I was referring to an average of 500 paying members per month, realizing that people join and drop everyday. I didn't have a time frame in mind but I guess we could say over any given year.
I think it depends on how much competition there is in the niche you're aiming for. Plus let's not forget the rise of tube sites. I do believe people will pay if the content great and accessible. Choosing the right price and consistant marketing strategies aimed at keeping your members happy/rebilled is also key.
Yes. 500 members a month is realistic. Now you probably think wow that's 15000$ in the pocket! Wrong! Provided that you have all the gear and content already available, you'd have to pay:
Affiliates, Host. CCBILL fees, Models. Misc(overages, chargebacks, voids)
Then there is probably 30%-40% left of that money. Now that's if you manage everything yourself. i.e, design, programming, etc.
