Just about the only way I can think of to get past that hurdle when launching just about anything is to have a lot of money to throw at it to get it started OR have an existing source of traffic you can tap into. Kind of like starting a fire with a blow torch, turn off the blow torch and it has a little flame, then it grows on its own from there.
I thought it was a 4chan meme?

anyway, the thing is, his traffic is about is worthy as 4chan's, they have a ton of traffic, but the demographic spends about $0 on porn, and the nsfw theme that gravitates there makes the traffic unsellable to mainstream... he may have gotten bump in curious traffic from mainstream media attention after the fact, but the core traffic there is not going to buy anything
