Yes.
No.

Secondly are you going to produce the content or buy non exclusive content?

I'm not going to do either, but if a PRODUCER is going to launch a paysite, I would image they already have shit tons of their own content they can use to launch sites...
Content sells, CCBill is cheap to setup (even with the $750 Visa and upcoming $500 mastercard fee) and traffic is free (for all intents and purposes) if he were to post about his new 50/50 revshare program using EXCLUSIVE content on boards like GFY.
He already has content (being a producer) all he needs is a few tube style tour headers (which are around $150 a pop if ordered in bulk) and he's all set.
By my calculations, thats potentially $1350 for processing and lets say he launched 10 sites, thats another $1500 so, $2850 total.
Drop another $1-$2000 on filler content and he'd have a site with a members area to rival pretty much any PPS program in the marketplace right now, at least so far as content went.
The rest he'd be able to figure out as he went along and, I would still say with less than $5k invested in his new affiliate program, he/she would break even within 3-6 months.
That figure is a far cry from $50-$100k plus.
We both know affiliates are fickle, they'd throw elephant shit at a wall to make a buck if they thought it would stick.
