- I need hosting
- I need to create a billing system (I heard it costs close to $600, is this true? Are there ways around it?)
- I need to create an affiliate program (Are these hard to get coded?)
That's all I can think of so far. The content is coming for free so I have that side covered. I also assume I'm going to have to blow a few thousand in adverts just to get the ball rolling.
Prices, ideas, suggestions, etc etc. Please do share - I'm totally new to this.

You can't sell what you don't have. Create or buy exclusive content. Post a few samples to GFY and see if the community has the will to promote the content. If you get a good response then go for the paysite.
Creating content is a lot harder done than said. You need to first find attractive and willing models, that is not easy. Then you need to find a photographer who hows what they are doing....and that is harder than finding a willing model. Then you need someone who is a good retouch artist in photoshop to make the models that much more appealing. If you are doing video then you need to find someone with some good gear and who knows what they are doing as well.
There are a LOT of amateurs in this game, and they cry because what they shoot is poor quality all the way around and it does not sell. There is lots of mediocre porn for free out there that smokes the amateur stuff. You have to excel beyond that before anyone will drop a dime to see more of what you have.
