In general it is true that single girl sites done by the model herself, do poorly. A variety of reasons - usually the model has an unrealistic opinion of her marketability, the web site is bad, the shooting is bad, no marketing or technical expertise, etc. I know about a dozen attractive models that bombed out on that route, often pressured by greedy webmasters and photographers who got high fees to make a site that sucked.

The correct answer really is, if you have a good idea, high marketing potential (you are hot) AND you can get shoots done cheap AND you can get them edited nicely AND you can get a good webmaster to design things AND you can get a good techie to hook you up with reliable cheap hosting AND you know how to promote porn - then you have a good shot, otherwise its an uphill battle.
