Yes you need to start somewhere... so with 20k you can start somewhere. But if that 20k is all you have to put in there i can tell you right now it's allready going to end right there. Please don't consider it as taking a shit on you...
You want realistic views but i'll tell you that 80k is more realistic then 20k. I think you think to easy...
Yes... you need traffic... it takes time to build traffic. To get traffic you need content. No one will send traffic to the desert...
Let's say you start with a (20k) website and 20 scenes. 10 scenes published on the site 10 updates hold back for weekly updates. With only 1 update per week (and that's pretty low although it depends a bit on the niche if you will get away with it) you'll have updates for 10 weeks. 10 scenes is not a lot of scenes for a lot of promos. Affiliates will run out of promos very soon (so your traffic will simply die) And then they will have 1 new promo per week with 1 update per week. A lot of affiliates will not even consider promotion. And besides that there aren't that much serious affiliates left. Will visitors join a site with 10 scenes? Some will... if it's specific content.... hard to find somewhere else or else they won't.
Traffic (affiliates) and sales will not fly in simply because you're online. Do not expect your sales to be sufficient within 10 weeks to pay for content for new updates. So... You need time to build up your brand... you need more money to pay for your coming updates and further development of the site; hosting, etc... In the beginning... everyone around you (models, developer, hosting, etc) will make money except you.
Buying traffic... yeah... well... good luck with that... First of all it costs money... and second... you need to know what you're doing so you will need to spend a lot on it to learn what's working for you.
The deadliest thing for a site is running out of updates... You want to shoot hardcore... i assume b/g. Let's say $1000 per scene if you do it relatively cheap. With 1 update per week that's 52 updates a year is $52000 a year only for 1 year of updates.
I think in 2014 to start a paysite or network of paysites you need financial power. 80k is even very low then. You need to force yourself into the market... Sites, content, technical infratructure, marketing, etc... you need to grow fast. You need a lot of money.
With only 20k to spend and then waiting for revenue to pay for all costs and new updates... you will die off or grow very very very unstable and slow...
This is my humble opinion... good luck!
