Realize this is an old thread, but curious about this paysite thing. Is there any point to creating a paysite by way of AVS these days? I've actually been playing with the idea of a paysite lately only cause I'm sick and tired of doing months of work only to get screwed by a sponsors who don't pay or change their links and don't credit you for your old links to them and etc. etc. There are still a few decent sponsors left but, I'm paranoid they'll just end up getting bought out sooner or later by "you should know who" and then they go to shit.
Anyway, my curiosity to AVS is that I don't believe I will be able to create enough product to do my own site that will convert by itself. Is this outdated thinking and should I just hold off. I'm thinking with AVS I will invest less time and money and be able to get going. Not expecting much on my first attempt anyway except to learn what to do and not to do. Probably go with something like 3D or something of the sort since I've been becoming a bit obsessed with it lately and it's actually eating into my work time, and I'm actually needing store files on a removable harddrive just to make space.
Anyway what are the pros and cons of AVS verses just going at it on your own? Seems like anyone who knows what they are doing doesn't do AVS any longer (from lurking various places) and I was just curious why?
Thanks
Wow this was a long winded post
