Also, why would anyone give 10 bucks or more for a clip if you can buy whole archive for $29.95 or something like that?
I am not talking about sites with thousands of members. I am thinking about niche sites because there is so much good fetish content on clips4sale (from my experience members of those sites rebill for a long time). And costs are really low to start some kind of paysite. You can run memeber zone on wordpress,use cheap hosting and invest in pasword protection software. Still better then not having your own site.(if we assume that there is content already available).

Precisely. Running a paysite at a profit is a piece of piss. If you have the right content.
You don't need 1,000s of affiliates bleating they don't have enough 10 minute free hosted Tube clips, so they can sell ads to dating sites.
Telling you they want a size banner you don't have and they want it yesterday.
Telling you they want sample content with their domain on it and they want $40 a sign up. Or more.
Running a paysite is a piece of piss. Looking after good affiliates isn't that hard. Looking after the dead beat affiliates, is a ton of work and f you tell them to
they post all about it on the boards.
Running it on WordPress is a lot of work IMO. Depends if you have the money for a CMS that does the work for you or have the time to do the work and cant afford a few grand.
