I really would like serious answers from serious people, but I know I cant keep the jokers out.

I have been shooting asian amateur stuff for more than 6 years as a second "job" and now I would like to devote more time and resources to actually make it a business. I do ok in my clipstore(which is where most of my revenue comes from now) but I know the market is very limited there so I am thinking about expanding to a real subscription based model. I have an idea for a new angle I think will be novel and sell well.

So the questions-

I have hundreds of old videos that tie in with the new concept somewhat, but they do not nail the theme I am aiming for in the manner I want to present. So the old scenes I would add as bonus material and not use to update the site. So would you add the old videos to the site as bonus material or make micro-niche sites and use a multipass system? Or maybe just not bother? Many of the niches I still shoot frequently and could update.

What is the minimum number of videos you would start the paysite with? Say the target price is $19.95/MONTH.

I am currently using the clipstore membership app for my niche store members site and I feel its not really designed for member based sales. The site navigation is antiquated, the ability to communicate with members is lacking, along with lots of other problems. Would you open the concept membersite on the clipstore member area for a test first or start fresh with another platform? If another platform, which? I would like to steer clear of getting a merchant account.

Once the store is opened, what is the optimal update interval?

Thanks to those who have read this far and even more thanks to those that take the time to share some knowledge.
