thats not an unusual starting attitude in porn lol
simmeon was hitting on the main problem - you dont competently achieve your site goals.
good content at a fair price? its not unique or exclusive content, so what is a fair price for non-exclusive content? VideoBox has 115,000 non-exclusive scenes for $15 a month. that is a pretty fair price. you cant compete on value if your content isn't exclusive.
porn is all about the numbers. the more exclusive your content, the lower traffic numbers you need to convert a visitor. low budget start-ups think the best plan is to buy a bunch of non-exclusive content, post it up for a low price, and guys will buy. its just not true. there is a limited number of actual buyers, and they have all seen the "bought" content.
if you are small start-up, your best strategy is actually to shoot (or buy) exclusive content. find something that interests you and figure out how to do it better. then shoot (or buy) it.
you don't need 100 videos to start a paysite. you just need 1 video and a good pay-per-view cms. a lot of PornCMS customers even started their businesses on sites like clips4sale. 1 sale leads to 10, and 10 sales leads to the next shoot. when you have enough money you post another video and email your newsletter list about it.
a small start-up cannot compete on the subscription model. pay-per-view is the only way to go..
