any advice on the subject would be aweseome.

Deluxepass offers hosting, billing and content. They offer an affiliate program, too. So you can build a site, let a designer make the site, tours and galleries. You don´t have to worry about the content, though you can put own content on your website as well.

I started with a webcam community in Europe, totally different from the US market. For example: an average of 32 user per day generates about 1200 € per month. This is of course not what the webmaster earns.

So I built a deluxepass site and I´m watching it for a while, learning about US market. First thing I learned was that you need a much higher amount of visitors to generate even one sale.

Models are important, of course. But first you have to decide which content you want to produce. For example it is not the same thing to get a model into b/g scene as into a watersports one.

If you want to build a site around one single model, the girl must have something special. But there you are in danger that the model will quit her job, so you have to have enough content to update your site for some time.

The big boys offer a great variety of niches, so your paysite must be different from the mainstream sites unless you are able to offer diversification, too.

So I think playing around with a little site isn´t the worst idea befoore you are building a big own paysite.
