I have a vague memory of posting this somewhere before, not sure. The real challenge in running a porn site is the billing. Credit card company's wont touch you, if you use a CC fulfillment service they charge up to 25% service charge. Bottom line is it is very very expensive gamble.

There is a few payment proccessor out there who do handle adult website proccessing, such as ccbill, verotel, netbilling, and epoch who have been taking adult website membership payments for a long time.

ccbill has some high requirements but the major players use them.

I made a part-time porn site 10 years ago, I learned a lot. At this point the market is pretty mature, you can decide which parts you want to do yourself, versus outsource. There is so much free content everywhere that to make money you have to either be highly specialized so that people will pay, or be a big well-known player. So for us, highly-specialized. Next time I try it I will focus on developing the highly-specialized content only, and out-source the hosting, billing, marketing, etc. And I would not pay market rates for random girls, I would find girls who were into my area of specialty, and who trusted me enough to work for a share of any money we made, because they were having a good time. In that scenario, it will be an inexpensive good-time, because I will pick a specialty I am into, and any money we make will just be a bonus.

I have a couple of ladies lined up to work with this summer, we'll see how it goes. I will start just be producing content and selling it, it that gets enough response, I will have it on a template site with click-ads.

Just to bring up to perspective...

If BangBros is paying every girl ~$800 for a shoot, and they update EVERYDAY (which they do), then they are spending almost $25,000 a month on girls, which is nearly $300,000 a year

Well, if they're generating the revenue...then that's what they have to do to remain competitive in a saturated industry...
