Traffic is king and you've never had any joy at generating enough in-house traffic to justify operating 1 paysite, never mind multiple paysites. You have created this thread many times over the years and in those threads you where offered some outstanding advice that was never implemented.
This isn't an attack, it's a reality check that I'm sure you won't want to hear but it needs to be said. This is 2015 and those that are still around and doing well have had to increase their skill set quite substantially.
Mobile/Tablet Optimisation, Responsive Design, Social Media Marketing, Advanced Traffic Filtering, I mean I could go on and on with the list but you get the idea...
As for the solo model paysite niche, it died a quick death years ago. Back in the early 2000s Models needed a webmaster but that's no longer the case because you have companies like MFC, Chaturbate, LiveJasmin and lots of others that have the infrastructure and traffic/customers so now the model can go directly to the source, setup an account and do her own promotion via social media and frankly they do a much better job than most webmasters could do these days.
Add in the additional benefit of the model being in control of her promotion, content, level of interactivity etc and it's a much better deal for the model anyway.
I'll finish with some helpful advice since I'm pretty sure you'll ignore the above and embark on another attempt at creating a paysite. Firstly do your market research, find yourself a niche that's underexposed and doesn't have a lot of quality competition (easier said than done)
Learn how to generate your own sales, read, read and then read some more on how to generate traffic from as many sources as you possibly can. This isn't the early 2000s anymore, if you can't generate your own sales you're dead in the water now. It's ludicrous to depend on affiliates to define the success of your business.

Nope that's a great post... lot of sense. The only thing I would say, we have to a degree evolved, in as much as we don't really shoot solo girl sites anymore... as you said a lot of them are their own bosses now and making money for themselves...
We have been shooting content for more niche sites... I am still not saying it's the B ALL... but we have some decent JOI content, some Pantyhose stuff... not to mention my very own POV styled site... just a little bit different...
We do have some new solo content too, but this basically happened due to other work we were doing with a bunch of girls based around "escorting" and running their profiles for them on Adult Work... but think of this more as filler sites to the niche stuff...
But no, what you said makes a lot of sense... and I appreciate you taking time to post it.
