Xamo makes a version of strip poker. I highly recomend you take a look at it for it set the industry standard. Here you will see it takes more than just some flash technique to whip out a game.
Currently Xamo has two graphics artists on hand full time, two game programers, a sales department and a accounting devsion.
How does that apply to you? YOU need a game plan.

Well I'm a single programer and designer. You don't need to worrie about me!
As far as I know, seting the industry standard doesn't mean that someone else can't make another type of game. I will make a orriginal one!
And yes I do have a plan, and i have thought a lot about this! Don't underestimate my marketing skills!

I'm not sure what you could charge for a single game. $25 a month is hardly worth your time.

Sounds like a small spamm...
First of all you don't know what my time is worth!
I'm not going to charge 25$/month. I sad that before I saw some of the prices on the Internet.
I'm going to charge more, but I have some special features in mind that will make the clients like me!

The features you need to include are a high score system, a game play tracking system and prizes for top scores.

The actionscript is allready done and it works like a charm.
I am a programer and I know what I'm doing! This things may sound like something complicated, but Flash is a powerfull toll in the hands of those who master it.

I will use only stills. Flash does not support video streaming at this moment.
This is the good part!
The movies are maintained by the site's owner, I don't host them' nor take care of them. The owner will only pay once, so on the long term he will pay less.
The movie will be customizable by the site's ovner! He will chouse what pics to display! I will only have to buy one set of pics, and the site oner will be able to change them easily!

I'm sorry I was unable to see how your games look like, but maybe that's better this way!
