Yes, the paysite model is a minified breed but will always be around. Always. People will always buy porn. Period.

Sell something unique and specific. Something that people enjoy and are actively seeking out that only you can provide consistently and of high quality. A surfer comes across your site, chances are they will want to be a member. Don't build a product that's saturated in the free market. If you do, make it unique. Something that gives your product twice the value that customers NEED to have that the competing free content cannot offer. Keep tight reigns on your content. Sure, tube leaks happen but so be it... Keep a DCMA team on retainer and be actively involved in securing your videos and seeking out infringers. Offer stream-only. Do anything that keeps your site unique, fresh, for-members-only and stay atop of tech for your users.

Promote the literal fuck out of your site on every platform you can think of in a way that benefits the viewers, the platform and yourself. Repeat, repeat and repeat.

Yes, hard work. Lots of it.

There's no make-rich and dodge tube/content woes button on our desks but paysites can and still do make money.
