CCBill is a good way to go. If you decide to move to cascade later and use "an overrated affiliate program" (as someone else said), it can be done without too much pain. There are lots of programs that do pretty well with CCBill alone (ask Desirae, Spunky, etc. LOL). 20 pics and 20 movies would be the minimum I would start with. We started with less but looking back, we should have produced more pre-launch. Content management is a big issue, manually doing html gets to be a major pain in the ass very quickly. I built my own CMS, after doing the manual html thing and using AWW for a while. I am sure you know all the goodies you want for your affiliate program after being on the other side of the fence, so provide what you expect of your sponsors. Knowing PHP will be very helpful, in providing some of the stuff. If you have other questions, let me know.
