I've got a domain, content...now what?

I've been a photographer for some time, and I recently started working with a couple of models to create a website for them. I got the domain, photographed them (doing things that I'm pretty sure would be illegal if we were in Utah), had their friends come over and do more of the same, got a credit card processor, built a great looking site and have it all ready to throw out there.

But now I have two questions:
  • What's going to happen
  • What should I do to make it work?

I made a ton of money on the internet in the late 90's, but that was selling real products. I have no idea what's going to happen when I put a website out there that basically has some hot girls banging each other and their friends. This is not at all like selling widgets, or at least I'm guessing it's not. Just 'cause a girl sticks her finger in her butt 9or someone else's) I'm not sure someone is going to plunk down their hard earned money to see it, when I can surf the net and find tons of it for free.

Which brings me to another question...why are so many people giving it away?

anyway, as far as content, I told them we should concentrate on video clips, because I figure that's what people want to see more. But I really have no idea. We shot lots of pics as well. What's a good ratio of pictures to videos? I was even tossing around the idea of no pics at all, and having ONLY videos.

I suppose at this point it's a learning process, just as it was when I started my first internet venture in '99. I was nervous about it making any money then, because I had a ton of investment. This time there is less up front, but I have no idea where to go from where I'm at.


Any suggestions?
