Money from Mini-Sites?

I have been kicking around an idea with some WM friends for a while now and we are all agreed that it should work.

Basically it should be possible to make good money with mini-sites - like 1-200 pics and some vids - with sponsor advertising inside if the surfer wants more - and a very low fee like $1 for 24 hours to get in. Kind of like a paid preview site with some unique content, or not. The hassle is with micropayments/billing.

If somebody were to operate a secure token system so that punters could buy books of 5 or 10 tokens and exchange them for site entry via cut and paste from email then this would make the mini-site boom possible. Especially if this somebody were to supply a complete turnkey script for access control and token acceptance. By the time Token Sellers have taken their cut and the card company have theirs then the website operator would be looking at something like $60c on the dollar.

The plan being that resellers/marketers buy blocks of 50,100,1000 tokens at around 85c a ticket and as well as getting the markup they get 1% of the punters spend for ever.

Of course we have it a bit more worked out than this down to methodology and encryption techniques etc but dont wanna give away the store in a public post.

What do people think about this idea/business model?
