I am running cam sites myself, they are a bit different from regular content sites, but here are my five cents :

When starting out, is there any "Aww, shit" problems that popped up that you didn't foresee?

- Traffic, start building your "free sites" now to get seo traffic to your paysite. Just putting a paysite online, without any traffic doesnt work, unless you have a kickass domain name..

What are the top 3 or 4 most important things for a successful adult site?

1. Traffic, Traffic, and more Traffic !
2. An affiliate program
3. A lot of patience and hard work !
4. Great content

Is there an "Affiliate Programs 101" that I can read to learn more about the process?

- Not that I know of, but asking your questions on sites like GFY is a great start !

It's all about subscriptions... You can never have too many, but what is average? I understand break-even points, but what should I expect? How do you judge success?

- If you make more money then you invest, your okay. But never think your done, because your never done...

Like I said, we're using amateur models. We're looking at a new set each week with 75-100 pics in each set and at least one video per shoot. Is that too much, too little, just right?

- I don't have a clue... But there are plenty of program owners here that will know this.

Are "hardcore" sites more profitable then "softcore"? I know that once you move in to fetish (with a few exceptions) you start to niche yourself and limit your subscribers.

- Not sure, but if you have great softcore content that people like, that might work..

Are affiliate programs necessary for a successful site, or is it something that we can ease in to once we get up and rolling?

- I think you need to look into all aspects of traffic, because traffic and content is the king. Build your own free sites for seo traffic, trade traffic and links on them, buy traffic from a good source, make your affiliates happy people...

... I'm sure I have more questions... But I'm brain cramping at the moment...

- Oooow yes you will have more questions ;)
