A paysite is a business. Try reverse engineering the expenses into how much revenue is required to be profitable.
1000-1500 members at $30 is $360-540k per year.
Possible expenses:
- content
- software, hosting
- employees (accounting, design, sales, support?)
- billing %
Where are these members coming from? Is there an affiliate program?
13 years ago I ran paysites with cheap content, my own tracking software, and my own organic traffic. Did not need a lot of members to earn a decent living.
A paysite with one exclusive scene per week paying 50% to affiliates with 1-2 employees might struggle to break even with 1000 members.
