Paysite check list

[terry]

I see more paysites closing than affiliates giving up. Why would you want to start your own sites now with 2257 going the way it is... this means it will be even harder now.
GG&J is a good resource for paysite owners... as far as a checklist goes I think I've seen one somewhere - but would you believe that it was the right way to go. If you have been promoting sites for the last 4 years then you should know what sells for you and what doesnt. Make that your starting point. Research reseach research. Once you know the type of site you want you will need to buy the content or shoot it yourself and then find a good designer, or do it yourself. Then you may want to review your current hosting or hit up CD34 on this board. I hear his hosting kicks ass. You may want to consider a CMS for your members area, or do it by hand. Once you get all that in place you will need a processor, which may require you to register a US Corp or go "offshore". With all that ready now you can think about getting affiliates. If you use CCBill for example, you can simply enable that in your admin and or get your rep to help you out... thats pretty much it. I may have missed a few items but this is just to give you a rough idea... if you choose to do it.. good luck!
