What would be the amount to ask for to start one site? How much capital do I need?
Factors to include are:
I live in the Northwest.
I already own a professional camera and hd camcorder.
I already own some lighting but maybe upgrading that to maximize quality.
I already know CCbill processing is $750.
I also know that paying models depends on the model and the work being done and since Im a start up I would not be booking $1500 pornstars right away.
What does testing cost? on average?
If anyone could throw some figures at me I would really appreciate it.  |
You mean starting a site or getting a site at the point of profit? These 2 things are completely different. To start a site... let's say 20k... but... then you would need let's say another 80k for the rest of the year.... 15 scenes will not get you anywhere... it's not even a month of promos and tube-trailers. Your traffic dries up (if you find affiliates at all as a start up)within a month. Don't expect the cashflow within a month to continue to shoot for your weekly new updates; further developtment of the site; etc etc etc...
Just saying... 20k won't get you anywhere further then throwing the site online...
