LOL It's true! You can start a paysite, do all you've outlined (and a hundred things more) and you MAY get a TON of sales - or not. There's simply no way to tell until you try (and don't believe ANYONE who tells you X is 'gaurunteed' or X is a 'sure thing'. You simply have to try and see what hits).

Yes absolutely... there's two types, people who go in guns blazing, do every marketing strat, trick, idea as it pops into their head... and then the types which plan but never do, because they're perfectionists, suffer from analysis paralysis or are just plain lazy
whilst the first is definitely better than the second, ideally you'd want to go middle ground and take "planned" action, so to speak
so in line with what you're saying, be focussed, get the site out there as soon as possible *BUT* with all essential marketing strats in place, otherwise the issue of no sales could be a lack of marketing
... but then if it doesn't work, move on
you'd probably want to set yourself some sort of deadline to get the site started by... now that you have a few sites you can probably pump them out in a matter of weeks... but when you started out, what was a good time frame to prepare and release your first site? 1month? 2 months?
and how long did it take till the marketing started to take effect?

Never buy traffic... noted. That is actually something I've found several people on this site saying as well, hence the fact I haven't added any paid form of marketing in my check list. This is likely something you may want to consider doing when you're seasoned, when you know your numbers and business, industry, etc... definitely not when you're the rookie starting out
