You are not going to find a lot of help on gfy, sorry, for serious business questions. Stick to drama and flaming other people and it will be good.

But seriously when I started my first pay site 3 years ago I didn't know shit, and yet it was modestly sucessful and generated over 100K annualy within 1 year.

Which just goes to show that if you have a good idea and great content being cluless is not a complete obstacle.

The most important things you need are:

-- Great exclusive content, the key to it all
-- Video splitting/cutting/encoding software. It has to be batch automated like Cleaner XL if you'd like to have a life also.
-- Good designer
-- Good webmaster
-- Merchant account w/Netbilling or 3rd party CCbill. Start with CCbill, an Internet merchant account for porn takes 2-3 months and they want to see at least 50K a year (preferably more) to want to bother.
-- Good cheap hosting
-- Defintely some sort of CMS. Can be home brewed scripts that is what I use - drop each week's work info into a database and the members section is updated automatically.
-- Good marketing plan

Lots and Lots and Lots more, its why people don't take the question seriously, its kind like asking "How do I build a house"?
