          I think he's referring to an 'over hyped' program, as Lars is all over the place, including in Comus thumbs as the greatest thing since slided bread with kick yourself in the nut conversions to make your bank account phat.

                            Its very rare to see free cams convert rapidly into a paid membership. Usually takes weeks if not months of a buildup until they fall for a particular girl and get hooked.

                            Where you make your money is with the handful of members that get really hooked and we'll be on there all the time with the girl that snags them.

                              hmmm, doesn't look too bright for an overtaunted program

                              Pretty difficult to judge any program on 600 traffic !

                              Cams are a long term product, it takes time for surfers to convert, but when they do you can make mad cash. It also ahs a lot to do with Whales, since cam buyers can spend 10-20,000 in one month. If you get that guy he is worth 2-4,000 profit a month. But it takes time to find the good ones. If you want instant satisfaction i suggest you try the Pay up front program. Cuzz on that one guy you got there you would have been paid $50 on your 1 signup. $50 for 600 traffic seems pretty decent to me. And that also equates to more than $1 per free signup, 42 free signups $50 not too shabby. Also just a refresher a free signup on cams.com just means they selected a login and password, not that they have a credit card or that they provided any information worthwhile.. Free signups are to be used to kind of judge the potentcy of traffic. if you are running from 5-10% free signups then your traffic is good the closer to 10% the better. If you have free signups in that range over time you should do quite well with us.

                                It took me quite a while to see the money roll in with Lars.
                                However, once the money started rolling, it was continuous.
                                Like KRL said, it takes some time for free sign ups to convert to paid members.
                                If you are patient, it will pay off.
                                The problem with many webmasters is that they switch too often from one program to another and therefore never sees the benefits of any program.
                                This is not a magic game where you put a link and the $$$ start raining. It takes time and persistence just like with any endeavors.

                                      With something personality-based like cams, it takes a while to see income flowing in.
                                      Give it a while, or figure out what traffic you're sending and see if that would be best for cams.

                                          Legendary Lars % or PPS whats best ?

                                          --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                          I get this question all the time hopefully this will help clear the air a bit. I am reposting it from another thread but hopefully it is informative.

                                          first off % is better than PPS on our system. I have one webmaster who sends about 2000 traffic a day to 2 accounts. on PPS and one % and has been doing this for over a year. He makes around $100 a day on each account. The difference is if he turned off both accounts today the % account would pay out for more than a year to come slowly declining over time.

                                          As for how many free signups convert to customers, that really varies on were the traffic comes from and how it is sent to us. I have seen only one trend, if your free signups to traffic sent is over 5% then you should do well with us and te closer you are to 10% conversion from traffic to free signup the more money you will make.

                                          And on to the real hat trick
                                          In live cams there are customers and then there are REAL customers (WHALES) kinda like a casino. 1 (whale) can equal 100 customers. it usuallly takes a good ammount of traffic to find that one whale, a whale can spend as much as $20,000 in a month. as you can see at 20% this is $4000 your cut. Obviously that is the extreme but havina guy who spends 5000 is not unusual.

                                          Now sometimes someone sends us some traffic and it does not convert in the first couple days, and they pull the plug. Thinking this program sucks or whatever. Mostly they just did not stick around long enough to find the GOLD ! This is different than sending traffic to paysites. These customers come back every day and talk to girls. Eventually they try it out. the free signup you send today can turn into a sale 2 months or a year later. But if you have stopped sending traffic, you likely forget all about that when ya get your check a year later.

                                          On the other hand sometimes we get a customer who sends a little traffic lands a WHALE their first week and think oh my god this porgram is the greatest converting thing on the planet ! It typoically takes a good 6 months or so of steady traffic to reach a peak performance but can take up to a year.

                                          This is a long term partnership, Many companies have been with us for years and we are inside almost every major paysite company there is. There is a reason for that !

                                          Please give us a shot at converting your traffic, but give us a fair shot at it and remember it takes a bit more time with live cams but the payoffs can be wicked for waiting around

                                            try and figure that one out. i cant.

                                            SE traffic would do much better going to cams.com rather than the $1 sites.

                                            hit me up on ICQ 2593795, I will prepay you to do it again to cams.com
                                            I KNOW I can make money off of that traffic. The ratio is much better than 10%

                                              In fairness to Lars and other webcam programs (like WebcamCash), webcams don't convert the same way as regular membership sites. I'm not saying they don't convert as well, but the patterns are different.

                                              In a membership site, the surfer will typically either buy the membership at the end of the tour, or never return. With webcams, however, the surfer may hang out for a few months in the free chatroooms before spending a dime. Then suddenly one day: CH-CHING!!!

                                              Here is my advice: switch to revshare, and wait patiently for that whale to bite. Eventually they always do and when he does you will know why so many webmasters today are choosing webcams.

                                              Looking for a great program that converts ANY traffic? Me too! :-P

                                                  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                  I get this question all the time hopefully this will help clear the air a bit. I am reposting it from another thread but hopefully it is informative.

                                                  first off % is better than PPS on our system. I have one webmaster who sends about 2000 traffic a day to 2 accounts. on PPS and one % and has been doing this for over a year. He makes around $100 a day on each account. The difference is if he turned off both accounts today the % account would pay out for more than a year to come slowly declining over time.

