This is in response to the thread titled: "How much do sponsors really profit off a $35 payout?"
I found all of your point of views very interesting, and i learned a great deal from it.
One question i was left with:
If you own a paysite (not a sponsor program) lets say its a single girl amateur site.
You dont update often, but you also dont expect rebills either.
You charge a flat fee of like $29.99 to $39.99 for monthly membership, no trials.
The main promotion will be done by you, by buying traffic, SE listings, galleries, avs, etc.
Can this type of situation be profitable?
Ive never owned A paysite, nor do i plan on it anytime soon ... just curious to know how harsh rebills can be.
Figure someone throws up maybe 10k images, few hours of downloadable vids. Now your looking at the cost of all that exclusive content (assuming you cant shoot it yourself) as well as any hosting and processing fee's.
On one hand it seems like a profitable situation, yet on the other hand it seems like it would take a while to develop enough marketting strategies to make it even remotely profitable.
Any feedback on this?

There are also companies, Like us and Lightspeed (more out there as well) that can handle the promotion of single girl sites and they can be even more profitable.
