Hmmm...lots of 101 questions here.
Some points:
First off, "hotness" is in the eye of the beholder. Often the "girl-next-door" look will sell 1000% better.
Keep in mind that a lot of content producers are really hurting at the moment, what with the economic downturn coupled with the huge amount of free content available ie don't give up your day job.
I shoot out of Central Europe, where the price of everything is at least 50% cheaper (more if I pay the models in Euros).
A vanilla sight will struggle to make coin (unless you can find a creative way to upsell/cheat/steal from the sign up).
Most peeps here are affiliates rather than site owners simply due to the start up and running cost.
You really need to have your traffic in place BEFORE embarking on a site.
To understand anything...you'll need to do the do. Put up some money, shoot some shit and see if you're any good (porn is not fashion or still life). Start a blog. You know, work!
Read and learn...then read and learn some more.
For some tonto reason, everyone (the public) seems to be under the impression that us porn people are still raking it in despite the economic crisis. They think of porn as being easy money and fail-proof. I'm forever being asked to set some plonker up with a web site, as they imagine this'll be an easy way out of their shitty situation. Wrong!
