In the early days, we all used to buy content. One problem was sometimes the content was way different than what you would see on the paysite. You are advertising the paysite, right? Why not use samples from the site? Sponsors give you promo material just for that purpose. If I am going to promote XYZ porn site, why would I use anything but their content? (I am promoting Joe's Steakhouse and Brewery. Here, have a free hotdog and soda so you can see what you will get if you go to Joe's.)

Many affiliate programs no longer have a dedicated rep, or right now, they are working remotely. Even established affiliates don't always get answers right away. Sponsors (affiliate programs) don't ask for money up front, and many will work with newcomers, but you have to know what you are asking for. You can't go up to these guys and say, I want to do something in adult, but I don't know what I want to do. They don't have the time to deal with that.

In some ways, this is like trying to decide to buy transportation. Do you buy a bicycle, motorcycle or a car? Gas, electric, or diesel? You need to decide what you want to do. The most successful sites are ones where the webmaster has followed their own passions. The fact that you are so undecided may also be a reason you are not motivated.
