Don't do it... any of the "i want my own pay site" ideas... you will most likely.. ok, that's a stretch, you will fail.

I love Jennifer Anniston and I think I have a pretty novel idea of how to win her heart if I could just get the chance to talk to her. It's a grandiose idea and like the ant says "i think i can, i think i can" if I just put in the work good things will happen.. but at the end of the night, I'm sitting at home alone with an ice cold Corona in one hand and my cock in the other and the closest I'll ever come to Jen is watching old re-runs of Friends. The moral of that story is that "wishing doesn't make it so".

Answer truthfully..

Do you have a staff to help or are you a 1 man shop:
Do you have a chunk of change to buy all the software/license fees you'll need?
Have you ever run an affiliate program?
Do you have traffic to feed the pay site customers?
Who'll shoot the content if you're busy doing all of these other things?
What do you do once your "novel idea" takes fire and others take note and copy it using professional photographers and have all of the things I've already asked in place to blanket the market?

The learning curve on the above is too much for a one man shop to be successful in today's marketplace and you're understaffed on top of that.

IMHO, you'd be better served using your own content to use creating something along the lines of a tube site and sell ad slots and double down on your efforts by selling the content to pay sites that have all that in place already.

That's a much smaller learning curve, can be ran as a one man shop... but that's me!

Sing on!
