of any expenses.
2,000 members and I will profit $500,000 a year. And that's just on paysite sales. Doesn't count all the money that the "fame" brings in on her doing cams. And it doesn't count the money it brings in for her doing appearances at clubs, bachelor parties, etc.
All in all it's easily a cool million a year profit for a "mom and pop" operation like ours with a strong work ethic, the knowledge and skill neccessary, and the talent.
I'm not sure where you think those numbers you posted come from. But for a solo girl site you are putting up WAY too much overhead.
Honestly? I've never crunched the numbers down (my accountant does that). But just looking at Stats Remote and knowing my overhead off the top of my head...I'd say that total overhead is less than 10% (maybe even lower) for us.
