Thanks for your kind words, CoolDude,
Okay - probably most of the gfy guys are not interested of reading about building a porn cartoon site like the one I'm about to do, but I've seen couple of guys going around - looking for where to publish their original comics and stuff. I've been through this and I was waiting for some publishing company to answer my call - that may take ages or never to respond - especially the last option.
If you have original content but enough fans and growing.... ahem...cough... then you can start thinking of doing something by yourself ... like some very sexy cool rocking guys at gfy... I have myself in mind.
...
The idea of this thread is to help the guys who want to make something like that, but don't know how to start. Like I did.
First you should have a regular job, because you have to pay some bills on road. haha...
1. Get a hosting - check - amerinoc
2. Get domain name - checked...
3. Get .org and .net from the same name, to avoid any duplicate shit from another guys- checked
4. Choose a CMS - for poor guys like me - WordPress - checked
5. Get a design to show your stuff in some shape - check the demo:
http://dreamona.com/projects/mydd/main.html
and this should be the members area:
http://dreamona.com/projects/mydd/members/
6. Find someone to integrate your design into WP.
Okay - we have the main stuff. Now - all this should be integrated. I'm not WP wise, but had to find someone who's familiar with this process.
Some of you commended me Fris. It was hard for me to find him online, because he seems to be busy or he's on moving all the time.
We had talk and we agreed to pay him in advance, before he start working. He also wanted me to provide him the design sliced into html + css, which I also did.
That part is done (design, slicing, paid) and I'm waiting for demo from his side today, or at least at the end of the week. I'm pretty sure he will do his magic and the site will have all the functionality that can will make.
7. The other part that awaits my action is signing up with ... payment processing company.
I had some brief talks with Nikky and she was frank and direct enough to explain me with simple words what the guys from Verotel did. Thank you Nikky, you're awesome - /the good way/! I had also Fris on that and several other guys / which I won't mention - but you can see that thread in here:

So I'm heading with CCBill.
I had some talks with two spanish speaking guys - Jorge Espinoza and Carlos Fuentes... they were answering me a day or two after my post, but I count that with the time difference, even though I work on US timing - sleep at day, work at nite.
In the meant time I'm doing cheap commissions for the guys - which all will go inside my members area!
/to be continued/.
Below you can see some of the things I've been commissioned ...
Please don't bother of punching me about Shrek drawing - this has been commissioned by a fan, and he paid dearly for me to do that for him.
You can see all the other public images under my account at newgrounds:
