Best post so far.
Without knowing the niche we are guessing. If it isn't available already there's probably a very good reason for it. People searching is a good indication of demand. What we have to figure out is why hasn't that demand been satisfied already?
Do you have the skills, knowledge and talent to shoot the content? Do you
know the niche? Can you find the models, location, equipment, etc? Do you have the money required to fill the site with content. Then keep updating while memberships are low and building?
These are the biggest problems and most expensive for a newbie to get over.
Then do you have the skills, talents and money to build a site?
Solo girl content can cost between $300 to $500 a scene to shoot. Including buying the initial equipment and assuming the models aren't charging a fortune or working for free. Add up all the equipment costs, models location and expenses per shoot and divide it by what you will get out of it per day. Aiming at kicking off with 100 scenes. Shooting good content takes time, don't expect to shoot 5 great scenes in a day.
Once you step into couples content the cost rise.
Yes you can start on a show string, be careful a lot of those guys failed.
What is your budget for equipment?
Shooting and the content produced?
How long will it take you to create enough to fill a members site?
Do you have a credible business plan and budget prediction and the money to see it through?
Spending $10,000 on equipment, $600 on each 3 scene shoot and kicking off with 100 scenes will cost $29,800. $298 per scene. Add a few drinks to the shoot and it's $300+ per scene. Haven't even included a decent location per shoot, props, clothing, travel, agents fees for models, make up, etc. Start adding that at a decent price and the cost per scene could double.
Building a site you might be able to do yourself, can you do that and design it? Others are better qualified than me to budget for that.
Hosting is pretty inexpensive, but aim at $1,000 a month to start off with a decent server with service. Once traffic builds it will escalate. If you have to go the affiliate route, some sponsors spend more on servers to look after non paying customers than paying customers.
It can all be done cheaper and it can all be done more expensive.
How much money do you have to gamble with?
When reading posts, look hard at the posters signature. Many failures can hide behind a wall, with nothing to prove they make more than a living wage being an affiliate. Which cost them nothing to start and nothing to continue.
I've been doing porn for 33 years, so must have some skills. Shooting and selling to every market there is. Now semi retired on the money I made.
I wish you well, hit me up on ICQ or Skype if you want to chat.
