I get about 3 or 4 sign ups a week through Verotel, and I got 2 sign ups the first day I signed up with CCBill, even though they had to pay with MC instead of Visa at the time.
I'm home all day, so I have the time to do all the deisgn work and gallery building. If things start to improve, I will be able to pay for better hosting and such.

Not a bad start. You need to try to get at least a few sales a day to cover costs and development of the site, so keep working your traffic up. As i said before a paysite without traffic is merely a tax writeoff.
Having your own content and the ability to design yourself is a major bonus. Sorry for my skepticism, but i have seen so so many people start their own paysites with no clue as to what they are getting themselves into.
Try to use a combination of CPC and selective paid advertising to get yourself to 5 inhouse sales a day, then you will have a worthwhile venture. You might need a few $k to invest though.
