Want to start a site...........

[secretagentwilly]

Man, that's a whole shit load of questions that I don't know the answer to, however, I would say you might want to take some time and be an affiliate of several affiliate programs to see how they work and what they do and then apply the good things to your program once you're ready to make the commitment. Are you ready to fund a paysite when you're this unprepared and have this many questions? I hate to see you start at a disadvantage. There's already so many free sites out there. Have you considered running your site for free to get some traffic and picture submissions and then add the premium section down the road? Just food for thought...best of luck to you.
