    Cost?

    How much did it cost you to start up your site? (Just the starup)
    For me so far it's about $200, and I'm pratically finished, even bought content.

    $200?

    did you steal the content, copy someone else's design, and put your pages on geocities?

        I got my pictures from Adult Legal, I got "super pack 1" and a video clip pack. It was over 5000 pix. But just like a few vids.

        I'll keep everyone updated, I already feel that a lot of people in the adult biz don't want to help out newbies by saying "it's not worth it" or "it'll cost $20k to startup". I'll break that bullshit talk ;) It'll just take me a lot of hard work.

          It doesn't take 20K but $200 isn't even gonna get you set up with a processing company (it is a paysite right?). I got started for about $5,000 but I did EVERYTHING (HTML, design, photography, male talent, photo/video editing, gallery building, etc.) myself. Now my bitches (ie. affiliates) find my customers and we're all making the big bucks and living the dream, baby!

            Cost me $10k and I had all the content myself. But I had to pay other people to set it up for me, (design etc)

            For $200 I would have been able to get set up for a thumbnail gallery page

              It can be real cheap if you have the content and can do all the design & server setup yourself. If your site is of any decent size its an assload of work though. I started editing & cutting all my own video clips a few months ago.. holy shit it is tedious.

                okay guys he means a paysite . i know who u are don't need to be in disguise geek

                This guy is NOT willing to invest into a paysite. To BOot a Mainstream Porn Star One.........

                200 buks that ain't gonna do nothing is all i have to say that may pay for some hosting i guess , I told you several friggen times unless u shoot ur own movies/content or have crazy exclusive shit hooked up from someone cheap there's no ifs, whats or buts sink money and you shall make money if your lucky that is , take it from us ur 2 month being in the industry knowledge is weak still kid . No affence

                  He he .. I got started with less than 100 with my paysite

                  1. Content shoot by myself (sold it several times and gained back the money payed to models, so it costed me 0 USD)

                  2. Site made by myself : 0 usd

                  3. Processor with a little help from my friends .. also pretty little in USD.

                  4. Advertising in my other sites + signaturea in a lot of message boards .. also came cheap ..

                  5. Affiliate program will come pretty soon ..

                  so .. I guess that if you are determined to do it yourself can get it pretty cheap

                    If hes talking about a free site, $200 is alot of money, if you can do the design yourself

                                You have to spend it to make it.

                                In both time and money as well as continously reinventing your ideas and changing lanes in the road of the adult biz.

                                Good luck

                                  Mine is a paysite.
                                  This is where my money went:

                                  -$26 for domain names (three)
                                  -$25 hosting
                                  -$150 content

                                  I did all the design by myself, and I signed up with Probilling. Done and done.

                                        Why do you say that Probilling will be gone? There are always other payment processors.

                                          By the way, why is everyone laughing at my investment? How come you're not laughing at the other people who made a smaller investment and still made it good?

                                              Don't listen to em dude. You can always use that $200 to make a simple site that can make you enough cash to launch everything else. $99 will buy you thousands of east European babe pictures. Sometimes it's not all about the quality, if you use your imagination and put a little spin on the site you can make it a bored housewife personals site where each set has a bio and fake contact info. You don't even have to make it pretty. Actually, the less ritzy the design, the bette it will convert!

                                              There's always another way to do things that don't cost money. Remember, people sell dirt and get rich! With a little bit of creative packaging that dirt becomes an natural mud mask with "Mother Earth's natural rejuvinating vitamins" that sells for $30 a jar. If people can sell friggin dirt imagine what you could do with even the worst set of content!!

                                              I must add this, you are better off using an avs with the little bit of money you have but it is very possible to do it the other way. Hosting doesn't cost much. You can get a dedicated server for $89 with 600 gigs of transfer. $99 for he content and Probilling is still in business. You can stil make free sites, galleries & AVS sites for funneling trafic so what else do ya need?
                                              I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

You can always use that $200 to make a simple site that can make you enough cash to launch everything else. $99 will buy you thousands of east European babe pictures. Sometimes it's not all about the quality, if you use your imagination and put a little spin on the site you can make it a bored housewife personals site where each set has a bio and fake contact info. You don't even have to make it pretty. Actually, the less ritzy the design, the bette it will convert!

                                                  There's always another way to do things that don't cost money. Remember, people sell dirt and get rich! With a little bit of creative packaging that dirt becomes an natural mud mask with "Mother Earth's natural rejuvinating vitamins" that sells for $30 a jar. If people can sell friggin dirt imagine what you could do with even the worst set of content!!

                                                  I must add this, you are better off using an avs with the little bit of money you have but it is very possible to do it the other way. Hosting doesn't cost much. You can get a dedicated server for $89 with 600 gigs of transfer. $99 for he content and Probilling is still in business. You can stil make free sites, galleries & AVS sites for funneling trafic so what else do ya need?
                                                  Thanks for beating me to it. These people crack me up sometimes.

She’s not mine. God has her set aside. She’s not mine. She’s His little girl, and she needs me to fight for her by keeping my eyes where they should be."
