Paysite production is my eventual goal though.  |
As a little timeframe insight for ya' regarding the above...
We started our first one as a freesite (on GoCasino hosting) back in '99. I'd been creating content for it since approx. 1995, so we already had a good stockpile of content. I'd also been posting a lot of our work on Usenet and various venues for years, so our stuff was fairly well known before we even launched the site. Both my wife and I worked full-time jobs at the time, and we invested money outta pocket to continually upgrade our gear (cameras, props, etc.)...while doing most of our own modeling.
We switched gears and went paysite format in 2000 with webhosting based on revshare. We expanded the following year with a second paysite (male bondage & fetish) and about six months after that we began making some decent revenue returns, much of which we sunk back in to camera upgrades, new models and more equipment.
By 2002 I quit my other job and took over the websites full-time...my wife continues working her other full-time job these days as well (she likes the company she's with).
To make a long story short (too late, I know
)...works out to roughly 3 years before the momentum really began paying off for us.
