Wow, this turned out to be a really good thread! I think it's kind of moot whether the original question about whether a total industry noob with absolutely no experience and little money could make it in the paysite business is true or not. Clearly it would be extraordinarily difficult for the many reasons discussed but not technically impossible.

However, the more interesting and somewhat broader question that would apply to most people on this board to me is: Could an intelligent, business-savvy person with some industry experience, a small to medium amount of money, and some other technical experience, for example, either in content production, programming or as a webmaster make a successful paysite in 2013?

Based on what I am reading I think the answer is absolutely yes, with all the caveats mentioned in the thread of course.

JT, I'm a veteran content producer with his own quality content who always imagined that one could never make money promoting content on the tube sites- or anywhere else at this point for that matter without a huge effort and expenditure. Your story is inspiring and I'd be really be interested to chat with you in Vegas. I'm going to email you as well if you don't mind.

BTW- I rarely look at post counts, but I just hit 5,000 after about ten years, woohoo, lol!
