Well since almost everyone has voiced their opinion. I'm going to share a little wisedom.
1. Say farewell to privacy. Every internet model out there loses their right to privacy as soon as they start their website. Don't expect to remain anonymous forever, someone, somewhere will find either your real name, home address, and more and make it semi-public knowledge. Also remember there is a good chance that friends, family, teachers, exlovers, coworkers, classmates, bosses, people you know around you will find your website and become well versed in your body.
Of course it will come back to haunt you later.
2. Get ready for criticism. You can't please everyone. You'll get a lot of nasty comments, emails, posts, etc that are directed at you. Hell you might even get the criticism from people in person. So you better develop a thick skin as soon as possible. Most likely you will encounter a few "nutjobs" who will scare you or do something to startle you. Just becareful about the stalkers and the real psychos out there.
3. Get a webdesigner/webmaster that actually knows how to code. If you find someone that calls themself a "webdesigner" or "webmaster" ask them what coding tool they use. If they respond "Frontpage" they are not a real webdesigner or webmaster. They are using a shoddy tool, to build shoddy "websites" that only work for one kind of browser. They spew nothing but bloated proprietary code. Your webmaster should at least know xhtml (strict, transitional, loose), css1, css2, javascript, perl, php, mysql, and flash. They should also be well versed in webdesign itself (actual construction and planning), and should have at least some experience to back them up. It is also suggested you find someone with a background in photography, photomanipulation (Photoshop), and artistic skills.
4. Be original and generative. You will eventually become pressed for new and interesting ideas for sets. People get sick of the same thing over and over. And, you will have to constantly put out quality photosets, videos, cambroadcasts, and whatnot regularly. To keep member's interest and cash you should at least put out new material weekly. If you think people will stick around for a monthly update, you're wrong.
5. Become organized and secure. Make sure to keep all your source material backed up, cataloged, and safe. Too many times I've seen sites go down and not have a recent backup, or the material wasn't well organized.
