Interesting... has this program been sold yet? If so, how much did it go for and/or what is the asking price considering it does over $1mil in sales but only actually generates $1500 in profit? Slightly off topic but what would be a reasonable asking price for such a site?

Back to the topic, although I can't give any numbers because I've never owned a program, from what I'm reading, one needs to consider not only the cost involved in opening a paysite but also the period that it takes to recoup that investment. Alex stated around 90 days for him to break even on a $75k investment into a paysite. Before opening a site you have to ask yourself, do I have enough funds/traffic to keep me above water during those 90 days before I can begin reaping profits. At least that would be very important for me if I was considering opening a site. It would be a shame to have a great site open only to close it before turning a profit.
