But you learned your "webmaster lessons" on your own amateur site. Single girl sites where the girl alone or with a boyfriend/spouse are the owner, performer and webmaster are a unique entity, and the same rules simply don't apply. In fact my own very first adult site was just such a site in 1997. A whole lot more than just the rules have changed since then.

Plus, my time is worth something, even if it's not a directly out-of-pocket expense.
Being able to just go shopping online for pic sets is actually a far easier and cost-effective way of making paysites.

Perhaps, but unless you pay premium dollar for purchased content, said content is neither original nor exclusive to your site. Which is one of the major selling points of amateur sites.
I'm not saying that building a successful paysite can't be done as a first adult site, but I'd guess the success rate increases drastically when the "webmaster lessons" are learned building non-pay sites first.
