That's the cruncher. Since day one the Internet has largely been unable to pay what offline pays for content.The exceptions are those with in house content producers usually partners or bosses. No one paid consistently what magazines or DVD companies paid for the product. Until online killed off offline and removed the option.
Unless you pay the top producers the right money you will never get the content needed to turn a surfer into a member, get him to stay a member and to return. Just sending more traffic doesn't change the situation.
Today who works at sending traffic to sites that don't convert, who works at sending traffic to porn sites like they did in 2006. What's changed? Tubes have arrived with 100,000s of free videos and the traffic followed the content.
If traffic were king, content would still get the same traffic, still convert the same and you wouldn't be changing how you work.

I keep wondering what makes you think you're capable of explaining to anyone how to make money.
with what you've brought to the line, it's enough to just survive in a shabby house on a cheap village in CZ. how much on the ground would someone have to be who considers that worthwhile?
I don't think you ever get to the point where you're embarrassing yourself, right?
what keeps you from taking 2 or 3 hundred a thousand euro into your hands - to get 4 or 5 young, fresh people and tell them how they earn money? as the owner of such a company you would earn super with all your knowledge, wouldn't you?
but it just starts with the fact that you don't have 2 or 3 hundred thousand euro for it - which already tells a lot about your success story so far.
you also won't find anyone who will give you 2 or 3 hundred thousand euro for it, because people who have it to risk it as venture capital would run away after 2 minutes if they heard you talking.
you want to teach people how to climb mountains and have never seen a mountain before - and that really makes you the clown of this board
