If you have no skills.. what would it cost to set up a paysite?
 

I'm thinking it's needed to purchase:

- Design
- CMS
- Payment integration
- Content

Let's just say that I have traffic down, if I wanted to open a site in a niche I can see there's not a lot of competition for - what budget range would I be looking at?

lots of money

Prolly somewhere low/mid $xxxx range, but it also depends on quality I guess. Atleast thats what I found out so far.
I am also starting out so will subscribe to your topic :)

anyway goodluck :thumbsup

$99 a month

I've got AT LEAST $20 so that's covered.

On a more serious note.

1. CMS recommendations.
2. Payment integration recommendations.
3. How much does 100 picture sets of 15 pictures cost (this content doesn't exist, so I'd need someone to shoot it).
4. 20 HD videos anything from 10-30 mins.
5. Site design, membership design. 3 tours.
7. Cost of Gallery design.

You seriously are asking questions that are vague so that in order to create any dollar value requires more detail but here is a range that may help

- Design: ($500 to $15000) depending on site depth and integration etc.
- CMS: again varies as content management systems can range from cheap to overpriced
- Payment integration: look around but getting a merchant account can be costly but without any details again you can be paying 700$ to 70000$
- Content: You speak of niches but there are good deals but without how much content and what kind (video/pictures - plugin's - shoot it yourself or purchase rights limited etc) from $0 to 70000$ depending on exclusivity or whether you simply want to sign up for an affiliate program and don't want your own content that is unique - not to mention hosting or even marketing - SEO work - blogs etc

I hope you get the point in that your question is not specific enough and also doesn't include other necessities

Your CMS can also cover many other needs including delivery and mobile device detection/delivery starting at $600 a month.

See: http://delvenetworks.com You can also trial there and see what it does. Makes life very easy and eliminates a lot of your hosting requirements as well.

Email me if you need more info.

Thanks for that, they don't have the content I need tough.

if you have no skills then stay the fuck home and let the big dawgs rake in the profits

Sure thing buddy :thumbsup

I meant coding/design skills ;)

Thanks for the input :thumbsup

I'm not looking to open an affilaite program, but rather utilize the traffic I've got. Payment integration would need to be CC, with the ability to rebill on a monthly basis ofc.

Hosting I have. Marketing I have down. SEO I have down. Blogs I have plenty of.

Thanks for the info, will check that out :)

I want to play in the NBA. I'm thinking I need:

-Height
-Speed
-Endurance
-Shooting skills

Besides a shoe contract and white girlfriend what else do I need?

.

7 white girlfriends. One for each day of the week. Also need a shark tank and a Phantom.

its not easy, but boatloads of money helps, like everyone else stated, whats your niche?
then you can plan and see what cots per scene will be...

And a huge amount of dedication, effort and patience!

We have one that will work for you, fully installed on your server $2,750 to $3,750 approx. It's not some package job that has lots of restrictions of monthly payments.
Go with CCBILL and cascade to Epoch in the begining.
Need a heck of a lot more info than that. Could be $300 to $6,000 a scene depending on what you need.

$1,000 and upwards.

I think $20 and up.

You're asking a very vague question. so giving you a precise answer is hard. We're currently doing this for a client, with our content and we are getting $5,500. If his needs were simpler it could be less, if they were more complicated it could be more.

few hundred bucks at most :winkwink:

$10k+, you will get suckered and raped by people because you are a noob :2 cents:

I'd answer but couldn't top what Paul and L-Pink said, so...

You have no skills, how much can you afford to lose before you either give up or start again?

Isn't this what everyone does anyway :2 cents:

As long as you have a lot of money and marketing skills then :thumbsup

Markul,

Please get in touch and let me know what kind of content you are looking for. We @ AdultCentro Publisher have about 100,000 Scenes in our library, and always get fresh content, we publish a minimum of 50 new scenes per day. WE will do our best to find what you need.

with these specifications, on the low side around 30k (depends on content, of course). And anything from there. Might be a little less if you agree for the content to be semi-exclusive and you don't mind having talent repeated across sets. Either way, I doubt you will be unable to find at least some non-ex sets on the niche you want, so maybe with 20-30 pix+vids sets + whatever amount of non-ex you may find you might get the ball rolling. And if you achieve this, maybe 20k might be enough, but you'll be really stretching things out

Cool, hitting you up on e-mail.

Feel free to hit me up on Skype if I can help you out with anything. Information wise :2 cents:

It all depends...
U can buy shity design,template...non exclusive
shity content noon-exclusive,shity cms etc...all under 500$ all together...
And then again you can easy spend 100k $ :)

1,000,000.

Cool mate, thanks :thumbsup

Well right now I'm just prospecting, I'm selling out of my half of the mainstream company I own and am trying to figure out what to do next. Not even sure I want to go all in on adult *shrug*

Thanks for all the input, sorry I can't be more specific at this time but so far I've gotten some good pointers.
