Honestly I don't think you need capital to do a good site, just spend some manhours building traffic and a few $$$'s on a great design.

And how are you going to get the content, steal it?

Decide on the site niche you want to launch with. Then look around the net at what others are offering.
Work on the basis that most surfers will want a minimum of 10 similar sets a day to look at and two new sets a day update, unless you're doing exclusive which will cost ten times the price.
So you need somewhere arond 300 sets or videos plus 60 sets to update 2 a day for a month. 360 sets that are not crap, saturated on a content blowout and been on the net already for 12 months will cost somewhere between $30 and $50 each.
Don't go to one seler as you need a few different interpretations of the same niche/style. So looking at $40 x 360 - you are looking at around $15,000. Start up.
What ever discounts you can negotiate, and remeber good content providers are still selling and not giving it away, you can spend on hosting, design, programming, etc.
Will be a few months until you generate enough income to be adding new content from the profit, so budget for content on a basis ov 60 sets a month at $40 = $2400. Another $10,000. So something around $15,000 with no updates and $25,000 with them.
If you are not signing up enough people after four months to afford adding content from the profits maybe you should try something another business.
What I'm thinking is with this new very well paid job are you going to find the time to run a paysite? Or do you think when it's set up it runs itself.
