Personally I prefer exclusive content. I've made TONS of money promoting sites that have exclusive content....they convert and retain better.

However, there are some programs out there that are very successful that only use purchased and leased content in their paysites.

The reason most non-exclusive sites fail is because they're created by newbies, who buy a "content blowout" deal and then get a $400 paysite design and then do nothing but submit TGP galleries and try to get people to sign up for their 50/50 CCbill program.
That's not a business plan that's very likely to succeed.

If you go non-exclusive because you can't AFFORD to go exclusive, then the odds are you won't be successful.

Whether you go exlusive or not you should have enough traffic of your own, or money to buy traffic, to support the site on your own without having any affiliates.
A paysite should not be your first project in this business. You need to be successful at other things first.
