Our breakdown for a solid exclusive paysite is this:
15 Scenes to launch at 1500.00/scene: $22,500.00
10 quality DVD's of the same niche at 300.00/DVD: $3000.00
Editing and encoding to include all promo content: $6250.00
Site design which includes 2 page tour, 2 FPA, 2 HPA, various banners, 3 Mailer ads, 2 video FHG templates, 2 pic FHG templates: $5000.00
Programming: $1200.00
Jr Webmaster labor: $1000.00
Advertising for 1 month: $5000.00
Total cost: $43,950.00
Now don't forget you need 4 scenes per month for updates which is a cost of about $7500.00/month every month.
I left out all the admin stuff because it varies but as you can see, to do it right, you better have around 75k for an exclusive site because it will take you around 90 days from launch just to break even and that is if it is a solid site.
Hope that helps. Good luck

If you can't do half the stuff you listed up there on your own for free...then you shouldn't call yourself a webmaster. Help doesn't need to be hired until you can afford it. DVD's aren't necessary at first. Scenes could be had for cheaper. Editing and encoding aren't that hard to do. Knock about 10-20k off your estimate. And you forgot about bandwith costs...
