There are too many variables.
How long is it going to take that person from scratch to get to the point of launch, thats one of the biggest things because you have to pay yourself somehow in that time. If you factor in that as a cost, the overall cost goes up alot. Unless you are collecting EI or disability or some other avenue that requires no time/effort to accumulate that money. You are most likely burning through your own money. And people always underestimate how long it takes from first step.
Hardcore or softcore, amateur or professional style content. Exclusive/semi exclusive/non exclusive. Purchasing or producing yourself. How much content do you launch with. The amount somebody launches with varies so much. Ive seen anywhere from 5 sets to 50-100 sets. Solo, you can get away with less. Partnership with the model (solo) or paying models out right. How long you shoot at a time. When you shoot day by day, location costs go up more than if you were to rent a place for a month and shoot everyday.
What you already have, do you have your own equipment or do you need to purchase that, you supply wardrobe or models do? Are you a producer or do you have to hire one everytime you shoot?
The less you know about affiliates and who to goto, the more money you spend on a marketing budget for bringing in organic traffic/sales
I could go on and on but you get the point.
Though im sure if you gave a specific plan, it'd be easy to give a good accurate estimation.
