So enlighten us what are paysites that have "exploded" in the last 5 years ?
From what I can see they have not been overly expensive. The route to paysite success that I can see has been about pushing the boundaries of what you can get past your biller.
Implied incest, fake doctor/taxi/ etc, Step Mom, Bad Daddy etc. A rather unpleasant race to the bottom.
Morally questionable yes, amazing content no, expensive to produce no.

Here is my thinking a few things that are necessary to be successful today...
Let's be honest this thinking is all based on nothing but what I think would work.
I would build a site on content that would deliver to a specific niche. That niche would have to be one that is relevant and hot right now and it would have to be catered to exactly as that niche wants. Too many people throw content production into the general content formula and forget about niche. So I would let data drive what type of content I produce.
The other important thing would be to have every angle of the sales/rebill/monetizing process down TIGHT. Not a single dollar can be lost in the process. You can't shoot content, throw up a tour and be happy with that. It's a business and you have to look at each step on your site and make sure it's working.
One of the main reasons I haven't started my own new thing is because I believe I know what goes in to make a successful site today. I know the work that is required to make it successful and if I'm being completely honest in many ways I worry that in the place I am right now I just don't have it in me to do it by myself. I used to work 18 hour days and let nothing stop me to achieving my goals. Now I have kids and I spend the majority of my time with them and I love it. So one reason I post threads like this is because I know working with the right people I can help them achieve greatness. The problem is I don't think I can do it all on my own at the moment and I damn sure don't have 18 hours a day to do it.
