I’ve seen folks invest hundreds of thousands of dollars and fail miserably. I’ve seen others invest little, yet they’ve earned millions from their paysites. You simply can’t throw money at a DNS server and expect to get any money back. You have to understand the market before you open a paysite. You have to know about surfers, billers, content providers, hosting providers, legal issues and documentation as well as knowing HTML. You have to know if your particular niche will have a viable, paying audience. You have to know how to market to millions with keywords and clever copy. You have to know it all if you want to run a paysite. You can invest all you want but if you’re not prepared, you’re worth nothing.
