1. You can hire a model for $100-250.00 and get 5-10 scenes out of them. I did not say HQ porn. I said original content.
2. You do not need a fancy CMS to start. You can do PornCMS or MechBunny or even WP.
3. You do not need an affiliate program, or the hassles, if you can drive your own traffic.
That said, I am not saying you are going to have an easy go doing it all on the cheap. I am not saying I recommend trying to do everything on the pennies plan as there is endless frustrations doing it this way. I am simply saying that it can be done. It will take you a lot longer to scale up doing this method, but you can easily shoot your own content and start a clip store with $1000-3000.00 between models and used equipment. Once you start making some money over a period of time, you launch a pay site, and then scale up from there. Add in more pay sites, shoot or purchase semi exclusive content, make a network pass, and so on and so forth.
I did not say it would be easy, nor that you will be a millionaire doing it this way. But you can make a decent living if you treat it like a job, and with minimal investment at the start. It will take a lot of hard work, and you will have to put in the hours to learn, tweak, trial and error. But you can be working full time in this industry as a start up.
All of this considered, I feel few have what it takes to make it in this business from a work ethic point of view. For every 100 who try, maybe a handful will make it. Not because of the business climate so much as the fact they just do not have the drive and work ethic to make it work.
