hello, new looking for some advice!

Welcome!

You're right about content selling not being an option. You need a fairly broad base of models for that and there is a TON of competition in that field just now. The Canon 10D is a very good investment if you like Canon, and is actually overkill for web work at a good price. And for sure you need some lighting equipment and a decent mini-dv camera. Photos are great but you really need video as well to keep members.

Chris is exactly right about the site options. Single girl sites are very hit and miss and depend on the girl's look and/or the fetish niche(s) she is in, if any. But they do have an advantage in being easier to forge a unique identity. The same goes with the second option really. Using your girl as the focus and featuring others can be a good way to keep the interest of members but you will still have a unique identity to set you apart from the "super sites".

One thing to remember is that if you start either type of site with your gf as a focus it is VERY important that she continues to work for other sites as well. As well as bringing her money, anything that raises her profile on other sites can only help her own site. Plus it can often be possible for her to get a link to her site or permission to use the content from a session for her own purposes. You mention that she has done videos but you didn't say what kind. If they are dvd/vhs releases that can be a good way to get type in and serch engine traffic. Plus you can set up an affiliate store with PECash or one of the other companies and make money through marketing them.

At least you have the right attitude and realize that it will indeed be a lot of work.
