Here are my figures, they are rough and kept to a minimum.

Stills Camera. $1,300
Video Camera $1,000
Studio Flash lights. $500
Flash metre. $300
Props, $20 a week, $1,000 a year.
Photography books. $100

Total $4,200

Location. $80 a time time 25 = $2,000

Models $300 to $500 a day for solo girl.
One a week $20,000 a year.

Total $24,200

Shooting six sets or videos a day = 300 a year @ $80 each

Correcting/editing 2 days a week + 1 day shooting = 3 days.
3 days at $200 a day = $600 a week another $100 per video.

Total cost $180 per set or video.

This is a minimum budget that would be hard to keep within, but I did it to show bare minmum, so $360 for a solo girl image set and video. That with the best will in the world will be poor. No one can get into a car and drive it shoting porn is harder than driving a car.

How well that will convert your members or sell to other paysites is anyones guess. The first year most people are learning how to cope with the shooting and do not develope a style or technique, so the content will look like every other newbie shooter on a limited budget and experience.
