but what is that in members, since he asked members, not profit. i also think thats extremely low. 100k isnt very much for a success new hardcore site. its much more than that. blacked, faketaxi, wowgirls, just ones off the top of my head, ill get more soon, all made wayyyy more than that in their first year

Yes but AGAIN you are mentioning large companies with large ad budgets etc. IF that is the question then YES a paysite can make much more than 100K a year. BUT if we are talking a smaller-sized company then I stand by my projections. It's very simple. LOL
And since the OP is MUTT then I am going to assume that Mutt is NOT Mind Geek. LOL So again (as with your solo girls analogy) what is 'realistic'? COULD a paysite make millions? Sure - but what's the cost? Is Mutt going to invest that much in his new paysite?
I think we are arguing about different things here. I am sorry but when it comes to mega-sites by BIG companies I do not compare them with what a smaller-sized company (or an individual) could achieve.
So for the last time (since I run 82 paysites and have been doing this for six years now at a time when things are DEcreasing, not INcreasing so obviously I know nothing): an average sized paysite without anything special will garner between 500-1000 Members in its' first year (if everything is done correctly and people like the site) with a profit potential of 100K+. Could it be MORE? Yes - but only if you throw tons of money at it.
Final note: If anyone thinks the paysite business in 2015 is "thriving" or "growing" or "flourishing" then you are high on drugs. LOL