                                                  As for how many free signups convert to customers, that really varies on were the traffic comes from and how it is sent to us. I have seen only one trend, if your free signups to traffic sent is over 5% then you should do well with us and te closer you are to 10% conversion from traffic to free signup the more money you will make.

                                                  And on to the real hat trick
                                                  In live cams there are customers and then there are REAL customers (WHALES) kinda like a casino. 1 (whale) can equal 100 customers. it usuallly takes a good ammount of traffic to find that one whale, a whale can spend as much as $20,000 in a month. as you can see at 20% this is $4000 your cut. Obviously that is the extreme but havina guy who spends 5000 is not unusual.

                                                  Now sometimes someone sends us some traffic and it does not convert in the first couple days, and they pull the plug. Thinking this program sucks or whatever. Mostly they just did not stick around long enough to find the GOLD ! This is different than sending traffic to paysites. These customers come back every day and talk to girls. Eventually they try it out. the free signup you send today can turn into a sale 2 months or a year later. But if you have stopped sending traffic, you likely forget all about that when ya get your check a year later.

                                                  On the other hand sometimes we get a customer who sends a little traffic lands a WHALE their first week and think oh my god this porgram is the greatest converting thing on the planet ! It typoically takes a good 6 months or so of steady traffic to reach a peak performance but can take up to a year.

                                                  This is a long term partnership, Many companies have been with us for years and we are inside almost every major paysite company there is. There is a reason for that !

                                                  Please give us a shot at converting your traffic, but give us a fair shot at it and remember it takes a bit more time with live cams but the payoffs can be wicked for waiting around

                                                  very well said lars!
                                                  i just switched from ImLive to your program last week, and im 1:14 with free signups (but i choose the 20% for life program), i used to be a camgirl back in the day so i know the patterns and how the work (about a girl hookin a guy in to spend a large amount of $$ monthly and long term), i used to do that all the time with ease.

                                                  Cams are wayyy different than just a PPS site. Its not a "take the cash and run" kind of program. its a "wait it out" program. it'll pay off...remember, patience is vital in the cam biz.

                                                    Well put, and don't forget with sites like Lars often visitors come back after a free sign-up and go 1-on-1 later. Over time, with consistent traffic the revshares will really add up. One customer can be worth literally thousands of dollars to an affiliate which beats the $25 PPS on many pay sites - even with a few months of rebills!

                                                      The secret to his program is the percentage payout. Remember consistency wins out in the end.

                                                          However, once the money started rolling, it was continuous.
                                                          Like KRL said, it takes some time for free sign ups to convert to paid members.
                                                          If you are patient, it will pay off.
                                                          The problem with many webmasters is that they switch too often from one program to another and therefore never sees the benefits of any program.
                                                          This is not a magic game where you put a link and the $$$ start raining. It takes time and persistence just like with any endeavors.

                                                              I don't think that webcams convert that well anymore. Surfers are getting savyy and they know that the chicks are professionals that just want their money and that don't feel anything when they put a 20 inch dildo in their pussies. Plus all the shows are the same... It gets boring for the surfer to see every girl do the same thing.

And thousands of blind hits isn't enough either. Not referring to Arika but to all the posts recently from people saying sponsors don't convert. Send 1000s of targeted hits then talk

                                                                        It's absolutely wrong and uninformed. We don't shave and I believe alot of companies we are doing big business with don't shave either. Unless you run a paysite and have seen the backend of things I don't think it is wise to jump to these conclusions. Before I started Twistys I was the first to jump out and say this sponsor is shaving today. Guess what? I was wrong. I was DEAD WRONG!

                                                                        Here is a perfect example. We have an affiliate sending 7 to 9 signups a day. He's been very consistent over the past 10 months. Then on Wednesday he had no signups. 0:5600 after averaging close to 1:560 month after month. Now call me crazy but that looks like shaving if i ever saw it right? That's just the way wednesday was, a shitty fuckin sales day. Guess what happened Thursday? He banged out 15 sales. Same traffic. One day 0 and one day 15. That is how paysites work. When you own one you are absolutely amazed at the trends. Our sales can go up or down 30% on any given day with the same traffic. It is 100% how much our processors are processing for that given day.

                                                                        All that to say, for people that want to assume every sponsor shaves... you are DEAD WRONG. There are many other factors at play that may be limiting your sales. Usually it has to do with yourself. It is easy to blame others but step back and take a look at yourself and how you are promoting the sponsor and WHAT sponsor you are promoting. 9 times out of ten you'll the choices and decisions you have made may be the problem.

                                                                              Because 20% of anything is more than 50% of nothing.

                                                                              In other words, customers tend to spend more (A LOT more) with webcam programs than they do with other programs. Webcam customers can spend $1,000's every month while paysite members only spend $30-$50 per month. I'll take 20% of $1,000 over 50% of $50 any day.

                                                                              If you are talking about a WEBCAM program that pays 50%, I haven't heard of any, but if one does then they definitely aren't spending the money necessary to attract the top webcam talent. As a result your conversions will suffer.
