First, other than the Ruseful sites and Blacked, there are VERY few new paysites launched since 2010 that are anywhere near a Brazzers, Met-Art, etc in size and scope. There's also little to no way for a paysite to expand to that level in 2015. The affiliate model is essentially dead, the traffic sources have consolidated and production has been cut across the Industry by 50%. So we need to define what "success" means in 2015. I will venture this definition:

A website is "successful" if it makes a profit.

There ya go. Now you can discuss the SIZE of the profit all day long but the Old Truth remains: either make it big with one-mega site/brand or get there via a thousand little steps. I now believe the only way to "get there" (without major capital investment) is via a thousand little steps. Each step tho has to be "successful" (profitable) and you have to be able to manage them all, that's the trick.
