My best advice is to simply start shooting. I very intentionally made the decision set up barriers. For example "I can't start shooting until I get "such and such" once I get that, then I'll start. If I did that, I know myself and I would then say...now I really need (whatever) then when I get that, I'll begin. Problem is that there will always be something new and you keep using it as an excuse not to start.
It doesn't matter if your first title sells. It's great if it does, if it doesn't than at least you will have learned something so that your next one will be that much better.
If you don't have a budget to hire actors, then shoot kinky friends who would so it for nothing more than being able to use the video for self promotion.
It's really hard to judge the quality of your work, people have a tendency to think everything they do is gold. I suggest you separate yourself from your work. When people critique your title they are not talking about you as a person.
Shoot it, drop it into a forum like this, and listen to the feedback you get. Personally I find more value when people take the time to tell me what I did wrong and offer advice on how to improve it.
