    Can You Start An Adult Site With 5k?

    I am thinking about starting one.
    I'll be shooting my own content but will be outsourcing for setup and design.
    I'm just curious would 5k be enough or would it take more?

                  Blah, you can start with 5K, "not including content or equiptment" but it would be a start, just be smart about what designers u use and cms/hosting.... oh, and you better be a webmaster and be able to put it all together.

                  hmmmm...... guess it is possible?

                              ok well it's $750 for the merchant account,
                              $950 for a HD camera,
                              I got a quote for somebody to setup the site for $350,
                              and 6 months of dedicated hosting for $600,
                              so that leaves around $2300 for the girls and advertising.
                              I think it could be done,
                              possibly.

                                  newbies should start small..

                                  you need 1 year of hosting not 6 months or 2 months

                                  and whats the plan after the advertising budget has dried up ? you think the amount from signups will cover back the money spent on advertising and have left over for new updates ?

                                  do you already have success selling paysite memberships or are you just jumping in and hoping for the best

                                  your also going to need good updates, or else the members will leave and thats just a waste of the advertising money that you spent to get them in the first place

                                  the bigger sponsors all have daily updates, you cant afford that at all, im not sure if your $5k budget even has space for weekly updates

                                  but i admit, if you have the next big thing or something so awesome that people will signup in hordes, then $5 k is enough to start a new site

                                  otherwise its better to get more experience first as a affiliate..maybe build some successful traffic sites of your own..that will save alot on advertising fees

                                      Agreed. I'd start out as an affiliate to learn the business more. Once you get a hang of things, you will have a good amount of traffic being generated that you can push to your adult site. Plus you'll have additional revenue.

                                      By doing this, you'll learn more about what CMS is right for you, what your comfortable with, how to advertise effectively, what converts the best, etc., etc.. Shit you might find yourself a micro niche as well

                                          answer: its possible, but 99% of people definitely dont have the skills needed to pull it off.

                                              It's possible, do your research first and try to get any of the girls on cam to supplement your money.

                                                  Depends on your idea of employing things, but as a start 5k will help you achieve,

                                                      I'm doing that now. My advice to you, start with building your affiliate network. Then, develop your idea even more and refine it until you feel its ready for the market.


                                                      Also, try not to use your friends. I've been waiting around for work for a few weeks all because I was too cheap to pay for it initially. Sometimes, its better to pay for the work to just get moving rather than wait for a friend to get time to accommodate you.

                                                      Make sure to use designers that keep in contact with you also. Communication is important and can throw of your schedule.

                                                      One thing also is don't burn yourself out. And for the time being, keep your day job

                                                          the answers to that question depends on the many things.

                                                                  What he said.

                                                                  But this means that you should have some basic programming skills, some basic marketing skills, some basic shooting skills, some basic editing skills, some basic recruiting skills, some basic business / administrative skills etc etc.

                                                                  There are POSSIBLY people with all those skills - yes.
                                                                  And there are also clear advantages, besides the savings, if you manage to have your nose in everything at the beginning.

                                                                  HOWEVER: Don't want to sound harsh, but if you are this type of guy then you are likely to already have more than 5k to invest in this (unless you just finished college or you've been very unlucky.)

                                                                  In any case, good luck!

                                                                                      Only major change today is it has gotten even cheaper to produce content and even more so if you buy already produced-exclusive content.

                                                                                      I also recommend starting with Clips4Sale.com and related type sites. First it's the cheapest solution, then it's a great way to get a feel if your style, content flavor ect can match with a market - and it puts some bucks back in your pocket before having to fork over the building costs.

I've got one and figure I would need about $10,000 to shoot the girls (50 episodes x $200/girl) and maybe another $5000 (MAX!) to build the site and launch it.......

                                                                                                              Just want to share my experience with you. I was considering something very similar a while back, but I didn't want to blow money on a botched investment so I sought some legal counsel. And no, I didn't waste money on that, I never deal with a lawyer who won't first do a free consultation. You'll find that the best ones typically do offer this, because they are successful enough that they don't need to nickle and dime their potential customers to death.

                                                                                                              Both of the lawyers I spoke with advised strongly against it. Starting a paysite costs a lot of money to do right, even if you are starting small, and you cannot realistically expect to be profitable in the first several months - a more practical goal would be to break even in 1-2 years and then grow steadily and multiply your profit from there.

                                                                                                              There are a lot of expenses you are probably not thinking of or factoring in. What happens when you rent equipment or a location, and then the model blows you off? Do you have excess cash to cover these losses? Or what if you shoot the models and then later determine you made some kind of lighting error or you have an equipment failure and lose the data, so you have paid the models for nothing? Shit happens, gotta be prepared, any new startup business needs a healthy cushion of cash to make it through the bumpy road in the beginning.

                                                                                                              If you want to try you hand at this business, I would recommend to you what the lawyers both suggested to me - either start out by shooting some kind of creative niche content and selling it on clips4sale, or a similar platform, or shoot content on a freelance basis for an existing paysite. That way you can learn one part of the business at a time, rather than trying to learn how to shoot content, get the girls to act right, mastering the lighting and sound, converting and cleaning up the video and/or pictures, plus building / maintaining / designing a website, working with a billing company, marketing, advertising, etc etc etc all I'm saying is it's a lot go bite off at once.

                                                                                                              Good luck in whatever endeavor you choose to try first.

                                                                                                                  However,....

                                                                                                                  What is your businessplan, and specifically how much do you want to make? Because you will be competing against a lot of very big companies if you want to make serious cash shooting your own stuff.

                                                                                                                  We have started on a similar budget and ended up spending a lot more on newbie mistakes then on the actual project, however we are now making a very nice profit. (free site model, not paysite and affiliate content, not original).

                                                                                                                  My advice:
                                                                                                                  Have a look at buying content rather than shooting your own. Start by running a whitelabel for a few months so you can get an idea of buying traffic that converts as that is the crux of the business if you are starting a new site.

                                                                                                                  Good luck!

                                                                                                                          I would say that is very hard to do.

It took me about 2 years to break even on monthly expenses and now I'm not even 10 years into it and I'm very comfortable. Be patient and it will come. If somebody told you that this is a get rich quick business they're full of shit.
