Just wanted to post my first topic, and pick some brains if ya'll don't mind.
I've been researching this biz for a few weeks now (This board and various links thrown out have been extremely helpful). I went from not knowing jack squat...to having at least a better understanding of how this biz can be fun, but a lot of hard; dedicated work in the meantime (that wasn't my initial perception).
Anyway, I am trying to figure out what would be the most logical steps to get something off the ground. Please offer some comments about my initial plan:
1. Bought the domain name (pretty obvious 1st step)
2. Made a mock-up design (posted below)
3. I was planning on building a paysite, but this is where I am not exactly sure if I would be going about this the right way.
4. I was planning on buying content from the various providers, then signing up with an affiliate or two (AdultPlat

) then I was planning on saturating TGPs with galleries and hoping to convert at least well enough to be able to purchase more & more content until I have enough to start making a paysite.
5. In the process, I will also see what I can do to land some custom shoots for some REAL exclusive material.
6. But, I don't know. A part of me also says FUCK IT just make a TGP...but there seems to be sooooo many.
Please post your thoughts. It would be much appreciated.
Here is a sample of my design so far. Please note that the photos used in the design are just for mock-up purposes. Any photos that I use in the final design which goes online will be completely authorized.
