Depending on what skills you bring to the table, I usually tell people you can do it for 10 to 20K. How shrewd and skillful you are with that money is what will make it or break it. Talent is easy to find when you have the money. One model place can be a good resource. You have to be professional when you approach talent or you will sink yourself before you even pull the trigger on your new Nikon. You should decide if you are going to do a personality based or fetish based site. That will determine the variety of talent you will need to hire. My advice.....stay well clear of any kind of revshare deal. Spend the money and have full control of the product. Remember model releases are critical.

I believe if you have a good gag, you can launch with 15 to 20 photo sets and some short videos. Of course, as mentioned previously, you should have six months of weekly updates in the can. If you can get business at that level, it will indicate interest by potential customers. Do traffic trades if you can. Like a previous poster said, stay well clear of affiliate marketing until you learn to market yourself. It is too expensive and unnecessary. If you can't sell your own product, then perhaps no one else can.

Its not easy, but its also not difficult if you have the right attitude and skills. You can expect to see a decent return in a few months.
