ok, i want to start a paysite and i need help from those of you who already have one.

what do i need? basically, content, hosting, and a cc processor right?

how much exclusive content should i get? a thousand pics? wouldn't that be too much? or just a few hundred pics of exclusive content and a lot of non-exclusive content would be enough?

which cc processor should i go for? ccbill, ibill, acpay, probilling. it seems probilling and acpay have no setup fees so i'm gearing to using them. but there's also abbilling who not only offers cc processing, but free content, and free hosting as well. although they get a bigger percentage of your income. plus abbilling doesn't send the checks of the affiliates for you. you have to do them yourself.

so what else do i need?

any help would be appreciated.

What kind of Paysite ? A Niche or Mainstream . For Processor i think anything but IBILL go for Probilling or Acpay .
How Much You have For Start Up ? (or private)
For Hosting I recommend Oxeo or else Split Infinity kind of $$$ but i can assure you almost never any downtime maybe twice a year.
Do you need any banners/buttons done I can help provide you with that plz ICQ or email webgurl@stockingfever.com
Good Luck
