Question on initial investment

05-04-2003, 09:46 PM

Hola,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me an approximate initial investment I'm looking at for starting a paysite.

I have a few great ideas (in my opinion anyhow ;p) for the site, I've contacted someone for the design and I've got some contacts to start off with some traffic.

My question is, should I start with 1 exclusive model and fill the rest of the site with purchased erotica content, or launch the site with 5-10 exclusive models and have only exclusive content? I don't have a lot of money until/if the site works, however I also don't really like the thought of having content that is taken/bought from someplace else.

Another idea is to have an investor I suppose, but I'd like to avoid doing that if possible.

Any comments, feedback would be very welcome.

Ofcourse there is still oney to be made in this industry, especially when you have some unique ideas =)

Besides I've acted in enough content that I think it's time to move on to actually producing my own....;p

You don't know what you are getting yourself into man.

This is not something you wake up and decide to do one day, you really have to know your shit to start a paysite from scratch.

Good luck though.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm definately not new to this.

I've built adult sites before, for few different companies as a web designer....

I've been 'content' for quite a few adult sites.....live and video.

I've attended numerous adult webmaster conventions, hangout fairly often with people still involved in the indurty, etc...

I'm no newbie to the scene =)

My question was simply what are your opinions on launching a new site: only exclusive content versus exclusive and bought content.

Start a thread asking for his help, introduce yourself a bit, and he'll probably contact you. Nobody reads all the threads and you can't blame him for missing this one.

approx. initial investment depends on the type of contentyou are looking for. if you want pro. hardcore it will be a lot more expensive than amateur softcore - but then you would know that being in the content biz ;-)

factor in content costs, hosting cost (over 6 months), marketing costs, design costs, and then remember it will take you about 6 weeks before you get your first check from it, and it wont be that big unless you open it with a bang. but if its your first paysite i suggest you open it quietly, and slowly build traffic - allowing you to change things to improve ratio's and get a feel for it and iron out any teething problems. you'd be pissed if you sent a tonne of expensive traffic to it and realised you had left out something vital.

if you have decent ideas hit me up icq: 39302017 and ill listen :-)

Asking what the initial investment for paysite is like asking how much does a car cost? There's wayyy to many factors to set a price... I know of paysites that were started with $200 and others with $200,000... So, it all depends on what kind of site, what kind of content, how much work you can do yourself, etc....

Nowhere in there did I see you mention that you have alot of traffic built up.. Without that your ideas are fucking useless..

If you have traffic, or alot of people who are willing to help you with traffic, then cool, go for it.. Its really not as easy as it used to be though.. dont expect to make any money for at least 6 months to a year though, because of the constant turn around investments..

Yes theres still money, but that money is harder to come by..
