Once she's giving up 50% she might as well consider if doing 5k a month is just as worth it and keeping complete control of her site. That was the point I was trying to make. I don't think that hold true for every model -- or even most models -- but I do for her.
It is very hard these days in this niche. Unless a girl has no interest in MFC, then it's probably not even worth her time to be involved in a solo site.

Bryci was launched in 07 or so. No later than 08. And yes thats one of the more recent bigger sites, shows yeah something when somebody asks for recent and a 2007-2008 site is what you can name. Since then Katie Banks, Talia Shepherd, AvaDawn, etc haven't done much. I mean they do decent and he knows what hes doing. But as far as numbers youre talking about. Nope.
10k is gross a month, not net. Net is 7k a month.
So its either she gets 3500 a month which is 40k a year like i said.
OR
4-5k (which isnt even likely) a month with these costs:
wowza - 50-60 a month
security software - 50 a month
hosting - 300 a month
full time webmaster help - 1500-2500 a month (pay for a webmaster to do everything for you for a couple months until its up, who would that be? that wouldn't ask for a percent? after doing all the ground work and if you did, it sure wouldn't be cheap. i dont believe this model who was screwed from payments has crazy capital to be paying employees outright before its launched)
affiliate software - 150 a month
her paysite design - 1500
her program design - ?? she could make a default ugly one with no customization
integrated tour - 1000
cms - 50-150 a month
editing of 30 sets and 20 videos to start - from my experience, more than 1k for sure
on top of this, paying her photographer.
Then build up an affiliate database that is 50 percent of other peoples.
Sorry how much is she left with?
Given 7k is for the best programs out there, lets say this non existing webmaster gets her 5k a month (also not happening) - that'd leave her with pennies
Established programs can profit more easily with solo paysites because the costs are lower because they run multiple girls and are already paying for things such as cms/affiliate software/hosting, etc etc
That combined with a large established affiliate database makes it the right option for all models
