Affiliates are not going to promote your products if there's a chance of a traffic leak to your blog.
Come up with a great new name (brand) for your new venture. Something that you can easily promote from your blog and something that affiliates can promote as well, which helps build your brand even more.
Then push the C4S/MV/PH/XV angle to get money coming in. Once you have a nice catalog of content and a little extra cash, you can start building that paysite. Start building the paysite side once you get around 20 videos or so. Is that a small amount of content? Sure, but that's how you get the ball rolling and that will bring in more cash to help purchase more content. Rinse and repeat.

Good advice right there. And C4S/MV/PH/XV isn't just for getting money coming in, it's also a way to get your name out there. Some of the people noticing / buying your stuff there will also be customers on your paysite.
A good remark about the 20 videos too. Some companies are opening paysites with under 10 videos these days.
If you have 20 videos with normal length, and you can keep adding steady updates, I think it's fine to launch the paysite. Especially if it will be a clip store kind of site, then absolutely nobody is going to complain about the quantity.
