They host it, handle the credit cards and give me half of the sign up. When I have a decent member base I'll switch to something like CCbill. I figure by that point I'll have some good traffic. I host my galleries so the domain won't change.

I've been doing it for 6 months and I started to get checks after the first month, not a lot but a few hundred a month.

Do you guys think this is a good approach or should I be doing something else?

I think an AVS is a good solution to get recurring income if your own members area is new and small thus can not retain well on it's own.

Once you get a decent size members area and can afford to purchase allot of good plugins and filler content, and frequent updates then moving on to CCBill would be a good idea if you want to be more in control of things and have a decent affiliate program.

Oh, and when you say "I'll switch when I have a decent members base"

I don't think you'll be able to transfer your members from Adults Allowed to CCBill if that's what you mean. I could be misunderstanding you though.

Cheers,
