For gods sake am I the only one who is seeing major problems with this thread? Here we have someone who admits to having only $1000 in his bank at the best of times, and you are all encouraging him to start a paysite and even possibly a webmaster program!!!?

I mean nothing against tortus32, he is only as good as the advice he is given, but some of you should have realised he wasn't ready for a paysite as his posts here reflect that!

Tortus, seems you have already signed up for ccbill and verotel. Good luck mate, and since its now too late for me to suggest you hold off heres a short list i will copy and paste that I have given others. You might want to look at getting strongbox installed on your paysite aswell, as I am assuming you are not on hosting that could handle a 60mbs surge from eventual password leaks.

I snipped a few things since I know you already have them covered. Sorry for the roughness of this list.

- You need password and paysite security programs (eg strongbox)
- You need a content management script or at the very least an automated gallery generator
- You need a fast server on tier 1 BW
- You need scripted email responses for member requests (eg password etc).
- You need to design a tour that can convert (or pay to get it done and risk it not working)
- You need to design a members area (or pay to get it done)
- You need upsells / plugins / free plugins or at least some value added extras

If you are hoping to get affiliates:

- You need a wide range of banners that are tested and get results.
- You need a few gallery templates at least

- IF you are using a 3rd part processor like CCBill
: You need a program front end that you can plug the tracking into

- You need funds for advertising on boards, or at least a respected board presence
- You need to have the time to deal with affiliates 1 on 1
- You need to have content that can be given out AND the licence must allow it.

But ... i will save the best for last .... all the above aren't as important as this one.....

You NEED traffic. Without traffic your paysite is as good as a Tax Writeoff
