We set up a company called AdultSite Leasing years ago and built a 'Sex Emporium' called the LoveGirl site with all the bells and whistles - hundreds of pages, great design, graphics, navigation, thousands of pictures, and links to the best adult features & services.
Rather than trying to produce, manage, update and maintain all the content ourselves, we believed that sharing profits with sites that already specialize in the best adult content was the way to go. We provided traffic through our leased sites, and shared revenue with the content providers. This allowed us to offer the best adult content on the Web without the hassle of site updating and maintenance.
We then made up a sales video, fancy brochure, contracts etc. to _lease_ customized versions of the Lovegirl site to investors. The site leasees would publicize their site, and after a sign up fee of $2,500, we would take 20% of the revenue and the investors got 80%.
We actually received quite a good reception, but it didn't do that well. After leasing half a dozen customized sites we found that the leasees didn't fulfill their obligation of buying a minimum amount of advertising per month, so we shut it down. The whole thing cost us about $100K.
The site is at
