Like I said previously, if you want to keep moving the measure then of course you are going to be able to "prove" your point, which is "it is harder than ever to start a paysite and make it successful in a reasonable amount of time in today's market", an assertion myself and the others that have commented similarly disagree with.
Why are you asking me, the original poster said good money (which he said was roughly 5k a month) on a modest budget and he already mentioned that, he was throwing out 50-100k as a figure. Its not me making up these figures, its me answering a direct question with his figures in mind

The difference between making a 2k a month business and a 4-5k a month business is huge (and it shows in the startup cost)

I also explained in previous posts why the costs jump up quite a bit from small site to medium size (medium site being what he expects as a monthly return). Though you guys keep talking about how its so easy to launch a cheap small site, not taking into account his actual question

A 1.5-2k a month job pays your bills, you dont bank nothing, how would you keep shooting for it and keep it updated? how would you ever get to the level of making 4-5k if its just paying your bills.. 4-5k a month allows you to grow and and maintain. Remember, paysites run out of content and when they do, they drop alot. In order to keep 2k, you need to launch another site before that one runs out (where would that money come from) or keep shooting so that it doesn't run out. Either way. You need to make more than your monthly bills

Or youre basically making a one time investment where you end up with nothing to show for it but a job in adult for a year or two.
