The only way to do it now would be to go for numbers first.

Add freely accessible artsy nude picture sets as well as band picture sets, and do everything you can to build up a reader base.

If you get lucky, you might be able to switch to a membership model a few years from now. But before that - no dice.

Oh, and you'll probably have to target a slightly different subculture.
He said a site like it, not a duplicate of it.
