    how much to start a paysite

    how much money is needed to start a decent paysite with some exclusive photos. Nothing huge for a start but something to keep people stay members.

        this is a very general question

        number 1 in most cases you wont be able to convert just a photo site or retain just a photo site in these days.

        Prepare upfront for say 3 months updates (weekly update)

        Depends what niche

        Quality of girls you want

        etc.

        tell us more

        it can cost anywhere from 25K to several 100K depending on many many things

          This question is way to broad, it can be way different per person and per niche.

            i know the laws and everything envolved with a paysite but I just wanted other peoples input on how much they would spend on starting a paysite.


            I allready ahve some paysites jsut want to see what other people are willing to spend that's all.

                $10k minimum, assuming you're doing almost all the work.. and assuming you're not hiring a lawyer and assuming you cut as many corners as possible

                  We may have a solution for you. Our site is engineered to have multiple front-ends for a common backend. It is also designed to show exclusives on only a particular domain.

                  We can discuss you using our non-exclusive content (50K+) as the filler for your exclusives. We could so some kind of revshare or something so you don't have anything out of pocket. If interested, email me at webmaster - greatgirls - com

                    It can be done quite cheap all depends how exclusive you wish to be i have some exclusive content that i take and then i have content that every tom dick n harry has. to fill in gaps. The min i think you need to be approved by billing company i think is about 700 images so it could be done on $100 but be shit and retain zero members.

                        for a noob??? it can be done:

                        paysite design and marketing materials = 1,500.00
                        custom exclusive content (vids and pics, 16 scenes) = 12,800.00
                        hosting (setup/1st month) = 750.00
                        html labor/scripting = 1,000.00
                        marketing (start) = 2,000.00

                        = under 20k


                        or you can do a cookie cutter/plugin site for around 6k

                          cookie cutter site under 1K (or else there would not be a million cookie cutter sites)

                          You forgot to include 3 months worth of updates, why go exclsuive if you wont have weekly updates.

                            Design - $0.00 (if you do it yourself)
                            Content - $0.00 (if you steal it)
                            Traffic - $0.00 (if you use your own existing sources)

                            Thats the lil2rich way.

                            Design - Between $200 and $1000 depending on who you use
                            Content - $500 (for the absolute minimum of say 100 sets)
                            Traffic - $0.00 (if you use your existing traffic base

                            Thats the midbie way.

                            Design - $10k (for multiple sites with multiple promo content)
                            Content - $10k (for multiple sets and multiple types)
                            Traffic - $10k (if you are going to have other webmasters traffic)

                            Thats the oldbie way.

                            Choose the way you think will work best for you.

                            Paysites can be started for less than $500 (look at these amateur cam girl sites) but to operate a good affiliate program with multiple sites and all that jazz you could run anywhere from 10k to 50k realistically.

                              It can be done for as little as hosting and the domain name and up from there. I have gone out, found girls that wanted their own website, did the photo and video shoots, did the programming and webdesign. Then marketed it. The girl would get a percentage of the profits for the website. As long as money was coming in, they would do new photoshoots and videos each month. Some will even do the 900# and live chat w/ video.

                              It all depends on how creative you on getting things done and what you know (sometimes who you know).

                                design, scripts, content, hosting, lawyers, all that shit is a waste unless you have a HUGE marketting budget or knowhow

                                you can have a $700,000.00 car, but without people to look at it and envy you, is it really worth it?

                                if i had $30k to blow on a site, id might drop it like this ...

                                design/scripting $4k
                                content $15k
                                hosting $1k
                                marketting $10k

                                  what i meant was what it would take to get a site going without lifting one finger on the project. of course if you get cheap hosting, do the site yourself, all plugins and dont spend a dime on marketing its only going to cost 1k. even less.

                                    = under 20k

                                    or you can do a cookie cutter/plugin site for around 6k
                                    Or you could not go for exclusive, mainly focus on content blowouts, sobe content and stuff like that. That's $5k for a crapload of porn.
                                    Design it yourself, go for something simple and clean, that's 2 days of work.
                                    Hosting... use something like vibehost. $400 per month for 10mbps, no setup costs.
                                    HTML labor/scripting... pretty cheap if you do most yourself, and just don't use the things which save you some time a day.
                                    Marketing... use guerilla marketing, and add to that the $2000 you mentioned.

                                    There, now you have a site that can do fairly well and has more content than 90% of the sites out there for under $7500.

                                      2rich is soo right, we have a kick ass site but cant afford advertising. It's expensive!
                                      too lazy to find advertising for this sig space

                                        design/scripting $4k
                                        content $15k
                                        hosting $1k
                                        marketting $10k

                                        seeing that you cant do any of those things yourself i guess... build the site yourself and save yourself 4k. also, 5k should be plenty to get you up and running for marketing.

                                          You can open a few paysites and a money program for 5k these days if you do a big bulk of the work.

                                          Drop the pictures, go with videos with screensnaps.
