very interesting thread!
And yes JT, you were not a newbie, so Pseudonymous is right :p
would be good someone to post what are considered the normal start up costs, content/cms/design/dev.servers/aff.script etc
Overall i personally agree that is very hard, close to impossible for a total newbie as things are right now.
Its all relative though. What a total newbie in the end is? Someone that has no idea of the industry nor of the web nor of shooting nor of marketing and wants to start making money right away with zero investment without teaming up with anyone?
I think this hardly can happen in any industry anyhow... Can someone make a successful design agency without knowing photoshop nor hiring designers?
Its always product+marketing+sales...
When you can do only 1 of these and dont have the means to hire people to do the other 2, then you sell your product/service to others that need it, as much as you need them or you team up.
Adult was a goldmine but this was meant to stop at some point as in any other industry, goldmines dont last forever.
