A modest budget for acquiring traffic/affiliates (ie whatever the site makes can be re-invested but not much money above and beyond that so no $100,000 a month ad budget).

First month or two you should be able to easily get 10 signups a day.
Months 3 to 6 you should be working your way towards a steady 25 a day average.

If you get to the 25 a day average then you should be able to scale up and hit 40 to 50 a day before year end.

With those targets you would probably hit 1000 active members around Month 7 or 8. Maybe close out the year approaching or hitting 2000 active members.
That's about what I was thinking as a success these days for a new site, 2-3,000 members and only for a site whose content stands out - not ground breaking because who knows what that is until the public sees it and reacts to it, no matter how good you think your concept is it doesn't mean others will appreciate it as something special - but unique enough and high quality.

Production costs would run $10,000 a month.

If you did hit 2000 members 12-18 months into it, how much growth do you think there would be from there?

If you want to tell us how many new joins a day Twistys was making when you sold it go ahead!
