I'm a producer and always had my own paysites, but for many years I didn't add new content often enough. I had the models, studio, enough material on stock but I hate the video editing, couldn't find good editors, so I didn't release new videos as often as I should. So the production pipeline got jammed up. In the good days, adding a new video would generate 50 new members per day per site during a week or so and most of them would remain subscribed for months if updates were frequent enough, and it was easy to get 5000 members or more. But if you only add 4 videos per year, the sites don't grow.
Now I am much harder on myself and force myself to do 2 hours of video editing per day and update my sites on a daily bases now. Sales are good, recurring billing is good but it would have been much better 10 years ago. It's even hard to get 1000 members for one site these days. The funny thing is that I'm still editing and adding material that I shot 10 to 15 years ago. Due to that my current costs are low, but I'll resume shooting new material soon, and make sure it will be good enough to impress my current and prospective members and shoot it so that it will be very easy to edit.
